Doctor Peña-Romero is a Plastic, Aesthetic and Reconstructive Surgeon, explains that this surgical process has to do with removing the excess skin on the abdomen after a woman has had one or more children or has lost mass mass either by diet or by bariatric surgery.

He maintains that after those situations there is a flaccidity in the abdomen and the excess skin is removed, the navel is reconstructed and the abdominal muscles are affirmed.

This treatment offers patients to regain the harmony of their chest and abdomen, because despite the fact that pregnancy is the most beautiful moment of their lives, leaves their traces on the body and few women recover their previous figure.

There is no doubt that pregnancy takes its toll on the mother’s body, the breasts increase in size to prepare for breastfeeding, the uterus expands incredibly and with it the abdomen and there are few pregnant women who do not gain more weight from the account, but after breastfeeding is over, the breasts show more drooping and the skin of the belly loses elasticity, for which many women feel dissatisfied with their figure and that undermines their self-esteem.

Among the benefits offered by this surgery, Dr. says that apart from the aesthetic point of view which is the fundamental benefit, patients improve their self-esteem considerably, they feel more secure and their intimate life also improves.

The duration will depend on the physical texture of the patient, usually between two and three hours.

The specialist recommends that after surgery the patient a balanced and healthy eating rhythm as well as practicing exercises periodically to keep the body in shape and that the results remain.
