I lost 50 pounds. I have 45 more to go but already have a lot of loose skin hanging off my stomach and breasts so am looking into a tummy tuck and breast lift. My butt has rolls of loose skin now and is extremely flat. I have a lot of loose skin on my hips too. Will the tummy tuck procedure help the loose hip and butt cheek skin, or will I just have a flat stomach with rolls of skin hanging off my butt? My upper thighs and pubic area are all loose skin as well. Are these addressed?
