While everybody thinks children are wonderful, not much is said in birth announcements about the physical cost to the mother for bringing bundles of joy into the world. The toll? Stretched and distorted breasts, bulging stomachs, weight gain on the hips yes, those dreaded saddlebags -- and thicker thighs.

And the damage is not all on the outside. While the uterus is usually about the size of an orange, a baby stretches it against the abdominal wall. As the baby grows and forces the uterus against the inside of the muscle wall of the abdomen, those two vertical muscles (the Rectus Abdominis), the so-called six pack muscles get stretched apart and elongate, resulting in a bulge of the lower tummy that cannot be fixed with diet and exercise alone. Once that happens, only surgery can bring the muscles back together again. Moreover, the breasts grow and get larger during breast feeding. After that, the breasts typically decrease, often to a size smaller than before the pregnancy. Result? Stretch marks and hanging breasts. Repeated pregnancies can multiply the damage. But all too often, the toll on the mothers body is often considered just part and parcel of being a modern mom.

Many women are seeing cosmetic and plastic surgeons for what is commonly called Mommy Makeovers. They just want their old shapes back and many are returning to the world of work where confidence and self-assurance are prized. Commonly requested procedures include tummy tucks and breast augmentations to fill out sagging breasts.

  • how much $

  • These are average prices. Dr. Kim's will vary....

    15k for Tummy Tuck

    6500 for Beast Augmentation

    Your save money since you only have to pay once for anesthesia and the surgical facility. Plus you only have one recovery

  • I am sorry but I am proud of my body cause I gave birth to a child, I gave birth naturally (no meds) and I am proud of it.. my body is the way it is because of my blessing of being a mom.. GOD gave me this body... I am happy with it

  • It is this type of so called "godly" attitude that starts wars. So judgmental of people who do not believe what you believe. Ithink you should actually read the bible as it is people like you who end up in hell.

    Right on

  • I don't regret my children for a second, but to be able to look in the mirror and feel beautiful again would be worth having the procedure. What's wrong with regaining your former self after giving it up to bring another life into the world?

  • @sporemedical people like her do not end up in hell. Nothing is wrong with her stating that she likes her body. In HER opinion Natural is always best, no matter what. Doesn't make anyone wrong or right.. its just the truth.

  • that's amaaaaaaaazing.. i'm in my 37 weeks pregnant & I'm already depressed from the shape of my stretch marks, & i see my friends who had babies & their skary bellies & i go afraid to be like that..yours look amazing after surgery.. there's hope.. thx for posting the video dear & hope u're great..

  • OMG horror overload...

  • @badcompany78 I don't think there's nothing wrong with Mommy makeovers. Your not really changing yourself.Your just going back to what your body use to be.

  • @badcompany78 you must be saggy and unattractive, and your husband is probably cheating on you too

  • It is always good to consult with a professional aesthetic consultant prior to this surgery to make sure that you choose the RIGHT surgeon and ask the RIGHT QUESTIONS. There are not many Excellent ones around. Melinda Farina in NYC is at the top of her game and works with all of the best. Contact her at integratedaestheticsllc at yahoo for further inquiries.

  • @sporemedical the tummy tuck was 15 000$ :O ??

  • 15k for just a tummy tuck? wow thats really expensive! online it says that an entire mommy makeover which includes tummy tuck, breast augmentation and lipo varies between 12k and 14k not more than that.

  • Great video!!
