Loose skin after a tummy tuck, have I been botched? (Photos)

September 9, 2017
Asked By:eeeeee6 in Toledo, OH

I had a tummy tuck 10 weeks ago and at this point I am extremely unhappy about my results. I am only 21 and have never had kids, but I lost around 100 lbs before surgery. I was expecting a tight stomach with no loose skin and right now I still have a large amount of hanging skin. The skin hangs over the sides of my scar and my stomach is not flat. I can also still pull skin away from my sides and upper stomach. What can I do to fix this problem? Is it clear that my surgeon botched my tummy tuck?
