Significant weight loss or pregnancy can also cause the skin to sag significantly and, in more serious cases, hang down. No amount of exercise can do anything. A possible alternative is a surgical tummy tuck.

For your tummy tuck, the operating doctor will select a surgical method that is suitable for your body and individual case. There are various gradations between a simple tightening of the subcutaneous fat and a major procedure in which all layers of the abdominal wall are brought back into shape. In some cases, the belly button may also need to be repositioned. In general, incisions are made and excess skin and soft tissue is removed. The skin is then sewn back together, creating the tightening effect.

Swelling and hematomas often occur after the tummy tuck. This is normal and these after-effects will subside after a short time. Loss of sensation, circulatory problems at the navel, skin irregularities and fatty tissue necrosis can also occur.
