Does BBL leave you with loose skin in the abdominal area?

Thank you for your question. A physical exam or pictures would be helpful to answer this question. If there is significant amount of excess skin a tummy tuck would be helpful in removing any excess skin that remains. Best wishesTheodore T. Nyame MD

My practice is entirely devoted to body contouring using various forms of liposuction and fat transfer.Abdominal skin can be compromised to some degree from liposuction.It's generally not enough to concern patients if the procedure is done well.This can include aggressive liposuction done well.The patients that are at highest risk for developing changes in their skin contour or texture our patients who have mild skin laxity to start with.These are generally women who have had children who have some skin laxity to start with..In those cases the skin care look a little bit more wrinkled or loose.Never to the point of hanging.patients with tight skin rarely see any change.Patients with very loose skin will have more skin laxity but usually I'm not bothered by this if the results for the liposuction or fat transfer our substantial.If you're planning on having an abdominoplasty then skin laxity is a non-issue since the abdominoplasty will pull your skin tight. The bottom line is that liposuction is done well usually does not compromise the skin very much on the abdomen on most patients.when patient selection is done appropriately the improvements in body contours and results easily outweigh any potential minor change in how the skin looks.Best,Mats Hagstrom, MD
