There are books for children on just about every tough subject these days. But Mom’s plastic surgery?
A Florida plastic surgeon has written about just that in “My Beautiful Mommy,” a picture book due out April 28 that tries to calm the fears of children whose parents undergo tummy tucks, breast enhancements and nose jobs.
Dr. Michael Salzhauer of Bal Harbour, Fla., said so many mothers brought kids to their appointments that he was motivated to write the book. It explains the desire for plastic surgery and recuperation,.
“Many parents don’t explain to their kids what’s going on,” said the father of four. “Children are very perceptive. You can’t hide a major surgery from them. When Mom goes down for two weeks after a tummy tuck, it affects them.”
