Asked By:Sweetpeenk99037 in Spokane Valley, Washington

I am almost a year and a half post tummy tuck. When I lean forward or am on my hands and knees, the skin is severely loose and looks like udders. I had a muscle repair along with this tummy tuck and some liposuction. I went back to my PS and did not get any answers that I felt really helped me figure out why this happened or what we could do to fix it. I love how I look standing up and in clothing but when I am bending over, it’s pretty gross looking and I’m very disappointed.
