These days, moms are expected to do more, in less time, while still handling a whole host of daily problems. And don’t even get us started on the demands moms put on themselves. Given all of the pressure, the constraints, the stress… it’s no wonder that maintaining, toning and exercising our bodies tumbles down our priority lists.
Given all of the many hurdles obstructing your path to the perfect you, maybe it’s time to admit that a little help could be just what the doctor ordered. If you find yourself covering up rather than exposing yourself to new things, maybe a subtle – but very noticeable – positive change in your appearance might not only change the way you look but also the way you look at yourself.
The Safe Way to Slim Your Waist
If you’re recovering from a relatively recent pregnancy, or if you’ve lost a substantial amount of weight, you may have noticed that your core muscles have weakened noticeably or that the skin around your midsection has lost elasticity.
Referred to by doctors as an abdominoplasty, a tummy tuck is a cosmetic procedure plastic surgeons use to help flatten the abdominal wall and streamline the waist. The results can be amazing, including a sculpted, tight abdomen.
How are these amazing results achieved? By removing any sagging skin while also tightening and repairing loose muscle tissue in the abdominal area. As an added bonus, tummy tucks can also help remove pesky stretch marks.
The tummy tuck procedure involves an incision just above the pubic region, which results in a thin scar. The incision length will vary based on how much skin must be removed. Sometimes, an extra incision must be made near the navel to remove excess skin. However, the belly button position will remain unchanged.
If you feel despondent when checking out your profile in the mirror due to a protruding tummy, an abdominoplasty may be right for you!
The Lift Procedure That Can Elevate Your Self-Confidence
When it comes to our breasts, gravity is not our friend. If you’ve recently put in the hard work to lose significant weight, you may have been disappointed that your chest is droopier than anticipated. And don’t even start with the after-effects of pregnancy and breastfeeding, not only on the size and shape of your breasts and the texture of your skin but also on the size of your areolas.
If you long for the youthful shape and firmness of your breasts, a breast lift (also referred to as a mastopexy) can surgically raise and reshape your breasts while also reducing the size of areolas. A breast lift can be done as a stand-alone procedure or in combination with any number of additional surgeries, such as the aforementioned tummy tuck and breast augmentation.
