As we age, our bodies struggle to “bounce back” like they used to. This is also true for women post-pregnancy.  For some women, the first pregnancy may not have had a significant impact.

Or even the second.  But after the third child, it doesn’t matter how many stomach crunches mom does, she doesn’t see the fat melting away like before.  And she continues to see soft, flabby tissue around her midsection.  That’s when liposuction for women’s stomachs can help finish the job. 

Health.com has an article highlighting eight permanent body changes after pregnancy.  One noticeable change is the widening of the hips.  During pregnancy a woman’s body has to expand to accommodate the new life growing inside.  A mother’s pelvis and hips naturally widen to prepare the body for birth.  And afterward, the mom may never return to her post-pregnancy size.  But she should wait before tossing out those pre-baby jeans!  If a mom regularly exercises and eats right, liposuction may be the answer for a woman’s stomach, hips, and thighs. 

Modern liposuction has improved the entire surgical experience.  The needles are thinner, causing less scarring and recovery time.  The procedure can help remove stubborn fat from the stomach, arms, thighs, and back.  Some people may be surprised that today’s liposuction can also manage fat removal around the neck. 

Liposuction for women’s stomachs can support the post-partum mind-body connection

Finding time to care for a new baby and exercise regularly is a challenge for many Los Angeles mothers.  The effort deserves results.  Although we are not here to recommend specific exercise routines, we do see many of our patients have chosen Pilates. 

This practice is known to develop a mind-body connection.  Focused, strength-building techniques combined with slow, practiced breathwork help reduce stress in the body and mind. 

Well+Good posted an article about how to get back into Pilates after pregnancy.  The article also emphasizes that it’s essential to speak with a personal doctor before taking on any exercise after giving birth.  There can be differences between when it’s okay to go back to a routine depending on whether it was a vaginal birth or a cesarian.

Although liposuction is a great asset to getting the body back to a pre-baby shape, it should not be seen as a way to bypass a healthy eating and exercise routine.  This is not a weight-loss procedure, a person should be within around 30% of their natural weight. 

No mother should feel defeated by fat and flab that is unresponsive to her healthy efforts. Liposuction for women’s stomachs can help remove those stubborn “soft spots.” Every new mom deserves to feel and look her best!
