Many plastic surgeons push these incision locations on their patients, as they are the most straightforward and easy to do. However, especially with the […]
If you’ve had children or lost a good deal of weight, odds are your abdomen isn’t what it once was. Loose skin and a little pooch — that’s the usual situation. Why?
