Mums are now able to turn back the body clock thanks to a new procedure called Mummy Tummy Magic.

The cosmetic procedures claim to allow mums to walk in with a post baby body and walk back out a few hours later with their pre-baby body.

Dr Joseph Ajaka from the Cosmos Clinic said it is for people who want to remove those bulges that just will not budge with exercise.

"Mummy Tummy Magic involves removing the fat using a gentle technique called Liquid Lipo and then following that up with tightening of the skin, using a laser," he said.

"That way we have a less invasive procedure, with a quick recovery time and they don't have an ugly scar at the end of it."

Liquid Lipo operates on the same principle as traditional liposuction. Fatty deposits are extracted through a cannular.

"The Liquid Lipo or the Liposoft uses the force of water," Dr Ajaka said.

"The patient can be awake and there's much less trauma to the patient so there's a quicker recovery time."

Dr Jeremy Hunt is a fellow of the Royal Australian College of Surgeons and a member of the Australian Society of Plastic Surgeons.

He warns that anyone considering cosmetic surgery should be cautious.

"Any form of surgery is an invasive procedure so Liposoft needs to be classified with all of the other surgical procedures that carry risks of infection," he said.

"It's not really a decision that should be taken lightly."
