My Wife Says: 10 Reasons to Get Plastic Surgery after the Baby - Part 2

Cole Gamble — Tue, 17 Mar 2009 17:00:00 GMT

7) After the surgery, you can really milk the fact that you just had surgery and can't do much; therefore you get some much needed R&R and time to yourself.

8) If you have a significant other, they may tell you that you are still beautiful and that it is up to you to make up your mind about having surgery done. That is a lie. They DO love you, but don't want to insult you by cheering for plastic surgery.

9) Most men love breasts, and the way they do them now, they are so natural looking, and your stomach gets very tight. It will add so much spark to your sex life.

10) Don't feel bad that they are so turned on by the "new you". They've always loved you but now you're smokin' hot so they can't help themselves

Bonus Reason: 11) Don't let other women try to talk you out of it and call you shallow. If you are doing it for the right reasons, there is nothing wrong with gaining more confidence in yourself. Just because you're a mom, you don't have to look the part!

My Wife Says: 10 Reasons to Get Plastic Surgery after the Baby

Cole Gamble — Thu, 12 Mar 2009 17:00:00 GMT

Look, ladies. I’m not saying YOU NEED PLASTIC SURGERY. You look great. Never better. Amazingly you haven’t lost that pregnancy glow.

We good? Okay. There are some women, however, that may feel their body lost something in the baby making process. That’s certainly how my wife felt, which is why she insisted I write this post. During her second (and final, I assure you) pregnancy, Nicole vowed she’d be getting a tummy tuck. After the birth, she wouldn’t even let me see her stomach, but assured me it looked like a marsupial pouch. Some women’s bodies snap back remarkably well. Nicole’s skin is not so elastic. According to her, our children “ruined her.” I didn’t think so, but when it comes to plastic surgery, it’s a person’s own esteem that is the most important consideration.

Nicole is incredibly happy with her surgeries (she had breast augmentation as well as her chest looked significantly different after two kids). And these are the reasons, in her words, why you might want post-baby plastic surgery too.

1) Most doctors will let you on a payment program. You can also submit it to your insurance company; say if you’re deflated, flabby stomach is bothering your lower back.

2) Let's face it, there are a lot of women who have had babies and you'd never know by looking at them. But there are some pretty damaged bodies out there as well. Don't feel bad; be at least grateful that you can be fixed!

3) A breast augmentation can look very natural. They use silicone again and now put the implant under the muscle, so it’s your breast that you see. Get a teardrop shaped implant so they don't look fake. Your breasts will look great and not like dirty tube socks anymore.

4) The other invaluable surgery is a tummy tuck. A lot of stretched out skin is removed, but most importantly, they sew back your fascia muscle to look flat again. (You know the mini butt on your tummy? That is the fascia the muscle).

5) Many women, post surgery, have found that they look better after the surgery than they ever had before.

6) The procedures are a bit painful, but if you have birth or had a C-section, it is a breeze.

New Mom Jessica Alba Was Totally Photoshopped - Check Out the Before & After Pics

SunnyChanel — Mon, 08 Dec 2008 23:30:00 GMT

Seeing Jessica Alba showing off her sleek and lithe body in the recent Campari campaign totally pissed me off. Yeah, I was jealous. After 2 ½ years I still don’t have my belly back in any semblance of it’s prebaby form. So I was partly thrilled and partly disgusted to see the leaked photos that prove that they did a total PhotoShop overhaul on Jessica Alba’s body, the new mother of a five month old.

The graphics team made some pretty drastic changes to the images taken by Mario Testino. They took off inches from her waist and hips, gave a lift to her bustline and made her skin look like flawless buttered caramel. Thing is she looks just as good in her original photos, it doesn’t seem like they needed to make the adjustments they did, or as drastically. Regardless, pre PhotoShop she still looks amazing after having a baby five months ago. And yes, I’m still jealous.

Do you think they needed to make so many changes to Jessica Alba's image?

New Mom Jessica Alba Poses in Campari Calendar

To the right we have a skimpily clad Jessica Alba, posing with a cocktail just six months after the birth of her baby. You might be thinking, “What’s the big deal? Yet another celebrity with a personal trainer and a personal stylist looks like a model mere months after giving birth. Who cares?” You may have a point.

Or this photo shoot may be a little different—because when Campari’s photographer chose Alba for their 2009 calendar, he was not thinking about showing off her “post-baby bod.” He was simply looking for someone who could best, ah, embody Campari’s mission of bringing its customers “twelve months of pure Red Passion.”

Putting aside my personal feelings about Jessica Alba (and the absurdly liberal use of photoshop in these pictures), I found myself interested in the 2009 Campari calendar for its blatant sexualization of a new mother. I’m certainly no proponent of sexualizing new moms (or any young women) to sell a product, but I found myself wondering if there was something a tiny bit cool about the media’s willingness to view sexiness as independent of motherhood (inasmuch as any impossible-standards-of-beauty marketing can be cool).

Then again, no media outlet that has covered the story so far has refrained from oohing and ahhing over Alba’s amazingly slender, yet curvaceous “post-baby bod.”

What do you think: yet another example of making women feel that they should be both devoted mothers and fit, sexy women, or an example of a decidedly sleazy campaign widening, ever so slightly, the definitions of sexiness and motherhood?

Matthew McConaughey keeps placenta

Brett Singer — Tue, 12 Aug 2008 15:00:00 GMT

When I first saw the headline, "McConaughey plans placenta burial", I thought, "Ah. A new high/low in celebrity wackiness."

It turns out, though, that burying the placenta is a not uncommon practice in some cultures. In fact, you can even purchase a Placenta Burial Jar online. So making fun of it would be, at best, culturally insensitive.

Still, I have questions. Like, where do you keep the placenta until the burial? In a jar? In the fridge? What does it smell like? And "burial" seems like a morbid term to me, even though that is, literally, what you are doing. And do you visit the site of the burial? Matt says that he was inspired by a "placenta tree" he saw in Australia, so maybe he hopes a tree will pop up where little Levi's former food supply is put in the ground. So, like, road trip to see the placenta?

In some cultures, the placenta is, um, eaten. I guess Matt didn't want to go that far. No word on whether or not he'll keep his damn fool shirt on during the ceremony.
