With changing social customs, many couples are waiting longer before having children, and the modern mother is often a professional woman taking time out of a busy career to have a family. Once maternity leave is over, whether after a few months or a few years, and the new mother is preparing to re-enter the business world, she may be taking stock of her wardrobe, her appearance, and her body image. She may find that in spite of dieting and exercise some parts of her body have not returned to her former body shape.

This would be the time to consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon for a professional assessment and candid advice on the many options open. Whether a lower body lift, a mini-tummy tuck, or liposection is needed to restore body contour, or some limited liposelection to correct stubborn fat deposits in specific areas, your surgeon will provide you with complete information.
