It is great you give a history of the mommy make overs during the reality tv era. That was a great point of view. And writing about the social media era of mommy make over culture we are currently in now.
This is sooooooo good!!! "However, framing plastic surgery as a wand that can undo the realities of life and the experiences that have changed our bodies is wrong."
This piece also made me realize that body enhancements/etc. have become more common due to the daily use of social media. We're "required" to look good every day as opposed to just when we pop out. 😩
Thank you for reading and commenting! You're absolutely right. Even in what used to be our private spaces, we're expected to look good. When can we rest???😩
"A body that has been changed by life, pregnancy, hormones, filler, etc. is not a canvas that can be nipped and tucked back to a 19-year-old version of itself." I need to remember this!!! Thank you for such a well written piece
This is so muhfuckin real friend. As time move we bring our experiences with us like badges of honor! My mom used this “back to me” logic for a breast lift and I hated it. Thank you for articulating this. x

Thank you for reading and commenting! It felt important to mention because social media hides a lot of the difficult reality of having surgery.

Thank you for reading and commenting friend! That way of thinking can be pretty damaging if we invest in it.
