I have lost just over 70lbs. The belly is smaller but still there and loose and the love handles will not budge. The only fat area I have is my belly/ love handles. I have been referred to a plastic surgeon, by my GP, but I would like your thoughts. I am 5' 8 and 167 my BMI is 27. I would still like to loose 15 to 24 lbs. Can this be corrected with just exercise?

Answer: Exercise/ Tummy Tuck Hello,Congratulations on your weight loss! Exercise and diet will help target the abdominal fat and I recommend that you lose as much excess fat as possible before considering a Tummy Tuck. Often, after weight loss, the loose, excess skin does not tighten back up and separated abdominal muscles will also not come together and tighten up with exercise. If you've reached your target weight and still want to make some changes after, I'd recommend that you book a consultation with a board certified Plastic Surgeon who specialises in this procedure.All the best!

Answer: Achieving a great result The degree of saggy skin and loose abdomen will not be better losing some more weight or doing a lot of exercise. So these features make you a perfect candidate for a Tummy Tuck and muscle repair in order to get rid of the saggy skin and achieving a flat abdomen and tapered waist.Adding some curves will make you look very attractive. Be encouraged. Dr. Cardenas
