			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The birth of your child is an amazing time.  For nine months, you watch your baby develop and your body change.  Once your child is born, you are overwhelmed with pure joy and with tasks that go along with nurturing this tiny new life.  Many new mothers overlook themselves simply because they can’t find enough hours in the day.</p>
<p>Along with all the joys in having a new baby, there also come a lot of changes with the mother and her body.  Things just are not where they use to be!  For most mothers, you try to find an hour or so a couple times a week to work out, take the weight off, and tighten things back up.  Yet, some things just do not tighten up anymore!</p>
<p>If you have exhausted yourself with diet and exercise and are still not seeing the results you would like, you might want to consider cosmetic surgery.  A <a href="http://www.robertheckmd.com/mommy-makeover.php">mommy makeover</a> has become a very popular way of gaining back that pre-baby body.  Procedures to consider are:</p>
<ul>
<li>Breast Augmentation – To restore the shape and size of your breasts</li>
<li>Breast Lift – Lift sagging breasts</li>
<li>Laser Bra – Adds natural, long lasting shape to a lifted or reduced breast</li>
<li>Tummy tuck – Removal of excess tissue and fat to smooth and flatten the abdominal area</li>
<li>Liposuction – Removal of stubborn, unwanted fat deposits from neck, arms, back, abdomen, love handles, hips, buttocks, inner and outer thighs, and knees</li>
</ul>
<p>It is important to find a plastic surgeon that is skilled in these procedures and who can take the time to find the ones that are right for you.  <a href="http://www.robertheckmd.com/">Dr. Robert Heck, M.D. of Columbus Aesthetic &amp; Plastic Surgery</a> specializes in mommy makeover procedures.  He has been trained in state-of-the-art techniques that provide you with amazing results.  Your consultation with <a href="http://www.robertheckmd.com/about-drheck.php">Dr. Heck</a> will provide you with the answers your need and the plan to get back to a fabulous you!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As any mother will tell you, giving birth to their child was a wonderful miracle that they will forever treasure. They will also tell you that the changes their body endured are not necessarily one of those moments to cherish. <span id="more-290"></span>Unfortunately, after childbirth many women find it hard to get their pre-baby body back. With the weight gain, hormone changes, breast feeding, and those sleepless nights, it sometimes takes more than just diet and exercise to get back into shape.   More often than ever women are now turning to cosmetic surgery and looking into a Mommy Makeover.</p>
<p>This makeover consists of cosmetic procedures designed specifically for women to help restore their figure. If your interest is peaked, here are a few of the <a href="http://www.robertheckmd.com/mommy-makeover.php">benefits of choosing the mommy makeover</a> for yourself.</p>
<p>You don’t have to look and feel worn out anymore. After childbirth, many women will notice additional fat deposits or extra, stretched skin around the mid section. Women may even notice that their breasts have started to sag and have lost their volume. Part of a mommy makeover can include body contouring of the abdominal area which consists of a mini or full tummy tuck or possible liposuction. You may also benefit from a breast lift or possible breast augmentation.  It is time to think of yourself, and let <a href="http://www.robertheckmd.com/">Dr. Heck </a>devise a plan to restore the shape and smooth contour of your body.</p>
<p>As with the other parts of your body affected by pregnancy, a Mommy Makeover can also include contouring of the buttocks, thighs, legs, neck, and arms as well. Vaginal rejuvenation  including labiaplasty is also an option to help restore a more youthful appearance.</p>
<p>Since the mommy makeover is all about providing a woman with the look she wants to regain, it can be tailored to fit any woman’s needs. Your surgery will be customized to fit your needs. The benefits of the mommy makeover are endless when it comes to restoring your self confidence.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A Mommy Makeover is designed to correct problems and changes created by pregnancy and the result of aging. During and after pregnancy, there are several changes that take place to a woman’s body. These changes are sometimes permanent or difficult to correct with diet and exercise.</p>
<p>During pregnancy, women tend to accumulate<span id="more-10"></span> fatty tissue in the mid section including the abdomen, buttocks, thighs, hips, and even arms. After delivery as a result of the accumulation of fatty tissue, women can be left with excess skin and stretch marks.  Women also report that their breasts become saggy and small after pregnancy and/or breastfeeding. The additional mid section weight, excess skin, stretch marks, and the loss of size and volume to the breasts can be very depressing and frustrating for women. Dr. Robert Heck with Columbus Aesthetic and Plastic Surgery takes an individual artistic approach to each woman and mother to correct either one or a combination of these issues. Dr. Heck will look at all aspects of your body and even pre-pregnancy pictures to develop a comprehensive plan to make you feel attractive and youthful again.</p>
<p>One of the most common ways to rejuvenate women’s breasts after pregnancy is either with a breast augmentation or a breast lift. For those women who have just lost volume to their breasts, a breast augmentation may be right for you. For those women who have lost volume but also have an excess of breast tissue and skin, you may be a better candidate for a breast lift.  Dr. Heck has been fellowship trained and specializes in a technique call the <a title="Laser Bra breast lift" href="http://www.robertheckmd.com/laser-bra.php" target="_blank">Laser Bra</a> which can be performed with a traditional breast lift to give woman a natural, longer lasting lift.</p>
<p>Pregnancy can sometimes result with stretch marks (stria), excess skin, and excess fat in the abdominal area. Dr. Heck assesses each patient and their goals to determine whether they are a candidate for liposuction, a mini tummy tuck, a full tummy tuck, or a combination of these procedures. Either option is very safe and effective and can give women their pre-pregnancy, flat, tight stomach back.</p>
<p>Dr. Heck will then address any concerns with your thighs, buttocks, hips, arms or other body areas. Typically with these areas, liposuction can be a quick and successful way to remove excess fat, tighten the skin, re-shape, and contour your body. Dr. Heck performs all types of liposuction such as <a title="Smartlipo Liposuction" href="http://www.robertheckmd.com/liposuction.php" target="_blank">Smartlipo™</a>, <a title="VASER liposelection liposuction" href="http://www.robertheckmd.com/liposuction.php" target="_blank">VASER ® Liposelection</a> , power-assisted, and traditional liposuction. Dr. Heck will carefully choose what type of liposuction would best suit your body for the best results.</p>
<p>A Mommy Makeover is simply a generic term used to describe the options that are available to improve the body following pregnancy. Trust in Dr. Heck, who is experienced and a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, to lead you in the right direction with all your cosmetic decisions. He has been performing Mommy Makeovers for over 10 years and takes an individualized approach to meet the needs of his patients.
