Yup CopperLeaf, the mommy makeover is kinda the new 'thing' these days. While I find it a little offputting, I think for many women plastic surgery isn't about looking good for anyone but themselves. The idea behind the name is that it addresses what issues are typically caused by pregnancy. Like the name or not, MANY women do it every year! But the term has been floating around the plastic surgery industry for a few years now. But I agree, they need to be adding the daddy makeover to the list!!!!!!!!!! |

I have to say, I'm not sure pregnancy and breastfeeding are really the cause....it's age. <_< My children were adopted but at about age 36 I started noticing the serious effects of gravity. Not to say pregnancy & breastfeeding don't make a difference....but not sure it's fair to lay all blame there.....it's just old boobs. In fact, my ob/gyn talked about how at my age (39) we are now capable of getting good mammogram readings because our breast tissue breaks down and makes the reading clear - if you're too young your firm breast tissue can mask problems on the mammogram so they often use ultrasound for younger women. So....yippeee....my breasts are now flabby so I can have a mammogram! Anyway....just chiming in that I'm also offended. Love the idea of the Daddy special, too. And, if my husband bought me this "package" for Mother's Day he'd be missing a package of his own! And served with divorce papers.

I am with you Copperleaf. I see nothing wrong with those moms who want to make themselves feel better by getting some plastic surgery after they have had kids. Have I had my breasts done or my tummy tucked? No. Fortunately, despite gaining 60 lbs. and delivering twins (weighing 7.5 lbs each) I have managed to maintain my pre-pregnancy weight (though would love to have my pre-preggo boobs.) I don't consider wanting a nice figure vain in the least. |

Well, if the "What to Expect When You're Expecting" book was right in the explanation of what happens to the tatas... basically pregnancy stretches them and breastfeeding depletes the fat in the breast leaving them "thinner" than before... so what you end up with are stretched out skinny boobs <_< Do your boobs hang low to they wobble to a fro... can you tie them in a knot or tie 'em in a bow... can you throw them over your shoulder like a Continental soldier... do your boobs hang low? |

I remember my SIL trying to deal with explaining b.j.'s and stained dresses to her kiddos.
Made me glad not to be a parent. And now there is: ED, 'erection lasting longer then 4 hours', priapism (spelling?), "mom I smell funky", yeast infection, UTI, The Vicky Ads (bras with wings *eye roll*),...... AARP has Jamie Lee Curtis on its cover - damm I wanna look like her at her age!!! |

I don't think it's vain at all. If, when I get to that age, I'm not happy with what I see I woudn't be opposed to plastic surgery. I'll just add it to the list. I already want my nose done. Well, maybe I am vain... I just think the advertising angle was wrong. |

honestly, as a mom, it's not terribly shocking to me. I had twins and though i got right back to my prepregancy weight after gaining 60ish lbs, my "figure" was never the same, what happened to my tummy????? Like a deflated balloon - and it was very upsetting because though I weighed the same, my clothes didn't fit anymore and this sagging stretched out skin around my midsection made me look heavier than i was (and now am
I did look into the cost for a tummy tuck after no amount of working out and pilates would make it any better. many thousands of dollars I didn't have so didn't do it, and not sure if I would have been able to go through with it anymore being somewhat surgery avoidant.So yes, there are definitely *things* that happen to your body after having kids, that aren't just going to snap back (unless you're a hollywood star!). It's really sad because my tummy was always a strong point in my body, not it's just a space for more fat to hang out

I don't think there is anything wrong at all with being fit or looking good. I am VERY committed to health and physical fitness. The whole tone of the ad irritated me because it not-so-subtley implied that if "you" (women, collectively) didn't have a PERFECT body then you better pony up a serious wad of cash to address that horrifying issue. :angry: ESPECIALLY if you had just given birth and had sags and wrinkles in the "wrong" places. It wasn't about looking or feeling good for you, it was looking and feeling good for everyone else.
that's why it irritated me so much! It's the whole societal mindset that every woman must look like Barbie. No matter what her other skills and attributes. But if someone wants to do it for themselves to look and feel better, hey, go for it! I have several friends who have gone this route actually, and were very happy they did so.Maybe i"m just sensitive b/c if anyone could use a boob job, it's me! (but not to hike the girls back up, to put 'em there in the first place! hahaha) . I'd never do it though... just think what I could do with an extra $8K laying around... buy that super-duper-expensive French saddle that I'm drooling over, AND have a nice chunk left over for an awesome vacation somewhere... Argentina... Hawaii... Alaska... Patagonia...
