Abdominoplasty is discussed as if it were about skin, and the skin is only half of it. Beneath it, the two vertical bands of the abdominal wall can separate during pregnancy and stay separated afterward, which is why some women find that no amount of training changes the shape of the midline. Board-certified Dr. Elise Rowan repairs that separation with internal sutures before any skin is removed. It is the part of the operation you cannot see in a photograph and the part that determines whether the result holds. Recovery is significant and restrictions on lifting last several weeks.
