Many women get a big shock after they have given birth, and for a lot it takes more than a bit of time spent in the gym and the odd seaweed wrap to fall in love with their post-pregnancy bodies, and that is one of the reasons why many choose to undergo cosmetic surgery procedures and non-surgical treatments. When it comes to altering, improving or rejuvenating looks, women off the modern day have more choices than ever before, whether it is something as simple as colouring hair or fake tanning, or it is something as complex as liposuction and tummy tucks, if there is something a person wants to change about themselves, chances are they will have the opportunity to do so.
Here we look at some of the most popular post-pregnancy procedures being chosen by women in the UK, and talk about the sorts of results that can be achieved. Probably the most sought-after combination of plastic surgery procedures in women after childbirth is liposuction and tummy tuck surgery. Liposuction, also known as fat removal surgery, is performed first to remove the build up of excess fatty tissue that can be almost impossible to shift following childbirth. A surgeon will make a small incision in the area being treated before inserting a cannula (a thin plastic tube), the other end is attached to a powerful suction machine. Excess fat is then sucked out of the body and other fat repositioned to achieve the pre-agreed desired look and the excess skin that is then left over is tightened and removed using tummy tuck surgery.
Other popular procedures include stretch mark laser treatment, Botox and breast uplift, reduction or augmentation surgery. The first of these is popular as stretch marks are extremely common among pregnant women. They occur when the skin is stretched quickly beyond its natural elasticity and the skin is essentially torn, leaving silvery scars on the abdomen, thighs, hips and other areas of the body. Fractional laser light can be used to break down the scar tissue and encourage the growth of new tissue - the results are smoother skin with reduced visibility of scarring and a more even tone.
After pregnancy, breast uplift and augmentation can help to fill out breasts that have lost some of their fullness and natural support, and these are therefore popular procedures with women after they have given birth. This surgery can help to bring back self-confidence that can be lost when a woman's body is changed as the result of childbirth.
