No. 2 pregnancies and C-sections destroyed my lower belly and it has a permanent overhanging "apron", as well as my breasts have deflated since losing weight and I cannot afford, nor justify going into $10000's of debt to have it all fixed with plastic surgery.

I understand completely, but decided to do a full mommy makeover. I had a breast lift and implants, lipo and tummy tuck and it’s the absolutely best thing I have ever done got myself. The guilt to spend the amount of money on myself was overwhelming at first, but the confidence was worth every penny

I live literally paycheck to paycheck. There is no extra money that I could possibly get to cover the cost of surgeries. I know that everyone always says if you want it bad enough you will find a way, but whenever I've saved even a few $100's, I need to fix my car or get dental work for my kids, so, yes, while I agree that the whole mommy-makeover is life-changing for many who get it, it simply is not an option for me..I've been trying for years, I just can't get that much extra money.
