Richard P. Rand, MD answers: Non-surgical option for protruding belly?

I am a mother of 2 boys (8 and 6) and I am 37 yrs old. I weigh 115 lbs and I am 5'1" and a size 3 on juniors. I am skinny everywhere else except for my stomach. I don't diet and don't exercise either. I am skinny except for my stomach.

Here is a picture of my tummy. I look like I am 4 months pregnant after every meal and I am not. Which non-surgical/non-invasive procedure is best for me? VelaShape or Thermage or something else? Thanks.

No non-surgical treatment will do anything for you and you would be well advised to save your money.  The first thing to do is get a personal trainer and begin a dedicated exercise program and see what you can do.  This is the only worthwhile non-surgical treatment.  Otherwise, you will need a tummy tuck to get a flat tight abdomen.
