Will The Extra Skin Go Away?

I am 4 weeks postpartum with my twins, and I have a yucky extra flap of skin that just hangs down over the c-section incision. Will it go away or at least diminish somewhat? Or is a tummy tuck the only solution? I am thrilled that I carried my boys 38 weeks and they are big and healthy, just not so thrilled with the prospect of this flap hanging around forever...

Ok you need to understand. Took you 9 months to get it and you need to give your body 9 months to heal slowly,properly and surely. Its also important to be healthy just to get rid of as much fat as you can. I just gave birth 3 weeks ago. I gain 50 pds during my pregnancy and I can say Im lucky I lost 43 of it already. The key is WATER!

Don't you just love the extra skin? Not! Mine went away.. I can't remember exactly when but just give it a little time. Congrats on having your twins! My b/g twins are 17 months and such fun.
