According to WP Health Care News, the significant changes which happen to a woman’s body during pregnancy may leave her lost her confidence and struggle with frustration seeing her appearance. You shouldn’t be ashamed of feeling less than your best if pregnancy took a toll on the body. Listed below are three ways a tummy tuck can help improve the appearance of a post-pregnancy belly.
Treats C-Section Scar
Delivery through a C-section procedure will always leave a scar that runs across your pubic bone, or from your navel to your pubic mound. Oftentimes, it leaves what is referred to as a “pouch”. By undergoing a tummy tuck a few months after birth can soften the scar, and flatten that “pouch”, making your stomach look as unblemished as possible. The treatment can be also applied to some abdominal scars from other surgeries.
Removes Skin Excess
Your stomach’s skin can lose elasticity and sag after giving birth. Unfortunately, if this happens in any way, your diet and exercise plan cannot restore back to the way it was. But with a tummy tuck procedure, the skin is stretched and what you don’t need is removed, to smooth out folds and create a firm appearance.
This will flatten your belly, even if you have boils behind you, and your body will look like it did before you went in.
Tightens Abdominal Muscles
Just as it affects your skin, pregnancy can weaken your abdominal muscles. They can look thicker and shinier than you’re used to, causing your belly to lose definition. Tummy tucks surgically tighten the muscles helping your belly look thinner and more even.
And if stretched muscles have caused a posture problem after giving birth, tightening them can help you lean back, too!
