One book says extreme mommy makeovers don't send a bad message to kids. What do you think?
Even mommies get the body blues, but what about when diet and exercise just will not get the baby weight off? Of course, it's your call when it comes to going under the knife -- but what kind of message do kids get when all the worry lines they worked so hard to give mommy suddenly disappear?
In our eyes, our moms are the most beautiful women in the world and don't need any changes. What does it say if mom wants to make a drastic change in order to feel her prettiest? As kids grow, are they going to think that "beautiful" means young, thin and wrinkle-free?
Some feel it might not be a blip on their child's radar -- while other moms think going under the knife will cause permanently damage their kid's body image. So how will the kiddos cope with seeing a mommy who suddenly looks completely different? Well, one doctor wrote a book to help the wee ones cope with the transformation.
Dr. Michael Salzhauer wrote "My Beautiful Mommy" -- and yes, we do know that it's a little hard to believe. But the reality is that we do live in a world where plastic surgery has become so common that there is a children's book dealing with how to cope with your mom's new look.
You tell us: Do you think a mother's choice to get plastic surgery can have a damaging effect on young kids?
