I've had 2 kids (gained 50 pounds with both and lost the weight each time). I'm back to my weight, very thin, but have lost the elasticity in my skin on my abdomen. Attached is a picture. I have a 3 year old and 1 year old, no help and little money so the option of a tummy tuck is out for me for now. I found a place that is doing Thermage for $900 any area and am going in in a few days to have it done. I was just curious what doctors on here think... will it help? I'll post pics after. Thanks!
