Unfortunately, some women have more elasticity to their skin then others. Stretch mark creams don't work for some women for that very reason. You have extra skin because your body doesn't have the ability to "snap back" to it's old shape. You might want to consult with a doctor, but a tummy tuck might be the only answer for you, sorry.

Sometimes no matter how many crunches you do you will have looser skin on your tummy from being pregnant. A lot of how your skin responds to pregnany/weight gain has to do with genetics.... That's what happens when your skin is stretched to it's limits.
Only surgery will fix it completely because skin that has been really stretched won't shrink..

Tummy tuck surgery is very safe nowadays. My cousin got her breast reduction, tummy tuck and facelift surgery in India by the company called Forerunners Healthcare .The Price for the surgery she paid in India was very less. She paid 30% of the cost she was quoted in America.

Forerunners Healthcare is very famous in India. They arrange cosmetic and plastic surgery for foreigners in India. I read a lot about them in the Newspapers and about their patient stories. They arrange financing for USA, Canadian, UK and other international patients who plan to have surgery abroad for low price, as the breast reduction, tummy tuck, facelift and other cosmetic surgery is not covered by insurance. They also have photos pasted of their International patients. You can checkout their website. There are huge cost savings. As a doctor I personally believe that surgery can be easily handled in India, as the quality of healthcare available In India is simply best in the world. The surgeons are USA/UK trained and facilities are 5 star.

Hope this helps.

the stretch marks will fade, not completely, but pretty much, but the baby is still young, give it time!! My son is 3 and mine are faded, but try to think of them as scars to be proud of, you worked hard to birth that baby! and i know he's worth it!!
