Tucking Your Tummy
Tummy tucks are very popular among moms who are finished having children, says Reed. "There is a marginal scar that is like one-half the size of Cesarean-section scar, there is minimal downtime, it looks good right away," he says. In fact, abdominoplasties or tummy tucks were among the top five cosmetic surgical procedures performed in 2006, according to statistics from the ASAPS. Simply stated, a tummy tuck involves removing excess skin and fat from the abdomen and to tighten the muscles of the abdominal wall. "You can't use your abs for six weeks, but can do everything else," he says.
