Getting a boob job? Tummy tuck? Nose job? Cheek implants? Whatever your pleasure is, now you have an easy way to tell your kids that you're going for surgery and may look different. Trust me - I'm writing this trying not to fall over from laughing too hard.
Surgeon Dr. Michael Salzhauer from Florida, has written a book, specifically a "kid's book" titled My Beautiful Mommy and it helps you, as a mom, talk to your child about your recent plastic surgery. It's geared towards kids between the ages of 4 and 7 and helps answer those tough questions - like when your six year old asks why your boobs are way bigger and not hanging to your waist anymore. Or why mommy is scary looking doesn't quite look the same.

"My Beautiful Mommy is aimed at kids ages four to seven and features a plastic surgeon named Dr. Michael (a musclebound superhero type) and a girl whose mother gets a tummy tuck, a nose job and breast implants. Before her surgery the mom explains that she is getting a smaller tummy: 'You see, as I got older, my body stretched and I couldn't fit into my clothes anymore. Dr. Michael is going to help fix that and make me feel better.' Mom comes home looking like a slightly bruised Barbie doll with demure bandages on her nose and around her waist"
Naturally, it has a happy ending: mommy winds up "even more" beautiful than before, and her daughter is thrilled."
Right.
Dr. Salzhauer explains, "I tried to skirt that issue in the text itself. The tummy lends itself to an easy explanation to the children: extra skin and can't fit into your clothes. The breasts might be a stretch for a six-year-old." Hmm.
Mother's Day is coming up - this would make a great gift idea for those women in your life that are about to have plastic surgery or recently had it. Better run out and get your copy before they sell out. Run!!!!!!!
