These 3 Cosmetic Procedures Can Give You Six-Pack Abs. Here’s How.
Aside from leading a healthy lifestyle, one of the best things you can do to ensure healthy, youthful-looking skin in the future is to practice a solid skincare routine. You have your cleanser, toner, serums, and daily moisturizers. Maybe you apply a face mask a couple times a week. Good right? Well, you might be missing an extra anti-aging step: night cream.
Achieving a six-pack can be especially challenging for women who’ve had children. Pregnancy often causes the rectus abdominis muscles to spread apart—a condition known as diastis recti. For many moms, those muscles will never come together post-baby without surgical intervention, notes New York City board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Melissa Doft. (She adds that no amount of core-crushing workouts can repair diastasis recti). Ensuring these muscles are properly aligned is the first step in scoring a six-pack. During a tummy tuck, the gap between them is closed as the muscles are plicated, or sewn together with sutures, for a flatter, firmer effect.
