Tummy Tuck For Mommy Makeover

Maybe you didn't always have the flat stomach of your dreams. Now you can afford a tummy tuck, and the future is looking a little bit brighter, or at least tighter. A tummy tuck as a part of a mommy makeover is just that. For mothers across the country who have let the years of struggling with stress, yo-yo dieting, tried and failed exercise routines, compounding baby weight from multiple children, career woes and just life in general get in the way of taking care of themselves, this is a way to finally get some relief with the physical aspect of struggling to get one's life back on track. Children and family are supposed to add to your life, not rob you of time, energy and a healthy self-image. You've admitted that you've let yourself go, but you've been working your butt off to get your butt back, and you could use a little boost, especially for those difficult areas such as the abdomen. The abdomen can be particularly hard to tone if you don't know what diet or exercise regime will be the most effective. Additionally, if your last pregnancy tore your abdominal muscles or if you have a back injury and are unable to do the sit-ups or twisting movements the fitness experts suggest, this is when a tummy tuck can virtually save the day, as well as your waist line.

What does a tummy tuck entail for a mommy like you? Well, there are three techniques that are used to impact the three stages of abdominal skin and fat protrusion. Small folds receive the mini incision, while medium and large folds receive the standard incision. Large protrusions around the belly button and the lower abdomen will receive an extended incision, but the cut goes from hip to hip and is hidden at the crease above the pubic area, as are all of the different incisions. It is up to you and your particular plastic surgeon to determine your candidacy and the best technique for your unique body. And a good time to pursue this procedure, as a mother, would be after you've had your last child. It is advisable to undergo such an operation after you believe you have completed your family, because the newly formed abdomen is far more likely to tear upon stretching again. You don't want to require a surgical revision after that child as well.

Now you can finally commit to throwing away your mom jeans and lounging sweats that you've worn to run errands in one too many times. Then, while your tummy tuck heals and the swelling subsides over the next six months, you can gradually become more and more comfortable with buying smaller sizes to fit your shrinking waist. Everyone knows that a happy, confident mom makes for a happy, functional family.
