While some women undergo physical changes that are relatively minimal, the strain of pregnancy can leave other women with long-lasting changes that go beyond just aesthetics, causing chronic pain or urinary incontinence.
To help these women, doctors are now investigating the potential medical benefits of “tummy tucks,” or abdominoplasty.
New research from the journal Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery found that a tummy tuck may do more than just make cosmetic changes. It may improve both chronic pain and urinary incontinence.
