It’s a new year. You have a fresh 12 months ahead and a whole host of things on your “to do” list. It’s also winter and you still have several weeks of hibernation ahead before you feel like you can really kick things into high-gear. Of course, this cabin fever can result in a few late year little ones running around the house because your winter indoor activities were… dare I say… limited.
At the beginning, all your friends will marvel at your “baby bump” and will shower you with special attention and a bunch of adorable gifts for your forthcoming “bundle of joy.” But what happens when it’s over. The “bundle of joy” quickly becomes a bundle of burps and spit-up who ignores your sleep cycle and captures your every waking thought. What’s left of your “baby bump” has become awkwardly placed lumping fat around your mid-section that seems impossible to combat. On top of that, the rest of your body seems to have gone to hell too. You barely recognize yourself and your pre-baby body seems but a distant memory. Some women resolve to the notion that this is the unfortunate by-product of reproduction and adjust their wardrobes to draw attention away from the awkward new you instead of doing something about it. The same people who marveled and embraced your miracle in the starting stages have now switched gears to passing judgment as the pressure is on to keep that motherly glow and still look like the temptress that got herself the parental gig to begin with.
Throwing in the towel is certainly one option, but it’s the one that admits defeat. You have options. Baby fat doesn’t have to beat you. Get your pre-baby body back!
Increasing your workout routine is an option, but frankly, who has time to exercise with all the new responsibilities that come with having a new baby around. The schedule conflict is even more challenging if you have other small children already. It’s time you consider a Mommy Makeover.
What’s a Mommy Makeover? Well, first off, it depends on what your needs, wants, and expectations are. Do you need a breast lift or augmentation? Perhaps you want a tummy tuck or liposuction to remove excess baby fat from around your middle. A Mommy Makeover may be a combination of various procedures, mildly invasive, or noninvasive, designed to restore a woman’s body and self-confidence. The treatments are packaged in a way to alleviate the common issues that can take place after pregnancy and motherhood that are extremely difficult to eliminate without the assistance of a professional- sagging breasts, poorly defined waist line, pockets of fat in the abdominal area, legs, glutes, etc, stretch marks, and other similar changes to the female body.
Procedures on the menu may include:
You may be a little wary of the concept of surgery to help you get your body back, but at Mommy Makeover Manhattan, the atmosphere is more like a spa than like a doctor’s office. Pampering is the order of the day, and time commitment is minimal. Your procedure is performed in one session, and you can get back to your family right away. There’s minimal recovery time. That’s a major bonus, because with the little one at home, time is at a premium. On top of that, you don’t need to come in for additional treatments or anesthesia, so you don’t have to call the baby sitter as many times.
While your sitter may not be happy about not getting as much work from you, you’ll be happy because you can spend critical time with your newborn and you’ll have your pre-baby body back. Baby’s happy. Mommy’s happy. The family’s happy. Who could ask for more?
It’s time. You have the right to claim your body back!
