Have you heard about the new book by plastic surgeon, Dr. Michael Salzhauer called "Beautiful Mommy"? It's only 21 pages and it's aimed at 4 to 7 year olds to help explain why mommy has a bandage over her nose. There's a Business Week article that discusses this book and mentions there's been a 60 percent increase in cosmetic surgery in the U.S. since 2000. Dr. Salzhauer says he thought his book would help explain to kids why their mom is wrapped in bandages after they've had rhinoplasty or a tummy tuck. In the article he says, "You might roll your eyes, but this is a reality for hundreds of thousands of families. It's not going to go away." What do you think?
