VerifiedPlastic Surgeon : Thank you for your question. Most people require a full tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) in order to tighten everything appropriately. Occasionally, some people can have a lesser procedure but this can only be ascertained by a physical exam of the abdomen and thighs. I am available if you have more questions.
