After my child was born i didn’t loose all the waight
and now that i have started my stomach skinn is really saggy
i still have some more waight to loose but….
Its almost been two years so i dont think that it will just pop back up
plastic surgary or tummy tucks are NOT an option
so i was wondering if there was any natural way to tighten the skinn
it sounds weird but someone said Jump roping
im not sure how but its worth a try
is there any creams or body wraps or exsersices to tighten the skinn
please help?
even if it works just a little
massage your stomach daily and really knead the loose skin with your hands. that’ll help the collagen spread back out where it was before and improve your skin’s elasticity to also go back to where it was before. i have two kids and this has helped me a lot.
You have discovered that ending your relationship with your love handles is harder than finding help in a box store. Your efforts at diet and exercise have not gotten rid of stubborn fatty bulges, and the loose skin from multiple pregnancies or weight loss simply hangs and hangs. For a smoother and shapelier torso your remaining option is the tummy tuck, also know as abdominoplasty.
With a tummy tuck, excess skin and fat are removed surgically from the abdominal region and the underlying muscles are tightened to create a slimmer and smoother contour. The procedure also better defines the waist. This plastic surgery procedure is a major surgery and does require some recovery. Like any plastic surgery, not everyone is a candidate, but if you are considering a tummy tuck, consider these facts about this common cosmetic procedure.
Your physical condition determines whether you are a suitable candidate for a tummy tuck. Ideally, men or women who are in reasonably good physical condition make the best candidates for the removal of excess fat bulges and loose skin, especially if they have already tried to get rid of it with diet and exercise.
If your excess skin and fat is mostly concentrated below the belly button, you may be a candidate for a mini tummy tuck. In this procedure, there is a shorter incision and the belly button is not moved. There is also a shorter recovery from a mini tummy tuck than from a standard or full tummy tuck.
Because a tummy tuck is a surgery that requires a long incision, you will be left with a scar. To reduce this negative consequence, we place the scar in the lower abdomen that will typically be covered by underwear and bathing suits. And, with proper healing, the scar often becomes very faint.
Smoking interferes with recovering from surgery and increases the risks of complications following a tummy tuck. If you are a smoker, you will have to face quitting smoking two weeks before your surgery and during your recovery. Permanently quitting would certainly be best for many reasons.
You should be aware that liposuction may be used in conjunction with your tummy tuck. Indeed, liposuction might be all that is needed to achieve the desired result on your abdomen. Be open to the possibility that you may only need the less invasive procedure of liposuction. When you meet your plastic surgeon, he or she will examine you and help determine the best option.
When you visit your Beverly Hills plastic surgeon for a consultation about a tummy tuck, be candid about your body-shaping goals. Your surgeon will be evaluating the skin and fat deposits of your body along with your expectations about results. Then, your surgeon will discuss with you what can be realistically achieved with a tummy tuck.
The results of a tummy tuck can be very long lasting if you eat sensibly and stay active. If you overeat and gain weight excessively, then your skin and tissues will be forced to stretch out into new bulges.
A final thought for you to consider about tummy tucks is that nothing is standard with plastic surgery. Each body is unique with its own shape and underlying physical attributes. A plastic surgeon must assess each person individually and perform a tummy tuck that is suited to each body. If you get a tummy tuck, it will be the tummy tuck for your body and it will not necessarily look like the tummy of another person who also had the procedure.
An Abdominoplasty Will Make You Look And Feel Better
In the United States and across the world, it is especially important to look your best. An abdominoplasty or “tummy tuck” is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin and fatty tissue from the abdomen, as well as tighten the underlying musculature. An abdominoplasty from a plastic surgery center will tighten stretched, wrinkled skin, creating a firmer, flatter abdomen and narrower waistline.
Protruding abdomens or those with loose, wrinkled, or hanging skin and fatty tissue, causes distress to thousands of people. Weak abdominal muscles, weight fluctuations, pregnancy, and surgical scars can wreak havoc on our lower midsections. This area does not respond well to diet and exercise for many people.
Abdominoplasty is not, however, a substitute for weight reduction, and it is not meant as a treatment for obesity. The ideal candidate for tummy tuck surgery has relatively normal weight with weak abdominal muscles and excess skin and fat of the lower abdomen. Loss of skin elasticity, which frequently occurs with slight obesity in older patients, or extreme fluctuations in weight, can result in loose, stretched, hanging skin, as well as fat in the lower abdomen. These conditions can be improved with this procedure. If stretch marks are a problem, only the marks on the excess or hanging skin will be removed. Abdominal wall hernias and/or abdominal scars can sometimes be complicating factors that may also be corrected during tummy tuck surgery.
At a cosmetic surgery center, emphasis is placed on a thorough initial consultation. During the first visit, your plastic surgeon will review the patient’s medical history, goals and expectations, as well as build mutual trust and rapport. Before and after photos from previous abdominoplasty procedures performed by your plastic surgeon will be reviewed. Your plastic surgeon will examine the your abdomen and will create a treatment plan to meet your individual needs.
In selected cases, your cosmetic surgeon may reccommend a less extensive “mini” or “modified” abdominoplasty. These procedures can be individualized to treat, conditions such as loose muscle tone without excess skin and fat. The procedure can also treat excess skin and fat without loose muscle tone. A “mini” abdominoplasty usually treats conditions or problems isolated to the lower abdomen. In these cases, an incision around the belly button (umbilicus) may not be necessary. The requirements of the patient may mean the abdominal wall and muscles may be tightened. Prospective abdominoplasty patients are encouraged to speak with previous patients about their surgery and results. Your plastic surgeon and their staff are always available for questions about abdominoplasty.
