Getting Rid of Loose Skin Without Muscle Tightening

December 18, 2009
Asked By:bzz77 in CA

I have lost weight and now have loose skin on my belly. I am trying to find out the best way to get rid of this. I thought that tummy tucks were for getting rid of loose skin, but then I heard that tummy tucks also tighten muscle. I want the least invasive procedure possible and would therefore rather not have my muscles operated on. Is this possible? Can anyone recommend a certain type of procedure that is good for loose skin?
