Asked By:phoenix2288

I had a tummy tuck 18mos ago. 2 years prior I had full abs, 2mos prior small waist with loose skin, very minimal fat. I workout regularly and have a controlled/clean diet most of the time. Prior my stomach would fall into itself laying down and now stays out and is hard. Very obvious lower abdomen "pooch" and muffin tip over scar. 15lbs lighter than before surgery, it's not fat. My jeans and panties don't fit, I had to go up a size.
