Stubborn Fat and Loose Belly Skin? Time For A Tummy Tuck, Little Rock Arkansas!
October 16, 2012 - Rhys Branman, MD
Loose skin on the belly does not just go away. Many people have achieved their ideal weight, yet retain excess fat or skin around the torso that simply does not respond to exercise and diet.
