Post-pregnancy
Tummy Tucks Surge
in Popularity
Many women who seek a tummy tuck in
Los Angeles do so after pregnancy. Even
after working to lose all their pregnancy
weight, some women retain a bulge in the
abdominal area that no amount of diet or
exercise can diminish. Often, this is caused
by a condition called diastasis recti. This
condition causes the two parallel bands of
muscle in the middle of the stomach to
separate, making a bump in the middle
of the stomach. This condition is more
likely to affect women who have gotten
pregnant after age 35, have a very large
baby, have a multiple birth, or have multiple
pregnancies. For some women, the effects
of diastasis recti may only be present
when their stomach muscles are tightened,
and for others, a physical therapist can
prescribe exercises that will help the bump
go away. For other women, however, the
post-pregnancy bump cannot be fixed this
way, and it becomes embarrassing or even
gets in the way of daily activities. For these
women, having a tummy tuck in Los Angeles
may be the only solution.
Though there are several ways to perform
a tummy tuck in Los Angeles, in the most
common method, a doctor will make a
horizontal cut between the pubic bone and
the navel. Through this cut, the surgeon will
remove excess fat and repair the damaged
muscles. He will then pull the skin more
tautly over the surface, trim away any excess
skin, and if necessary, move and reattach
the belly button. Doctors recommend that
women wait to get a tummy tuck until they
have reached the end of their childbearing
years. Though you will still be able to get
pregnant, a doctor may have to redo the
procedure after another baby.
The post pregnancy tummy tuck in Los
Angeles has become far more popular in
recent years, due in part to the increasing
number of multiple births, the higher
average age of women becoming mothers,
and the higher rate of pregnancy weight
gain. Perhaps the number one reason for
the surge in popularity is the fact that there
is simply no stigma attached. More women
have come to realize that a tummy tuck is
a simple procedure that can increase self-
confidence, improve health, and help get
their pre-pregnancy body back.
