Steady weight loss after a tummy tuck, will my skin retract and can I get lipo?

May 16, 2020
Asked By:RovingRosy in Dallas, TX

I lost a lot of weight before I got pregnant and had a lot of excessive skin. I have now had two children and two C-sections. I am wondering if I lose weight steadily after a tummy tuck if my skin will retract nicely. I've contemplated losing the weight first, but it is very difficult with my current stomach. I am also wanting lipo, pretty obviously, around my entire abdominal area.
