Is this normal? It looks flat when I stand up but looks terrible when I lean over. I did have fluid removed on one visit, but nothing on further visits. Could it be that the skin didn't attach?

Answer: Hanging skin after tummy tuck It would be difficult to comment without pics. Please return to your plastic surgeon who can examine you to see what may be the cause.

Answer: Loose skin The reason most patients consider TT is that their skin has lost its elasticity. The TT removes the excess, but cannot restore what was lost. If you were tight while bent over, you would not be able to stand erect. While sitting, the chest and pelvis come closer together, and the skin buckles some. This happens even to patients without skin excess. You will not likely see a swimsuit model sitting--usually they are arched backward. without photos, it is not possible to offer anything more specific. All the best.
