See Plastic Surgeon: You should see a board certified plastic surgeon. Let him/her examine you and tell you about the options. But, on most occasions they will recommend removal of the skin by cutting.

Tummy Tuck: Patients with “baggy skin” after pregnancy and/or weight gains last loss may benefit from tummy tuck surgery.  the “ideal” patient for tummy tuck surgery is one who has completed pregnancies, is psycho socially/emotionally/financially stable,  has an excellent social support system surrounding him/her,  is capable of arranging enough recovery time and who has reached a long-term stable weight.

It depends : Usually what your taking about will require a tummy tuck. There are option such as thermage, coolsculpting, and others that may help. Creams and potions have not proven to be effective, so save your money and go see a plastic surgeon.

Tummy tuck: Really the only answer for this is a tummy tuck. The non-invasive treatments that claim to shrink skin aren't even close...

Body contouring.: Most often to perform body contouring procedures the excess tissue has to be surgically removed. There are some exceptions but they are rare. Seek a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon. Most surgeons would want you to be 1 year out from your delivery prior to surgery.

Skintyte,Lipo,Tuck: The indications for whether a patient needs just some skin tightening, or removing a pocket of fat with liposuction or whether they need an abdominoplasty can best be addressed by consultation with your local plastic surgeon.
