The female body is an amazing vessel and a true work of art. Childbirth is nothing short of a true miracle, but whether a woman has one or many children, often her body does not snap back to its original shape once the pregnancy and breastfeeding is over. Sometimes diet and exercise simply are not enough to help moms:

• Firm loose or sagging skin
• Eliminate excess fat
• Regain their pre-pregnancy bodies
• Renew their self esteem

Mommy makeovers are an effective way for healthy moms to firm, lift, and smooth their bodies. There are a variety of cosmetic procedures that can achieve beautiful results, such as a tummy tuck, liposuction, breast augmentation or breast lift. The ideal candidate for a mommy makeover is a mom who:

• Practices healthy eating habits
• Exercises regularly with cardio and weight training
• Does not smoke
• Maintains a healthy weight for her size
• Limits consumption of alcohol
• Has a strong post-surgery support network to aid in her recovery
• Does not want to have additional children

While some new moms elect to undergo body sculpting procedures shortly after childbirth, these techniques are equally as effective for moms who have older children.
