Celebrity Bodies; Is it the Mommy Makeover?

Having babies among the celebrities seems to be about as popular as the buzz concerning the fashions they are wearing. The new media term” baby bump” has replaced the word pregnancy in most mainstream media. Whether it is Prince William and Kate, or Kim Kardashian and Kanye West, the paparazzi are following them at every turn. But what happens when the blessed event actually takes place? Once they have their baby that’s when the paparazzi seem to increase the intensity in which they follow them for that most sought after shot. This would be the photo of the woman postpartum with baby fat. Everyone knows that it is impossible to have a baby and end up looking exactly the same within 24 hours. However, for some reason it’s human nature to hold celebrities to a higher standard and to have the expectation that they should look as though they haven’t had a child at all.

Jessica Simpson After Having Her Baby

It wasn’t too long ago that Jessica Simpson suffered stinging comments concerning her weight following the birth of her baby. The comments were not forgotten even after she landed a lucrative contract with a weight loss company. One could justify the harsh treatment by making the excuse that she is a celebrity and should expect the critical eye. Unfortunately, the same critical eyes that look upon her and other celebrity moms are the same critical eyes that many other women will be viewed through as well. Although the majority of Americans do not make a living based on their looks, it is utopia to believe that looks do not have an effect on how we are viewed by others. It is likely that most celebrities or women  in the public eye who have had children take advantage of plastic surgery procedures including breast augmentation and abdominoplasty to achieve their most aesthetically pleasing figure following childbirth. Diet and exercise are critical to their best appearance; however, diet and exercise alone will not yield the same results as plastic surgery. Dr. Seify helps his patients understand that choosing to have a “mommy makeover ”which is a combination of procedures together, that could include abdominoplasty, breast augmentation, breast lift, or liposuction, is not cheating or taking the easy way out. The combination procedure is more popular now than ever before. Dr. Seify consults with each patient and helps them to understand which procedures will be most beneficial in helping them to achieve the results that they desire. Patients who are considering the “mommy makeover “are encouraged to contact Dr. Seify and schedule a consultation.
