Surgery will give her the best, consistent result

Shahram Salemy, MD answers: Tummy Tuck alternatives?

My wife has had 3 C-sections. Her muscle tone is excellent but she does have loose skin and stretch marks over her rock hard abs. Is there anything besides a $5000+ Tummy Tuck she can do to tighten that skin up?

There are many nonsurgical treatments that claim to tighten the skin, but in a situation like this I think it would be a waste of your money. A tummy tuck performed properly by a Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon is safe, effective and durable (it will last for years).

Look at the surgeon's website to see his before and after photos and find one who can produce the results you're looking for.

Good luck!

A tummy tuck coustomized to her needs is what she requires.  No non-surgical treatments like Thermage or Titan will make any significant difference unfortunately.  Good luck!
