What Going To The Gym Can't Fix

What Going To The Gym Can't Fix
For many women, having a baby is one of the most exciting
times in their life, but pregnancy can and usually does
change your body in ways that no amount of diet or exercise
can correct. It is important for women to know what changes
have occurred and which ones they can fix by themselves and
by their own efforts, and which ones will benefit from
other options,such as cosmetic surgery.

The abdomen and breasts are generally the two areas that
are more susceptible to significant changes during
pregnancy but any area of the body can be affected. Many of
the changes that occur with pregnancy can be categorized
under the Post-Baby Body Syndrome, which is experienced by
many pregnant women.

The 3 most common things that working out at the gym can't
fix are: stretched skin, stretched muscles and sagging
breasts

Your Stomach:

Stomach muscles lose their tone after pregnancy because
both the muscles and skin have stretched to accommodate the
baby. When they shrink there may be extra skin remaining
after your pregnancy.

When abdominal muscles become stretched and abdominal skin
becomes loose, no amount of sit-ups will reposition these
muscles, and dieting will not shrink the skin. In many
instances only an Abdominoplasty (or a tummy tuck) can
repair the changes. By repositioning the muscles, removing
excess skin and improving the appearance of the belly
button, a tummy tuck can help you improve and regain the
shape you had. It is recommended that women considering
future pregnancies before deciding to have a tummy tuck
procedure.

Your Breasts:

Another common problem for women is during and after
pregnancy is sagging breasts or breasts that have lost
their shape. This is due to weight fluctuations and
hormonal changes. Despite your best efforts, sometimes the
excess skin and the ligaments simply will not stretch back
to how they were pre-pregnancy. Cosmetic surgery can help
restore your breasts to a more youthful appearing shape.

Breast lift vs. Breast Augmentation:

A breast lift will reposition the nipple and lift the
breast, and improve the shape without changing the size. A
breast augmentation will enlarge the size of the breast,
giving you a magnification of what you already have.

If you are one of the thousands of mothers who have wished
for her old body back, or to even just feel "normal" then
you owe it to yourself to have a consultation with a
board-certified cosmetic surgeon today.
