im sure its been gone over before but i didnt really see anything in the quick search i did so here goes....



okay, so ive lost something like 60ish lbs and had 2 children via c-section.

although ive largely escaped stretch marks, im starting to notice little areas of crepey skin and im wondering if anyone knows or can vouch for any specific thing i can do to help get rid of it...or even better...if anyone can tell me that it will just go away on its own...

    Do you mean the belly overhang? By your scar? ... Cause mine's a handful. Grosses me out. Hopefully when I lose weight it'll be less noticeable but I don't think it'll ever go away completely.

    well actually its mostly like a small area on my inner thighs and then a small area on my stomach sorta around my belly button and a little in my armpit area like where a bra would go.

    its not super horrible but its enough that it bothers me so i figured it would be worth a shot to ask...

    i don't know if a tummy tuck could help but i do know ill NEVER be able to afford one so perhaps any other options? lol

    Generally when you lose a LOT of weight (even over a longer period of time) you will have excess skin. There is no magic cream, pill, or product that will make you NOT have loose skin.

    Most people end up getting a tummy tuck or other surgical option, or they learn to deal with it. :(

    There is a skin tightening procedure using a Titan Laser. It is done at most Med Spa's and cost a lot less than a tummy tuck.
