Pregnancy’s Lasting Effects on Your Body’s Contours

Posted on January 25, 2025

Pregnancy is a beautiful and life-changing experience, but it can also bring lasting changes to your body’s contours. Many women find that their bodies do not return to their pre-pregnancy shape even with a healthy diet and regular exercise. At Aqua Plastic Surgery in Jupiter, FL, our skilled surgeons specialize in mommy makeovers — customized procedures designed to restore confidence and enhance your natural beauty.

How Pregnancy Alters Your Body’s Shape

During pregnancy, the body undergoes significant changes to accommodate a growing baby. Some changes may be temporary, while others can be permanent without surgical intervention.

• Abdominal Changes – The skin and muscles in the abdomen stretch to make room for the baby. Many women experience diastasis recti, a separation of the abdominal muscles that does not fully heal on its own, leaving a stubborn belly pooch.
• Breast Deflation and Sagging – Hormonal changes and breastfeeding can cause the breasts to enlarge and later deflate, often leading to sagging or loss of volume.
• Stubborn Fat Deposits – Many women develop localized fat pockets in the abdomen, hips, thighs, or back that are resistant to diet and exercise.
• Loose Skin – The skin loses elasticity, particularly in the abdomen and breasts, leading to loose, excess skin that does not tighten naturally after childbirth.

How Mommy Makeover Restores Your Shape

Mommy makeover is a combination of procedures tailored to address the unique effects of pregnancy. The most common procedures include:

• Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty) – Repairs diastasis recti and removes excess skin and fat for a flatter, firmer abdomen.
• Breast Lift and/or Augmentation – Elevates sagging breasts and restores lost volume with implants or fat transfer.
• Liposuction – Eliminates stubborn fat pockets in areas not responding to post-pregnancy weight loss efforts.
