Caesarean belly is the fat in the belly area that occurs after the birth by cesarean section, as well as when the weight gained during pregnancy and breastfeeding becomes permanent. Caesarean section surgery is a procedure performed when normal birth is not suitable for the health of the mother and baby. During the surgical procedure, incisions and stitches are performed on the abdominal cavity and uterus.
Although the abdominal area, which expands with the growth of the uterus during pregnancy, returns to its previous state over time after birth, the fat layer and skin formed by the weight gained cause sagging in the cesarean section area. This sagging, called cesarean belly, is a worrying situation for the mother who dreams of regaining her old physique after birth. For this reason, it is normal for women who are confident about their baby’s and their own health to research how to melt the cesarean belly and whether there is a natural or surgical way to do this.
How to Get Rid of Hanging Belly After Cesarian (C-Section)? What Should Be Considered for Natural Belly?
You can benefit from natural methods for cesarean belly and postpartum belly melting. However, getting rid of belly fat after birth is a different process for every woman. Since every woman’s metabolism is different, the same success in losing weight may not be achieved with natural methods. However, in order to get rid of cesarean belly and postpartum belly problems, you should pay attention to the following points:
- After cesarean section and normal birth, do not implement an exercise and diet program until your recovery process is completed and the baby’s healthy diet is ensured.
- A healthy diet program can be the first step to melt belly fat. Increase your intake of fruits, vegetables, whole grains and protein. Definitely stay away from processed foods. Reduce your portions.
- Consume adequate amounts of water. Water consumption regulates metabolism and helps remove toxins from the body. Additionally, water consumption also increases milk yield.
- Make an exercise program that will help you burn calories. Walking, running, cycling and swimming are ideal options for this. In this way, you accelerate fat burning.
Do abdominal exercises to strengthen and recover your abdominal muscles. - Continue these exercises regularly. By consulting an expert, you can exercise for 30 minutes to 1 hour 3-4 days a week.
Maintain your sleep pattern. Irregular sleep can accelerate fat accumulation.
Be patient during the cesarean belly and weight loss process after birth, and you will see positive results over time. Belly fat is the last fat to melt in the body, so it may not be possible to get immediate results. Apart from these methods, it is of course possible to get rid of the cesarean belly and postpartum belly in a short time with plastic surgery methods.
What are the Surgical Methods Used to Melt Caesarean and Birth Belly?
As we mentioned before, natural methods, exercise and diet programs used to lose belly fat after cesarean section and normal birth are methods that can get results in the long term. While some women who use these methods can lose weight in a short time, most women resort to surgical methods. The main surgical methods used to remove the cesarean belly and belly fat after birth are liposuction, tummy tuck surgery and mommy makeover.
Liposuction: Stubborn fat in the belly area that is difficult to melt can be precisely removed with the liposuction method. In the liposuction method, regional fats are removed by suction with special techniques.
Tummy Tuck Surgery (Abdominoplasty): In addition to removing stitch marks after cesarean section, tummy tuck surgery also eliminates fat accumulated in the belly area and skin sagging problems. Its advantage over the Liposuction method in belly fat loss is that excess sagging skin along with accumulated fat is removed.
Mommy Makeover: Mommy Makeover is a combined procedure. In addition to liposuction and abdominal aesthetics, maternity makeover includes a number of aesthetic operations such as breast reduction against postpartum breast growth and sagging, breast lift, breast enlargement in case of sagging breasts, and vaginal aesthetics. In maternity makeover, more than one aesthetic operation can be performed simultaneously or at regular intervals.
