Asked By:swishste7 in Kansas City, Missouri

Hey experts! I, 33 y/o male, lost over 100 pounds and I now want to remove my excess loose skin in the abdomen and maybe some in the back. I’ve had 2 consults with board certified plastic surgeons and 1 recommend an FDL as he stayed with the additional laxity in the horizontal plane, that I wouldn’t be satisfied with my results otherwise. The next surgeon recommended an extended. Obviously I don’t want a vertical scar, but I’m not really sure how to choose with differing opinions.
