The propensity for women to put others before themselves is both a gift and a curse. For mothers especially, the more they esteem their children and other members of their family as their top priority, the more they put their appearance, health, and well-being on the backburner. They often don’t realize this has happened until they are facing either a major health setback or a daunting 360-degree fitting room mirror. In these confrontational moments, they exchange the much kinder phrase, “I’ve been putting others before myself” for the much harsher phrase: “I let myself go!”
1. Don’t beat yourself up.
The ability to achieve balance as a mother is a lifelong pursuit. If you are experiencing excess weight or an otherwise less-than-perfect appearance because you have been busy with life in general, there is no reason for negative self-talk. The easiest way to restore balance in your life is to tip the scale back in your direction for some quality “me-time.” Doing so is not a selfish act; it’s something that will give you the confidence and energy to excel at what you do best: being a mother.
2. Change the way you think.
Most mothers feel a great sense of accomplishment when they can achieve multiple things at once while saving both time and money. Interestingly, Dr. Morales offers a cosmetic procedure that does just that. Designed especially for mothers, the Mommy Makeover combines some of the most popular procedures that restore the appearance of a woman’s pre-pregnancy body: breast lift, breast augmentation, tummy tuck, and liposuction. The combination you choose is based on your particular desires and needs. Because two or more of these procedures are performed in one surgery, you save precious time in recovery along with precious dollars in the bank. All at once, you can have the firmer, more youthful looking breasts you had in your youth along with a toned and sculpted midsection.
In general, the following is what each procedure can accomplish:
Breast Augmentation – Increases the size of the breasts and improves their shape.
Breast Lift – Lifts the breasts to a more youthful position, corrects any apparent sagging, and reduces the size of the areola if desired.
Tummy Tuck – Tightens the muscles of the upper and lower abdomen, corrects diastasis recti, tightens the abdominal skin, and removes stretch marks if they exist on the skin that is removed.
Liposuction – Removes stubborn fat from common “trouble zones” like the arms, back, hips, buttocks, abdomen, and thighs.
Investing in yourself can surprisingly improve the well-being of those closest to you because it allows you to do what you do best. With this in mind, you can pursue the daily balancing act of motherhood with confidence.
