Breast Changes

During pregnancy, your breast size increases – often becoming fuller and heavier, preparing for lactation. After childbirth, the breasts experience a change known as ptosis – this change occurs when the stretching of the ligaments and elastin that hold the fatty tissue in place come under strain. According to the Aesthetic Surgical Journal, over 55% of women experience a change in their breast position after childbirth, especially when breastfeeding.

It is important to note that not all women will experience a significant breast change post-childbirth, but there are treatments such as breast surgery that you can undergo for those who do. A breast uplift ( surgically known as Mastopexy) involves lifting the breasts to a more desirable position on the body. Extensive surgery is a 100% tailored approach determined entirely by your body’s natural frame. Not only lifting the breasts, but the surgery will involve areola and nipple reduction for the overall perfect proportion between the two. For a more tailored consultation, we recommend booking a consultation with our specialists to determine the precise approach.

Abdominal Separation

A shared yet potentially permanent change post-pregnancy is abdominal separation. This develops when the abdomen muscles stretch apart, creating a gap between the stomach muscles. Whilst a natural process in the later stages of pregnancy, making way for the birth, two-thirds of women will retain some ratio of abdominal separation postpartum.

A tummy tuck is a popular approach to correcting or improving abdominal separation. As results vary and depend upon the body’s muscle quality and recovery and skin elasticity – the outcome can differ from patient to patient. However, we provide an optimal treatment that combines a tummy tuck with liposuction, which essentially addresses excess skin, a weekend muscle state, and a tighter abdominal – this custom approach is a prevalent option as it provides more significant results than advertised on the market.

Weight Gain

It is reported that the body gains between 10kg and 12.5kg (to note, weight gain varies significantly from pregnancy to pregnancy), and one in four women holds onto 11lbs after birth. With much of the weight lost through water in the first weeks, many women experience permanent additional weight gain in the following months and years. A surgical option that permanently addresses weight gain is Liposuction, which removes unwanted fat cells from the body.

The beauty of this method is that Liposuction can transform any part of the body by removing the excess subcutaneous fat that isn’t shifted by exercise or diet alone. We do recommend combining the treatment with a tummy tuck for optimal results. Still, a consultation will determine the best approach for you in achieving results that you are happy and confident with.
