A new children's book written by a plastic surgeon to explain the growing trend of mommies going under the knife for implants, tummy tucks, and nose jobs.
Supposedly, the book illustrates how the bandages are just temporary and that the kid will get a new and improved mommy in no time.
I'm all for women who want to get their bodies back after child rearing. Because, really, for most of us our bodies look nothing like they did before kids. If you have the money to blow on plastic surgery and it's going to improve your self esteem, I say go for it. Who am I to judge?
Just make sure that you are doing it for the right reasons and not because you feel like you've somehow failed because your body didn't "bounce back" like the celebrities you read about in the check out line at the grocery store.
And for the love of all that is sacred and holy, do NOT buy this travesty of a book. Or tell your daughters that they get a "prettier" version of you. Because that is just wrong.
And since when did nose jobs become a part of the mommy makeover? Last time I checked, I did not give birth to my eight pounder through my nostril.
