information about me, I am a 25 year old white male, 5'11", current weight is 170 lbs, highest was 310 lbs. I had surgery about 5 months ago. I am not happy with the results. the skin on my mid section still has significant laxity and "spill over" my pants when sitting down. My doctor claims that it is normal, that exercising the abdomen will help "fill it out" and a small amount of fat can be liposuctioned out during revision surgery. Looking at the pics, it's hard to believe those will help.

Answer: Laxity After Body Lift Thank you for your question.I tell all my weight loss patients that recurrence or persistence of laxity is the rule and not the exception. This is normal. It is not realistic to expect the body skin to be completely snug and tight at all times after a body lift. The skin has lost its elasticity and will inevitably sag some after the swelling of surgery goes away.It can be improved upon by going back a second time to get more but this is not the fault of the surgeon. This happens predictably. Knowing the possibility of a second procedure on the front end, makes it not a surprise on the back end.

Answer: Body Lift It appears from your photos -- if these are in fact your post-operative Tummy Tuck photos-----that the lift leaves a little to be desired. I would like to see this roll of skin and fat completely removed and a much flatter abdomen.
