Hi I have loose skin on my upper abdomen. I went for a mommy makeover consult with a great surgeon. He felt I was too thin and didn’t have enough laxity to justify such a huge operation. Fair and appreciate the honesty. So what can I do? He didn’t suggest any lasers. He leans more surgical. Does anyone have any suggestions. I am 40 this year and have a 2.5 year old and 11 month old. So I had back to back babies. 5’2 and 113 lbs. Thanks.

Answer: Loose skin on upper Abdomen Dear Americanbeautyqueen, 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.

Answer: Loose skin From the photos it appears there is some loose skin when you are bending forward but not when standing upright. This is true for most everyone. You could consider a reverse tummy tuck where the skin is pulled up with the incision under the breasts. There are pros and cons to this procedure. You can consider Morpheus8 which is performed in the office. It combines RF technology with microneedling to improve overall tone and texture. The results will depend on the quality of the skin.
