Do I have any other options besides invasive surgery to improve my stomach area? (Photo)

Question

I’m 56 and had twins 18 years ago. This had long bothered me and I would love to find a fix. I exercise a lot, but no matter what I do. This always is horrible. Is there any other options besides invasive surgery mind it doesn’t need to be completely flat, but just to a point where I the exercises I do might make an impact

Camille Cash, MD · Answer

From the submitted photos you appear to be a good candidate for a tummy tuck.  Less invasive options will be of minimal improvement for you.  A tummy tuck however can give you significant improvement by removing excess skin and subcutaneous fat as well as correct abdominal wall laxity.  The result will be a flatter, tighter tummy.  See a board certified plastic surgeon near you to learn more.

From the pictures, the issue is your excess skin with laxity. Your stretch marks sign a tear in the deep layer of the skin , therefore any noninvasive procedure will have little or no effect. Since you weight and muscle tones are excellent, your best option is a tummy tuck (abdominoplasty).
