Asked By:pandora72 in Jersey City, NJ

I am 44 years old. I started early menopause when I was 38. I don't have my period for 2 years already. I have two kids 12 & 10 years old, but I always was in shape & my clothes size was 6. After being in menopause my body started changing now I have 20 extra pounds.The extra weight in my belly area, the hips, thighs, and buttocks.I don't like how my body is now. I am considering a tummy tuck with lipo, but I don't want the smile scar on my belly. What do you suggest? thanks
