New mothers can follow a strict diet and join a fitness class to get themselves back in shape. But most of them find that diet and exercise take up a lot of their time so they turn to cosmetic surgery for a quick fix.

KeyeTV has Dr. David Lickstein talk about the various predicaments that women face after their pregnancies.

“The most common combination of procedures often involves a breast lift or placement of implants, and an abdominoplasty or tummy tuck," Lickstein said.

There are many changes that take place during pregnancy--the nose and face can broaden, breast tissue expands for nursing, then rapidly shrinks. But it's the belly bares most of the burden.

“The most common is loose skin on the abdomen that just hasn't retracted following pregnancy or even losing weight--the skin still hangs," Lickstein said.

Abdominoplasty or tummy tuck is usually the most common procedure that new moms ask their plastic surgeons to perform on them. The loose skin on the abdomen is just too much to handle.

Likewise, regular moms are amazed at how super celebrity moms slim down so fast after their pregnancies. Cosmetic surgery makeovers pave the way for these lightning speed changes to take place so it is not surprising at all to discover that more and more mothers get their bodies done in their post-pregnancy stage.
