Dr. Shaw:
The muscles, the rectus muscles, are run alongside and oftentimes there’s a separation, or diastasis, of the rectus muscles. So those are brought together in the midline and bringing in the waist, tightening abdominal muscles and then the skin, as I said before, is brought down giving you a much tighter abdomen, all the excess skin, oftentimes a lot of the stretch marks of the abdomen are removed and a pre-pregnancy abdomen, or tummy, is achieved.
