Plastic Surgery - ab workout vs tummy tuck


Expert: Gurmander Singh Kohli - 9/16/2008

Question
I had twins about 5 years ago, I have dieted and started losing weight now 5 years later I regained the weight and  have tried several diets excercise and see very little results,I seriously considered tummy tuck mainly because of the stretching with my twins.  what I want to know does the stretching of the skin with twins on your lower stomach will it go back with ab workouts or is the only alternative to a flat belly a tummy tuck.

Answer
With exercises such as 'ab workouts' only the muscles will tone up. To get rid of the stretched skin that has not returned to normal after 6 months to a year after delivery is very unlikely to resolve by itself. It is only with a tummy tuck that you will be able to have a flat abdomen like you had before the pregnancies.
