Cardi B, the Grammy-winning rapper, has had quite the year.
Besides taking over the charts and becoming the first female artist to win the Grammy for Best Rap Album, she also became a mom in 2018.
Cardi welcomed a baby girl named Kulture in July 2018.
Since becoming a mom, Cardi B has been candid about her highs and lows.
She revealed that she suffered from postpartum depression and that her self-esteem was affected by how her body changed as a result of pregnancy.
However, it looked like Cardi’s body bounced back from pregnancy quickly.
Her abs were the talk of the Billboard Music Awards and many wondered how she had dropped the baby weight so quickly.
That’s when Cardi revealed that she had undergone liposuction procedures and had a breast augmentation.
The surgeries and her recovery forced her to pull out of some high-profile shows.
Cardi was set to headline Parklife in the U.K., but had to cancel due to complications from the surgeries. Needless to say, fans were not happy.
The news that Cardi had plastic surgery following her pregnancy has divided the internet.
Some thought that she could have lost the baby weight through diet and exercise without any surgery.
Cardi responded to the criticism saying , “My job as an entertainer is a 24-hour job, bro. So no I don’t have time to work out. I wanted specific things that I know that no matter how much I work out won’t get fixed.”
Now other moms who have had plastic surgery following the birth of their children are speaking out.
“I feel that everything else I can work towards going to the gym and I can work to get that back. You can’t really stop your breasts from sagging after you’ve breastfed,” said Maya, a mom who is considering plastic surgery following the birth of her daughter, in an interview with BBC.
Other moms who lost a drastic amount of weight following the birth of their children have considered procedures like fat transfers.
“You see all these women on social media with really curvy bodies, which is the in-thing right now, to be ultra curvy. Big bum, big thighs – Kim Kardashian,” said Luan, a mom who was interested in plastic surgery.
At the end of the day, we can all agree that there is a lot of pressure on moms and what their bodies look like.
There’s no denying that a woman’s body will change after pregnancy, and every mom needs to do what’s best for her.
Some will embrace the mummy tummy, others will look into exercise rotuines, and some might opt for plastic surgery. Whatever they decide is their choice.
