Second Tummy Tuck 25 years later?

Thank you for your inquiry! A small amount of skin laxity is normal following an abdominoplasty procedure. As we age, menopause, or weight fluctuations can all cause our skin to become more lax to the point where there is additional skin that could be removed. We would love to see you in person and help you reach your goals. Schedule a consultation with a Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon like myself and we can assess your abdomen and create a plan for you!

Dear izzygirl,

it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.

Yes, you can have secondary surgery to help rejuvenate your tummy. Since your muscle are tight, liposuction with skin removal in the form of a mini-tummy tuck with or without another umbilical transposition can be done. Fortunately, this can be done with local anesthesia and no drains necessary with a significantly less involved recovery. I hope this helps. Thank you!
