Liposuction: What to Expect From a Mommy Makeover By Abigail Aaronson At Isnare.com Ezine Articles

No more pre-natal vitamins, no more stretchy maternity pants, no more breast feeding and getting up every two hours in the middle of the night. Sounds like heaven doesn't it? You love the kids you have, but now you're done. And frankly, it's a good thing because you don't think your body can take anymore of the punishment of pregnancy. Yes, it's a glorious event, but your body has been put through the ringer. You keep hearing about something called a "Mommy Makeover" in the news and from your friends and wonder if it's for you. What kind of results can you get from the increasingly popular concept of a "Mommy Makeover?"

Let's take it one area of the body at a time:

> The breasts - They really go through a lot during and after pregnancy. They grow as the baby grows, fill with milk and then nurture the baby for a year or so. They used to be so perky, but now they droop and sway instead of jiggle. Depending on your situation, your mommy makeover can lift, reduce or enhance your breasts after pregnancy. A lift can be done in conjunction with a reduction or implants depending on what you need. Liposuction can also take care of excess fat in the area.

> The tummy- This is where the baby grows and every time you have a child, the skin is stretched and at a point it stops bouncing back. Elasticity and muscle tone are lost during pregnancy, but a tummy tuck can take care of that. The surgeon removes the excess skin and even tightens the abdominal muscles giving you a smoother tummy. Liposuction can also be performed to get rid of those stubborn fatty pockets around the abdomen that just wouldn't come off.

> The thighs and buttocks- Like everything else, these get bigger too and it doesn't help that fat naturally tends to collect in these areas. But, just like the breast, your surgeon can lift these areas by getting rid of excess skin and tightening the area. Again, liposuction can be used to help give better and smoother results.

> The stretch marks- Unfortunately, these can occur all over as a result of pregnancy, not just the tummy area. They can appear on the thighs, breasts and buttocks and are quite unsightly. There is a laser removal procedure that can greatly reduce or eliminate the appearance of stretch marks. Basically, the laser zaps the treated area and vaporizes the tissue. It should completely heal within a week or so and new skin takes the place of the dark stretch mark area. It may take several treatments to achieve the results you want and it may not completely remove the marks, but it will greatly improve the appearance.

A mommy makeover is like giving your body an overhaul, but it is recommended only if you are finished having children. There is no reason you can't be a mom and be sexy at the same time. A confident and happy mom can only be good for the children! So, if you are considering this, make sure you find the right surgeon. He should be a board certified plastic surgeon and have license to work in your state. Talk to him about what you want to achieve and he can help you make a plan for your transformation. A mommy makeover can't be done overnight, but when the results are in- you will be one hot mama.
