Giving birth can be so hard on the body, and the fact is, you may not realize just how hard it was until you’ve finally started to recover. If your goal is to learn to love your new body for all its battle scars and the ways it changed to make room for your children, then go for it. Loving yourself as you are is an incredible skill that cannot be emphasized enough. That being said, you also don’t have to. There is no shame in wanted to get cosmetic treatments done so that you can have the body you used to.
If you’re feeling dysmorphic, don’t have the same confidence, and worry about it day in and day out, then investing in your body is the way to go. Just because the solution is to go to a cosmetic surgeon and not a gym doesn’t mean that the work isn’t valid. The only thing that matters is that you’re happy in your own skin. If you need a bit more help to get there, then so be it! That’s why more moms than ever are looking at these post-birth cosmetic treatments to help them feel like themselves again:
When to Get These Treatments
You must wait for a year or two after your last kid. Your body does need time to heal on its own and reach a new normal. That, and getting work done before you’re finished having kids can mean all that money goes down the drain and you have to start over again. The good news is that waiting can help make those treatments more affordable, since you have more time to save up for the treatment cost.
Top Post-Birth Cosmetic Treatments to Feel Like You Again
There are so many different treatments out there, from liposuction to cool sculpting to laser resurfacing. The three most popular treatments by far, however, include:
Micro Needling
Micro needling is typically used to help treat things like acne scars or even fine lines, and it’s becoming an increasingly popular treatment for mothers who want to fade their extensive stretch marks.
Breast Augmentation
The breasts go through so many changes in order to feed and nurture your babies, and once their done their duty they can look rather low. That’s why so many women choose breast augmentation to give them back their perky breasts. Of course, that’s just the aesthetic side. Sometimes after breastfeeding your breasts may stay in an uneven shape, or even change shape altogether. Getting breast augmentation can help fix those issues and give you back the chest you were once proud of. This is done either with saline or silicone implants, which you should learn more about before your consultation.
Tummy Tuck
Your skin can stretch out and then not bounce back to where it was before, leaving a gooey center that won’t go away no matter how much exercise or strength training you do. That’s why tummy tucks are so popular. They work to refit your skin and remove excess so that you get back to your natural size.
