Abdominoplasty after childbirth

Pregnancy is a time of great change, both for lifestyle and body. Often, despite following a proper and healthy diet and exercise, a woman's body does not get back to its original shape after giving birth. 

There is often excess skin and fat pads on the abdomen, and the abdominal muscles may also become spaced out. During a caesarean section, an unsightly mound of skin may form over the scar. These problems have one thing in common - exercise and lifestyle changes cannot achieve their complete elimination. The only solution is plastic surgery, known as post-baby tummy tuck. 

To begin with, it is important to note that plastic surgery should only be performed after a sufficient period of time has elapsed since giving birth or stopping breastfeeding to ensure that the condition of the breasts and abdomen is stable. In addition, careful consideration should be given to whether to undergo plastic surgery if a woman plans to have another pregnancy or breastfeed, both of which can interfere with the results of the surgery. 

After childbirth, women often face problems such as spacing of the rectus abdominis muscles and excess skin in the abdominal area. An effective solution to this condition is a surgery called abdominoplasty. There is also a less demanding option known as mini-abdominoplasty, which is performed on women with less excess skin and no muscle spacing. Abdominoplasty is often combined with liposuction, in which the fat pads in the abdominal area and on the flanks are suctioned out, allowing a smooth transition between the operated tissue and the surrounding area. 

In order for the results of the surgery to be as long-lasting as possible, the woman needs to continue to exercise, maintain a stable body weight and live a generally healthy lifestyle.
