You see it all the time on TV and in paparazzi photos. Female actresses and models that look amazingly tone and trim after years of partying and having children. Madonna comes to mind first, followed by Angelina Jolie, Halle Berry and Rebecca Romijn. A few of my friends who have had children and are workout fanatics have come to find that there is no way to get all those body parts back together without a little help.
What would you do if a top plastic surgeon and a free surgical treatment of your choice were dropped into your lap? I used to roll my eyes at people who got these surgeries but now after 2 pregnancies my opinion has changed. Its one thing to get surgery for the heck of it but slicing into your body is a whole other topic when your skin is stretched beyond belief due to having babies.
I’ve come to realize that it’s either suck it up and deal with the changes or finally open my mind to the world of lifts, suction and tummy tucks. Botox is another thing that is starting to flow around my mom’s group so this lead me to think. If I could have a free makeover what would I do?
Here is what I decided. I would have my top eye lids and breasts lifted and the remaining pooch from having babies touched up. Why do you ask or shall I say my mother? Well, droopy eye lids run in my family and it makes us all look very tired. Even though I have been blessed with size D breasts after having 2 babies they do sag a bit. My friends who have totally toned up after children can’t seem to get rid of that last bit of tummy fat from their bellies no matter how many sit ups they do.
I guess the thing to remember is that there are different levels to anything and it’s the same with surgery. I’ve heard that actresses like Patricia Heaton from Everybody Loves Raymond had lifting done after having 4 children not full blown surgery. That sounds less invasive to me. What would you have done if you were offered a free makeover?

That my friend is a tough question.
Boobs or Belly?
Unfortunately for me, 18 months of breast feeding has left me with teeny tiny boobs (thank goodness for Victoria Secret's bras), and 5 years later, I'm down to 20% bodyfat which is terrific, but my stomach is not as flat as it once was and my thighs are looking a little chunky. So the question is will amazingly beautiful breasts distract from everything else, or do you shoot for small everything???
