“Tummy tuck for apron of skin after losing 125lb”

Tummy tuck: Worth it

Cost: $7,500
Pain: Painfree
Tummy tuck satisfaction: Very good4 Star Rating: Very good
Seeking help:

Has anyone else had a deep vertical crease in the stomach area after a tummy tuck? It is so deep that it hids my belly button when I am standing. My doctor has never seen this before. He said it may be due to the fact that I wear compression garments everyday and still use the wrap at night. Any thoughts?

Review of Tummy tuck:

Treatment was fine. I never had pain. Results are good except for this big vertical crease in my stomach. I had the tummy tuck after losing 125 lbs and had huge apron of skin hanging down.

In many cases after massive weight loss, the skin must not only be pulled down but also inward (i.e. narrow the waista rea) to remove the horizontal excess of skin. This may require a bigger scar, but it prevents the creasing in the midline.
