Can I Have my Abdominal Muscles Tightened Without a Tummy Tuck? (photo)

sexymama82
I'm 30, and have 4 children ages 6 to 16 months. I am 7 lbs. over my pre-pregnant weight, which I got back to with the first three, and was 5 lbs. over when I got pregnant with my 4th. I can lose the weight through exercise and diet, but my abdominal muscles are stretched out. I haven't seen my flat tummy since getting pregnant with my 3rd. Can I have my abdominal muscles tightened without doing a full tummy tuck? I don't want the hip to hip scar. If it's possible, what would that procedure entail?
