Motherhood is a milestone in every woman’s life. The lengthy ordeal that it is delivers a bundle of joy for the mother to take care of and cherish. But the road there was not an easy one, not by a mile.
And even much time after the baby has popped out and it’s safely into mom’s arms, the belly doesn’t go away.
Or, it does somehow, your pregnant belly goes from ballooning to bust without its dearly beloved former resident. The leftover post-pregnancy paunch is a stubborn reminder of the pregnancy that mothers would rather not have.
But there it is, and where it will likely be for a long time unless you do something about it. There are many diets and exercise routines that promise to eliminate your post-pregnancy paunch. The problem is that mothers fresh out the wonderful, yet, demanding experience that childbirth is don’t have time.
The baby requires so much attention that it would be challenging finding the time to schedule any routine care. Luckily, cosmetic surgeons known all of this too well and readily offer a set of cosmetic procedures to take care of it.
Eliminate Your Post-Pregnancy Paunch with Surgery
As a solution for your beloved but unwanted post-pregnancy pouch, cosmetic surgeons offer, not one, but two procedures.
Both liposuction and a tummy tuck are the answer if a permanent solution for your post-pregnancy pouch is what you seek.
They individually target the abdomen with different approaches that notably change its look. Both leave a flatter, more toned, tight and defined look which would put in doubt if you ever were pregnant, to begin with.
Their strengths are complementary to one another. Thus, many surgeons package them together for patients, including post-pregnancy paunch-afflicted mothers.
Liposuction
By placing incisions near the selected areas to extract fat from, the surgeon proceeds to insert a hollow tube through them. The tube, called a ‘cannula’, vacuums the fat out, leaving just enough for the surgeon to mould into an attractive shape. The procedure repeats in as many areas as requested previously by the patient.
Tummy Tuck
In contrast, in the tummy tuck, the surgeon makes an incision running across from hip to hip over your pubic hairline. From the said incision, they proceed to remove the excess of skin and tissue from the abdominal area.
Once completed the excision, the surgeon then lifts the layer of skin covering the abdominal muscles. With the use of suturing, the surgeon brings together the abdominal muscles broken apart by the baby bump.
Once concluded the suturing, the surgeon closes the incision, and the procedure concludes.
Liposuction & Tummy Tuck, The Post-Pregnancy Paunch’s Bane
The combination of both procedures results in the ideal answer to the challenges of a post-pregnancy paunch. The liposuction gets rid of pockets of fat while the tummy tuck tightens the abdomen leaving it in a state likely not seen since adolescence.
The joint performance of liposuction and tummy tuck is the winning combo against a post-pregnancy paunch.
