Do I have to have a tummy tuck? Is there any other way to get my stomach flat and tighten the skin? (Photo)

Asked By:Lesleykc

So I am 20 years old and had my first child in May 2023. I'm 3 months post partum and my stomach currently looks like this. I'm wondering if there is anyway to get my stomach flat and skin tighten without having to do a tummy tuck? I know if I don't do a tummy tuck there will be loose skin but I do plan on having more children in the future and heard you should only do a tummy tuck if you don't plan on having more children. What is the best option outside of a tummy tuck?
