X17 Image SourceBritney Spears is back in the news and all over the blogs. Of course, her recent club exploits with Paris Hilton were for publicity. What effect they may have on her child custody fight with K Fed the terrible all remains to be seen.
I borrowed this image from X17online as it has been posted elsewhere with comments like all she needs is to do a few more crunches.
WRONG!Britney is a petite woman who has just undergone childbirth (twice) along with large weight gain. She may or may not have had some surgery (tummy work) just following the birth of her second child. If she had cosmetic surgery at that time, the limitations of that timing are becoming evident. I have commented before on my
reasons for withholding tummy tuck at the time of childbirth.
The operation has limitations that are worsened by a pregnant patient's condition. Most pregnant women lose weight after the pregnancy and this leads to that which we see in the image above - hanging skin - if tummy tuck surgery is performed before the weight has stabilized. I prefer to perform tummy tuck surgery a few months after pregnancy when the weight as become stable and tissues have softened.
Britney does need to exercise and diet. Clubbing until the wee hours of the morning will not give her back her nice body of years gone by. Exercise will not take away or tighten loose skin. With this said, I think she looks much better than she did a few months ago, but she has a long way to go. I wish her well as she has made the first step in dumping Mr Dead Weight, her ex.
