Pregnancy can often cause unflattering side effects to the body – excess fat and skin, and loss of elasticity in the abdominal area. While some women regain their pre-pregnancy body after giving birth, there are others who struggle with shedding the pounds and getting back to a slimmer figure. Now, with celebrity moms bouncing back in just a few months, or even weeks, it adds pressure to those in the real world to get their bodies back to their pre-pregnancy shape.

This race to a slender body has sent many women to the plastic surgeon’s office in order to speed up the process. By undergoing a combination of body contouring procedures, termed a “Mommy Makeover,” patients may reach their desired goals when natural means of getting there have been exhausted. The most commonly performed procedure includes breast lift or breast augmentation surgery, liposuction, and tummy tuck surgery. Based on the amount of sagging in the breasts, either breast lift or augmentation surgery can be performed; in some circumstances, both may be recommended for optimal results. Stretched abdominal muscles may be repaired with a tummy tuck, and stubborn fat deposits can be removed with liposuction.
