I am pretty content with the way my stomach looks. After my first 2 I never had any issues losing weight and getting back into shape. With my daughter, it left me with mommy apron when I bend over. Laying flat I look fine. Standing straight I look great.. Bending over is a wrinkly mess. I have read and researched and I am finding most women say that it never goes away. Is there any procedure that takes it away??
Answer: Mini tummy tuck Dear atomic87, it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.

Answer: Am I a candidate? An in person evaluation is always best, but you may be a candidate for a mini tummy tuck. It will address the loose skin below your belly button, but it is important to discuss with a board certified plastic surgeon what it can and cannot do. Together you can determine the approach that is best for you. I've included a video that I hope you find helpful.

Answer: Abdomen Alhough your photos are limited, you might do well with a mini tuck to remove the excess skin. I would suggest meeting with a board certified plastic surgeon, being examined, and discussing your options.

Answer: Mini tummy tuck - Will it get rid of apron when bending over? (photos) Would recommend that you consider a short-scar TT. A short-scar tummy tuck is right for patients who have loose skin, residual fat, and drooping muscle tissue in the abdominal area. Ideal patients have to be in general good health and somewhere close to their ideal body weight. A healthy lifestyle is a must, both before and after the procedure. To make sure that the results of the procedure last, many doctors ask that patients maintain a steady body weight for six months prior to the procedure and maintain their weight after the procedure. The recovery period for a short-scar tummy tuck is shorter than that of a traditional tummy tuck. Generally, patients require only one or two weeks to recover before returning to work. Patients are advised not to perform strenuous exercises for four to six weeks after the surgery. Kenneth Hughes, MD, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon Los Angeles, CA

Answer: Mini tummy tuck for loose skin only in lower abdomen It looks like you could get a significant improvement with a mini tummy tuck, but whether it will meet your expectations is another question. If you can truly accept no improvement in the appearance of loose skin in the upper abdomen and around the belly button, then you might be a candidate for a mini.
