Residual Fat after tummy tuck
by Christina

I had a full tummy tuck about 3 months ago and thought my tummy still had alot of fluid in it. I went to my DR. yesterday and asked if he could drain it because he hadn't used drains on me after the surgery. He told me that it wasn't fluid, it was residual fat. He said he could do liposuction but then I might have loose skin afterwards which would require another tummy tuck! I'm going to a different surgeon for a second opinion but, I'm VEY unpleased with the results of the tummy tuck and wouldn't suggest it to anyone. Was wondering if I can lose this "residual fat" on my own and tighten up the skin somehow without undergoing more surgery?
