Liposuction after Pregnancy
Many women can feel distressed by the physical changes that alter their bodies when they are pregnant. This distress can increase the more pregnancies a woman has.
To get rid of fatty deposits under the skin that exercise and diet refuse to improve, liposuction is a surgical procedure that provides a solution.
What is liposuction?
Liposuction is performed using a thin metal tube (cannula), which is inserted underneath the skin to ‘vacuum’ localised fat away from particular irregular contours on the body, in areas such as the abdomen, thighs, hips and buttocks.
Is liposuction preferable to a tummy tuck after pregnancy?
Because there is no removal of skin, just a removal of fat, this surgery is often preferable to a tummy tuck for post partum women.
Other reasons to choose liposuction over a tummy tuck after pregnancy include:
- It is a safer procedure
- There are fewer health risks involved
- There less physical discomfort afterwards
- Scars are less evident on the body
- The recovery time period is much shorter (than it is for a tummy tuck)
What about exercising instead?
After childbirth many women find that fitting exercise into their daily routines is not easy, and sometimes near impossible, simply because they are so busy. Also, after giving birth, many women have a slower metabolic rate. As a result, losing fat in specific areas of the body becomes increasingly difficult.
Are there any other benefits?
By helping to restore a woman’s figure by getting rid of unsightly fatty deposits, liposuction can give her a boost psychologically – increasing self-esteem and self-confidence.
