Plastic Surgery After Children

It's important to let time and nature heal your body after pregnancy and childbirth, but cosmetic surgery post-childbirth is very popular as more women turn to surgery to regain their body shape..

What Treatment Do I Need?

It's a very personal decision and no plastic surgery should be seen as a quick-fix solution.  Your body does need time to recover from the stress of pregnancy and childbirth before you begin to consider plastic surgery.  However, these techniques are popular among women "post-children":

• Breast Augmentation - if your breasts are now saggy and deflated after breast-feeding and/or pregnancy, then the addition of an implant may be very effective in restoring the volume and bringing back a younger, perkier look.  A very natural shape may be achieved using modern implants, but if you are looking to go bigger, then that can be achieved as well.  It's a personal decision, but our plastic surgeons are well versed in advising patients on what will suit their bodies and meet their individual requirements best.

• Breast Uplift - depending on the shape of your breasts, you may find that a breast uplift or mastopexy is more appropriate to bring back the youthful form.  This will remove excess skin and lift the breast mound.  This procedure can also be combined with the addition of an implant if additional volume is desired.

• Tummy Tuck - where excess skin and loosened abdominal wall muscles are left after childbirth, an abdominoplasty is very effective in restoring a "flat stomach".  Our expert plastic surgeons will carefully remove the excess skin and fat and tighten the abominal muscles to create a smoother profile so you can wear skinny jeans with pride!

• Liposuction - if you find that you are left with stubborn areas of fat that don't respond to weight loss efforts such as excercise, liposculpture can remove these to create a smoother sleeker profile.  This technique can be used in a number of areas around the body, but post-children, popular choices include the abdomen, thighs, flanks or back.

Every client is different and you need professional advice on what's right for you and your body.  To find out more, why not book a free consultation with a Patient Care Coordinator and expert Plastic Surgeon.  There's no cost and no treatment obligation, but it could be a big step towards regaining what time and children have taken away.
