Cosmetic Surgery is a hit with New Mothers

Nina Wendell is a new mother. She’s getting used to around-the-clock feeds, changing soiled diapers, a little baby who totally depends on her. But what Nina can’t get used to is her post-pregnancy figure. She’s not as slim and attractive as she used to be and this does upset her a bit. Nina, like several new mothers these days, is considering cosmetic surgery. Cosmetic surgery is one of the processes new mothers are going through in order to look good after having their baby.

Research by online bank Egg revealed that 0.2 per cent of mums admitted to having surgery and 0.3 per cent have had botox. Other ways of regaining their body confidence are a new hairdo, new clothes, visiting a beautician and employing a personal trainer.

Previous research by Mother and Baby magazine showed that two-thirds of new mothers thought about their shape every day and sixty per cent believed they would be happier if they could change their figure.

Of those considering plastic surgery, liposuction, tummy tucks and breast implants were the most popular.
