What Happens if You Lose Weight Post Tummy Tuck?

October 22, 2008
Asked By:buster in Texas

If you have a tummy tuck and diet to lose additional weight after, will that skin hang loose? I would like to remove excess skin now but weigh more than I would like and am planning on dropping more weight in the future.
