I am a mother of 4 children. I had my first child at the age of 16. I was told that because of my young age my skin stretched a lot, hence all the stretch marks. Ever since I have had a lot of loose skin in that area is there anything that I can do to tighten it without surgery???

Answer: How to tighten abdominal skin without surgery? I am a big proponent in this area. It is important to have a consultation from a surgeon experienced in this procedure as many women are not good candidates for it. This is best for individuals with mild to early-moderate skin excess/laxity. It will not treat excess fat (need liposuction). However, for those who are good candidates for this, it is a nice way to go. You will not have the same degree of tightening as with an abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) but if you are against surgery, this may be for you.

Answer: Non Surgical Skin Tightening for the Tummy? Thank you for the question. For patients who present with abdominal wall muscle laxity after pregnancy and/or weight gain/loss, there is no good noninvasive modality to improve their situation. This includes cool sculpting, which targets diet and exercise resistant adipose tissue ( assuming good overlying skin elasticity). Although there are a lot of gimmicks that come and go, there is no good alternative to tummy tuck surgery to remove excess skin/adipose tissue and tighten abdominal wall muscles after pregnancy or weight loss. Be careful: if it sounds too good to be true, it is! Best wishes.
