Possible to Fix Baggy Stomach Skin Without Muscle Repair?

July 9, 2009
Asked By:parson3 in North Versailles, PA

I have abdominal separation and umibilical hernia, but I am more concerned about baggy skin on my stomach. I want it removed without getting my muscles fixed to decrease my down time. Is this possible? Would it be worth it?
