6. Vanity, Plastic Surgery, and Celebrating Differences in the Face of Raising Daughters

I share my thought process surrounding my decision to get plastic surgery after having my two kids. I touch on how I broach not only my upcoming surgery but also aesthetic topics more generally with my daughter.

I feel strongly about the need to encourage more open, less shame-based discourse about the female body. We start this by discussing and honoring our decisions and helping support earlier generations in embracing differences and loving themselves.

Specifically regarding my approach in managing these conversations with my daughter are the following three tenets:

• Leading my example (actions over words)

• Being mindful of shame-based talk

• Acknowledging and sometimes neutralizing our children’s commentary
