Loss of muscle tone: During a c-section, the long muscles of the abdominal wall are cut by incision. By cutting the muscles, nerves to the muscles can be damaged leading to atrophy of the muscles. Repair of the incision involves sutures. The surgical repair of the incisions can only approximated 80-90% of the original strength of the original tissues. Thus over time the wall may bulge or herniate.

Tissue laxity: 1. Skin stretch from pregnancy, combined with 2. Abdominal wall / muscle laxity. A tummy tuck can fix both of those issues!
