During breastfeeding, many women notice that the body begins to return to measurements close to those from before pregnancy, but one specific region may show notable differences. The butt may appear less projected, with less volume or even more flaccid, even when the weight on the scale is already close to that of the pre-gestational period.
The explanation for these changes lies in the body composition alterations that occur during pregnancy and can extend into the months following childbirth. These transformations go beyond simple weight loss or gain.
According to Dr. Chris Lima, from Clínica Michelon in João Pessoa, who works with gluteal harmonization and body remodeling, the change can have different causes and is not necessarily related only to the amount of fat. He explains that in the postpartum period, women can lose fat, muscle mass, and undergo other structural changes that affect the contour of the glutes.
