11 Jul Reclaim Your Pre-Pregnancy Belly with a Mommy Makeover
While giving birth to an adorable baby brings forth a wonderful feeling of motherhood, the pregnancy aftermath – particularly the post-pregnancy belly – is a worry for many women. The stretch marks and loose, saggy skin can be frustrating and may get more depressing when diet and exercise don’t seem to work. Many women don’t understand that some of these underlying problems cannot be fixed by natural methods, which is why a Mommy Makeover could be the best solution for you.
What is a Mommy Makeover?
A Mommy Makeover is a combination of surgical and non-surgical procedures focusing mainly on the breast and tummy areas to restore your body to the beautiful appearance it had before pregnancy. Here we take an in-depth look at two procedures specifically for the post pregnancy belly – tummy tuck and liposuction.
Tummy Tuck Variations
There are two types of tummy tucks – mini abdominoplasty and full abdominoplasty. Mini abdominoplasty is the procedure for you if you have fat deposits specifically below the navel area. We get rid of the fat below the navel and tighten the muscles in that region. Full abdominoplasty shapes the skin, tissues, and muscles as needed in the entire abdomen area and requires a cut from hipbone to hipbone while moving your belly button. You may need drainage tubes under your skin for a few days.
Liposuction
Liposuction surgery uses small narrow tubes that are carefully placed under the skin to remove stubborn fat cells by suction.This technique is aimed at reducing your waist circumference or other trouble areas. Plastic surgeons can remove nearly all the fat in a person’s problem areas and leave a smooth skin contour behind.
