Reversing the Effects of Pregnancy

Motherhood comes with many joys and the miracle of birth is an incredible experience. However, many women wish that the price of motherhood did not include the changes to their body. Pregnancy can take its toll, especially for women that have had multiple pregnancies. Weight gain and stretched skin can alter the look of the breasts and abdomen, but there are plastic surgery options to reverse many of the effects of pregnancy.

Body Makeovers for Moms

During pregnancy, many women gain 20-30 pounds or more, mostly in their stomach and breasts. This enlargement can permanently change the elasticity of the skin and tissues, even if any excess weight is lost after pregnancy. The stomach may not be as flat or taut as it once was and breasts may sag or change size. Even exercise may not reverse the effects, which is why some women choose to get a body makeover through plastic surgery. This makeover can include:

  • Liposuction to remove excess fat from tummy, hips and thighs
  • A tummy tuck to tighten the abdomen
  • Breast reduction or enhancement
  • Breast lift

Each woman is different and may desire a different combination of procedures to reverse the effects of pregnancy. While it may not be possible to completely revert the body to its pre-pregnancy form, plastic surgery procedures can restore a flatter stomach and perkier breasts.

Motherhood does not mean you need to give up feeling attractive and sexy in your own body. If you are self-conscious of changes caused by pregnancy, consider getting a body makeover to reverse many of the effects of pregnancy. You deserve to feel confident and look your best – consult an experienced plastic surgeon to find out the best option to give you back the body you love.

Top 3 Reasons to Get a Tummy Tuck

Tummy tucks offer a solution to those with sagging skin or disproportionate weight stored in the abdomen region. Obtaining a flatter, more toned stomach is usually the goal, but the reasons for seeking a tummy tuck vary. Both men and women can benefit from this surgical procedure that removes excess skin and fat from the belly. Here are three of the top reasons people seek a tummy tuck from their local plastic surgeon.

Post-Pregnancy

One of the most common reasons for a tummy tuck is loose skin due to pregnancy. Women who have had one or more pregnancy may have difficulty regaining a flat stomach if the skin and tissue does not rebound. Exercise and diet can only help lose fat and tone the muscle underneath; a tummy tuck can remove sagging skin and improve the tone of the stomach area.

Excessive Weight Loss

Both men and women who have lost significant amounts of weight may find their stomach still has excess skin. The only option to regain a flatter, tighter tummy is to remove the stretched skin and tissue. This can help flatten the abdomen and create a more flattering silhouette for those who have worked so hard to lose their excess weight.

Stubborn Abdomen Fat

For some people, the abdomen may be the only place that has excess fat that is resistant to diet and exercise. Liposuction or a tummy tuck can remove excess fat and smooth the tummy when other methods are ineffective.

If you have a tummy region that you want to flatten or excess skin you want removed, talk to an experienced plastic surgeon that offers tummy tuck procedures. It could be the best option to achieve a more svelte waistline and improve your self-confidence in your figure.
