For women having babies over the age 45 on average has risen 47%. There are a number of health risks women over forty faces with pregnancy. The chances of fetuses having chromosomal defects increase with mothers 40 and over.  Women over 40 also have aesthetic concerns the skins elasticity and what pregnancy will do to their figures.

Many innovations in the plastic surgery industry make liposuction a safe procedure with a relatively quick recovery time. When the baby bump is gone and you still have baby lumps let liposuction help.
