Motherhood is a beautiful experience, but the changes it brings to your body can be challenging to accept. Stubborn belly fat, loose skin, and stretched muscles are common concerns many women face after childbirth. While diet and exercise help, they often fail to restore the firm, contoured abdomen you remember. That’s where a tummy tuck after pregnancy comes in.
At Little Rock Plastic Surgery, Dr. Michael Spann combines skill, experience, and advanced surgical techniques to help mothers regain their confidence and feel proud of their bodies again. Board certified in both General Surgery and Plastic Surgery, Dr. Spann has extensive training in cosmetic procedures, including abdominoplasty after childbirth.Â
How a Tummy Tuck Helps With Post-Baby Body Changes
Pregnancy can significantly impact your abdominal muscles, skin, and fat distribution. A tummy tuck for moms addresses these issues by removing excess skin and fat while tightening weakened abdominal muscles. This surgical option is particularly beneficial for women who experience changes such as diastasis recti or persistent bulges that don’t respond to exercise.
Tummy tuck surgery significantly enhances the quality of life for patients, according to research published in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery® , the journal of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. The study found that 94% of patients were satisfied with their results, and 97% reported a better quality of life post-surgery. The procedure, often includes muscle repair or fat and skin removal, helped many patients jumpstart additional weight loss.
Benefits of a Tummy Tuck After Pregnancy
A tummy tuck does more than flatten your stomach. It enhances your comfort, posture, and confidence in clothing. Women in Arkansas often seek Dr. Spann’s expertise for these results:
- Tightened abdominal muscles:Â Repairs the muscle separation caused by pregnancy.
- Smooth, firm abdomen:Â Removes sagging skin and stretch marks below the navel.
- Improved silhouette:Â This creates a more proportionate, contoured waistline.
- Enhanced self-confidence:Â Feel more comfortable in everyday and formal wear.
These improvements can restore both your physical comfort and your self-esteem after childbirth.
