Stretched skin on the abdomen



rastyanulas-kozha-na-zhivote-bEdhl.webp

At 28, I consider myself a young and very attractive girl. For as long as I can remember, I was plump, but I was never ashamed of myself. During pregnancy, I focused on proper nutrition and routine and, as a result, after giving birth I was able to lose weight. The extra pounds have been replaced by a new problem - loose skin on the abdomen.

The content of the article:

Despite the fact that caring for a newborn takes a lot of time, I still found a way to solve the problem of sagging skin. I want to share 9 methods that I tried on myself. Let me make a reservation right away - all methods are good in combination, but individually they are not very effective.

To tighten my stomach, I first revised my diet

It is important to include in your daily diet those foods that will nourish your skin as efficiently as possible. Only if the skin receives the proper amount of the “right” proteins, fats and carbohydrates can you count on its rapid tightening. It is important to maintain the correct balance of all the main elements. Since I was a nursing mother when I started struggling with sagging belly, it was important for me that the dietary recommendations did not conflict with the nutritional advice for a pregnant woman.



rastyanulas-kozha-na-zhivote-sTCYFAW.webp

I turned to a nutritionist with questions about proper nutrition. It turned out that the advice is quite simple. They concern each element separately.

  1. Squirrels. You can and should eat proteins of both animal and plant origin (poultry, meat, fish, legumes, etc.). It is important to consume no more than the recommended amount - up to 2 grams per kilogram of weight. And this is not for one meal, but the daily norm.
  2. Fats.It is better to give preference to fats of vegetable origin. I chose extra virgin olive oil, which is rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids. The daily norm is about 30 grams. (not less).
  3. Carbohydrates. The diet should include mainly complex carbohydrates, for example, whole wheat flour, raw vegetables, cereals, etc. I used fruits and honey as simple carbohydrates.

The variety of food pleased me so much that I got my husband hooked on such food. My tummy began to tighten, and he clearly showed progress in losing weight (the “beer” belly began to go away).

Proper drinking regimen to help my tummy

Even adjusting to eating was not as difficult as forcing myself to drink the right amount of water. The daily norm is at least two liters. The bottom line is that when you start to feel thirsty, it's already a sign of dehydration. It is important to avoid moments when you feel thirsty and pour water into yourself regularly.

There is one more nuance. 2 liters is pure water without gases; all other liquid that enters the body in the form of soups and juices does not count.

In addition, when drinking a cup of tea, you should add another cup equal to the volume of tea drunk to the recommended daily two liters of water. For a cup of coffee you will need to add two cups of water to the same 2 liters. Natural juices can be drunk only diluted with water 50 to 50 (it is better to give preference to juices without sugar).

Cosmetics for a sagging belly after losing weight

I found information about them on English-language resources. I was pleasantly surprised that we specialized creams and scrubs are sold. Initially, I tried treatments in a beauty salon. I was promised that the wraps would work wonders. Thanks to the fact that you can buy the products in the store and do the wraps yourself, you can save money and make your skin more elastic.



rastyanulas-kozha-na-zhivote-CRuPH.webp

Now my procedures with cosmetics are carried out for prevention (this definitely won’t make things worse). I do this - first I use a scrub, then I do a wrap and at the end I apply a special cream.

I started healthy habits and my sagging belly began to go away gradually!

To tighten your skin, it is very good to get into the habit of:

  1. taking a contrast shower;
  2. rubbing the flabby area with ice cubes (I made ice cubes with the addition of essential oils and citrus juices);
  3. quitting smoking;
  4. minimum alcohol consumption;
  5. minimum time spent in the sun.

The latter was especially difficult for me, since I am a sunbather. But, as they say, a beautiful tummy is more important than a bronze tan with saggy skin. When taking a contrast shower, direct intense jets of water to problem areas (I directed not only to the area of ​​the sagging belly, but also to the upper part of the arms, where the skin also sagged).

I went in for sports and the skin on my stomach tightened up.

Regularity and the close gaze of the coach are important here. If you do not have the skills to work with different muscle groups, do not even try to tighten the abdominal skin yourself, because you will simply waste time aimlessly. With a baby in my arms, it was not entirely convenient for me to go to training three times a week, as recommended. I acted quite cunningly and economically.



rastyanulas-kozha-na-zhivote-OuhwHdK.webp

I bought a subscription to the sports club for a year and agreed with the trainer that I would go there two or three times a month. My trainer shows me the basic techniques that I use before my next trip to the club. Thus, I can work out at home every day and perform only those exercises that are recommended by an experienced trainer.

The main elements were:

  1. bar;
  2. abdominal exercises (a little different from those that were once in school, since you don’t have to completely lift your entire body off the floor);
  3. step steps (I had to buy a special platform for this).

Every month the number of exercises was added, and some were completely replaced. The trainer chose the program for me individually.

An excellent massage therapist made my tummy firm!

It is worth saying that this is one of the most enjoyable ways. XA good massage therapist can be found not only in a beauty salon. There are excellent specialists who work on the road. For me, this was the best option, since I did not have to look for someone to leave the child with.

Ultimately, I tried it on myself:

Complex action lymphatic drainage massage – it adds to your overall health. They moved lymph through my body so well that even the veins in my legs stopped tormenting me (after giving birth, varicose veins increased and the deep veins began to hurt). The skin tightened not only in the abdominal area. I didn’t really like the cupping massage, so after a couple of sessions the massage therapist and I replaced it with a tightening one. The feel is pleasant, the efficiency is excellent.

How I chose oils over expensive cosmetics and lost my tummy

This method can be considered “folk” and is an excellent alternative to expensive cosmetics. Castor oil is considered the most effective for skin tightening. To create a product that needs to be rubbed into the skin, you need to take castor and lavender oils and add a few drops of natural lemon juice to them. Using the recipe 2-3 times a week, you can notice an increase in firmness and firmness in the abdominal area.



rastyanulas-kozha-na-zhivote-mRODE.webp

Essential oils, primarily lavender, can be used perfectly as a bath additive. A ten-minute bath in not very hot water + 1-2 teaspoons of essential oil is a great option for everyone. Inexpensive, accessible, pleasant and effective.

Almond oil is best taken internally. To be effective, one teaspoon is enough to drink before bed. The duration of the course can be any, it certainly won’t be worse.

A toned belly means no sulfates or chlorine!

Any chemicals, and sulfates and chlorine in particular, have a very detrimental effect on the elasticity, healthy appearance and firmness of the skin.

In view of this, it is worth following several recommendations:

  1. After swimming in the poolwhere the water is enriched with chlorine, immediately take a shower using specialized products. Please note that the shower gel should be moisturizing.
  2. Almost all budget body care products contain sulfates that are harmful to the skin. This applies to both shower gels and shampoos, body milk, etc. Sulfates overly dry and irritate the skin, which spoils it and leads to premature aging, sagging, etc. Try not to skimp on cosmetics and purchase sulfate-free products.

In general, try to study the composition of all cosmetics that will be used, this will help you maintain youthful and elastic skin for many years.

How I fell in love with yoga and secured the effect of a toned stomach

Initially, I treated yoga as something newfangled that would very soon lose its relevance in society. But over the years it has become increasingly stronger in our country. Even the trainer from the gym recommended trying classes for beginners.



rastyanulas-kozha-na-zhivote-WAdPK.webp

I read in one of the magazines that exactly Yoga is an excellent preventative against sagging and a solution to the problem for those who have loose skin. I've been working out at home for six months now. I started with video lessons for beginners, and now I’m already looking at more complex asanas.

As a result, thanks to an integrated approach, I was able to not only consolidate the result of unexpected sudden weight loss, but also tighten sagging skin on my stomach, arms and legs. But the best part is that my overall health and appearance have improved. Now I can say that I don’t even look 28. I’m not embarrassed to wear a swimsuit and go to the beach.

It is not always possible to get an ideal body without flaws after losing weight. Flabbiness and folds create an effect known as fat skinny, i.e., thick skinny. If you know how to tighten the skin on your stomach after childbirth or losing weight, then becoming the owner of your dream figure is as easy as shelling pears.

Causes of stretching and sagging skin

First of all, the problem lies in skin type and genetic predispositions. The main reason is the slowdown in metabolic processes. The epidermis does not receive the required amount of vitamins and minerals, and blood circulation is impaired. As a result, folds and various sagging appear. The area in the lower abdomen is especially susceptible to this.



rastyanulas-kozha-na-zhivote-NvYkCq.webp

Loose skin after caesarean section

Causes of sagging epidermis:

  1. Slowing down the production of hyaluronic acid, which is the main “building” material for collagen fibers;
  2. A sedentary lifestyle, which negatively affects blood circulation in the lower body;
  3. Sudden weight loss or childbirth. If the skin has been in a tense state for a long time, then it is not surprising that when this factor is eliminated, it will sag. After a natural birth, the tightening process rarely takes more than six months, but after a cesarean section, the tummy may never return to its original shape.

Non-surgical methods

Non-invasive skin tightening techniques are good because they are safe and free from unpleasant sensations: the integrity of the epidermis is not compromised, the entire process takes place exclusively on its surface. These methods include:

  1. Diet. This means not limiting yourself to consuming certain foods, but eating right. In order for the body to repair damaged fibers, it needs to receive a large amount of nutrients. These are complex carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins and minerals;
  2. Exercises. Fitness trainers and coaches in aerobics, stretching, shaping, etc., have developed hundreds of complexes aimed at restoring tone. Of course, effectiveness will manifest itself exclusively in combination with normalizing nutrition and improving the quality of life;

    rastyanulas-kozha-na-zhivote-SwueRE.webp

    Abdominal exercises
  3. Wraps. They help speed up metabolism and help to locally influence weakened areas of the epidermis. There are several types of procedure: cold and hot. The first is aimed at strengthening existing elastane fibers, and the second at improving the metabolism of nutrients;

    rastyanulas-kozha-na-zhivote-ksRYl.webp

    Belly wraps
  4. Scrubbing. It is considered one of the most effective ways to get rid of stretch marks. When performed regularly, they help smooth out the upper layer of the epidermis, normalize the body’s self-cleansing process, and improve the “breathing” of the skin;

    rastyanulas-kozha-na-zhivote-LTXiJNH.webp

    Scrubbing
  5. Massage. Like wraps, they significantly speed up metabolism and allow you to get rid of the most difficult type of fat - subcutaneous fat. To improve the effect, various oil mixtures, acidic components, vitamins and others are used.

Selection of diet and drinking regime

There are several fundamental rules that must be followed. First: eat only when you are hungry. Second: watch your food.



rastyanulas-kozha-na-zhivote-rppAWML.webp

The basis of proper nutrition

To completely restart the skin regeneration system and saturate it from the inside with useful substances, it is important to introduce the following products into the diet:

  1. Fruits and fresh vegetables. The main emphasis should be on apples (iron), carrots (carotene) and currants (antioxidants);
  2. Protein-rich foods. First of all, these are homemade eggs, chicken fillet, turkey, and fish meat. To improve digestibility, it is important to combine them with green vegetables;
  3. Polyunsaturated fatty acids. They are found in huge quantities in healthy olive oil. To add variety to your diet, you can also try drinking flaxseed or sesame oil in the morning on an empty stomach;
  4. To renew collagen production, retinol is very important. It is found in delicacies (red caviar, red fish, liver), vegetables and berries (pumpkin, raspberries, strawberries, cherries), and some fruits. Margarine and butter are offered as cheap analogues, but it is worth remembering that these are heavy fats that may help restore the skin, but will be largely deposited on the body;
  5. Vitamin B12 is essential for cell renewal. It is found in beans, beans, peas, shrimp, mussels and various dried fruits. Walnuts and pine nuts are considered powerful sources.

To make your skin elastic, also don’t forget to drink. It is best to drink plain still water - it cleanses the stomach and intestines, helps remove toxins and harmful compounds from the body. Alternatively, you can use green tea or fruit infusions (without sugar).

In addition, introduce the rule of always starting and ending the day with a glass of water. This will reduce stomach acidity and help improve the quality of your diet.

Effective exercises for tummy tuck

The most effective way to remove sagging skin on your stomach after losing weight is to perform special exercises. It is important to understand the process of this method. It will not become a magic wand that, with a wave, will eliminate all the flabby membrane. Instead, playing sports will help restore muscle tone, due to which lifting will occur.

Recommended exercises for tummy tuck with video:

  1. Plank. The simplest and most effective. You need to lay a rug on the floor and lie down, resting your elbows and toes on it. You need to stay in this position for at least 20 seconds. Try to extend the time each time. Do 3 approaches;

    rastyanulas-kozha-na-zhivote-UlEssXM.webp

    Plank
  2. Press. If you go to the gym, be sure to pump up your lower body while hanging. If not, then simply raise your torso and perform a “fold.” “Fold” is an exercise that combines simultaneous lifting of the legs and upper body. To succeed, you need to do at least 20 times in 3 approaches;

    rastyanulas-kozha-na-zhivote-dAVeC.webp

    Fold technique
  3. Jumping rope. This is a fun and very powerful cardio workout. It speeds up your heart rate, lifts your mood, strengthens your leg muscles and eliminates cellulite on your thighs and sides. In addition, it “forces” the stretched line of the waist and abdomen to tighten. The advantage of the method is the absence of contraindications. Unlike abs, you can jump rope even a month after pregnancy;

    rastyanulas-kozha-na-zhivote-XZocOMi.webp

  4. Strength exercises. Such tightening methods are suitable only for sagging skin after losing weight. Constant bending over and high loads will help tighten the skin on your back and legs, strengthen your muscles and give your figure definition.

Masks and wraps

Cosmetology is also extremely important in eliminating sagging. The easiest way to tighten the abdominal skin at home is with masks and wraps. Honey-containing products have proven themselves especially good.



rastyanulas-kozha-na-zhivote-McUTOOF.webp

Honey for wrapping

But there are more affordable options:

  1. Seaweed wrap. Every pharmacy sells dried seaweed. To use, you just need to dilute them with water to the consistency of rich sour cream. If this method does not work, then buy fresh kelp sheets;
  2. Badyaga and mumiyo act extremely harshly, but quickly. Badyaga is a sponge-like algae that, when applied to the epidermis, begins to irritate it. As a result, the top layer of skin peels off, and the body receives a command for urgent regeneration. A great way to combat stretch marks and small folds. Mumiyo works similarly, but without removing the spinous layer;
  3. Coffee wraps, masks and scrubs. Coffee is a strong antioxidant. It cleanses the skin and makes it smooth and velvety. For wrapping, it is recommended to use only finely ground grounds. For scrubbing, coarsely ground grains are more preferable. The level of doneness does not matter;
  4. Clay masks. Blue clay guarantees a lifting effect, improved blood circulation in the skin of the abdomen and saturation of cells with minerals. In addition, this is the cheapest method of all listed.

Before and after wraps

Surgical skin tightening

It is not always possible to solve the problem of sagging epidermis using traditional methods. Many reviews claim that even after several years, sagging skin on the abdomen cannot be removed with anything. In this case, invasive techniques come to the rescue.

What medical methods are used to tighten the skin of the body:

  1. Implantation of gold threads. Necessary for sagging large numbers of fibers or muscle tears;
  2. “Sewing up” the press or lipoabdominoplasty. Rarely, but still, there is a clinical case when the abdominal muscles are torn after childbirth. After this, any exercise is prohibited and the only way to restore the flatness of the stomach is to sew up the gap in the navel area;

  3. Lifting. These are various operations aimed at artificial lifting. The idea is simple: certain areas of the skin are pulled over others, resulting in a natural effect. Sometimes, excess epidermis is cut out;
  4. Mesotherapy. This is piercing the skin with a special roller and introducing a small amount of active substances under the upper layer of the epidermis. In particular, hyaluronic acid.

How to tighten your skin after childbirth

The most difficult time to tighten excess skin is after the second birth or cesarean section. Here you need to use all the methods described above (except for the operation). Although, if necessary, doctors prescribe invasive interventions.

Natural recovery process

Tips on how to quickly tighten excess skin after pregnancy and childbirth:

  1. Try to sleep on your stomach. This will relax the already tense fibers and help the body direct all its strength to restore them;
  2. Make a schedule of procedures and follow it. Let’s say you do abdominal massage twice a week, special exercises three times (only after the doctor’s permission) and wraps two more times. At the same time, a correct lifestyle is maintained and the kitchen culture is controlled;
  3. Wear a postpartum bandage. This is necessary for the same reason as why you need to sleep on your stomach;
  4. Use professional cosmetics. Find a suitable cream to tighten and nourish the skin and apply it to the skin every evening after showering and scrubbing. There is no need to think that loud slogans are just a cunning marketing ploy. Many well-known companies (Weleda, Vichy) offer truly working products;
  5. Walk a lot. To make your skin elastic again and your figure toned, you need to walk as much as possible. Constant loads on the lower body strengthen blood vessels, accelerate blood flow and normalize metabolism.

Animal protein is found in cottage cheese, eggs, fish and meat. It is recommended to give preference to products with a minimum level of fat content, as well as dietary meat (chicken, veal and rabbit) and fish.



rastyanulas-kozha-na-zhivote-kSFxtKw.webp

Fats - required element diet. However, professional nutritionists recommend minimizing the amount of animal fat consumed by replacing them with vegetable oil. This product contains polyunsaturated fatty acids that have a beneficial effect on the skin. Every day you need to consume at least 20-40 g of vegetable oil as part of side dishes, cereals and salads. Experts also advise avoiding margarine and other fats of synthetic origin, which can not only lead to the development of cellulite, but are also harmful to the general condition of the body.

Carbohydrates are a source of energy and vigor. However, they must be chosen wisely. Do not get carried away with the consumption of simple carbohydrates contained in baked goods, sweets and other confectionery products. Can benefit the body only complex carbohydrates, which can be found in honey, fruits and vegetables, cereals and even pasta made from durum wheat.

This activates the blood circulation function and increases the tone of the epidermis. To enhance the effect, problem areas can be wiped with a hard-bristled washcloth at this time.

Massage using special preparations is also effective in solving the problem. Today there are a lot of such products on sale, and buy massage lotions and creams are available in almost all cosmetics stores. To soften and moisturize the skin, you can use ordinary baby cream.

The cream is applied to the skin of the abdomen, after which it is treated with circular pinching movements until it turns red. The session ends smooth stroking movements.

They are especially useful for those women who are faced with the problem of a sagging tummy after the birth of a baby. But such activities should be started at least 40 days after birth, so that the uterus has time to return to normal, otherwise there is a risk of complications.

Before you start training, you should consult a doctor who will recommend the most suitable complexesaimed at strengthening and increasing the tone of the abdominal muscles. Here are a few of the most popular exercise options:

  1. The plank is one of the most effective and simple exercises. To perform it, you should take the so-called “lying position”. The muscles should be in a tense state. During the exercise, the limbs should be completely straight, and the body should be parallel to the floor surface. You need to spend at least 20 seconds in this position. After some time, the duration can be increased.
  2. Vacuum. Exhale all the air from your lungs, then hold your breath and draw in your stomach as much as possible. Hold this position for a few seconds. Do ten to fifteen repetitions.

Swimming and aerobics give good results, so go to the pool and move as much as possible.

Treatments at home

At home, you can tighten the skin on your stomach using masks and wraps made from natural ingredients. These procedures have a beneficial effect on the skin. In addition, they do not lead to side effects. The most popular components for wraps include natural honey, special clay and seaweed. You can use the following recipes:

  1. Wrap with honey. Heat two tablespoons of the product in a watery bath, add four to six drops of citrus oil or half a dessert spoon of olive oil. The warm composition is applied in a thin layer to problematic areas and wrapped in polyethylene, creating a greenhouse effect. You need to stay in this position for at least one hour. After the procedure, you should take a warm shower.
  2. Laminaria (seaweed) can be bought at any pharmacy. At home, you can use them to make both cold and hot wraps. For the last option, the algae must be filled with water, the temperature of which should not exceed 40 degrees. Cold wrap requires water at room temperature. Then the algae is simply placed on the skin, covered with film and insulated. You need to stay under the blanket for thirty to fifty minutes, then take a shower and treat the surface of the skin with a moisturizer.
  3. Vinegar wrap is considered the most affordable and easiest procedure. To perform it, you just need to moisten gauze in a 9 percent vinegar solution, wring it out and place it on the problem areas. The top of the stomach should be wrapped in film and covered with a blanket for about thirty to forty minutes.
  4. Masks made from cosmetic clay, wraps with essential oils, plant extracts and red pepper have a good effect. Contraindications include only individual intolerance to the ingredients in the wrap or mask.

Hardware techniques (non-surgical)

Beauty salons today offer their clients a variety of techniques to quickly tighten the skin of the abdomen, eliminate sagging and improve muscle tone. The most popular methods of tummy tuck are:

  1. LPG massage. For this procedure, special computer equipment is used, which is assigned a special treatment program, taking into account the individual characteristics of the patient. The device is equipped with a roller attachment that generates negative pressure upon contact with the skin. Thanks to this, soft tissues are sucked into the chamber, inside which they are kneaded. As a result, fat cells are destroyed, lymph flow and blood circulation are stimulated, muscle tone increases, and the skin becomes more toned.
  2. Electromyostimulation. Special plates are placed on problem areas, through which a weak electric current passes. As a result, the nerve endings become irritated and the muscle fibers begin to be stimulated. Electromyostimulation perfectly helps in getting rid of sagging skin of the abdomen, allowing you to return to its previous shape after the birth of a child.
  3. Lipolysis. This procedure can be ultrasound, electrical or radiofrequency. During electrolipolysis, the skin is exposed to electrode needles, the polarity of which periodically changes, causing a change in the electrical potential of the cell membrane. As a result, the body begins to actively break down fats (lipids), stimulating lymph flow and blood circulation.
  4. Bioreinforcement is another effective method, based on the introduction under the skin of special preparations, which include hyaluronic acid. With the help of these compositions, a viscous frame is formed, creating a lifting effect. In addition, hyaluronic acid makes the skin more elastic and firm. Procedures using mesothreads have a similar effect.

The operation is the most radical method of getting rid of sagging and sagging abdomen. Few people decide to undergo it, since surgical intervention is extremely traumatic, and the rehabilitation period is quite long and difficult. In addition, complications may occur after surgery.

It should be understood that plastic surgery is used only as a last resort. In order to remain attractive, use the above recommendations, and then you will like your mirror image.
