It's swimsuit season and some women will be relying on more than just diet and exercise to get a bikini bod. The American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) did a survey and found that 62% of moms says they'd consider turning to plastic surgery to get the job done.
"Mommy makeovers" are on the rise. We're talking about procedures like tummy tucks, breast augmentation and/or breast lifts. Check out the stats from 2010. Last year, women had:
-
112,000 tummy tucks, up 85% since 2000
-
90,000 breast lifts, up 70% since 2000
-
296,000 breast augmentations, up 39% since 2000
These numbers may be reflective of the fact that plastic surgery is more common and more accepted than it was just ten years ago. Procedures now are less invasive and technologies have improved. “In the last decade we’ve seen women’s attitudes about cosmetic surgery change. Today women are not afraid to admit that they love their children, but they wish their bodies looked the way they did before their first pregnancies. And they’re not afraid to acknowledge that they may need a little help beyond a healthy diet and exercise,” said ASPS President Phillip Haeck, MD.
