I’ve received so many questions about extra skin after baby. Many moms want to know “will the extra skin ever go away?” The answer is two-fold. First you need to assess whether it’s skin or fat or a combo of both. Now if it’s fat the folds are thick and if it’s skin the folds are thinner and there’s usually more of them. The benefits of body fat is you can work on your diet and exercise and lose body fat which will reduce the roll. Now if you’ve lost the body fat and it’s strictly skin it will typically decrease in size a few months after having your baby. However, if you gained alot of weight during your pregnancy and or had multiples then lost a lot of weight the extra skin may never go away. In this case the only way to reduce the extra skin is through surgery. A few of my clients have had the surgery and were extremely pleased with their result both emotionally and physically.
