Would a tummy tuck benefit me?

I have lost 95lbs, and awhile i am not quite finished yet, i already have a lot of extra skin on my stomach and arms. I know when i have finally reached my goal, that taking care of this extra skin will be on my immediate agenda. I'm just wondering if a tummy tuck is something that would work for me? considering i have so much, Or if that is better suited towards someone with less skin to remove? I don't know anyone who has done it before so i have no clue how it works exactly...

    Hi,

    Instead of a regular tummy tuck, you could opt for a Dermolipectomy depending on your BMI and other factors.

    A dermolipectomy is a safer procedure, done under appropriate local anesthesia, without putting you to sleep, and with less complications.

    It can give you similar or even better results than a tummy tuck, including removal of excess skin and liposculture.

    Please let me know if you have further questions - take care!

    Yes the best way to tighten excess skin would be a Tummy Tuck, Buttock Lift, Lower Body Lift, Breast Lift and Face and Neck Lift, this is assuming you have quite a lot of excess skin and by the sounds of it you have done fantastically to lose 95lbs so would have quite a bit of extra skin.
