Options other than a tummy tuck?

  Loving yourself and recognizing that you are more than a flat tummy. 3 c/s later, baby weight gone, I love myself just the way I am and feel beautiful in my skin knowing I'm a good mother.

   I go to the gym daily and am noticing 19 mos later that things are improving each week.

  It's never going to be perfect, but try to get past it.

  Anybody ever research options other than a TT, baby weight is long gone  but this skin is so depressing. TIA!

   

  hydration and body scrubs/exfoliation is what helped me after my first c-section.  I also had to focus super hard on the exercises I was doing for my hips, lower back, and abs...that helped to firm up the skin I had around my tummy area as well. 

  Now that I am preggers again, I rub my belly, back, and sides with a concoction of castor oil, jojoba oil, and coco butter to keep my skin soft and elastic for afterwards when I am losing the baby weight, my skin will not sag as much.

  I carried twins full term and my abdominal muscles are still seperated, even 2 years later. The doctor told me reconstructive surgery is the only fix but it isn't even a definite since the muscles are damaged. I'm otherwise active and a runner so I try and keep everything else really toned, then I don't feel as self conscious.

  Call it the best battle wound you will ever have. Don't worry, I'm always told I see it worse than it is :-)
