Plastic Surgery in Denver : Options after Pregnancy
A large number of women seek out plastic surgery from our Denver offices following their childbearing years. Pregnancy can be a wonderful and fulfilling experience, yet it does take a huge toll on a woman’s body. Cosmetic surgery can help your body get back to its pre-pregnancy silhouette, or better.
Physical Changes
Breasts are one of the body areas that change the most due to pregnancy. Not only do many women experience changes in breast size during the pregnancy itself, but the months of breastfeeding following the birth of your newborn can also have an impact. During pregnancy and nursing, the breasts may increase in size quite a bit. However, these changes often don’t last beyond the infant’s weaning. In fact, the opposite may occur: breasts may seem to deflate, losing both volume and firmness from their pre-pregnancy state.
In addition to breast changes, there may be significant changes around the abdominal area as well. Stretch marks are one typical example, but there is also the possibility that the abdominal muscles will be too stretched out to return all the way back to normal, leaving you with a slight paunch. This may worsen with age, becoming more pronounced.
Hormonal changes to the body during pregnancy may also change the way your body holds onto weight and excess fat. After a pregnancy, you may find that you’ve gained weight in ways you didn’t before, or that it is now more challenging to maintain a slim figure. Either way, this can be incredibly frustrating.
Addressing the Problems
For many women, plastic surgery is the only way to return their body to normal. One option is to return the breasts to their younger, higher placement through a breast lift. Denver women who have lost not only the youthful placement of their breasts but also volume may consider breast augmentation as well. Combining these procedures gives you the end result of a higher, fuller profile that is much closer to your pre-pregnancy body.
In the abdominal area, a tummy tuck can tighten lax abdominal muscles that may have separated through your pregnancies. A tummy tuck also removes excess fat and skin that has lingered following a pregnancy and it sculpts the stomach into more pleasing contours.
Liposuction, too, can help slim down the stomach area, though this procedure will not address any underlying musculature issues. If post-pregnancy weight gain has not been resolved through diet and exercise, lipo can also be utilized to slim down your buttock, thighs, upper arms, or anywhere else which seems to be holding onto unsightly fat deposits.
A New You
Pregnancy is an exciting time full of many changes. Once you’re done bearing children, though, there’s no reason you need to continue living with the physical changes those pregnancies have made to your body. Many women come to Campanile Plastic Surgery in Denver for breast augmentation, tummy tucks, lipo, or other procedures so they can feel more positive once again about their post-pregnancy bodies. And why not? Now that you’re a mom, you probably work harder than ever; you absolutely deserve to look your best.
