Tummy Tuck Surgery After Pregnancy or Weight Loss
After pregnancy or weight loss, most women have excess skin of the abdominal wall, with stretch marks and flank fat. The "6-pack" rectus muscles drift to the sides, causing the abdomen to pouch forward, weakening support for the spine. Poor posture and low back pain are so common after pregnancy.
Abdominoplasties, or tummy tucks, are a "two for one" procedure. There's medical, as well as cosmetic, benefits. These procedures improve the appearance of the abdomen by removing excess skin and fat and by tightening the muscles. When the rectus muscles are brought back together, the front of the spine is stabilized, causing you to stand up straighter. Often, low back pain is relieved.
Recovery After a Tummy Tuck
While tummy tucks are most often performed as an outpatient procedure, you'll have drains in and there definitely will be some pain for a few days. You’ll be out of work for over 2 weeks and out of the gym for a month. But once you get back to an exercise program, you'll find that your belly muscles are actually stronger than before surgery. And your shape will be improved. In most cases, incisions can be hidden under bathing suits.
I perform tummy tuck consultations and aftercare at my Park Avenue office in Manhattan and at my office in Franklin Park, New Jersey. Surgery is performed in a surgicenter or hospital in New York or New Jersey.
