Tightening the abdomen by surgery?
After giving birth, women absolutely want their flat stomach back. In today’s world, however, there is often a lack of motivation and time to do so. Therefore, a surgical abdominoplasty is an issue for more and more women.
However, consultation with a doctor is very important, as such an operation takes place under general anesthesia and is therefore not a minor procedure. Every woman should be aware of the risks of such an operation and really consider this option only as a “last” alternative. During the operation, an arch-shaped incision is made in the lower abdomen to lift the abdominal wall with the fat from the muscles and pull it down.
After the removal of excess fat and skin, the abdomen appears significantly firmer and flatter. The success of such an operation can usually be seen after one week, when the swelling has subsided. The final result is then visible after six months at the latest, when healing is also completely complete.
As this is an operation under general anesthesia, there are certain risks involved. Wound healing can be disturbed, so that the healing process is prolonged. In addition, post-operative bleeding, fluid accumulation and sensory disturbances can occur, which must then be treated. Every woman should therefore consider carefully whether such an operation is really useful, or whether there are other options.
Strengthen connective tissue on the stomach
The connective tissue of our body has important functions. It is jointly responsible for the maintenance of shape and the shaping of the body. In addition, important structures of the body such as nerves, sweat glands, blood vessels and padding tissue for the bones are anchored in the connective tissue.
In women, the connective tissue is not quite as well connected as that of men, so dents and reshaping can occur. This problem affects many women, especially after pregnancy. Weak connective tissue can have several causes.
It can be promoted by too little fluid intake, little exercise and a poor diet. In terms of nutrition, peppers, all types of cabbage and seeds such as millet and oats are true miracle cures for connective tissue weakness. A sufficient supply of liquid should be covered mainly with water.
Sweet drinks should ideally be avoided completely, and juices are only healthy to a certain extent. Sport is also not unimportant for the firmness of the connective tissue, since water and fat are burned and excreted from the cells through exercise. The loss of these two substances can tighten and renew the connective tissue. The following topic could also be interesting for you: What courses are there after birth?
