▌Causes of loose abdomen:
The reasons for loose abdomen are 🔸Loose skin surface, that is, the excess skin formed by stretching the belly due to pregnancy after childbirth, the excess skin formed after a large amount of weight loss, large amounts of liposuction, and natural skin aging and relaxation. More or less accompanied by unsightly fat lines or stretch marks.
There is another reason 🔸rectus abdominis fascia relaxation, because the fascia is stretched due to excessive pulling during pregnancy after childbirth, and even the rectus abdominis muscle is separated, which reduces the tension of the abdominal wall, causing the lower abdominal bulge (visceral bulge) and waist thickening originally caused by the outward protrusion of the abdominal cavity.
