I am a 49 year old male and have lost almost 100 pounds over the last 18 months going from 260 to 160lbs. I have been able to firm up the arms, chest, thighs and buttocks with a combination of rigorous weight and cardio exercise and although I am not quite there, I am pleased with the results so far. The abdomen area is my real concern because it has lost the fat but there seems to be nothing I can do with exersize to diminish the extra shin tissue. I've been to several PS's and some have recommended an abdominoplasty while others said that lipo might help some with the skin tightening. I researched and found no real evidence that lipo can tighten that much loose skin. My alternative is the tummy tuck however I am really concerned about the scarring. Can you share your experience with this.
