October Spotlight - Building Confidence in Your Body with Dr. Michelle Sieffert
I was so grateful to get to sit down with to discuss the partnership between pelvic floor therapy and plastic surgery to help people build more confidence in the function and aesthetics of their body!
We focused our discussion primarily around postpartum people experiencing diastasis rectus abdominus (DRA) and Dr. Sieffert shares with us what to expect with an abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) in terms of post operative recovery time frames, what is done in the actual procedures and what most people were surprised about afterwards.
We also touched on a little on the “mom guilt” people experience when taking time for themselves and the need to combat this in order for us to serve others.
