Ask any woman who has had a child and they will tell you that it is hard on your body; it stretches everything, sometimes never to go back. The stomach, breasts, and other areas that are susceptible to pregnancy weight gain can benefit from a full mommy makeover.

In general, a mommy makeover consists of three separate procedures: a breast lift and/or augment, a tummy tuck, and some advantageously performed liposuction. In many cases, diet and exercise alone cannot get rid of all the fatty deposits that appear during pregnancy. Stretch marks and sagging skin don't go away on their own. These procedures can tighten things up and get you back in your pre-motherhood form.

The fact is many women simply cannot regain their trim appearance without a little help. You should not be made to feel guilty about doing something for yourself. Child bearing is difficult enough without having to go through post-child bearing years looking less than your best.

When you decide you are no longer going to have children, consult with a qualified board certified plastic surgeon to help get you back where you belong. In Albany, Schenectady, Troy, or Saratoga Springs, New York, please contact Dr. Barach to schedule an initial mommy makeover consultation today.
