Ideal figures of stars after childbirth: photoshop or reality?

And the first, mother goddesses, post ideal photos on Instagram from the hospital. Like, for example, Oksana Samoilova – five days after the fourth cesarean, she looked like many nulliparous do not look. The question arises: is this generally legal?

It seems to many that it’s all about money, plastic and enviable genetics. Otherwise, how do the stars so quickly return to excellent shape after childbirth, without having any excess weight or stretch marks? Remember at least Svetlana Loboda – in the second week after the birth of Tilda’s daughter, the singer already performed, and she chose the most daring concert outfits.

Can I get rid of it?

According to experts, striae on the abdomen and in other areas during pregnancy or after childbirth appear in 80 percent of women. And show business stars are no exception. They just also have their own secrets of how to deal with such a phenomenon.

Of the cosmetic procedures, the following are very popular:

• mesotherapy – helps to improve skin relief;

• vacuum massage – helps to accelerate cell regeneration by enhancing blood circulation in the problem area;

• fractional thermolysis helps to remove even old stretch marks;

• ozone therapy;

• diamond microdermabrasion – a variant of mechanical grinding.

But all these manipulations have a number of contraindications, including:

• the presence of neoplasms,

• vein thrombosis of the lower extremities,

• acute infectious and viral diseases,

• postponed caesarean section (up to 6 months after surgery),

• pregnancy and breastfeeding.

Simple solutions

However, as usual, the problem is easier to prevent than to solve.

– During pregnancy, you need to drink plenty of fluids, move more, exercise moderately. Do not forget about proper nutrition – exclude fast carbohydrates, eat more seasonal fruits and vegetables, take vitamins for pregnant women. To strengthen blood vessels and improve blood circulation, you can take a contrast shower and massage with a dry brush.

The expert explains: stretch marks on the skin appear when the skin begins to stretch rapidly, and the collagen synthesized by the body is not enough. In other words, stretch marks are tears in the top layer of the skin. You can improve collagen production by adjusting your diet by adding collagen-rich foods to your diet.

“The menu should include fatty fish, bone broth, green leafy vegetables, gelatin, pumpkin seeds. By the way, by the amount of collagen contained in 100 g of the product, shark fin is in the lead, followed by fried eel fillet. Citrus fruits are also worth eating, as vitamin C is necessary for the body to produce collagen, ”says Yulia Mironchenko.

In addition, cosmetic collagen can be used to prevent stretch marks. To do this, melt it in a water bath and mix with a moisturizer. If stretch marks do appear, then do not tighten and start making applications, soaking a napkin or gauze with melted collagen and applying it to problem areas.

There are also various dietary supplements with collagen. But you should not take them yourself, you should definitely consult a doctor.

And remember: if you are not too lucky with genetics, there is a predisposition to stretch marks initially, then prevention may not help. However, is it so important when there are children? The stars from our photo gallery are sure: it doesn’t matter at all.
