After losing 100 pounds and a twin pregnancy, I had 2.5 pounds of fat/skin from my belly removed. I’m still left with a lot of flubber though as seen in this pic. These jeans are not at all too tight either. I’m horrified to think this is what I’m left with after spending so much money and going through so much pain.

Answer: Abdomen Your one view does not show your abdomen well, but you might benefit from liposuction. Liposuction is not done in the area of the tuck for safety to the skin.

Answer: Results Congratulations on your impressive weight loss! It is difficult to assess your result without more information or an examination. It can take 9-12 months before seeing final results from a tummy tuck. Weight fluctuations can also impact results. I encourage you to return to your surgeon to discuss your concerns.

Answer: Residual skin and fat The first thing I ask patients is if they have had any major weight fluctuations or pregnancies AFTER their tummy tuck. If the answer is yes, then oftentimes this can be a reason why patients have residual skin and fat. If the answer is no, different techniques and amounts of skin resection are used by different surgeons to minimize complications due to things like too much tension on the wound etc. I cannot speak to other surgeons' techniques, however some err on the conservative side of skin excision to prevent complications like scar widening and/or wound separation.
