The abdomen can become flabby for very different reasons. Let’s talk about them in more detail.

Your belly can sag for several reasons.:
drastic weight loss,
pregnancy,
chronic stress.
After childbirth, the abdomen may sag due to the fact that the skin cannot cope with overstretching, the skin tone cannot withstand such a load, so this situation occurs. If the newly-made mother had a cesarean section and a welded scar remains there, then the skin can hang over the tooth in the form of a balcony, in this regard, the effect of a sagging abdomen is created.
Also, during pregnancy or weight gain, the abdominal muscles are stretched and diastasis may appear, which can also lead to the fact that the abdomen becomes large, voluminous, and no sports and physical activity help. At this time, plastic surgery comes to the rescue: diastasis can be sutured, abdominal muscles too, excess skin is removed, after the operation a flat and beautiful belly appears again.
Chronic stress can also cause sagging abdominal skin. When a person is nervous, their body releases the stress hormone cortisol, which can suppress the immune system. Due to the long stay of a person in a stressful state, the volume of visceral fat increases.
If you want to lose weight with minimal “excess skin”, then you need to do it at a young age (with age, the skin turgor worsens) and in the right way: not abruptly, but harmoniously, with sports and proper nutrition.
