Tummy Tuck Surgery For New Moms

Do you have any idea what happens to your body when you have a baby

? If you're a new mom, you may not know what to expect. Here's a vague idea: Your shoes don't fit anymore, you develop milk pockets in strange places where you don't want them, and your belly turns into a big, flabby mess.

Doctors say that your body gets back to normal in 6 months, but many women are shocked to find that the belly doesn't snap back! You have to get back into an exercise routine and start watching what you eat again. And for many women, this surgery helps get that flat stomach back again.

Tummy tuck is gaining popularity among young mothers who find that getting back into shape isn't as easy as they'd thought. The problem is that you've got more than fat to deal with - carrying a baby stretches out EVERYTHING, including skin and tissue. That skin and tissue doesn't go away with diet and exercise.

How A Tummy Tuck Can Help

The real name of tummy tuck surgery is "abdominoplasty." This is a procedure that doctors have been doing for many years. The goal of abdominoplasty is to fix a flabby belly, and also to help contour your body. With computer imaging, doctors can help you decide how you'd like your belly to compliment your body.

Abdominoplasty involves removing fat, loose skin and other tissue that isn't lost easily through diet and exercise. They may also tighten the rectus muscles of the abdomen to help tissue from sagging again. The result is a flat belly that looks natural. They can also readjust your belly button to make it look just like it did pre-baby.

Recovering From An Abdominoplasty

It's very important that you get healed properly. If your scars don't heal well, you may need another operation to fix the scars. This means more money and more hassle. This is why recovery is such an essential step.

A little numbness and discomfort is natural during recovery, but there shouldn't be any pain. Tummy tuck surgery is one of plastic surgery's easiest operations, so you shouldn't experience much pain. Take care of your scars as directed by your physician. Keep them moisturized and don't let them dry out. This will ensure that they heal right and also will be less visible. If there's anything that doesn't look right, or if you start to experience pain, call your doctor.

After having your body stretched to the limit by carrying a baby, you'll want to get your body back into shape. When you look at that little baby, it's amazing to think that it was INSIDE you all that time. Diet, exercise and tummy tuck surgery can help get your old body back.
