First of all, what is a Mommy Makeover? This procedure combines multiple cosmetic enhancement techniques to help restore the body to its pre-pregnancy figure.

Last Friday, we asked our Facebook Fans If there was such a thing called “Lollipop” Breast Lift? The answer is YES! A woman's breasts often change over time, losing their youthful shape and firmness. These changes and loss of skin elasticity can result from: pregnancy, breast feeding, weight fluctuations, aging, gravity and heredity.

Sometimes the areola becomes enlarged over time, and a breast lift will reduce this as well. A breast lift can rejuvenate your figure with a breast profile that is youthful and uplifted. It is important... Continue Reading
