It’s clear that plastic surgery has become a viable option for all age groups and demographics. In particular, studies have shown that both the young and the old – as well as everyone in between – are open to improving their appearance where possible. It turns out there’s another under-reported group of society partaking in their fair share of cosmetic surgery: mothers.
ACCORDING TO NEW RESEARCH, ‘MUMMY MAKEOVERS’ ARE A REAL THING – AND THEY’RE PARTLY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE SPIKE WE’RE SEEING IN PLASTIC SURGERY.
The term ‘mummy makeover’ is being used to describe new mums who turn to going under the knife after giving birth. This is largely down to the impact that pregnancy has had on their bodies, including weight gain and sagging breasts. There are, however, also those people using plastic surgery as a mental boost as they adjust to the demands of motherhood.
Richard Baxter, a plastic surgeon from Seattle, Washington, revealed that the trend has certainly become more prominent over recent years. He told Allure: “We’ve definitely seen an uptick in mummy makeover-type procedures. I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that most new moms are millennials, and they tend to be more accepting of the idea [of plastic surgery].”
Meanwhile, it’s been found that the age group most eager to undergo a ‘mummy makeover’ is those aged 25 to 34. The findings were discovered by RealSelf, who suggested it’s further proof that millennials are typically more accepting of sugically altering their appearance than previous generations before them.
Interestingly, men have also been found to embrace plastic surgery after becoming fathers. While with women this decision is generally because they want to return to their pre-pregnancy bodies, dads are interested in cosmetic surgery as a means of recapturing their youth or making strides in their career. Last year the American Society for Plastic Surgery reported that young men undergoing cosmetic procedures has shot up by 325% since 1997 as a result.
