Tummy Tuck: Why Do Mums Want It This Christmas?

What do mommies want most this Christmas? A tummy tuck, and not electrical appliances, designer handbags, or a cruise vacation. That’s because mommies want to get back their pre-pregnancy tummies and rock in their LBDs this coming party season. Pregnancy and childbirth take a toll on a woman’s body; the rapid weight gain and weight loss during these periods show up as loose muscles and sagging skin. A tummy tuck is a minimally-invasive procedure that helps mommies regain their youthful and toned pre-baby figures.

Why Do Mommies Need Tummy Tuck?

During pregnancy, the muscles in the abdominal region are stretched to accommodate the growing baby. But often, these muscles do not contract afterwards and instead, take on a flaccid appearance. During pregnancy, mommies-to-be gain weight and the skin on their abdomens stretch to accommodate their larger muscles and the growing baby. Although many mothers shed this weight after delivering the baby, their abdominal skin loses elasticity and becomes loose and drooping.

Exercise and dieting usually cannot reverse these issues. A tummy tuck is the answer to limpid abdominal muscles and sagging skin.

What is a Tummy Tuck?

During a tummy tuck, the surgeon makes an incision running across the hips and just near the bikini line to lessen the appearance of the scar. He also makes another incision around the belly button. Through these incisions, the surgeon realigns the muscles, sucks out fat tissues, and pulls down the loose folds of skin to create a tauter appearance. The procedure takes around two hours to complete.

A mini tummy tuck procedure is recommended for mommies who have fewer pockets of pregnancy fat in their abdominal regions. During a mini tummy tuck, no cut is made around the belly button and the incision near the bikini line is also smaller.

What to Expect During the Tummy Tuck Recovery Period

Like any other surgical procedure, a tummy tuck too has side effects like mild pain, swelling, and bruising. You will have to wear a binder for a few weeks after the surgery to aid the healing process. If you work out regularly, you will have a speedier recovery. The results of the tummy tuck are visible right after the surgery. The toned look improves gradually as the swelling subsides.

Why is Tummy Tuck Ideal for Mommies?

Mommies have a lot on their plates. Whether you have a little baby or school-going kids to take care of, you are always short on time. You cannot spend hours working out. Nor can you experiment with diets and then risk crashing out. But you want to look good too. A tummy tuck lets you get back your pre-baby youthful and toned look without needing to take time out from your busy-mum schedule.

Being a mum is the most glorious experience in a woman’s life. Don’t let a sagging tummy take away from your looks and mar the joys of motherhood. Make sure that you fit in a tummy tuck when you create a wish-list for Santa Claus. He will be delighted to grant you your wish because you deserve this gift for being the caring and hard-working mommy that you are!

Arm Lift to Flaunt Toned and Taut Upper Arms

Why should you now consider getting an arm lift? Because even after carrying your kids and lugging gifts around in this festive season, that last shred of fat from your upper arms is refusing to budge. Because you have lost so much weight after pregnancy that you now have loose folds of skin hanging from your arms. Because you want to get back the toned arms you used to have before pregnancy. Arm lift is a safe minimally-invasive surgical procedure for mommies who have been eating right and exercising away diligently and now want that little extra nudge to help them cross over the line and reach their beauty goals.

What is Arm Lift?

During the arm lift procedure, your surgeon will make an incision between your elbow and underarm. Don’t worry, the scar will not show glaringly because it will be on the inside of the upper arm, snugly fitted into the groove of the bicep. However, the size of the incision will depend on the amount of skin and fat tissue that you want to have removed. You will be anesthetized or sedated for the procedure, so you won’t feel any pain.

After making the incision, your surgeon will remove excess skin and possibly, excess fat through liposuction.

The arm lift procedure takes about two hours to carry out. You can return home the same day, so you don’t have to be away from your baby for long.

What to Expect During the Arm Lift Recovery Period

Because arm lift is a minimally-invasive procedure, it has minimal downtime. An arm lift recovery period is short; you can return to work and daily activities within a week after the surgery. However, you should not lift heavy weights till you are fully healed, which would be in a couple of weeks. You will have to wear a compression garment for a few weeks to help define the new contours of your arm.

Like it is with other surgical procedures, you will experience mild pain, swelling, bruising, and discomfort at the site of incision for a few days after the surgery. Your doctor will prescribe oral medicines to help you deal with the pain. The other symptoms will subside on their own within a few days after the surgery.

The results of an arm lift procedure are visible immediately after the surgery, and the appearance improves as the swelling and the bruising go away. Look at some arm lift before-and-after photographs to feel inspired.

Why is Arm Lift Ideal for Mommies?

Whether you are a new mommy or have grown-up kids, you have a busy life, and kudos to you for keeping up with a healthy diet and sticking to your exercise plan. You are already in sight of your ideal body size, but as a time-crunched mom, there’s a limit up to which you can experiment with diets and arm workouts. Besides, those last vestiges of fat may be the most stubborn ones to get rid of. An arm lift procedure is ideal for mommies because it has minimal downtime and manageable side effects that last only a few days. So why wait and keep hoping when you can bid good riddance to jiggling arms now?

A Breast Lift to Make You Stand Out in Your Halloween Costume

Get a breast lift to rock Halloween in one of these costumes. (Image courtesy Ras67 on Wikipedia via CC BY 2.0)

How can you stand out, get noticed, and turn heads at a Halloween party in the midst of ghoulish costumes and scary make-ups? Simple, get a breast lift and then get into a Halloween costume that will let you show off your enviable, youthful figure. A breast lift surgery improves the shape and position of the breasts to impart a perkier look. The increase in the size of the breasts during pregnancy, the weight loss afterwards, and breastfeeding tend to make breasts droopy. Sagging boobs give you an aged appearance, which is something you don’t need not just this Halloween but ever.

What is a Breast Lift Surgery?

First, a disclaimer. A breast lift surgery does not increase the size of the breasts. It improves the appearance of droopy and/or deflated breasts, uneven breasts, and breasts that have lost volume and now appear elongated and pendulous. A breast lift can also improve the appearance of nipples and areolas that point downward or are positioned in the crease of unsupported breasts.

The goal of a breast lift surgery, as the name suggests, is to improve the shape of the breasts and position them higher up on the chest. The result is perkier and more upright breasts. The procedure reverses the effects of pregnancy and breastfeeding and gives you a youthful, attractive look.

There are four different types of breast lift techniques. Your surgeon will decide on one depending on your goals. All the procedures leave the milk duct and the nipples unaffected. So if you want to have more babies afterwards, you can go ahead without worrying about the after-effects of your breast lift surgery or wondering if you will be able to breastfeed again.

What to Expect During the Breast Lift Recovery Period

A breast lift is usually performed on an outpatient basis and the procedure takes just a few hours. You can go back home the same day, which is an ideal situation for a new mommy who doesn’t want to be away from her baby for too long.

Like any other surgical procedure, a breast lift too can cause some pain and discomfort after the surgery. But these go away within a few days. A skillful surgeon makes the incisions such that the scars do not show, so you don’t have to wear buttoned-up costumes on Halloween.

You can get back to your normal life within a few days after the surgery. So if you undergo breast lift now, you will be ready to party in time for Halloween. But you have to avoid physically demanding tasks and jobs that involve heavy lifting for three weeks to a month.

The results of a breast lift are immediately visible; take a look at some breast lift before-and-after photographs to know what you can expect from the surgery.

Breast lift is a standard procedure if you want to go in for a mommy makeover. Being a mommy is a tough job and kudos to you, for carrying it out perfectly. But don’t let the stresses of pregnancy and breastfeeding show. Reclaim your pre-pregnancy body by going in for a breast lift. You can look both sexy and scary this Halloween!

CoolSculpting for Mommies: Spare Yourself the Surgery Scares

Hassle-Free Mommy Makeover with CoolSculpting (Image courtesy PublicDomainPictures on Pixabay via CC0 Public Domain license)

As a busy mom who has to juggle kids, family, and career or a new mom who is learning to carry out the responsibilities of motherhood without dropping dead, why should you learn about CoolSculpting instead of looking up mom-hacks (quick, easy fixes for moms-on-the go) ? Because you hate your muffin top and jiggling thighs and want to get back the youthful figure of your pre-baby days. Because you want to rock in that LBD once again without worrying if your pregnancy weight is showing through. But most importantly, you don’t want to be gassed and cut open. CoolSculpting is a non-invasive procedure that mommies in New York are grateful to for giving them back their pre-pregnancy bodies without making them go through the hassles of a surgery.

What is CoolSculpting?

CoolSculpting is a revolutionary cosmetic procedure developed by the scientists at Harvard University and has been approved by the FDA. It is new but you needn’t fear it because it is absolutely safe.

Here’s how CoolSculpting works.

Our cells die when they are exposed to very cold (read: freezing) temperatures. During CoolSculpting, the fat cells of a precisely targeted area are “frozen to death” without harming the cells, tissues, muscles, and nerves nearby. The body absorbs the dead cells over a period of 3-4 months. Studies have shown that CoolSculpting can reduce fat by up to 25 percent in the targeted area.

The whole procedure takes about an hour. It is painless, partly because no incisions are made and partly because the cold temperatures numb any sensation of pain. You will just feel like an ice pack is being pressed against your skin.

What to Expect After CoolSculpting

Some women may notice redness or experience tenderness in the area, but these usually go away on their own within a few hours. There might also be some bruising and numbness, but these too resolve on their own within a few weeks after the procedure.

Look up some CoolSculpting before-and-after photos to marvel at the results of the procedure. These results show up within 3-4 weeks.

Why is CoolSculpting Ideal for Mommies?

Right now, CoolSculpting is the only non-invasive procedure that can help women regain their pre-pregnancy bodies.

The idea of being cut open, prodded into, and poked around is scary. Mums have surgery scares too and more so, if they have undergone a C-section and the experience was stressful. In fact, such is the fear of invasive cosmetic procedures that many mommies choose not to go under the knife and instead remain dissatisfied with their post-pregnancy bodies.

But there are other reasons why CoolSculpting is especially ideal for mommies.

Both new mothers and women who have given birth earlier are hard-pressed for time. They don’t have the days, hours, and weeks to spare to accommodate a post-surgical downtime and then waste more time and effort managing unpleasant side effects. With no downtime at all, CoolSculpting lets mommies get back on their feet and return to their lives as soon as they leave the doctor’s office. They don’t have to worry about side effects as well.

Because CoolSculpting is a non-invasive procedure, it is not carried out under anesthesia. Mommies have been known to work on their laptops and tablets, catch up on reading, and talk over the phone while the procedure is underway.

CoolSculpting is a quick, painless, effective way to melt the pounds you may have gained during pregnancy. This non-invasive procedure is safe and is especially convenient for a busy NY mum who is scared to go under the knife and also doesn’t want to go through the inconveniences of an invasive procedure—the downtime, the side effects, and the post-surgical weakness that can prevent her from taking care of her family. Although it is the most glorious period in a woman’s life, pregnancy may also wreak havoc on the body. You deserve a hassle-free mommy makeover for going through the stresses gracefully.

Make Your Mommy-Makeover Wish List Come True This Season

Go in for a mommy makeover and enjoy motherhood. (Image courtesy VaniaRaposo on Pixabay via CC0 Pubic Domain licnese)

What’s on your mommy-makeover wish list? Breast lift, breast reduction, or breast augmentation, or would you rather go in for a complete mommy-makeover routine comprising a whole set of restoration and rejuvenation procedures to help you reclaim the toned and youthful appeal of your pre-pregnancy body? This is the time when Mother Nature sheds Her old clothes and dons a new garb of colors. As the greens around you give way to oranges, yellows, and reds, why don’t you too go in for a new look? Make your mommy-makeover wish list come true.

Why Go in for a Mommy Makeover Now

Because you DESERVE it for being the super-mom that you are.

You have a nurtured a life within you for months. Child-bearing is stressful and your body went through a lot during this time. The stresses show up as sagging breasts, enlarged breasts, and/or loss of volume in one or both breasts after you have breastfed your child. Your breasts lose their youthful perkiness and even though you are right now basking in the glow of motherhood, you cannot help but feel a tad self-conscious about your appearance.

As a busy mum with a little one to take care of and possibly, one or more older kids to bring up as well, a career to focus on, and a household to maintain, you don’t have the time or the energy to work out. Besides, there are hardly any targeted exercise routine that can guarantee the results you desire.

A breast augmentation, breast lift, or breast reduction procedure guarantees enviable results within a short time. What is more, these procedures are usually performed on an outpatient basis, so you needn’t be away from your child for too long. The recovery periods are short and won’t hamper with your childcare routine.

You have to wear bandages for a few days after the surgery and then a compression bandage or a support bra for a few more weeks. With the cooler temperatures around, now is the ideal time to undergo these procedures because you will be comfortable wearing the bandages and the support garments. Besides, your jackets and woolies will conceal them too.

Which Mommy Makeover Procedure to Undergo

A breast augmentation procedure is ideal if you want to restore the lost volume in your breasts or improve their shape and size. Gummy Bear implants are the most popular choices for implants because they produce lasting and natural results and are extremely safe as well. Your surgeon will choose the shape and size of the implants based on the proportions and contours of your body, so that your boob job is not glaringly evident.

During pregnancy or after the baby arrives, would-be or new mommies are often dismayed to discover that their once-perky breasts are sagging. A breast lift procedure repositions the breasts higher up on the chest and improves the elasticity of the skin, so you get back the youthful look of your pre-baby days.

Weight gain is common during pregnancy, but it is hard to shed the pregnancy pounds afterwards. The breasts can remain enlarged even after pregnancy. Over-sized breasts not only lose shape and tend to sag but can be painful. Large breasts can trigger neck and back pain and can be especially inconvenient when you have to be active and juggle a baby, home, and job. Breast reduction surgery delivers you from the woes and the pain.

You can undergo breast augmentation, breast lift, and/or breast reduction as part of a comprehensive mommy-makeover procedure that restores your pre-pregnancy body and gives you the confidence to rock any clothes you wear.

Pregnancy and child birth are the most beautiful and emotionally fulfilling phases in a woman’s life. The stress and fatigue that are so common during these periods melt away when the baby arrives and lights up your life. Don’t let body image issues dent the joy of motherhood. Get back your pre-pregnancy body by fulfilling your mommy-makeover wish list today.

September is Mommy Makeover Month

Mommy Makeover with Breast Augmentation and Tummy Tuck

When they are in school, it is time for a mommy makeover. Image courtesy Donnie Ray Jones on Flickr via CC BY 2.0

September is Back to School Month; why not also make it a Mommy Makeover Month? When the kids are back in school, you can use the time on your hands to go in for a tummy tuck surgery to get rid of the post-baby pouch that sticks out through your tees and dresses or a breast augmentation procedure to banish the post-baby droopy boobs. It is hard to imagine that pregnancy, the most beautiful phase in a woman’s life, can also ravage her body. Post-pregnancy paunches and sagging breasts take away from the beauty and attractiveness of the mommy and rob her confidence. You deserve the best mommy makeover as a reward for being the loving, caring, and hard-working mummy that you are.

What is Breast Augmentation?

The blossoming body of the mommy-to-be, unfortunately, gives way to smaller, misshapen, and drooping breasts post pregnancy. Breast augmentation helps mommies regain the firmer and youthful breasts of their pre-pregnancy days. After breast augmentation, women can expect more attractive bust-lines and increased confidence to rock in any dress they want to wear.

Breast augmentation recovery time is short. The bandages go off within a few days after the surgery, and you can expect to return to work soon afterwards. Breast augmentation scars too fade away over time. But if you are not convinced, take a look at some breast augmentation before-and-after photos.

What is a Tummy Tuck?

You have nurtured a life for nine months and your stomach is now showing the signs of the stress it has gone through during this time. Post-baby pouch, folds of fat in the abdominal region, loose muscles, and sagging skin are some complaints that a tummy tuck procedure can fix. During the procedure, excess and stubborn fat is removed, sagging muscles are realigned, and loose folds of skin are tightened.

Browse through some tummy tuck before-and-after photos. When performed by a skillful surgeon, tummy tuck results are impressive—a flatter stomach, stronger and more well-defined abdominal muscles, firmer skin, and barely-there tummy tuck scars.

This procedure is safe and tummy tuck recovery time is short. But if you want to know more, consult your plastic surgeon. He can answer common questions like what is the cost of tummy tuck, should you opt for tummy tuck after weight loss, and if pregnancy after tummy tuck is possible or desirable.

What is a Mommy Makeover?

Usually pregnancy brings on a multitude of body image issues that dieting and exercising cannot resolve on their own. Besides, busy mums cannot afford to go on restrictive diets that sap energy or spend hours working out. A mommy makeover surgery, which comprises breast augmentation and a tummy tuck procedure, corrects a host of problems all at once and gives them the chance to regain their pre-pregnancy youthful and toned figure without exerting too much. Mommy makeover recovery time is short and you can return to your active life within a few weeks.

Going in for a mommy makeover, New York women say, has let them enjoy the gift of motherhood without being ashamed of their bodies. By banishing unwanted fat and re-sculpting sagging muscles, mommies can get back their pre-baby figures without strain and hassles. Whether you go in for breast augmentation, tummy tuck surgery, or both make sure that you consult the best mommy makeover surgeon who can guarantee safe and impressive results that you would be proud to show off.

This September, it is time to be a new you!

New Mom Featured On Celebrity Before & Afters

As featured on Celebrity Before & Afters: NEW MOM COCO AUSTIN’S FAMOUS ASSETS BEFORE & AFTER

eonline.com

Coco Austin and her rapper husband, Ice-T, have been partners in many joint ventures. They have starred in the hugely popular reality show, Ice Loves Coco, which was aired on E! from 2011 to 2013. They have recently launched their own talk show, Ice & Coco. But probably their most exciting venture till date is going to be their first child together; Ice-T and wife Coco are expecting their bundle of joy, a girl, in just a few months from now. In their latest talk show, they will reveal all about the pregnancy, and one wonders, if Coco will have something to say about the breast augmentation job that she has admitted to getting done.

According to Coco Austin, she felt compelled to undergo breast augmentation to balance out her larger-than-life derrière, which she maintains is au natural. Coco had been modeling for lingerie since she was 14 years old. Back then, the J-Lo curvy backside was not in vogue, and Coco was often told that she was “fat.” She felt insecure and feared her modeling assignments would dry up. So she got a boob job done, and her career perked up. Clearly, the breast augmentation cost and staying cooped in during the breast augmentation recovery period were worthwhile.

Coco Austin looks stunning in her breast augmentation photos. Not only do her enhanced assets balance out her large hips but they also add dollops of earthy voluptuousness to her figure. What helps is that Coco has fabulously toned and firm muscles, thanks to hours of sweating out at the gym. She admits to being a fan of the plank, an exercise that she claims gives a full-body workout.

Enhancing The Millennial Mom & Breastfeeding

Millennials have always been about chasing their dreams. They create startups, travel the world and Instagram it all in the process. Now, they’re starting families, and just like their other ventures, they’re crushing the game- ENTER MILLENNIAL MOMS.

Millennial moms are a new breed of women, who obviously do it all, but look just as fabulous as they are fearless when conquering the world.

However, new moms of the millennial need to understand the ups and downs literally of the breast-feeding game (and the potential havoc it can have on your body).

As seen on Elite Daily:

Here are some things to expect should you choose to breastfeed:

1. It shouldn’t hurt.

Many women complain that breastfeeding hurts. If so, they’re doing it wrong.

If you’re able to take a class, you should. You will learn which position works best and how to work in sync with your kid.

Also, get some lanolin. It really helps with chaffed and cracked nipples. (Yeah, that happens.)

2. Your boobs will look like something on National Geographic.

Yes, really. Something happens to your boobs. They get darker; the nipples get bigger, and you literally can’t even with your DDDs.

Some women love having the engorged va-va-voom to plump up their shirts. Other women with bigger breasts cheer with relief when they pump or breastfeed; they can actually see over their chests.

3. Breastfeeding is good for recovery.

In the days after delivery, you’ll find that pumping and/or breastfeeding does some crazy things to your bod. When you release milk, you will feel your uterus contract.

This may lead to some nasty sh*t in your granny panties, but whatever. The more your uterus contracts, the faster you’ll recover.

You’ll also feel a little less bloated and gassy. Hey, no one said child birth was sexy.

4. You get MILF-y fast.

The average mom will make about 24 to 28 ounces of breast milk a day. It takes about 500 calories to make that much milk.

Isn’t that so much easier than going to the gym? But, make sure you’re eating extra calories to make up for it, and don’t forget to stay hydrated.

5. Your body will be MILF-y, but your boobs might sag.

While breastfeeding and pumping is awesome for your body and baby, it might take a toll on your bra. Often, moms are left with sad, saggy boobs.

It’s okay. You grew and birthed a human.

6. It gives you girl power.

There’s something super powerful about breastfeeding. Whether it’s at home or strolling through Target, you get all Superwoman on everyone.

While anyone can give a baby a bottle, you are creating the momma juice.

7. It’s great for bonding.

During feeding time, it feels so intimate being with your baby. It’s a great excuse to tell visitors to leave, and it’s a great time to take a cat nap.

When your baby is feeding and locking eyes with you, something magical happens. Babies can sense if we are stressed, so take this time to get into a good mental space.

Try to relax, and let the good vibes in.

8. Your boobs might leak in public.

Okay, this one is seriously weird. When you’re out and about running errands, the sound of a baby crying might send your tits into Niagara Falls mode. It’s just bizarre.

It happened to me during the one hour I took for myself a few weeks postpartum.

Checking out at a store and realizing your shirt is wet is up there as one of the most embarrassing moments ever. Damn, kid.

9. Poops are less stinky.

Hooray for less stinky poops! I’ve heard from multiple people that breastfed babies have less stinky diapers. Formula-fed babies seem to have a little odor.

While neither will clear the room yet, it’s a nice little plus. Once you introduce foods, forget it; you’re screwed.

10. It has health benefits.

I’m not doctor, so I can’t speak to any of the medial benefits of breastfeeding. But, here are some benefits according to professionals.

Remember, not all moms are able to breastfeed, and that’s okay, too. If that happens to be you, don’t get discouraged; it’s not your fault.

To those of you joining the pump club, welcome. It’s weird, wacky and wonderful.

Many new millennial moms choose to undergo a breast augmentation procedure of some kind…

Whether the treatment is implants, a lift or a reduction, Dr. Steinbrech is the ultimate expert in restoring your pre-mommy body getting you feeling your best and most beautiful.

Mommies on Buzzfeed in NYC

shape.com

Shape Magazine is known for their after baby bounce back cover stories featuring the most flawless of Hollywood A-listers and beauty bombshells, and essentially leaving new moms feeling like the dirty diaper they just tossed in the genie. Instead of the standard, expected interview, Olivia gave us a dose of reality. After being paired up with the accredited writer, it was time to get real. Real, real.

“I am not in perfect shape. In fact, I’m softer than I’ve ever been, including that unfortunate semester in high school when I simultaneously discovered Krispy Kreme and pot,” she reveals. “The photos of me in this magazine have been generously constructed to show my best angles, and I assure you, good lighting has been warmly embraced. The truth is, I’m a mother, and I look like one.”

Read Interview on Buzzfeed: Olivia Wilde Is All About The RealTalk

Mothers across the U.S.A are rejoicing in her honesty. It is so difficult for women to see their cute, pre-baby self as a ghost of the past… and guilt immediately follows any large chunk of time that is dedicated to shaping back up for the sake of vanity or even confidence. Gym sessions have been replaced with mommy and me classes, fashionable clothes are swapped for sweats, and meals are replaced with eating the leftovers on their child’s plate. Moms often wonder, “Where did my perky breasts go? When did this flat tire take up residency of my waistline? ” It can also be a very psychological challenge on top of a physical obstacle for women to look in the mirror and not recognize themselves. Mothers cannot take on as much as they try to, especially entering this journey fresh.

This personal essay to new moms are helping to reinstate the ideals of womanly body image before and after motherhood. It is so much more about support and taking some time to consider yourself. Since mothers are often associated with the “mom jean -esque figure”, women feel pressure and loose hope. However, a mom who feels great will only add value and enrichment to her family’s life. Olivia Wilde has now offered a strong vocal message for women to stay positive. More and more moms are now redefining and reclaiming their bodies.
