Hospiten is making progress in the treatment of combined aesthetic surgeries after pregnancy to improve and recover the figure of patients. The aim of these surgeries is to correct the after-effects of pregnancy, mainly in the abdomen and breasts, with the application of comprehensive techniques.

The combined aesthetic surgeries, known as 'mommy makeover', allow achieving more complete and satisfactory results in a single intervention, sculpting the figure in a precise and efficient way after a cesarean section or natural childbirth.

Dr. María Dolores Balsalobre, specialist in plastic, aesthetic and reconstructive surgery at the Hospiten Rambla University Hospital, explains that "the procedures that are generally most in demand are abdominoplasty, to eliminate excess skin and tighten the abdominal muscles; breast augmentation with or without breast lift to improve the volume and position of breasts that have lost firmness and size; liposuction to eliminate localized fat deposits, and others such as buttock lifting or treatments for stretch marks".

"Pregnancy always changes the organism; the physical shape of women undergoes important modifications due to the increase and decrease in weight during and after pregnancy, which directly interferes with the distension of the abdominal muscles," the specialist points out. In this regard, Dr. Balsalobre points out that the shape and consistency of the breasts can change after pregnancy, whether or not there has been breastfeeding, "the body of women also changes considerably".

In this sense, Dr. Mª Dolores Balsalobre emphasizes that in order to undergo any aesthetic procedure "it is essential to have good general health" and maintains that this type of surgery "is not a substitute for weight loss". In addition, she recommends that it be performed when the patient does not plan to have any more children.

"Taking into account the physical changes in the abdominal area, the most demanded surgery is abdominoplasty, especially in those cases in which there have been several pregnancies or a twin pregnancy, in patients who do not practice exercise or in cases where there was already a separation of the abdominal muscles and the pregnancy has worsened," he indicates.

The key aspects for the recovery of these surgical operations depend on many factors, but, generally, rest is recommended for two to four weeks to resume light activities, such as driving, for example. "The results of a combined surgery depend on several factors such as skin quality, body weight and general health. In addition, it should be taken into account that the final result begins to be seen after two to three months and the definitive result after six to twelve months," he asserts.

Personalized treatment

In 80% of cases, this type of intervention is performed under general anesthesia and never on an outpatient basis, but requires hospitalization for one to two days, depending on the type of intervention. "At Hospiten we have numerous preventive measures in the operating room that allow us to know and control the patient's condition at all times, increasing the safety of this type of surgery," he says. To do this, the patient's state of health must be assessed, a preoperative examination with complementary tests and an adequate pre-anesthetic assessment must be carried out.

"At Hospiten hospitals we have the experience of a highly qualified medical team to guide patients through this process and offer them the best personalized solutions and close and safe care, from the initial evaluation to postoperative follow-up," concludes Dr. Balsalobre.

With this initiative, Hospiten reinforces its commitment to the integral health and wellbeing of women, offering personalized solutions that address both aesthetic and functional aspects after pregnancy. The combination of surgical techniques in a single procedure allows for a more efficient recovery and harmonious results, always under the highest standards of safety and quality of care.
