I am a thin woman who has had three childbirths and three abdominal
surgeries.  Finally I had an abdominoplasty, which hasn't "held" and
will have to be repeated.  Why would this happen?

Abdominoplasty done September 2003.

"The abdomen should remain firm and flat for many years, unless you
gain a lot of weight or become pregnant. However, over the years, with
the pull of gravity and natural aging process, a second abdominoplasty
may be needed to improve the body contour."

Pinkfreud-ga: Thanks for your comment.  I had read that, also, and
that's why I'm so puzzled as to my situation.  My plastic surgeon is
not very forthcoming.
