The Mommy Makeover Gains Popularity

We’ve all heard of post-baby gifts, from expensive jewelry to luxurious vacations for the new mommy, but what about post-baby plastic surgery? Some moms say it’s more of a necessity than a new pair of heart-shaped diamond earrings.

With celebrity moms like Heidi Klum and Halle Berry emerging with slim, toned bodies just weeks after giving birth, the competition is stiff for sexy post-baby bodies. Hollywood aside though, some moms say it’s simply about regaining some of the confidence and yes -- the body they had before.

According to a July 8 ABCNews article, it’s a growing trend called the “Mommy Makeover.” Lauren Bays, an Atlanta, GA mother of three, featured in the story said she chose to have surgery because "I was definitely overweight, definitely not where I wanted to be, and it just seemed like it was harder to get back where I was."

Lauren is not alone. According to a WedMD article, the makeover, which typically entails a series of plastic surgery procedures that restore or improve post-pregnancy bodies, is among the most popular surgeries with a growing number of moms.
