Post pregnancy women are faced with belly fat that they never had before. And worst yet, if they do lose the fat, there is the problem of excess skin and sagging which can actually look even worse. Many women are able to begin a work out routine six weeks after delivering and most do shed the excess pounds. However, with each successive pregnancy, the skin elasticity weakens and the abdominal muscles spread making it harder to get that pre pregnancy belly back.
Often women seek in hopes of not only getting back their figure, but in getting back their self esteem. Surgery is a drastic move that needs to be taken seriously. Do your homework to find the right type of fat removal and tummy tightening for you. Laser liposuction is known as the least invasive surgery and leaves minimal scarring, bruising and swelling and also has skin tightening benefits.
But it is only suggested for those with not more than ten to fifteen pounds of fat to lose and for someone who has good skin elasticity. Traditional liposuction is another popular option for those with more fat to lose but still has skin with good elasticity. However, for those who have had multiple pregnancies weakened muscles, excess fat and loose skin tends to respond well to a tummy tuck is an option.
Abdominoplasty is done with an incision in the abdomen from hip bone to hip bone below the belly button and above the pubic bone. A second incision is made around the belly button. The skin and fat flap is lifted to reveal the underlying muscle. The surgeon will pull the muscle closer together and stitch them, providing a firm abdominal wall and subsequently a thinner waistline.
The raised skin is pulled down tight over the muscle back down the public bone incision and the excess skin with fat is cut off. Then the skin flap is stitched back to the original incision at the pubic bone. A new belly button is formed by creating a hole where the underlying belly button is and pulling it through. The surgery takes roughly two to five hours, depending on the amount of fat and skin being removed.
Recovery time is generally two weeks of light activity while wearing a compression garment to reduce swelling. Pain is managed with pain medication. Smoking and sun tanning should be avoided during the recovery period.
