Years ago, 115 lbs to 205 lbs when pregnant. 120 lbs 2 days after delivery. is there truly anything, other than plastic surg, that will tighten skin?

Wit and see: Hopefully you will be in the. Group of people that despite a large pregnancy weight gain, our skin and muscles will retract back to normal as you lose your extra weight. If you find that there is a significant amount of excess skin however, you will likely need a tummy tuck. There is no effective non-surgical way to remove loose excess skin or tighten stretched abdominal muscles.

Not reliably: There are some technologies that may deliver a 10-15% improvement in skin laxity and many currently exist but this is usually inadequate and insufficient to deliver the results that most patients seek and desire.

No: If there is excess skin, nothing will replace direct removal of this skin. Procedures such as tummy tuck surgery, for example may be indicated for patients like yourself who have had significant changes around the time of pregnancy. Seek consultation with board-certified plastic surgeons.
