Mommy Makeover Trend

While many mothers are choosing diet and exercise after child birth, some have found that no matter the time and energy spent at the gym will help eliminate the sagging excess skin and pockets of fat left over from weight gained during pregnancy. Some women are perfectly okay with having the sagging skin as it is a reminder that they once had a miracle happen inside their body. However, some women just want their old slim pre-pregnancy bodies back and the Mommy Makeover is certainly one successful way to do so. According to Realself.com, a community of members who share their procedure stories and real doctors who answer questions, the mommy makeover has a 98% "Worth-it Rating. The "worth-it rating" meant that those who have had a mommy makeover on average say that the procedure was 98% worth-it to do. Mother of two, Angela Aguirre, had the same idea. Angela began working out and exercisingregularly to achieve as much success with her body as she could, she managed to lose 30 pounds. 

Angela worked extremely hard to lose those 30 pounds but when she looked in the mirror, all she saw was loose skin and her "stomach didn't look any different". Angela's results were not exactly what she expected, she says "there was loose skin, and it kind of had a round, potbelly appearance to it. I'd been working out really hard for a year and three months and thought, 'Surely by now it would be tighter'". Except they weren't and she could not figure out what was going on. Her next step was to visit her family doctor to figure out what was going on, he said after she her two C-sections, her stomach muscles became separated and that there was nothing she could do to fix that other than having a tummy tuck.
