Why does my stomach look flatter in the morning and it bulges out throughout the day? (Photo)

Asked By:proudof3 in Clifton, NJ

36 have 3 children. Peo often asked if I am preg. I went to a consu. and I was told that I needed a TT because I have DR. She didn't touch me or x-rays so how would she know I have that?I have no scars or stretch mark so I really didn't want huge scar from hip to hip. Do you think she told me this because the tummy tuck might be easier for her to do? Is there anything else I can do to flatten my stomach? And if I do have a muscle separation why do I look so flat at times like in the mornings?
