I am 33 years old. I have been pregnant 3 times in 12 years. The first 2 pregnancies were natural births. The last pregnancy was 7 years after the 2nd pregnancy and it was twins. During labor and delivery, I delivered one twin via natural birth and the second 14 minutes later via emergency c-section. I am trying to figure out if I can rebuild my abs or do I have to have a tummy tuck to see results. Would laser lipo be effective? Can I get a flat stomach naturally? I have been been exercising.

Answer: Tummy Tuck versus exercise following multiple pregnancies Thank you for your question. From looking at your photos, it appears you have a fair amount of abdominal skin laxity, as well as muscle separation. If your goal is to achieve a flat stomach and abs again, it is unlikely that exercise alone will help you to achieve this goal. It appears that you may benefit from a Tummy Tuck with Liposuction of adjacent areas, including flanks and hips. My best advice to you is to schedule a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon who will perform a thorough examination and discuss all of your options for meeting your aesthetic goals and wishes.

Answer: Do I need to have a tummy tuck done? Hello Dear, thank you so much for your questions and pictures. After each pregnancy as there is a skin hyperelasticity to carry the baby, at the same time produced irreversible elasticities (only with exercise) of the abdominal muscles,this is why to retrieve the tone and lose the flaccidity of the skin it is advisable to make the Tummy Tuck. This procedure consists in the removal of excess skin and abdominal fat and muscle flaccidity correction. This situation of excess skin and relaxation of the abdominal wall is often in patients who have had weight gain and subsequent loss .Tummy Tuck (Abdominiplasty) get a flatter, firmer abdomenand a narrower waist. Hope hear from you soon, best wishes!!
