The process of pregnancy, including childbirth and breastfeeding, leaves its mark on a woman’s body. Some of the most demanded interventions after pregnancy are breast lift, liposuction or abdominoplasty, among others. It all depends on the part of the body that the patient would like to improve.
What areas are most affected by pregnancy?
The breast is one of the areas most affected during and after pregnancy. The breasts lose firmness and sag, the area is supported by the skin itself, since there are no bones to support it, so you have to keep the pectoral muscle toned. If the patient wants to undergo breast surgery, it is necessary to study her case and, depending on the problem, you can opt for a mastopexy, to put the breasts firm, or, if there is loss of volume, you can opt for an augmentation mammoplasty. By means of mammoplasty an implant is placed, improving firmness and volume.
Another of the discomforts that patients notice are the accumulations of fat in certain areas. In this case many opt for liposuction, which allows a reshaping of the silhouette by removing fat or adipose tissue from various parts of the body using a cannula or syringe connected to a suction machine. This intervention can be performed by ultrasound or laser that help the fat to dissolve previously, so that the extraction is easier. In addition, it can be performed in different areas such as the abdomen, hips and thighs, as well as in more specific areas such as arms, knees, ankles, jowls or face. It must be taken into account that liposuction is by no means a cure for obesity. It is a cosmetic surgery that can remove accumulated fat in unwanted places.
Abdominoplasty is another of the most common procedures performed on patients who have recently become mothers. After pregnancy, the body presents a distension of the abdominal muscles and flaccidity in the skin of the abdomen. In many cases, these changes in the body cannot be solved with physical exercise or diet, so surgery is the only option. This procedure tightens the abdominal muscles, removes excess fat and skin, and results in a flatter, firmer abdomen and a narrower waistline.
