Lto pregnancy is a delicate moment for a woman and, even more so, is the postpartum when your own body is undergoing complex changes. “The desire to find the physical shape of alwayswithout, however, this becoming an imperative or a concern» began the Prof. Sergio Noviello, doctor and cosmetic surgeon, medical director of Sergio Noviello Cosmetic Surgery & BAT Centre who continues: «Without arriving to the extreme cases of “mommy makeover” famous, i.e very fast recovery – such as those of Kate Middleton – there are many treatments and small home tricks of great help for new mothers ».
Remise en forme postpartum: the Mommy Makeover phenomenon
«According to data from the American Society of Plastic Surgeon, 60% of Americans resort to the “mommy makeover”, over physical beauty treatments, even demanding ones, to quickly find the shape of the pre-natal shape. Even in Italy this phenomenon is making its wayalso thanks to many celebs »explains the expert.
By mommy makeover we therefore mean a series of very targeted and specific interventions for the body in the postpartum period, to restore it to its usual state, in the shortest possible time, abdomen, thighs and hips, or rather the areas most subject to transformation during the months of pregnancy.
The most requested interventions by new mothers? Breast augmentation and mastopexy to restore tonicity to the breast after breastfeeding and abdominoplasty which, together with liposculpture on the hips and thighs, reshapes it».
The “sweet” solutions: quick post-pregnancy treatments
Cosmetic surgery is certainly not the only solution. Put aside the scalpels, in fact, there are many minimally invasive, quick and safe solutions with fast timing to gently regain shape.
«These are cycles of treatments that allow you to combine different technologies and innovative methods. Combined together and alternated, they help regenerate the skin, remodeling the body and reducing water retention and cellulite» explains prof. Noviello.
These protocols also reduce the appearance of stretch marks and help the skin regain firmness, with times that involve dat four to twelve sittings: «To reduce stretch marks, injection treatments based on organic silicon, trace elements stimulating the dermal matrix, hyaluronic acid with growth factors, antioxidants, vitamins are alternated. Furthermore, peelings are carried out with salicylic, glycolic and lactic acids to be modulated according to the initial situation».
Instead, to regain epidermal tone, «different protocols based on oligopeptides are implemented. These procedures must be evaluated based on the state of health of the patient and the child and always in compliance with adequate timing. This is why we recommend them at the end of breastfeeding ».
Can these programs also be used in other cases? «Yes, because they generally help to lose weight by dissolving fat accumulations. In fact, there are many solutions that can be diversified and which consist of injection cycles based on fat-dissolving substances or very fast outpatient treatments such as laserlipolysis, indicated for localized fat deposits on the hips, abdomen, buttocks, knees, arms, and cellulisis for the elimination of orange peel skin.
In Spa, deflate and loosen water retention after pregnancy
If already due to the high summer temperatures the legs are often heavy and aching, even more so in this moment of life. If you love Spa treatments, it’s best to focus on those that help deflate and lighten the extremities.
“Especially in health resorts I recommend foot baths with refreshing herbs and salt, alternating room temperature or lukewarm water. This has a beneficial effect on circulation by stimulating peripheral vasoconstriction. On the other hand, I advise against all treatments that alternate hot and cold waterespecially if you are pregnant because they can create a shock and inadequately stimulate the contractions of the uterus ».
Home remedies for the body, face and hair
«At home, moreover, the “grandmother’s remedy” by keep your legs elevated at night to fight swelling. Better to avoid the pillow under the knees and prefer a support under the mattress ».
As the expert advises, it is essential to keep all the skin hydrated even at home with nourishing creams based on essential amino acids, hyaluronic acid, collagen, vitamins or rice bran oil which have an emollient and elasticising action, preventing or combating stretch marks on the abdomen, thighs, buttocks and breasts. «Finally, don’t forget the hair too, for which it is a targeted hair routine with suitable products and supplements with vitamins B5 and B6 is essential».
