All I can think of is that young mum who just died recently after having- or trying to have- a Kardashian type bum. I’m sure her kids will gain so much comfort as they grow up without her that their beautiful mummy left them because she wanted to ‘ look better’.
Oh- I hear you all cry - but she did it on the cheap and went to
Turkey. What can you expect?? You only get what you pay for. It’s much safer in the UK. You’ll be fine...........yes, I expect that’s what Denise Henry’s mates told her. She was the wife of Colin Hendry , a footballer, and could afford the best. She was unhappy with the baby weight she couldn’t shift on her tummy so just went for a bit of liposuction. A teeny operation that’s all it was. A teeny operation that went horribly horribly wrong....she didn’t die on the table, she had 7 years to regret her vanity and to struggle with awful pain before dying and leaving 4 ( I think) children without a mum.
Look, ultimately it’s your decision and nobody’s decision than yours. As you may realise I simply do not understand the obsession people have with having practically perfect bodies. It’s (in my opinion) shameful to put yourself through unnecessary surgery when there are risks involved. Your tummy and c section scars are battle wounds that you got while growing your babies and giving them life. I have a friend with a perfect body who would trade it in a heartbeat for the baby her perfect Looking body can’t give her.
Nobody knows what’s round the corner. Your kids would probably prefer a holiday with their mummy, having fun together and making some memories rather than mummy spending the money on a flat tummy. Ultimately it’s your money to do what you want with.
But will it REALLY make that much difference? Will your relationship with this new guy - or if this one doesn’t last the next one- be made so much better by having this operation? What if you fall madly in love and he gets a tummy in three years time - will you expect him to have surgery to remove it?
Oh, just ignore me. It’s one of my biggest bugbears. I honestly can’t believe sometimes what the human race has become - men and women having unnecessary surgery to improve their bodies when thousands of kids still die every day because they haven’t got clean water to drink.
It’s up to you. It’s your money, spend it how you choose and if this makes you happy who am I to play devils advocate?
But please please check out the clinic and all risks involved.
If one of your children wanted a non health related surgey that they thought would make them happy but you could risk loosing them would you let them have it? ( I know a child wouldn’t be allowed a face lift or a bit of lipo , I’m just asking you to think- would you let Them? )
Would they want you to have it even though the risks are small?
Whatever you decide or decide to say to people I really really hope everything goes well.
To your kids you are utterly beautiful already I’m sure . I bet they wouldn’t change a hair on your head.
