Losing a lot of weight within a short period of time can sometimes result in unwanted areas of excess skin.

As August becomes September, and the Halloween candies (already!) start taking over entire aisles at the grocery store, it becomes more and more clear: summer is winding down. Of course, that timeline differs depending on where you live. Here in Northern California, we’ve still got plenty of upper 70s, lower 80s to look forward to. That also means it’s not too late to take advantage of the summertime and commit (or recommit) to an exercise routine. No matter how you opt to strive for a better body, a trimmer physique, or simply to lose a few pounds, diet and exercise should be a part of it. However, there is the possibility that after autumn rolls into the Bay Area, after your exercise has led to a lower number on the bathroom scale… there might still be some unwelcome signs of that now absent excess fat on your body.

You changed your diet and stepped it up in the healthy eating department. Or maybe you opted for a procedure to enable you to drop a significant amount of weight. In any case, you dropped the weight. And how does your body repay you? With a collection of loose, saggy skin around your stomach that not only serves as an unpleasant, constant reminder of your former excess weight, but poses a real health risk. In this kind of situation, a tummy tuck could make a lot of sense.
