A member asked:
Can my obgyn re-tie my stomach muscles during a c-section a little bit to reduce some skin sagging without a plastic surgeon?

Probably not: Most ob/gyns do not perform cosmetic surgical procedures, and you will probably need to see a plastic surgeon if you are concerned, and if exercise doesn't help with the situation.

No: A C-section is about delivering a baby and not cosmetic surgery. Tightening of the abdominal muscles can be done later and should be performed by a plastic surgeon.
