The Mommy Makeover is a combination plastic surgery procedure that addresses the needs of women who have been through pregnancy and are not happy with the effects of pregnancy on their body. You may be thinking about a Mommy Makeover for yourself, and one of the questions you probably have is: How do you explain a Mommy Makeover to your children?
A Mommy Makeover is called a combination procedure because it combines multiple procedures into one surgery to treat the areas affected most by pregnancy such as the breasts, abdomen, hips, thigh and buttocks. The goal of a Mommy Makeover is to restore and/or improve upon a woman's pre-childbirth figure. Post-childbirth plastic surgery is not exactly something a young child might understand when they see Mommy come home with the bruising, swelling and other side-effects of the procedures she's had. Likewise, steps in the recovery process could raise questions or arouse curiosity.
Dr. Michael Salzhauer of Bal Harbour, Florida came up up with a solution. He wrote a book called My Beautiful Mommy, which helps calm a child's fears, adress their questions and explain the experience of a Mommy Makeover to children using honest, age-appropriate language and rich, colorful illustrations.
