Tummy tuck: This is very common following pregnancy. The stretched abdominal skin often does not improve with diet and exercise. A tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) removes the excess skin and tightens the abdominal wall muscles to restore the appearance of your abdomen.

Skin laxity?: Give yourself time! the skin might regain some tone over time. The pregnancy process causes a lot of stretch in the skin and separates the rectus muscles. Diet and exercise cannot correct all of this. Once one has completed their family, an abdominoplasty might be beneficial to rid one of the skin excess and bring the muscles back together.

Tummy tuck: What you're speaking about are post pregnancy changes. They are usually accompanied with sagging skin abdominal laxity and small pooch that is felt in the mid or upper abdomen. This is usually due to a rectus diastasis which is a loosening of the stomach muscles. All if these can be remedied by a tummy tuck which is an outpatient procedure which is most commonly done post pregnancy.

Lax skin removal: Your body shape is likely due to a combination of loose skin, separated muscles, and undesirable localized fatty deposits which are best treated by body contouring procedures such as a tummy tuck or even a belt lipectomy with muscle repair. The extent of the surgery will vary with the extent of laxity and varies greatly from one individual to another.
