Postnatal begin a process of regression of these changes:
during the four or five weeks later, the uterus regresses. In about a week decreased to less than half of what it was, the fourth week can be as small as before pregnancy, reduces fluid retention and weight loss begins. Hormonal function yet persists in an average six months after delivery. Time during which the new mother should bring back his body, doing cardiovascular exercise, to recapture the initial contours.
But sometimes physical changes are so great that require management, such as at the breast:
Atrophy of these post-lactation, resulting in breasts without good design and shape, especially in the upper chest, or large breasts with lack of projection and fallen.
In these cases, plastic surgery offers several options including:
Augmentation thermoplastic, whose main objective is to improve volume and shape by using implants.
MAMMOGRAPHY, In this procedure the goal is to raise the breasts that have fallen and increasing its size, this can be through the use of implants or not.
For the rest of the body contour, as mentioned, it generates a fatty accumulation, predominantly in the central (middle abdomen, waist, hips, thighs), which if it was the normal increase, will be recovered quickly in the postpartum, but if it has been so exaggerated require correction, in this case, if there has been no loss of skin elasticity, sagging and no patient can be checked one LIPOSCULPTURE.
Where have formed many stretch marks below the navel, the rupture of collagen fibers in the dermis, or there is a loss of elasticity of the skin, just as if the muscles of the abdominal wall become weak, the patient requires performing a lipectomy ABDOMINAL MINILIPECTOMIA or, depending on their individual assessment.
When performing the surgery after childbirth?
As mentioned, changes during pregnancy is normal and physiological, “and for a period of approx. 6 months return to normal tissues, to the extent that the process hormonal decline, so do not suggest to practice surgical procedures before this time, just as in breast surgery, should not be made before the stage lactation has been suspended, and there is no milk production.
Breast surgery in not generate a dysfunction of the milk ducts (milk producers), thus generating no changes for subsequent lactation.
