Swelling After Tummy Tuck
|
Question: Mothers-to-be Britney, Jordan and Demi will
be queuing up for this year's most in-demand
celebrity plastic surgery package.
First off, the celebrity mother gets her
silicone breast implants removed early in her
pregnancy to prevent stretching, then when the
baby is born (usually whipped out by caesarean
at eight months to prevent the mother having to
get too fat) new implants are put back,
liposuction is done on the arse and thighs plus a
full tummy tuck to get rid of all signs of
pregnancy. The new mother keeps hidden from the
public for about ten days while everything
heals - which, of course, is not suspicious,
as she's just given birth.
Many private hospitals around the world now
offer this as part of the birth package.
Have you have heard about that? What's your opinions?
Answer: I don't know if this is a joke (see name of procedure) but the idea that
a woman can recover from a tummy tuck--let alone a tummy tuck and a
caesarian--in 10 days is certainly a joke.
Doing a "tummy tuck" almost immediately after giving birth makes no
sense whatsoever. Abdominoplasties involve tightening and sewing and
moving muscles, not simply s suctioning fat. They require general
anaesthesia. They are major--and drastic--surgery. New, young mothers
don't need this. The baby fat can be lost, and the muscle tone can be
recovered.
Those multiple lipos (if any doctor would be willing to do them all at
once) might make walking possible--though uncomfortable--by about 10
days. But doctors are becoming reluctant to do several areas of lipo at
once, because of blood loss, and time under anaesthesia.
So the surgeries themselves would probably take 10 days. The swelling
after liposuction would take much longer to go down, and would be
noticeable.
C sections are performed more than they used to be not to keep the
mother from having to carry too much weight, but as preventive measures
against possible slightly more difficult than usual vaginal births.
They're defensive medicine. But to think that a doctor would do one for
cosmetic reasons is crazy. The C section itself can be dangerous, and
the whole idea is to avoid lawsuits.
