A flat, smooth abdomen can often be a sign of youth and fitness for both men and women; however, pregnancy-related changes in the body may cause a loss of firmness and tightness in the midsection that’s typically hard to resolve with dieting, exercise, and natural remedies alone. Our renowned board-certified plastic surgeon in NYC understands that these changes to your body contour can be very frustrating and diminish your self-confidence. Fortunately, there are several procedures available to resculpt your body and restore your pre-pregnancy curves with natural-looking, long-term results:
- Tummy Tuck: After pregnancy, your abdomen may be left with a crepey, wrinkled texture or be affected by loose, excess skin. In these situations, a full or mini tummy tuck can be the most effective way to restore a sleek, taut look.
- Liposuction: Liposuction offers selective fat removal that can target pockets of stubborn fat in the flanks, hips, belly, and/or mid-back. These regions are prone to fat buildup during pregnancy, and bulges are commonly seen in the form of “love handles,” “bra bulges,” and “muffin tops.” Dr. Savetsky can help smooth these regions and slim the waistline using advanced, minimally invasive liposuction techniques.
- Mommy Makeover: For more extensive concerns or to improve multiple areas in the same treatment plan, a Mommy Makeover may be the best treatment plan. This option combines more than one procedure in the same surgical plan to address several aesthetic concerns at once. A Mommy Makeover frequently includes both liposuction and a tummy tuck, depending on the nature of each patients’ needs.
In some cases, internal visceral fat may be preventing you from achieving the slim, smooth abdomen you desire. These fat cells differ from stubborn surface fat and are usually not treatable with liposuction techniques alone. That said, beautiful results can still be achieved by combining dieting and exercise with our advanced body contouring treatments.
