Post-pregnancy Treatments
Get that pre-pregnancy body back!
Breast:
Augmentation
After they’ve had a child, many women feel that their body is no longer their own. As well meeting the demands of raising a young family and the sudden lack of spare time, pregnancy, childbirth and breastfeeding can all bring about unexpected changes which cannot be fully rectified with a healthy diet or regular exercise. For example, the breasts may lose volume and definition after a pregnancy.
Breast augmentation surgery aims to enhance the size and shape of a woman’s breast using implants. There are many reasons – cosmetic and medical – why women request this surgery and Joy Odili will carry out a comprehensive initial consultation to understand your reasons and expectations. She will also be pleased to answer your questions throughout every stage of the treatment process.
Reduction
Breast reduction surgery is often carried out for medical as well as aesthetic reasons. Large, oversized breasts can lead to poor posture, and pain and discomfort in the back and neck. Some women also feel embarrassed and self-conscious about their large breasts. This surgery aims to make the breasts more compact and reduce their volume, making them more in proportion with the rest of your body.
As a plastic surgeon with 15 years’ experience, Joy Odili has worked closely with many women requiring breast reduction surgery. She will give you professional and considered advice from your initial consultation onwards, managing every aspect of your treatment and aftercare.
Mastopexy (uplift)
Breast uplift surgery is often performed on women whose breasts have lost volume and sagged post-pregnancy. This surgery may be carried out on its own or at the same time as breast augmentation.
Joy Odili is skilled in this type of surgery and will work closely with you to realise your expectations and give you breasts that look more like they did in your pre-pregnancy years, making you feel more confident about your appearance.
Abdomen
Liposuction
Liposuction removes fat deposits from under the skin using a hollow stainless steel tube (cannula) with the assistance of a powerful vacuum. It can be used to remove fat from many different sites around the body – typically the thighs, abdomen, buttocks, or backs of the arms – depending on the results you wish to achieve.
Joy Odili holds an Aesthetic Surgery fellowship at the prestigious London Clinic and is a highly sought after plastic surgeon, skilled at producing excellent results using liposuction. You will be offered a comprehensive initial consultation with Joy to ascertain whether you are a suitable candidate for liposuction. She will take the time to understand your medical history and get a good appreciation of your needs and expectations.
Abdominoplasty
Abdominoplasty is commonly known as a ‘tummy tuck’ and is designed to remove excess fat and skin from the stomach. It can also be an effective method of restoring weakened or separated stomach muscles to create a smoother, sleeker abdominal profile.
Factors such as pregnancy, prior surgery, ageing, hereditary issues and significant fluctuations in weight can make it difficult, if not impossible, for some people to achieve a flat and well-toned abdomen through healthy diet and exercise. Abdominoplasty offers a highly personalised option for addressing this problem.
As with all surgical procedures, Joy Odili will concentrate on understanding your personal needs and managing your expectations. She will discuss every aspect of this treatment option and will be happy to answer any questions you may have.
