Pre-Wedding Nip Tucks on the Rise

Linsey Ray of Orange County spends $20,000 on pre-wedding cosmetic procedures.

Despite tough economic times, the average cost of an American wedding is more than $29,000. Brides-to-be scour wedding websites and forums looking for inspiration, and that certain je ne sais quois to set their fête apart from the rest. But one trend that’s on the rise is pre-wedding cosmetic surgery, or “bridalplasty,” a term popularized by a reality TV show on the E! network. Plastic surgeons across the country are seeing an influx of brides each month looking to enhance their appearance for their big day. From Botox to tummy tucks, wedding day beauty preparations have graduated from the buff bride workouts and diets of days past.

According to ABC News, pre-wedding plastic surgery is so popular that some brides are spending their honeymoon budget on their procedure(s), and are even spending as much on their nip and tuck as the wedding itself. Pressure to look picture-perfect has permeated American society, motivating today’s brides to go under the knife to look and feel their very best on their special day. Linsey Ray of Orange County, California spent $20,000 on a tummy tuck and breast lift following her considerable weight loss, hoping to smooth her silhouette in her wedding dress.

The latest wedding trend is expectedly controversial, but it remains a personal choice, and one that should be made for and by the bride alone. If you are considering pre-wedding cosmetic surgery, be sure to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon well in advance, perhaps just after your fiancé pops the question. Depending on your chosen procedure(s), it could take months to heal, so be sure to do your homework well before your chosen wedding date.
