Can I have the loose skin cut off of my sides only? I had a tummy tuck.

Thanks for your inquiry, without a picture it is hard to comment, but tummy tucks can be converted into lower body lift to remove lateral and posterior skin excess, please seek the opinion of a board certified plastic surgeon.

It is not uncommon to have some loose skin at the sides after a tummy tuck. Extension of the scar laterally or to the back may be necessary to remove the excess loose skin. This would be considered a revision and the price varies by region, but is usually significantly less than the original procedure. 

Hello and thank you for your question. Excess loose flank skin is a common problem following massive weight loss. There are several ways of removing it including revision of you tummy tuck, converting it into a vertical excision. Doing a bra line lift. Converting the tummy tuck to a posterior body lift and or doing a direct excision of skin along the flanks. Check with your surgeon if they do this.Peter Fisher M.D
