Can most people have second tummy tuck after 4 years?

May 24, 2016
Asked By:mommyof3sunshine in Little Falls, NJ

I had a tummy tuck 4 years ago. While I'm happy with the results, the doctor agreed that he didn't pull my sides tight enough. You can pinch about 3 inches on either side and it's not fat just skin. It's only noticeable sitting. I would like to get another tummy tuck to remove that extra skin and all my stretch marks that are now below my belly button. I'm just curious if it's worth booking a few consultations. Can most people's skin stretch enough to do another full tummy tuck 4 years later?
