In a sad sad case of mommy trying to improve her goods after having babies, 39-year-old mom of two Adriana DeSilva from Westchester, New York, died shortly after going under the knife for breast augmentation, liposuction and tummy tuck.
DeSilva was treating herself to the procedures at Boca Raton Surgery Center in Florida for Mother's Day and her birthday.
But things took a decidedly wrong turn. She suffered a stroke just two days after the ops, fell into a coma and died shortly thereafter.
Why did no one in the clinic advise her that having three procedures at once was three too many—not least of which that the promise of a tighter body is never a good reason to risk life and limb?
As the article in Mommyish claims, the “mommy makeover rhetoric to it just adds to the dialogue that moms and their bodies are inherently flawed after childbirth, that they need surgery to fix tummies that housed babies and surgery to fix breasts that fed babies and that if this woman never had children, she may not have needed this type of 'makeover' to begin with."
