Because of the changes in anatomy that pregnancy causes, Tummy Tuck is the only effective option for most mommies
Hi there-
When a woman experiences pregnancy, as the baby grows within her uterus, the pressure from within (often) causes stretching of the tissues of the abdominal wall. Because the abdominal wall is composed of both muscles and connective tissue, these tissues do not tolerate this stretching equally...
After the baby is born and you return to your pre-baby weight, the muscles may try to return to their previous positions, but because the connective tissues have (usually) been torn...

A tummy tuck is the best option.
Sorry to tell you , but nothing tightens skin other than surgery. Some people would have you believe that a laser liposuction will work, but, if you have had three kids, and your weight seemd normal, then the only way to tighten your skin ( and underlying muscles which have become stretched out) is surgery. Not all scars are bad and after surgery you can wear a bikini which covers the scar. You should come in and look at some of the photos.

Best option for stomach tightening
Sit ups are the best option to tighten your stomach without surgery. It will tighten the core muscles but will not tighten skin.
If you have loose skin, surgery is the only option. If your muscles are very stretched, surgery can sew them back together in the midline, the way they probably were before the children.
