Loose skin after c section
My wife delivered our baby 2 months 10 days ago via c section. Stitches healed but looks like her lower abdomen is swollen from outside and a loose skin pouch is formed.
When will it be healed and what should be done ?
extra loose skin will go away on its own or will it last life long ?

Please consult a Gynaecologist in your area who can advise her regarding the physical activity to tone up her abdominal muscles. That is the only method to tone up the abdomen and the loose skin will disappear.

It's not loose skin
It's the fat
Usually there is some fibrosis at the scar
So the skinn over it doesn't have much fat any then fast accumulated above it pouches out
Fibrosis will remain logged long
All her to lose some weight that will decrease the size of the pouch
