I have great firm skin, totally unpinchable. Is this a problem for a tummy tuck?

Pinch an inch is an expression we use about the extra skin that maybe left after liposuction and repairing your diastasic rectus or weakened abdominal wall. Good luck...

Hello and thank you for your question.  The
best advice you can receive is from an in-person consultation.  In order to perform a tummy tuck, some skin laxity is needed in order to close your abdomen.   Make sure you specifically look
at before and after pictures of real patients who have had this surgery
performed by your surgeon and evaluate their results.   The most
important aspect is to find a surgeon you are comfortable with. I recommend
that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who
can evaluate you in person.
Best wishes and good luck.
