I have extra/lax skin from rapid weight gain and weight loss. It’s been 2-3 years since the weight loss and my skin hasn’t recovered. Online consults say surgery is my only real option. Besides cost, my biggest concern is my chest/belly hair. I have a fairly hairy chest and want to keep it. I know there will be some scarring, but I’m really worried what it would do to my hair pattern. How much would a mini tuck affect my belly hair? It already seems less hairy because of the stretched skin.
