Don't Suck it in, Tummy Tuck it in: Alpha Moms Go From Flab to Fab!

In today's society, does anybody shoulder more responsibilities than the working mother? I'm going to have to bite "no" on that one. Granted, I've never done the mom thing myself, but based on feedback gathered during countless venting sessions over coffee, late-night phone calls, and retail therapy with female friends and relatives, I have nothing but respect and admiration for these modern-day heroines. Successful working moms, or "alpha moms" as they're sometimes called, bust their butts to do it all, and as a result, they often overlook their own upkeep and self-preservation. But thanks to cosmetic treatments like liposuction, breast augmentation, and tummy tucks, working moms can keep doing it all and keep up their formerly rockin' bodies.

Ode to the Alpha Moms

Masters of multitasking, working moms can raise "baby Einsteins" while increasing company profits, keep passion alive in the bedroom and prudence alive in the kitchen, and diligently track their finances while tracking the latest trends in footwear. It almost doesn't seem fair that amidst these unpredictable factors, our bodies won't just do as they're told! And unfortunately, without a bank account to rival Paris Hilton's, or another means to pay personal trainers and nutritionists to remake you, getting back that pre-baby body just can't happen right away with conventional diet and exercise.

For those who can relate to feeling trapped beneath bills and diapers rather than personal chefs and pool boys, you need not despair of wearing a bikini again. Even when stubborn, post-baby tummies seem hopeless, options like tummy tucks can restore your faith. The tummy tuck, one of the most popular surgical procedures today, as well as the mini tummy tuck, are ideal for alpha moms who are feeling a bit flabby.
Telling Tummy Tucks

Tummy tucks, aka Abdominoplasties or Abdominal Lipectomies, remove excess fat and skin around the stomach, tighten muscles, and reposition tissue for a flatter, tighter tummy. For working moms of all shapes and sizes, there are three tummy tuck categories to choose from: the extended, the standard, and the mini. Extended tummy tucks are helpful for moms who are packing multiple car seats in their vehicle and want to tighten the entire abdomen and sides of the torso. Standard tummy tucks effectively tone up the entire belly region, and mini tummy tucks target the lower abdomen, for moms desperately missing their low-rise jeans.

So, alpha moms, and stay-at-home moms too, this tuck's for you. Meet with your local plastic surgeon to get the whole scoop on tummy tucks, including risks, benefits, and options for combined procedures. Tummy tucks are permanent, which is great, but your results can be still be affected by future weight fluctuations and pregnancies; so if your heart's set on three little tykes and you just had your second child, maybe wait until number three arrives before completing your tummy tuck and liposuction package.
