A mom has been trolled for admitting she made changes to her body after giving birth.
Mom of two Nika Diwa chose to have some cosmetic surgery after her second daughter with her husband of eight years.
She shared her choice with her 1.3 million Instagram followers, but not everyone was respectful of her “mommy makeover.”
“Your abs look amazing”
Nika boasts over 2 million subscribers on YouTube and on that platform, later shared an update on her surgery after three weeks.
“Your abs look amazing and you haven’t done a single core workout,” her husband tells her in the clip.
“It’s a massive transformation.”
Nika says she was happy with her 34C breasts and figure but admitted she wasn’t confident with the look of the excess skin on her abdomen.
Her husband reassured her: “You’re gorgeous, you are beautiful, you are my wife and I love every inch.”
Nika’s fans were touched by how her husband supported her amid the wave of trolling responses.
“I’m proud about it”
Nika initially explained in her Instagram post:
“I feel there needs to be space for a woman to be selfish for herself so I got a mummy makeover and I’m f’ing proud about it.”
Many people said she was “inspirational”, but others argued surgery is dangerous and shouldn’t be normalised.
“No let’s not celebrate mummy makeovers, a lot of women can’t afford such a procedure,” one said.
“It’s ok you shared this, but no, mummy makeovers are, in my opinion, not normal nor common to the less privileged, day-to-day mummas.”
Another viewer said cosmetic surgery shouldn’t be linked to motherhood.
“You altered your body ’cause you didn’t like the way it looked anymore… it’s not called “mummy makeover” it’s a tummy tuck,” they wrote.
“Why attach motherhood to needing surgery due to you not enjoying your body anymore after having kids?
“Do as you please but calling it a mummy makeover is insane to me. Many people who aren’t mothers still get tummy tucks, breast lifts and their butts done.”
But the majority of comments supported the mom.
“It’s your body! Do what makes you feel good! You look phenomenal mama!!!” one person said.
Another added:
“Your husband is raising the bar for every single man out there! Just love his praises for you! You are a beautiful woman and with or without your mummy makeover you are beautiful!”
