Post Pregnancy Body Changes

Pregnancy and breast feeding can cause significant changes to our bodies. The repeated stretching of breast and abdominal skin can lead to loose skin, volume loss, stretch marks and poorer tissue quality.   Furthermore, the rectus muscle in the abdomen can split, leading to a bloated appearance and even back pain or urinary incontinence

We utilise several treatments in tandem to give you the best post-baby body: At Sculpt, our surgeons will sit with you to assess your condition and listen to your concerns and desires to design a treatment plan together.

Post Pregnancy Body Changes

You’d be hard-pressed to find anything as miraculous as a mother’s body, which can grow and deliver life, only to continue to nourish a newly born infant through the first few months of life. The body goes through many changes during pregnancy and breastfeeding, often changing into a permanent new shape once the baby is born.

While many women view the changes in their bodies as beautiful reminders of what their bodies are capable of, some women feel uncomfortable with their new appearance and opt for plastic surgery to restore their pre-pregnancy body.

Common changes following pregnancy include changes to the breast and abdomen

  • Breasts
    • Volume changes
    • Stretch marks
    • Larger skin envelope, causing a droop
  • Tummy
    • More excess skin
    • Stretch marks
    • More fat
    • Divarication (splitting) of the rectus muscle, causing a bloated appearance

These areas can change quite dramatically after pregnancy and childbirth, even with a controlled diet and exercise program.

Surgery is an effective way of treating these changes.  Procedures include

  • breast lift (mastopexy)
  • breast augmentation
  • breast augmentation mastopexy
  • Abdominoplasty with rectus divarication repair

Options

Procedures for the post pregnancy body changes are customised according to what you are trying to achieve.

Our experienced surgeons will walk you through all your options and explain the pros and cons of various options

01.

Breast augmentation: Pregnancy and breastfeeding can sometimes leave breasts looking deflated. Breast implants can replace the fullness of pre-pregnancy breasts.

02.

Breast reduction: Some women find that their breasts are significantly larger after pregnancy and want to reduce them to their former cup size.

03.

Breast lift: The changes that breasts go through during pregnancy and breastfeeding can take their toll, leaving once-perky breasts sagging. A breast lift is an easy way to get them back up to their former positions.

04.

Labiaplasty: Some women find that childbirth changes the appearance of their labia and want a way to fix the discomfort that this can cause.

05.

Abdominoplasty (tummy tuck): The skin around the belly area stretches out quite a bit during pregnancy to accommodate the growing uterus. This can sometimes leave baggy skin in the tummy area that some women would prefer to get rid of.
