Skinny and Don't Have Much Skin- Do I Really Need a Tummy Tuck?

April 18, 2011
Asked By:Anastacia27 in Bridgeport, CT

One doctor says yes (one I paid a deposit to and scheduled the procedure a week from now) another doctor I saw today said I don't have enough skin to pull telling me basically that I would be wasting my money that liposuction for my little bulge would be better followed by laser for the stretch marks. Who should I believe? I don't want to get a tummy tuck to still have a bunch of stretch marks. I recently lost a few pounds also unintentionally. I need help please look at my pic.
