‘Teen Mom’ Makeovers: New Breasts, New Tattoos, New Teeth

Although the MTV series 16 and Pregnant and Teen Mom were designed to shine a light on what it’s like to be a teenage mother, the success of the shows has changed the game. Now, many of the Teen Moms have used their income from being on TV (as well as paid interviews and endorsements) to change their looks. Maci Bookout, Farrah Abraham, Amber Portwood, and the rest of the gang no longer look like the original girls we saw on 16 and Pregnant.

    You know the girls get a bad rap for getting boob jobs, but I get it. I got pregnant at 18 myself and your boobs go through a time after your kids are born where they look destroyed. I really thought about it a lot myself, but I don’t have large sums of money. Luckily after a while they go back to looking like boobs instead of skin flaps again. There’s also the age old comparing issue. Teen moms know they don’t look like other girls their age naked anymore, stretchmarks, sagging skin, weakened abdominal muscles and boobs that look like they’ve been through hell. These girls like any other woman still want to be attractive and if their relationship status is iffy, they’re going to feel more pressure. Unfortunately it makes you feel pretty insecure. Thoughts like “What guy is going to like me when I’m wrecked?” or “He likes me now, but he’s not going to think I’m pretty once he gets a look at my without clothes”. I mean it’s not like guys their age are really looking for relationships to begin with, now the odds against them are higher because they have a kid and tight skin anymore. Teen moms aren’t comfortable in their bodies, because they haven’t had time to learn that a guy that loves you will love you regardless. So a boob job feels like a way to pull yourself towards being less gross. One day they’ll get there but it takes a while to accept yourself.
    I got lucky though, my teenage boyfriend really did love me and didn’t care what changes having our daughter did to me. We’re still together 9 years later.

    so nice that we reward a sad and life-changing mistake with fame and money, enabling these girls to go on to set bad examples for other girls. These shows are horrible.

    …and dear God, so is that baby-head tattoo!

    It’s pretty asinine that you guys say it makes other girls want to be like them, when in fact, teen pregnancy has dropped significantly since 2009.16 & Pregnant first aired in 09… get your facts straight.

    I’m really shocked that everyone is criticising their every move. Because they’ve had children at a young age does not make them “slutty.” In reality every,well most, teenagers have sex. They didn’t ask to get pregnant. I think if they don’t like the way they look they have the right, just like any body else to get cosmetic surgery. Why not? Maci has done nothing but good things for her son and its very disrespectful to call her selfish in anyway.

    Hi I got pregnant at 18 a senior in high school. I graduated in 2009 and had my daughter September 2009. I don’t think the show is a bad influence there trying to prevent it. I make sure I’ll teach my daughter because my parents dint. So if teens watch this they will make better choices. I wish I waited till I graduate college but my daughter is my greates gift and im still with my daughters father. And the girls are good moms besides amber!!! She makes other teen mom look irrasponisable!!!
