    i don't think so i'm afraid. it's not really your muscle tone, the elasticity in your skin has been stretched and the only way to get it back is to get rid of some of the stretch

    I don't know.

    2 of my SIL's are twins (identical) both had bubs and one has a saggy belly, really saggy like a flap of skin that hangs down and the others stomach couldn't be flatter...so who knows

    I would think that if it saggy skin then there isn't much you can do. It might get a little better over time... skin does repair itself a bit. Maybe you could put on some weight again and fill it out a bit? .

    I too have the same problem - I've just lost 17kgs after two big babies (9pd 12oz and 10pd 9oz) one via c/s, I think c/section scar makes it look worse! A friend of mine told me that if you see your GP and you've had a c/section you can go on the waiting list for a tummy tuck through medicare as it's not classed as cosmetic surgery, it's classed as reconstructive - not sure if you have to of had more than one c/section though - she's had three and is currently on the waiting list. I've also heard you can claim it through medicare if you have PCOS - not sure if its true or not though...
