Do you have to have a baby to have a ‘Mommy Makeover’? The “Mommy Makeover” has become one of the most popular surgeries in the last few years. Many people call and ask me exactly what a “Mommy Makeover” is. Usually, it consists of a tummy tuck, liposuction, breast lift, or breast augmentation, but in many cases, like myself, I had a mommy makeover, and I’ve never had a baby. So, why did that happen? Well, up until my forties, I was a size six, and one day, I wake up, and I’m a size 8, and then 10, and then I was almost a size a twelve- blaming the dry cleaners, my husband washing my clothes, or the stores for making their sizes smaller. So, to make a long story short, I consulted with many doctors, and it boiled down to, I needed a tummy tuck. How can that be when I’ve never had a baby? As women age, usually in the forties, their bodies start to change as they get closer to menopause, and it ain’t in a good way. Basically, we’re all pre-programmed to age a certain way. Diet and exercise can control a lot of it, but like so many mothers and non-mothers that come to my office, sometimes that’s just not enough.
So whether you’ve had a baby or not, a ‘mommy makeover’ can be such a wonderful self-esteem booster like you can’t imagine.
