Mommy Makeover
In a woman life journey, Motherhood is the essence of what it means to be a female. For all of the challenges and difficulties that raising a child entails, nothing can compare to holding that beautiful baby in your arms and feeling its pure innocence, warmth, and wide-eyed wonderment.
But when Mummy takes some time off to have a baby, she must often return to the workforce, which is competitive and places a premium on youth and attractiveness.
Childbirth is a major ordeal, and so is nursing and they both leave their mark on Mummy body. After baby is born, abdominal muscles are stretched, weight is often difficult to lose, and breasts may droop or sag. Nowadays, women have become empowered thanks to the tools of modern medicine, and the Mummy Makeover has fast become a very popular option for mothers wishing to get back their pre-pregnancy good looks.

Changes on the body from Pregnancy, Child Birth and Breast Feeding
Weight gain is the most visible change after pregnancy. The areas usually affected are the tummy, hips and thighs. Despite making a conscious effort to lose weight, some of the fat deposits can be resistant to diet and excercises. Fat deposits can also occur in the arms and the back.
The enlargement of the abdomen weakens the muscles and this causes a prominent paunch, which in many cases can only be corrected surgically. The breasts lose volume and tone after breast feeding is complete, leaving a deflated sagging look. Stretch marks are probably the most frustrating after effect of the bulging tummy. The stretch marks occur due to breaks in the elastic fibers in the deeper layers of skin due to the rapid inflation of the tummy. The marks then become prominent after the tummy is deflated. Skin Changes seen commonly are melasma or blotchiness, excessive Acne. Changes in the genital area after child birth especially vaginal delivery causes the muscles in the vagina to lose their tone. The labia enlarge in size and the area above the vagina, the mons, becomes enlarged with fat deposits. Sexual function may become less enjoyable due to the decreased muscle tone and tightness.

Tummy tuck
removes excess abdominal skin and fat; tightens the tummy area. Liposuction alone does not get rid of the appearance of hanging abdominal skin, which is caused by the severe stretching of the stomach muscles in childbirth. Tummy tuck not only corrects the problem by tightening the lax abdominal muscles but also reduces the visibility of stretch marks by actually removal of the affected skin.
