Is this loose skin or normal? (Photo)

Thank you for your inquiry! A small amount of skin laxity is normal following an abdominoplasty procedure. As we age or with weight fluctuations, our skin will continue to become 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!

Thanks for your question! From what I can see, that is normal. It looks like you are hunching down a little bit. That will create a little loose skin in all of us because we need the skin to be able to stand up straight. Your result looks nice and I wouldn't worry too much about it. Good luck!

Hi Polite710069, Overall you look like you had a great result from the tummy tuck. It is normal to still have some extra or loose skin after this procedure as there are limitations of how much skin and tissue can be removed. I would recommend consulting with either your previous surgeon or another board certified plastic surgeon to see if liposuction with a tightening device would be an option to help tighten excess skin. We always recommend patients to be at their goal weight as well prior to considering this additional procedure. Hope this is helpful!
