Your abdominoplasty, or tummy tuck surgery, will be used to remove loose, sagging skin and stretch marks from your midsection. It can also be used to remove small excess deposits of fat and tighten loose abdominal muscles. The end result is a firmer, tighter, more appealing physique.
When you become pregnant, your stomach muscles loosen to provide space for your growing baby. Your skin will stretch and fat will begin to accumulate in your abdomen, both of which are necessary for the health of your child. While necessary for the health of your child, the impact pregnancy has on your body will undo the changes made through abdominoplasty. Due to this, many women choose to wait until after they have finished having children to undergo this particular procedure.
Mommy Makeover
Abdominoplasty is a common part of the mommy makeover procedure. Diet and exercise alone are often insufficient to remove excess fat and skin from the midsection. Even when these methods are mildly effective, your abdominal muscles may be difficult to strengthen after pregnancy.
