April 19th 2008 19:01
London, April 18 (ANI): Ever wondered how will you react to your child's incessant queries about your latest boob job or tummy tuck? Well, a leading US plastic surgeon has come to the rescue of all the mums, by releasing a new book, which aims to explain kids why their mom is going under the knife.
Dr. Michael Salzhauer is set to release his controversial book My Beautiful Mommy, the first book to describe cosmetic surgery to children, this Mother's Day.
Dr. Salzhauer revealed that he had the idea after seeing women bring their children with them to consultations.
"Parents tend to go into this denial thing. They just try to ignore the kids' questions completely. But kids fill in the blanks in their imagination. With the tummy tucks, mums can't lift anything. They're in bed. The kids have questions," The Sun quoted him, as saying.
The book, aimed at kids under seven, features a superhero surgeon called Dr. Michael and a girl whose mother gets a tummy tuck, nose job and breast implants.
Before she goes for the chop, the mum tells her daughter: "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."
Her nose surgery, she explains, will make her look "not just different, my dear -- prettier!"
After the operation, mum emerges "even more beautiful" than before. (ANI)
