Can The Stomach Be Loosened After A Tummy Tuck?

I had a tummy tuck 5 years ago. I went back to my doctor because I could never quite stand completely straight. He said that it would loosen up with time. It hasn't and now I suffer from reflux and constant hot flashes. Is there any way to get the stomach to loosen up. It is totally uncomfortable and I think that the added pressure from tightness is causing the reflux and hot flashes.

Hi. It will be a bit difficult to loosen the stomach due to fibrosis, which is giving you tightness. Reflux can be caused because of this . But not the hot flushes.
