Can TruSculpt be Done Over a C-Section?

The modern people now live in a Kardashian-led world, where everything must be Instagram-perfect. Instagram-perfect is defined as flawless, no-speck-of-dust beauty. 

The only dust that should probably be on the people’s faces are well-contoured, large-lipped makeup looks. 

They are all Mrs. Potatoheads or on the rocky road leading to that. We crave that perfection that entails painful and unnecessary sacrifice—all for a few compliments from people you’ve never met. 

People are now all afraid to go through life and be touched by the natural and timely events. 

Everyone is now obsessed with showing off our bodies, and eventually showing to people that it has no power to change for the negative (to gain weight) or for the positive (to lose weight). 

Still, the curvy silhouettes have now been in trend due to the liberated body positivity campaign around the world. 

Still, everyone wants to achieve the beauty that they desire, or even just relive the beauty that they deemed, “once was.” 

Post-pregnancy plastic and cosmetic surgery patients have been one of the largest percentage of the aesthetic medical arts market this 2017. 

According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, liposuction and tummy tuck procedures were part of the top five most-performed cosmetic surgeries, with the prior having over 240,000 procedures, a 5% increase from 2016, and the latter having around 120,000, a 2% increase from 2016. 

Although not part of the top five, minimally-invasive and nonsurgical procedures are now on the rise, with a whopping 20% increase over the year of 2017. 

Among all the reasons for undergoing these aesthetic medical processes, post-pregnancy body enhancement is one of the most common. 

Dubbed the “Mom Job,” and even known as the “Mommy Makeover,” post-pregnancy procedures have become highly common due to the large influence of social media, which puts pressure on new moms to have the perfect post-pregnancy body, or to attain the pre-pregnancy fit body. 

These new moms are pressured into doing whatever they can like going directly back to the gym or dieting, instead of keeping a healthy lifestyle for childcare and even post-childbirth, which, although not altogether unhealthy, is showing how wide and deep the influence and power of social media is. 

The likes of Instagram or catalogue models or even celebrities have shown off a great amount of body-positive post-pregnancy bodily deformations or effects, such as enormous weight gain, with, of course, the stretch marks to go with it. 

Postpartum plastic surgeries are very common these, especially because of the height of recent childbirths, which is majorly caesarean sections. 

New moms who have undergone caesarean section are a larger percentage of plastic and cosmetic surgery patients due to the caesarean section’s effect on their body, such as scarring and deformation. 

One of the biggest and most well-known postpartum effects that are reasons to have undergone aesthetic medical treatments is the c-section shelf, which is also known as the cesarean pouch. 

As said above, there has been a huge amount of increase in plastic surgeries done to enhance postpartum bodies, and there has now been a high increase in using non-invasive procedures to address these postpartum medical case, because of the procedures’ quickness and minimal invasiveness, plus for a lesser cost. 

In addition, here are more of the reasons why non-surgical aesthetic medical processes are more preferred than surgical: 

• Little-to-no-injuries: Non-surgical procedures do not require incisions or sometimes, injections, and so there is almost no deep-skin intrusions. 

• Less hospital/clinic time: Numerous minimally invasive cosmetic procedures are done in separate or even single sessions, each of which do not even last more than a few or a single hour. 

• Less/no pain: Because there are no incisions made on the patient’s body, there is almost or no discomfort. 

• Less/ no tissue damage: Due to modern technology, newer non-surgical procedures have a regulated amount of fat reduction in process. 

These non-invasive treatments are suitable for about almost anyone due to its simple procedure, yet there are some conditions one has to follow or comply with to be a candidate of these procedures. A few of these reasons include:  

• If a patient is in an ongoing pregnancy. (all trimesters are included)
• If a patient’s selected body part for body sculpting has an open wound or unhealed incisions.
• If a patient wears an internal defibrillator (or cardiac pacemaker).
• If a patient’s selected area for body sculpting contains a medical implant.
• If a patient has fluctuating/unstable weight.

Among all these non-invasive medical aesthetic processes, one has stood out in the past couple of years, and is hurriedly reaching the top of the medical market. 

The TruSculpt by the aesthetic medical production and distribution company in San Francisco, USA. Originally just TruSculpt, this machine developed into TruSculpt 3D in 2017, and finally, the most recent, the TruSculpt iD in 2018. 

It is now the epitome of being the future of the field of the plastic and cosmetic surgery.  

The TruSculpt iD is a non-invasive fat reduction treatment that utilizes monopolar radio frequency technology. 

Its current version has six (6) handheld devices that can be used on different selected regions of skin to use at all at the same time, which has been led people who have used TruSculpt-id fat reduction to call it one of the “more personalized,” and “efficient” cosmetic procedures. 

It takes over only around fifteen (15) minutes to finish a single session. 

After a single session, although there is no healing period due to the little or no discomfort at all that it felt by the patient, it takes over three weeks to a month to see the final result. 

The eliminated fat cells are flushed away by the body in that time period. 

While unsuitable for curing obesity, using the TruScult iD has an average amount of 24% fat reduction, which is only then evident as time goes by after the procedure.  

This treatment is applicable to almost anyone, yet it has its limitations. And with the rise of the “Mommy Makeover,” will TruSculpt-iD be one of the first names to call when the generation of new moms are read to get back their old bodies? And before anything else, is TruSculpt iD applicable to c-section moms? Can it be possibly done over a caesarean section postpartum body? 

Well, according to Dr. Nina, G, M.D. of Miami Aesthetic Institute, yes. 

“At Miami Aesthetic Institute, we have treated mothers who have a cesarean section and it has caused no issues so far.”

Although that is the case, there some provision to keep from harm’s way.  

• New moms must wait after six months to undergo any bodily enhancement procedures, unless it is a matter of physical health matters. This is because the human body re-adapts itself after pregnancy and tries to go back to its former for, meaning the patients would have to have stable weight. This waiting time would also help the skin to tighten itself once more, especially if there are some major sagging of skin, as well as giving the body some time to heal, after the pregnancy. 

• The postpartum TruSculpt iD procedure is recommended for women who have no more further plans on having children. This is because if women are still planning on giving birth, then when they do, they are back to square one with the new mommy bods. So, because it will be a repetitive waste of time and money, only women with no further plans on childbirth are advised to go through with postpartum bodily enhancements. 

No matter how we look like, our flaws make us who we are. 

They are trademarks of our existence, of our uniqueness. And I know everyone has a problem with the saying, “We are all special,” for if we are all special, then being special is not so special after all. 

But where’s the problem in that? We were all born to stand out in this stage of a world, but there is no limit to how many spotlights there can be. 

What a bright world that would be. But still, we are on the adventure of finding the most perfect person we can possible be, even going the farthest lengths to get a fuller butt, a larger set of lips, or in this case, the easiest post-childbirth body to show off on Instagram. 

This is why the plastic and cosmetic surgery is booming: human’s desire of perfection and constant obsession with their looks. 

And even if it isn’t as bad as it seems, nobody else should be able to judge someone else based on what they look like, and nobody is in the right to judge if someone has gotten any types of surgical or non-surgical enhancements. 

There is nothing to judge because we are people, looking for the best look with the least pain. That’s where TruSculpt comes in to save the day.
