Does stomach skin go back to normal after pregnancy?

It really depends on the elasticity of a woman's skin, how much it stretched during her pregnancy, and postpartum weight loss, Pivarnik says. “There are plenty of fit women who don't have tight abdominal skin to start with,” he says.

Post-baby bodies come in all shapes and sizes—that’s something we’ve repeatedly seen in person and on social media. And loose skin, a normal development after giving birth, can stick around no matter how fit you were pre-baby or whether you've resumed your fitness routine after bringing a child into the world. In a new Instagram post, fitness blogger Anna Strode is showing exactly how true that is. Strode, who's mom to 8-month-old twins, posted a side-by-side composite of two photos taken just moments apart. In one photo, Strode is sitting down, the shot focusing on the loose skin on her stomach. In the picture next to it, she's kneeling, her ab muscles on full display. “It's not easy for me to do this,” Strode wrote in the caption. “I promise you as I post this I am no joke absolutely sh*tting myself, but the reason I'm doing this is to show you we're ALL REAL! We all have things we wish we could change, it's easy to get caught up in the perfect world of social media but DON'T! Because behind every image is someone that has things they wish they could change too.” Strode also advises moms to “be proud, be kind, [and] love your body for what it has done. Stretch marks, loose skin, bellies and saggy boobs—embrace it mummas because you are BEAUTIFUL.” Check out the full post below: We often hear about new moms who have excess skin or six-pack abs—but usually not both. But Jim Pivarnik, Ph.D., a professor of kinesiology at Michigan State University who studies the effects of exercise on pregnant women, tells SELF that this combo is probably more common than you’d think. Loose postpartum stomach skin “happens to almost all new moms,” he says. “It’s just a question of degree.” Why does it happen? It really depends on the elasticity of a woman’s skin, how much it stretched during her pregnancy, and postpartum weight loss, Pivarnik says. “There are plenty of fit women who don’t have tight abdominal skin to start with,” he says. That can result in a woman having jacked muscles but excess skin after giving birth, he explains.

How many pounds of loose skin do you lose after weight loss?

Answer: Weight of skin The extra skin does not usually weigh that much. It typically weighs between 3 and 8 pounds.

Your question is very common and understandable.The short answer, as a guess I would say between 2 to 4 pounds depending on how tight the surgeons repairs the muscles and how much he removes. From your photo, it is my opinion that you may benefit from Liposuction of the Back which not only would remove more weight but give the buttocks/Waist a much nicer contour than can be achieved with only an Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck).When performing Tummy Tucks I routinely have the removed skin/fat weighed to be able to tell my patients the exact amount we removed. I also photograph it and share it with them.Good Luck.Peter Aldea, MDMemphis, TN
