The goal in these procedures is to trim away excess sagging skin on the lower stomach. Dr. Kearney also brings separated stomach muscles back to the center and attaches them in their original location, prior to being separated by the localized weight gain and increase in stomach size that comes with pregnancy. Your results will give you the firmer, tighter abdomen you had before pregnancy. In these procedures, Dr. Kearney also usually includes some amount of liposuction to remove unwanted fat pockets.
If you maintain a healthy weight and incorporate exercise into your life, you will enjoy the results from this procedure for the rest of your life. Sure there will be some new sagging as you age — all your tissues become somewhat more lax with the passage of time — but this will start from a much tighter, firmer origination point.
