Nika, who has been married for eight years, showed the results of her body three weeks after having cosmetic surgery, calling it a “mom transformation.” “Your abs are incredible and you haven’t done any core workouts. This is a huge transformation,” says her husband in the clip.
“You’re beautiful, you’re beautiful, you’re my wife, and I love every inch of you,” he adds in the video. Nika’s fans were touched by the way her husband supported her amidst the wave of negative responses from haters.
“I feel there should be space for a woman to be selfish with herself, so I did a mom transformation and I’m very proud of it,” Nika explained on her social media.
However, some internet users criticized her decision, considering she has over 1 million followers on Instagram and could influence other mothers to feel dissatisfied with their bodies after giving birth.
“No, we shouldn’t celebrate mom transformations, many women can’t afford such a procedure,” said one follower. “It’s fine that you shared this, but no, mom transformations, in my opinion, aren’t normal or common for less privileged mothers in everyday life,” commented another.
Another user said that plastic surgery shouldn’t be associated with motherhood. “You changed your body because you didn’t like how it looked anymore… it’s not called a ‘mom transformation,’ it’s called a tummy tuck. Why associate motherhood with the need for surgery because you don’t like your body after having children?” they reflected.
Fortunately, Nika also received supportive messages. “It’s your body! Do what makes you feel good! You look phenomenal, mom!” said one person. “Your husband is raising the bar for all single men out there! I just loved the compliments he gives you! You’re a beautiful woman, and whether or not you have your mom transformation, you are beautiful!” wrote another.
