A member asked:

Is it possible to tighten ones inguinal ligament, to overcome the "old man basketball" shape of the lower abdomen?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not Avise do exercis: That type of surgery will not accomplish your problem. Exercise with muscle toning could help. This will strengthen the abdominal muscles and give you a better appearance.
