What can i do instead of a tummy tuck?

Lose weight: Not to sound unkind, but weight loss is the only alternative.

Do you exercise?: Try targeted abdominal exercises such as crunches, russian twists, planks, etc/ Be consistent and do your workouts 3-4 times per week. Concentrate on techniquie, rather than speed and number of sets done and you won't have to spend hours in the gym to get the results you desire

Can't determine...: ...without exam, but weight management thru varied exercise and lo-carb diet is always a good idea and suction-assisted lipectomy (liposuction) may have a place.

That depends . . .: A tummy tuck repairs muscle and eliminates excess skin. There's diet, exercise, and other surgical and non-surgical procedures that address fat, excess skin, or muscle repair - but none that addresses all of those concerns and repairs a separated rectus abdominis muscle.
