2 months postpartum. Is this fat or loose skin? (photo)

Since you are only two months post partum, you may still have more changes. Once you have reached 6 months, then visit with a plastic surgeon to see what your options are.

Thank you for your photos. I don’t see any hanging skin of your abdomen. If you do have a little bit of extra weight, which you have not lost since you’re pregnancy, my recommendation would be to get a excellent diet and exercise regiment and get yourself down to your best body weight that you can and reevaluate the contour of your abdomen at that point. You’ll probably see a lot of what is bothering you now, disappear as you become more fit. Then you can have a detailed consultation with your plastic surgeon to decide what’s best for you or if anything needs to be done at all.

Dear Nice153977,

based on your photos, you look like a good candidate for a TT. Full tummy tuck should tighten your abdominal muscles and remove the excess skin. Flanks liposuction would give you a better shape. I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon because only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.
