Question 1

what can i do post-pregnancy to get rid of the loose skin around my stomach?

Accepted Answer

Tummy tuck: Some skin retraction will occur during the first six months after pregnancy however, after that, the only way to remove the remaining extra skin is with a tummy tuck.  Before considering a tummy tuck make sure that you have completed your family since another pregnancy will stretch everything out again.

I : I am afraid that endermologie will do little to help your skin shrink or to lose fat in that area.

Question 3

Loose Skin: No, your body will not return to its pre-pregnancy body. There are other non-surgical options such as skin tightening and coolsculpting. Also, try to keep up with healthy eating habits and daily exercise if possible.

Question 4

No easy fix: Traditionally a abdominoplasty, tummy tuck is used to remove excess skin. However there ia a scar usually under the panty line. There are lasers and other devices that may firm the skin a little but if you have alot of stretch marks then usually tummy tuck is the answer. You need to be evaluated by a board certified  plastic surgeon.

Question 5

what can i do to get rid of the loose skin on my belly?

Accepted Answer

Magic wand: Unfortunately there is no way to effectively tighten skin, otherwise we would not have to perform tummy tucks, (witch hazel) face lifts, breast lifts, body lifts, etc. While there are a few technologies that can provide mild degrees of skin contraction it is not usually sufficient to achieve noticeable correction without risk

Question 6

how to get rid of post pregnancy stretch marks on breast abdomen and thighs naturally?

Accepted Answer

"stretch marks" ?'s: Post-pregnancy stretch marks are caused by damage to the skin's underlying elastic layer, and are not removed by "natural means", but require a form of plastic surgery (which can also cause scarring), so there is little one can do to remove them.

Stretch : Stretch marks are difficult if not impossible to treat effectively. The dermis (inner layer of skin)has permanently been damaged and no effective treatment has been proven to repair this tissue.

Question 8

how do i get rid of loose skin around my stomach?

Accepted Answer

Tummy tuck?: Some tightening of skin will occur naturally after weight loss or pregnancy; in younger patients more than in older patients. If this is not enough, the excess skin can be surgically removed. Unfortunately, this results in a scar very low across the abdomen, but the scar can be hidden in many outfits that would reveal the loose skin. No other good options exist unless the amount is tiny.

Question 9

how do i get rid of  loose skin on my stomach area?

Accepted Answer

Tuck: The only way of getting rid of loose skin to remove it surgically.  Those procedures are known collectively as tucks (witch hazel).  The tummy tuck is probably the most common and effective.  Some lasers will tighten skin but only a little bit.
