While pregnancy is a great joy it can also take a huge toll on the female body. After having their children, many women consider a tummy tuck to address the resulting excess skin and fat. However, other potential symptoms that women experience following pregnancy may be improved, such as:
* urinary incontinence
* pelvic girdle pain
* low back pain
* separation of the abdominal muscles
As indicated in the above infographic a tummy tuck after pregnancy may also be beneficial in the following ways:
* to act as a spine stabiliser
* to increase core strength
* to tighten the abdominal muscles to improve movement (biomechanics)
* to improve lower back pain or bulging discs by improving the stabiility of the sacroiliac joint
* to improve body contour
