Tummy tuck: skin removal only? (Photo)

January 16, 2017
Asked By:Danasny in Queens Village, NY

I lost 100lbs through diet & exercise. Only the skin on my lower tummy is very lose. I have a strong core and my muscles are very tight. I am looking to have a tummy tuck to remove the skin ONLY. I have no children. I only want to have the excess skin removed (hoping to reveal the muscles underneath) Is this possible? what are the possible disadvantages of only removing excess skin? Is this still considered a "tummy tuck" ? what are the downside of a "drainless surgery" with only skin removal?
