Mommy "Nip/Tucks" on the Rise
Once these women decide that the baby they are having is their last, they seek to eliminate all traces of their baby-carrying days. Over 325,000 tummy tucks, breast augmentations, and breast lifts were performed on women aged 20-39 last year. Plastic surgeons have dubbed these post-baby packages “Mommy Makeovers.”
Sociologists say the reason for the up-tick in these surgeries may be because of Hollywood influence, especially the emphasis (and totally misguided lavish praise) placed on actresses who loose weight quickly after pregnancy.
I’m pretty ti-yerd of hearing about how “slim” actresses look just 6 weeks post-partum, and how the priority is not on taking time out to bond and be a mother but on working out so people will still think you’re hot. The frenzy surrounding how quickly women can return to their pre-pregnancy weight is sickening. Perhaps these women need to spend some time on this site.
