embarrassing questions

Most saggy things are not gonna just perk up on their own. There are exercises you can do to tone certain muscles, which might help a little, but exercise can't fit the skin, just the muscles under the skin.
Now, if something is sagging because it's heavy because there's lots of fat there, losing that fat might make it kind of shrink up some. But the skin may be stretched out there and that may not go back to normal.

If you just have extra fat there and it does not actually hang down much, it might bounce back on its own. Some women find that the fat in that area is hard to completely get rid of and end up having lipo to get rid of it.

The second surgeon was not at all concerned about cutting it because of the large number of veins in the pelvis that could pick up the slack if necessary.
