The Post Baby Belly

I remember coming home from the hospital after my last baby and thinking that was great to be thin again.   Then trying to put on my pre-pregnancy jeans and thinking "What has happened?!"   While I was pregnant some one snuck in and took all of my clothes in!   What a cruel joke!  I actually know very few people (except those in People Magazine) that actually return, after pregnancy, to their pre- baby bodies.  Even if you weigh the same, it's not in the same place.  Abdominal skin that has been stretched out is rarely the same taught, flat, non-wrinkled skin it was before.   Sometimes  it will do pretty well with the first baby, but usually by two or three  your abdomen just gives up.  ( and who can blame it)  The bad news about stretched out skin is that there are not enough sit ups in the world to tighten it.   The only way to get rid of extra skin is to cut it out.   The good news is that a skilled, artistic, experienced plastic surgeon can give you your flat, tight tummy back.   We see so many moms who are spending hours and hours at the gym working on abs and who are so discouraged because they still have that "doughy" skin on their abdomens.  They actually do have "abs of steel" but they are buried under a layer of loose, wrinkled tummy.   Don't continue to be discouraged.   Come see us and find out what can be done.
