Although welcoming a new life into the world is a life-changing experience, it may also have a significant negative impact on a woman’s physical health. Through post-pregnancy cosmetic operations, more and more women in Albania are regaining their bodies and finding confidence again. In this article, we will explain the reasons for the increasing popularity of cosmetic postpartum treatments, as well as the way society views them. These procedures provide an opportunity for moms to accept their postpartum bodies and start a journey of self-renewal, addressing physical changes and enhancing self-esteem. Join us as we explore the cosmetic surgeries we offer to improve the woman’s body after pregnancy.

Physical Transformations Post-Pregnancy

Breasts After Pregnancy

The hormones that tell your body to create milk, prolactin, will rise immediately after birth while estrogen and progesterone will decrease. This will cause the breasts to produce more milk and have an increase in blood flow, which will enlarge the breasts. This peaks two to three days postpartum and fades out as the baby breastfeeds.

Your breasts may continue to enlarge after giving birth, decrease, or return to their pre-pregnancy size. In most cases, women usually lose a cup size after giving birth. Pregnancy-related weight increase in the breasts can cause drooping of the skin in certain women. Smokers will also notice that their skin will age quicker as well.

Abdominal Muscles After Pregnancy

Your core abdominal muscles may become weak after giving birth, and most women have some degree of diastasis recti—a split in the abdominal muscles—as a result of the expanding uterus and the baby. Many women have softer, floppier stomachs, and the degree to which this belly firming occurs in the months following childbirth depends on a variety of factors, including genetics, postpartum exercise regimen, and the degree to which the skin and tissues were stretched during pregnancy. After the first eight weeks following delivery, the split in the abdominal muscles may heal on its own, but it usually doesn’t. This will most likely lead to:

• Tummy that appears pregnant even after birth.
• Weakening of the core muscles.
• Backache when lifting heavy things.

Vagina After Pregnancy

If you had birth by regular vaginal delivery, your vagina will most likely remain slightly bigger than before. The vagina will gradually shrink over the next several days as it regains its muscular tone. The skin of the labia can also stretch during pregnancy and delivery. The labia, which make up the genital exterior, are crucial for vaginal protection as well as for sexual activity. After delivery, the labia tissues may contract and become equal in size without producing pain or discomfort.

But occasionally, excessively big or asymmetrical labia can cause discomfort and serve as a source of insecurity. Your ability to exercise, have sex, and wear particular clothes can all be impacted by stretched labia. While women who only have one kid may experience this, those who have several pregnancies or close-space pregnancies seem to experience it more frequently.

Legs After Pregnancy

Stretch marks, varicose veins, and spider veins in the legs can result from weight increase during pregnancy. Even while they will eventually become smaller, they most likely won’t go away. Compression stockings can lessen the visibility of spider veins after birth and the pain associated with varicose vein distension.

Skin After Pregnancy

Your skin may be impacted, along with the rest of your body, by changes in hormones, stress, and sleep deprivation caused by becoming a new parent. While some women who had acne before becoming pregnant may start to notice improvements, others who had clean skin will have more outbreaks. Some women may detect a black line extending from the belly button to the pubic bone, or they may see chloasma, which is defined by darker patches of skin over the lips, nose, or forehead. In the months following childbirth, this discoloration will start to go away. You may have stretch marks throughout the tummy, which will progressively lighten in color but may not completely vanish depending on the weight growth and the size of the kid.

Popular Post-Pregnancy Cosmetic Procedures In Albania

As more women embrace this life-changing experience, a new trend is reshaping the post-pregnancy narrative. Motherhood is a transformational journey filled with joy and challenges. Not only are cosmetic operations helping women deal with the physical effects of delivery, but they are also helping women feel more confident and like they own their bodies again. Furthermore, we will explain some of the of most used cosmetic procedures after childbirth that are becoming increasingly popular in Albania.

Tummy Πιέτα

After giving birth, some moms who experience an abdominal muscle separation, as well as those who are left with loose skin or unwanted abdominal flab, may choose to have an abdominoplasty. Moms who have loose, weak stomach muscles or a tenacious “pooch” that makes their abdomen seem bloated or obese frequently are most suitable for these types of treatments. This surgical technique sometimes referred to as a “κοιλιοπλαστική” includes tightening and smoothing loose elastic tissues and skin. Abdominoplasty tightens the muscles in the stomach, eliminates unattractive stretch marks, and leaves the stomach looking flatter and thinner.

Αυξητική Στήθους

The shape, symmetry, and size of a mother’s breasts might alter as a result of pregnancy and nursing; contrary to what is believed, these changes cannot be undone by toning or strength training activities alone. During a αύξηση στήθους surgery, sometimes known as a “boob job,” fat from another area of the body is transferred or silicone or saline implants are used to produce the illusion of larger, rounder, and more proportionate breasts.

Mothers who have lost breast volume or form as a result of the natural stretching and contractions of their skin during pregnancy and the hormonal changes that follow provide them an ideal match for breast augmentations. However, as augmentations are primarily intended to contour the breasts, boost fullness, and offer a mild to moderate lift, additional cosmetic operations are advised for patients with extremely stretched or drooping breasts.

Ανελκυστήρας Στηθών

Pregnancy-related hormones usually cause breast tissues to expand during pregnancy; however, during the postpartum period, particularly during and just after nursing, these same tissues shrink and contract, which can stretch breast skin beyond its elastic limit. For moms who wish to prevent these consequences surgically, a breast lift is a common alternative because flexibility will never be fully restored on its own. A ανόρθωση στήθους can remove loose skin and sculpt the breasts for a more youthful look without the need for implants or fat transfer, but it cannot drastically change the size of your breasts.

Το Liposuction

Following childbirth, numerous moms experience persistent pockets of fatty tissue that resists reduction via diet and exercise. To reduce fat and shape the body for a more symmetrical shape, λιποαναρρόφηση can be used in several locations. Liposuction is a technique that can eliminate small to moderate fat deposits from the waist, arms, buttocks, chest, and hips, but it is not the best option for those with a large quantity of body fat and will not treat loose skin or cellulite.

Mommy Makeover

One of the most often used combined plastic surgery procedures today is the “μανούλα makeover” which is intended to precisely address frequent problems seen by mothers who have given birth and are nursing a child. The surgical method has become popularised in the media and is now the preferred practice for wealthy and famous celebrities.

The term “mommy makeover” is a general term for a specific set of body contouring treatments that are done in combination to address the physical alterations that occur long after giving birth. The mommy makeover’s popularity might be attributed to its personalized nature, whereby every surgery is designed to meet the specific requirements of each patient. Nonetheless, the surgical method often begins with a treatment to shape the breasts and belly, then adds other components as needed for the client.

Given that the breasts and abdomen undergo the most changes after pregnancy, a mommy makeover frequently revolves around a treatment involving the breasts and abdomen. The breasts will also grow during pregnancy and nursing, sometimes by up to a full cup size. But getting back to “normal” could result in obvious drooping and a large loss of breast fullness. Additionally, the skin, tissues, and muscles of the abdomen stretch throughout pregnancy to securely make room for the developing baby. Sadly, these layers might not return to their tight, pre-baby form after childbirth.

The mommy makeover procedure may include these types of treatment combined: 

• Αυξητική Στήθους
• Ανελκυστήρας Στηθών
• Tummy Πιέτα
• Κοιλιοπλαστική
• Το Liposuction
• Μείωση Στήθους

Your Personalized Mommy Makeover

Mommy makeovers are customized to each patient’s requirements and preferences, therefore recovery periods and surgical techniques vary. Usually, the recovery time is compared to that of the most severe surgery you’re having.

Many women choose to get their surgical procedures done when their kids are still very little. This allows them to get back their preferred appearance sooner, but it requires careful preparation for child care throughout the healing period. For four to six weeks following surgery, most surgical procedures restrict lifting; as a result, you will need to have someone else do any duties that involve a kid to be picked up or carried while you recover.

The timeline for your results is greatly determined by the procedures done. Although it varies from patient to patient, most of them feel secure and at ease to wear a swimsuit three months following surgery. These procedures will have long-lasting outcomes if you maintain them properly by eating healthy and exercising. 

Benefits Of A Mommy Makeover

For a variety of reasons, including bettering your quality of life and self-confidence or just wishing to fit back into your old clothing, you might want to consider getting a mommy makeover. Some possible benefits that this procedure includes can be:

• Relieving the symptoms of diastasis recti: Diastasis recti can cause pelvic and lower back discomfort in many people. Some of these symptoms may be treated with a stomach tuck to correct abdominal separation.
• Regaining some of the body contours from before the pregnancy: Breast reshaping and contouring can be achieved by breast lifts, with or without breast augmentation. This can lessen or even reverse the effects of nursing, weight loss, and/or aging on the size and look of the breasts.
• Enhancing sex life: Following cosmetic surgery, some patients may have a greater sense of “sexual self-esteem.” This will make the process nicer and the patient will feel more confident with their appearance.
