Taking time to regain your figure <\/h2>\n

During the 9 months of pregnancy, the female body prepares for the baby's arrival. Weight gain is part of the natural physiological process. Alongside the weight of the baby, placenta, uterus and amniotic fluid, the mother's body stores proteins and fats to prepare for breastfeeding and strengthen itself for childbirth. Some kilos are due to increased blood volume, breast size and water retention. Weight gain accelerates in the final trimester.
Doctors recommend average pregnancy weight gain of between 10 and 13 kilos. However, this range is only a guide. Slimmer women may gain more. Women with a larger build are advised to control their weight gain.
Never losing pregnancy weight is a source of anxiety for many pregnant women. When tackling excess kilos, impatience is your worst enemy and time your best ally. Although a natural weight loss of 6 to 10 kilos occurs at childbirth, regaining your original figure takes time. Do not focus on the scales. The uterus takes around 8 weeks to return to its original size. If you breastfeed, some stored fat will be used to produce breast milk. Weight loss occurs gradually and varies considerably between women and body types. Regaining your previous weight takes time, often between 9 months and a year after the baby's birth.<\/p>\n

Exercising and adopting a healthy diet <\/h2>\n

After the baby is born, adopt a varied and balanced diet. Favour fruits and vegetables, fibres, cereals, rich in nutrients and vitamins and low in fat. Conversely, limit fatty, sugary and processed foods. Do not deprive yourself and avoid drastic diets ! They contribute to the \u201cyo-yo effect\u201d (rapid weight gain and loss) and the appearance of stretch marks.
Alongside a healthy and balanced diet, resuming physical exercise is essential to lose the kilos stored and strengthen the abdominal muscles. Perineal rehabilitation must be completed before resuming physical activity. This must be approved by the doctor or the midwife. During the first postnatal month, the \u2018post-partum body\u2018 must gently recover from childbirth. It is recommended to start again with simple exercises and gentle sports, limiting impacts, such as swimming, walking, gentle gym\u2026 Doing a sport that brings you pleasure is the key to consistency. Prefer short sessions several times a week to a single long weekly session.<\/p>\n

Post-pregnancy belly apron and saddlebags: considering cryolipolysis and radiofrequency <\/h2>\n

Some areas of the body retain curves despite a balanced diet and regular exercise. Slimming<\/a> down then becomes difficult. The body parts most prone to storing fat are the abdomen<\/a>, thighs<\/a>, hips<\/a>, and buttocks<\/a>. In the abdominal area, loose skin can create what is known as an unsightly \u201capron belly\u201d or \u201cpregnancy pouch.\u201d<\/p>\n

To reduce stubborn saddlebags<\/strong> and eliminate this post-pregnancy belly apron without surgery, aesthetic medicine is an option. Cryolipolysis involves applying extreme cold to targeted areas (abdomen, buttocks\u2026) to destroy fat cells. Quick and painless, the procedure uses a device that draws in fatty areas and exposes them to very cold temperatures. This technique allows slimming through cold without surgery. Fat cells are gradually eliminated by the body after the session. Fat tissue loses 30% to 40% of its thickness, and the figure regains its slimness and harmony.<\/p>\n

Having cellulite after pregnancy<\/strong> is very common. Increased female sex hormones (oestrogens) during pregnancy encourage cellulite development. In women, fat cells enlarge and cause unsightly irregularities on the skin's surface. This is commonly called \"orange peel skin\", a source of insecurity and distress.<\/p>\n

Various solutions exist to treat this phenomenon and remove cellulite<\/a>: radiofrequency<\/a> and anti-cellulite mesotherapy<\/a>. Effective on all cellulite types (fibrous, oedematous and adipose), radiofrequency involves delivering a heat-generating current beneath the skin to eliminate cellulite. Abdominal radiofrequency<\/u> sessions eliminate fat cells stored in the abdominal area and reshape the figure, restoring a flat stomach. Less invasive than abdominoplasty surgery, this treatment causes neither pain nor side effects.<\/p>\n
