I had a tummy tuck on 2008, Contrary to what I spected my stomack got bigger. the doctor told that he did what he could , and It would got down if I loose weight. However, I lost pound every where, except my belly. I am 60 years old. I don't know if age could be a factor. I can wear bigger clothes to cover my stomach. My stomach does not mach my armas, legs or gluteos.
