Tummy tuck. : Sometimes surgery really is the only way to get rid of extra loose skin after pregnancy the way you are describing. You need to be evaluated by a board certified plastic surgeon to determine if a tummy tuck is necessary or if liposuction can suffice.

No magic tightening: Wand is available because if it were we would not wave to do face lifts, eye lifts, tummy tucks, (witch hazel) breast lifts or body lifts. A tummy cm which can address loose skin, separated muscles and localized hip fat is your best option for maximal correction.

Seek Help: These areas may be very stubborn after pregnancy. Sometimes patients, who reach a plateau in their efforts, benefit from help from personal trainers and/or nutritionists. If despite best efforts, still not happy ( and have completed pregnancies and reached a long-term stable weight) plastic surgical body contouring operations (e.g.Tummy tuck) may be indicated. Best wishes.
