In this video Dr. Rapaport breaks down exactly what happens to your body during and after pregnancy and what you can actually do about it.
Why pregnancy hormones cause everything to stretch and loosen — including your abdominal wall, fascia, and muscles
The difference between skin laxity, fat redistribution, and abdominal wall separation and why each one requires a different approach
How Softwave Body works to tighten skin non-invasively and why Dr. Rapaport recommends two sessions a month apart
What stretch marks actually are, why they look pink when new and white over time, and what treatments exist to address them
How to identify fatty disproportions after pregnancy and when CoolSculpting or liposuction may be the right solution
Why diet and exercise alone cannot tighten loose skin and what interventions actually work
The upholstery analogy — why even perfect abs cannot fix loose skin hanging over them
When a tummy tuck is the right answer, what the timing considerations are, and why it carries the highest risk of anything discussed
Why intervening early on the abdominal wall matters and how rotational exercises plus electrical stimulation like Pure Impact can help
Why a stronger core is not just aesthetic — it is essential for function as a new mother
