There are many non-surgical treatments available to target both scaring and loose skin postpartum.
iPixel is a fractional ablative laser treatment that can resurface the skin and can improve the appearance of texture and pigment related concerns. It’s highly effective for treating scars by stimulating collagen renewal for a refreshed and radiant appearance.
Endermologie is a multi-purpose massage therapy treatment with rejuvenating and skin tightening benefits. Specifically, it works as a firming and smoothing treatment for the body. The treatment is a needle and laser-free treatment which also works on the lymphatic system.
Thermage FLX – Heats the skin and boosts collagen and elasticity levels to smooth, lift and tighten skin on the stomach area.
Accent Prime – Treats sagging skin and laxity, reducing the appearance of nasolabial folds. Breaks down fatty deposits anywhere on the body, the treatment is quick and has no downtime or side effects.
In terms of surgical procedures, the most beneficial way to remove the extra skin would be through a tummy tuck or mini tummy tuck.
Also known as an abdominoplasty, it targets weakened muscles and loose skin caused by pregnancy. The approach to the operation varies from patient to patient depending on your goals, skin elasticity and skin and muscle quality.
The incisions are usually much more discreet, with the aim to reduce the invasiveness of the surgery. A mini tummy tuck is an ideal option for those who have a small layer of excess skin in the lower stomach. Usually, an incision will be made within the underwear line, and the surgeon can combine the operation with liposuction to address fat in the pubic mound and the lower pouch of fat on the stomach to restore a flatter stomach and abdomen.
