When you are pregnant, your body accumulates and retains deposits of fat in order to store energy for your baby. Although this is a healthy development, these fat deposits can be very difficult to get rid of after your baby is born.

For this reason, many women choose to include liposuction as part of their mommy makeover treatment plan.
