What is a “Mommy Makeover?” And, just why do so many women want to receive one?

Childbirth is a beautiful thing. But what isn’t always a lovely sight is the aftermath of this experience, in regards to a woman’s body. While most mothers would agree that bearing a baby is an indescribable feeling, many of these women also admit that they would love to get help bouncing back to their pre-pregnancy shapes.

A healthy diet and regular exercise are important factors in creating a more pleasing appearance, but this may not directly improve problem areas. Every woman’s post-pregnancy body is affected differently, which is due to each person’s distinct fat storage and excess fat regions. Yet with the help of a qualified plastic surgeon, such as Dr. Ronald M. Friedman, women are able to return to a shape they are proud of. This is why the Mommy Makeover has grown into such a popular route towards improvement – it provides women with greater self-confidence. The most popular Mommy Makeover procedures are: breast augmentation, breast lift surgery, liposuction, and tummy tuck surgery. While many patients feel comfortable undergoing multiple procedures during one operation, there are others who prefer to undergo one procedure at a time. In a recent news article on WebMD.com, several women were interviewed regarding their experience with undergoing a Mommy Makeover – most of the subjects agreed that their choice to undergo certain procedures was the right one.

August 20th, 2008. A Martinez, California woman was sentenced to 9 months in prison for identity theft, using another woman’s stolen credit cards to subsidize payment for a Mommy Makeover, consisting of a Breast Lift, Liposuction and Tummy Tuck.

Londie Bowman, 32, is scheduled to surrender to Marin County sheriffs in October, according to her public defender and a spokesperson for the courts. Bowman, scheduled the procedure for February but only had about $12,000, a little over half of the cost for the group of procedures, but it wasn’t until after she had them when her theft caught up with her.

After her procedure, a complimentary get-well bouquet was sent from the plastic surgeon’s office, Plastic Surgery Specialists in Greenbrae to the victim of the identity theft, Maija Lamberts. When Ms. Lamberts started asking questions about why she received the bouquet, the details of the theft came to light. When Bowman contacted the plastic surgeon to inquire about a lingering itch near her navel, local authorities were able to intercept her on a return visit to the surgeon’s office.
