The Post-Pregnancy ‘Mom-Job’
From The New York Times
By NATASHA SINGER
DR. DAVID A. STOKER, a plastic surgeon in Marina Del Rey, Calif., has a surgical cure for the ravages of motherhood. He, like many plastic surgeons nationwide, calls it a “mommy makeover.”
Aimed at mothers, it usually involves a trifecta: a breast lift with or without breast implants, a tummy tuck and some liposuction. The procedures are intended to hoist slackened skin as well as reduce stretch marks and pregnancy fat.
Tango’s Take
Sure, all of these things are important. Having another person grow inside of you and then feed on you for nine months and twelve months, respectively, can do some damage. But what about having a human being extracted through your lady business? We’re shocked that some level of hoo-hah reconstruction isn’t considered. Sure those parts are only stretched for a limited time (compared to boobs and bellies) but the instant trauma is a little more intense. To the degree of pushing a marble through a stir straw. Then again, we’ve read that new mothers are typically healthy enough to go back to intercourse after only a few weeks. This ‘Mom Job’ trend is not really that surprising. We’re all trying to stay younger and hotter for as long as we can and nothing says old and not hot better than saddlebags and saggy breasts. Nothing except obvious toupees and love handles in a banana hammock.
Discussion
My 52-year-old girlfriend is *the* hottest woman I've ever dated, bar none. She can put a lot of these 20-year-old hottie wanna-be's with their troweled-on makeup and their fake everything to shame. So what if she's got a couple more wrinkles? She's got a killer smile and still a great body if I do say so myself. You don't have to be young to be a hottie... even after kids...
Besides, it's pretty obvious when a 40-year-old walks in with nips sticking up like guns on a battleship that she's fake. How embarrassing. Too bad everyone else knows it but her. And getting rid of the saddlebags just takes a little bit of exercise and laying off the Krispy Kremes, but women nowadays would rather get an instant makeover under the knife than to exercise a little self-control for a while. Too boring, I guess.
