Hello,
Indentations after
pregnancy commonly occur due to bad posture, gain in weight,
hormonal imbalances, etc. Focus on gentle, core-strengthening exercises, maintain good posture, and be mindful of your skin’s health. Maintain hygiene. Consult a physical therapist specializing in postnatal care, or a
dermatologist or plastic surgeon if you want faster correction. They can evaluate your specific case and recommend targeted treatments or therapies.
Gradual
weight loss can reduce excess fat in the body, helping reduce the indentation. Take plenty of protein to support muscle repair and growth. Focus on whole foods and avoid excessive processed foods. Stay hydrated to improve skin health and elasticity. Gentle massage with
vitamin E in the affected area can stimulate circulation and potentially promote skin health.
Micro-needling or radiofrequency can help with skin tightening, if needed your dermatologist will recommend such treatment. Correct your posture, stand tall with your shoulders back and down. Avoid slouching, which can make the indentation more prominent. Do regular exercises like pelvic tilts, leg slides, lifts, etc.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Nupur K., General & Family Physician
