What is the best procedure/treatment option for saggy skin and diastasis after pregnancy?

June 23, 2015
Asked By:lfinrn10 in Raleigh, NC

I have had 3 children, 2 of which I had polyhydramnios during pregnancy, which caused my stomach to stretch much more than it should have. I have saggy skin and also diastasis. I am physically fit and at a healthy body weight, so I do not feel like I need any fat removal or body sculpting. What is the best course of treatment for these conditions? Are any of the treatments covered by insurance? Can I expect full use of abdominal muscles to return?
