Is The C-Section Tummy Tuck A Good Option For Getting Back Into Shape Fast?
You see celebrities nowadays get back in shape in no time and hear rumors about c-section tummy tuck procedures and the like, which make you wonder whether this is a good option for you as well. Before answering this question, you need to understand what a tummy tuck involves.
What Is A Tummy Tuck?
This is a major surgical procedure where not only fat is removed from the abdominal cavity, but also has the abs tightened by stitching it in such a manner that it creates a toned body look. This means that post surgery the stomach would be not only completely flat, but also tight as it would have been if your body responded to abs toning exercises.
It takes about four hours to perform this surgery after which your body would require anything between one to three months to fully recover. The success of the surgery depends very much upon the elasticity of your skin and muscles. This is why this surgery is recommended with caution.
What Happens With C-Section Tummy Tuck?
A c-section is performed when the baby, the mother or both are perceived in danger. The intervention would deliver the baby fast and in most cases safe saving the lives of one or both the baby and the mother. The body of the new mother is at that time fatigued with child birth and fully stretched to accommodate the baby.
Performing a c-section tummy tuck at this time would be like performing the surgery blind folded. This is because it is very difficult if not impossible for the plastic surgeon to foresee how the body would look post delivery and therefore he would not know how much skin to remove or how tight should be muscles be made at this stage. This means there would be no guarantee about the results of the c-section tummy tuck.
Most plastic surgeons would advise against the c-section tummy tuck because it is obviously not the right time to undergo body sculpture if you want to look as good as new. You would better let the body recover from the aftermaths of pregnancy with recommended exercises and proper diet first and reconsider this intervention after six months to one year if you observe that your body is unable to get back into the shape you wanted and had before the pregnancy.
At such time a tummy tuck would work wonders for you provided you would not plan to get pregnant again since a pregnancy would totally reverse the benefits of the surgery.
