Answer: Tummy Tuck Thank you for your questions and photos. A tummy tuck will address excess skin & repair of the abdominal muscle. The abdominal wall can be weakened after pregnancy and (or) significant weight gain & loss. By repairing the muscle, not only does the appearance of your abdominal area improve, but your core strength as well. The repair of the muscle will cinch your waist like an inner corset. I would recommend following up with your surgeon to make sure that the muscle repair hasn't been compromised. Your expectations and health will dictate the best procedure(s) for you. Best of luck!

Answer: Abdomen You might have pulled apart your muscle repair. go back to your surgeon and see if the repair is still holding. Otherwise, you might have some food allergy issues that is causing your colon to swell.
