Somehow, 2015 turned into the year of the “Dad Bod” after a few male celebrities proudly sported some extra pounds.

But when I did some digging to see if the “Mom Bod” was getting any traction, I found the opposite. Now, apparently, it’s all about the “Mom Job.”

Also known as the Mommy Makeover, the Mom Job is a trio of cosmetic procedures that includes breast enhancement, liposuction, and a tummy tuck. The average price is somewhere between $10,000 and $30,000.

Husbands have talked about how hot their wives “used to be.”

Pregnancy can certainly ravage the female body — a once-ample chest eventually deflates. Taut stomachs turn to pooches, some with that dreaded apron of extra skin. Supportive lingerie can only do so much.

Then there are the comments. I’ve heard husbands talk about how hot their wives “used to be.” I’ve heard moms question other moms with cattiness: “Is that really ‘baby weight’ you’re trying to lose?” The pressure on women to look as if they’ve never had a child is relentless.

But what prompts women to actually endure a costly and invasive trifecta of cosmetic surgery?

Karen Hughes is a mother of four and grandmother of 13. She had her first child when she was 17. By the time she was finished nursing her four children, she was completely uncomfortable with her body and physical appearance.

She made the decision to have a breast augmentation to fill out her skin. In her mind, the procedure was no different from surgery that others have to remove loose skin after losing a lot of weight, she said.

A trip to Victoria’s Secret was the catalyst for Lacey Dolsen’s decision to have augmentation surgery as well. She was looking for help with her physical appearance after two “deflating” years of nursing. Nothing she tried on in the store, no matter how tight and supportive, worked. She cried about it.

“I told my husband of my awful experience, and we made the decision to have a breast augmentation,” Dolsen said.

Marisha Goodman, a mother of two, did not have surgery, but said she would do so if money were no object. She developed a rare galactocele (a cystic tumor) while she was nursing, caused by the clogging of multiple milk ducts. The condition took its toll on her physically and left her mortified.

“I cried about it often,” Goodman said. She wished her body did not look like a Picasso painting, she said.

For those who do opt to have surgery — what about the kids? Aren’t these women worried about the message they inadvertently send to their offspring?

“It was a repair, not an enhancement, and that’s what I tell my daughters and will tell my granddaughters,” Karen Hughes said.

Lacey Dolsen said she doesn’t want her kids to think it’s OK to run to a plastic surgeon to change things they don’t like. She says she will stress to them that breasts are for feeding a baby, not for men to stare at.

She said she tries to teach them that inner beauty is far more important than outer, “but if you don’t feel good about your outside appearance, you aren’t going to feel good on the inside.”

As for regrets, there was only one. “I do have regrets about menopause,” Karen Hughes said. “Is there anything I can do about that?”
