Liposuction: Some of the most common procedures to restore your body contour after childbirth would be liposuction or abdominoplasty (tummy tuck). Use the find a surgeon tab at www.Plasticsurgery.Org to find a board\certified plastic surgeon near you.

Abdominoplasty: An abdominoplasty, commonly called a tummy tuck, is a surgical procedure to remove loose, excess skin from the abdominal wall and tighten muscles of the stomach that typically loosen with changes in weight or pregnancy. This is not a substitute for weight loss and is very common to fix a woman's (or man's) "muffin top" or the appearance of the waist after finishing having children.
