Giving birth to a baby is one of life’s supreme joys. Some women will give birth and immediately begin dieting and exercising to get their old figure back but for other women it is not as easy to return to their old figure. Following child birth many women notice that they have loose and/or flabby skin on and around their stomachs which can become even more noticeable as they begin to lose weight.
In some cases the pouch of extra fat and skin below the belly button won’t flatten out again especially after giving birth to multiple childfren. The muscles, fascia, and skin have been stretched to accommodate the child and even though breastfeeding helps to pull them back into shape sometimes they remain stretched-out. A proper diet and regular exercise will help the situation in many cases but it may not remove all of the extra fat.
For new moms with loose skin and extra fat that has not gone away within six months a tummy tuck may be recommended. Also known as abdominoplasty, a tummy tuck is an elective surgical procedure that removes the excess fat and skin from the abdominal area. As a result the stomach appears as smooth and tight as before giving birth to your baby. If your tummy tuck is performed as part of a mommy makeover the surgeon may perform liposuction to the abdomen and thighs at the time of your procedure.
