I still have so much loose extra skin. All of my issues that I had before, I still have. All of this is what made me get a mommy makeover. I wore my FAJA for 18 weeks, I was the PERFECT patient! Plenty of water and a plant based diet. Why is there soo much extra skin still there? I honestly feel like I didn't have a tummy tuck. I also feel like my implants are "bottoming out". This recovery has been mentally draining as it is.

Answer: Why do I still have so much extra skin 6mos post op? (Photos) Because of the laxity of your abdomen, I do not believe that you had a full tummy tuck, as a full tummy tuck addresses both the loose skin and the lax abdominal wall as to give a nice, flat youthful contour to the abdomen. The tummy tuck also creates a more youthful belly button. Tummy tuck without muscle repair may make the recovery easier, but, if you have laxity in that area, the result will be better with plication. In general, the muscles should be brought to anatomic norms. The smaller the separation, the less tightening required and the less discomfort.
