Cardi B Explains Why She's Considering Liposuction 7 Weeks After Giving Birth
Being a new mom often brings all the feels that are totally understandable. Some wonder when the heck they'll get a good night's sleep, whereas others have questions about the physical changes that come with the baby-birthing territory -- such as their post-partum body. Welp, Cardi B admits she's considering liposuction seven weeks after giving birth to her first child. And of course, people are talking.
It's been close to two months since the rapper mom gave birth to her first child, a daughter named Kulture Kiari.
Though Cardi B hasn't given us a full look at Kulture, she has shown glimpses of her baby girl that are precious.
And with baby girl present and accounted for, Cardi might get a "little lipo" because she doesn't have the time to work out.
"I still feel like I got a lot of love handles right here," the new mom confessed during an Instagram Live video, People reports. "It’s not much but it's like -- I'm used to having, like, a real tight stomach. If I'm not working, I gotta make sure my baby's okay. I might just get a little lipo, you know what I'm sayin.'"
As you can imagine, folks had more than a few things to say about the matter -- mainly that cosmetic surgery after giving birth doesn't sound good.
Judging by these comments, it's safe to say a number of peeps are side-eyeing Cardi's solution -- including Dr. Mary Jane Minkin, a gynecologist and Yale professor, People says doesn't agree with new moms getting liposuction.
"Of course I would never encourage this!" she told the publication. "You can suck out some fat cells, but the skin will still be looser. And liposuction won't tighten your muscles. Exercise will."
One can only hope new moms love and embrace their bodies as they literally are the vessels that bring life into this world.
But at the end of the day, Cardi B is going to do what Cardi B thinks is best. We're crossing our fingers she consults her doctor first (should she choose to actually go through with things) as one should never go under the knife without doing so.
