Star Magazine surmises that Angelina Jolie had what she likes to term a "mommy tuck" after recently giving birth. From their story, "Sources tell Star that the 33-year-old actress fretted over the size of her stomach while she was pregnant with Knox and Vivienne. "She doesn't like to talk about it or admit it, but Angie told some friends that she had a 'mommy tuck,' " says a family insider. "She likes the way that sounds better than tummy tuck." "
It's common to have loose skin after delivery, but it may be wise to wait at least 6 months to see how the body will recover from being distended.

Of course she had a tummy tuck! Have you ever looked closely at the stomach of a woman who gave birth to a child the same year? Let alone one who gave birth to twins, stretching the abdominal muscles even further? *****Here is the reality: pregnancy stretches the rectus abdominus, which is a paired muscle that runs vertically from the pubic to torso region. These muscles are separated by a connective tissue (linea alba) that is stretched (sometimes split) in pregnancy. It does not return to former size, and therefore, the paired abdominal muscles are never pulled tight again. That is why all mothers have a protruding belly that won’t disappear, no matter how many crunches are piled on top the aerobic workouts! *****TUMMY TUCK, or abdominoplasty, pulls the two paired rectus abdominus muscles back together. It also removes the sagging stretched skin, pulling down skin from the torso to create a new, smooth tummy (with new doctor made belly button to replace the post-pregnancy stretched belly button). *****After birthing twins, there is absolutely NO WAY Angelina could have worn that skin tight dress UNLESS she had the abdominoplasty! Her abdominals were absolutely, totally flat … and that is humanly impossible for someone who just delivered a few months back! *****BUT GOOD FOR HER FOR DOING WHAT WAS NECESSARY TO GET HER BODY BACK! It is a shame that so many women are forced to go through life feeling lousy about themselves due to the changed body of motherhood. Tummy tucks should be part of the birthing process. GYN doctors should be trained in the plastic surgeon methods of tightening the muscles and closing the wound. Mothers should be returned to their former physical self. ***** After having two children, I returned to my exercise routine of running 5 miles a day, along with weights, pillates, crunches, etc. After ten years, I realized the ‘mommy tummy’ was never going to respond to exercise. I saved for three years money to afford the tummy tuck. WOW was I happy! I had my flat tummy back again and immediately felt like myself again! **** It is terrible that people hide this operation, equating it to vanity. It's not. Correcting the abdominal muscles not only affects a woman's sense of identity, but also her self-esteem, and her physical health. Sagging stretched abdominal muscles puts heavy strain on the back muscles, while also leaving little support for the interior organs. Woman should talk openly about it, letting other women know that this is an outcome of pregnancy. The majority of women DON'T know. They become frustrated and eventually give up on trying to look like their former selves. If they KNEW, if they were allowed the corrective surgery as part of the birthing process (once done bearing children), more women would continue lifelong exercise. I already explained to my daughter that this is something she'll need to have done someday. And I told my son to make sure he allows his wife to have this operation! ***** Unfortunately, medical treatment is still based on male definitions of ‘necessary’. If men also endured changed body figuration due to parenthood, we’d have had plastic surgeons in the birthing rooms long ago!

Joannie brights forth a lot of points. For me, the answer is simply yes. She did give birth and managed to have a flat stomach in mere months, but not by just working out. She did receive a tummy tuck, and the surgeon who performed it did a great job. Her stomach looked perfectly flat when she was out wearing a form fitting dress. That doesn't just happen overnight.

If she did some surgery after her birth I think that is because it is important for her career being an actress.

I think she did. If she had the abdominalplasty done right (as it looks like it did), then she looks and feels great on her own terms. When you're that successful, it's totally worth getting it done: Especially when your looks are part of the basis of your stardom.

If you look at the area of her face between he jaw line and ears this portion has been blended in Photoshop - you can tell as there is more pixelation on the rest of the image. The 'unusual marks' are a slip with the mouse/graphic pen.

A tummy tuck wouldn't be surprising. But if she didn't get one, there's one thing I'm pretty sure of. She does get a facelift on a regular basis.

I really don't care if she did or not. It's a personal choice. I'm planning to have my own surgery, a tummy tuck, in Beverly Hills this spring. I actually can't wait for it!
