Mothers and daughters have been known throughout history to have extremely complex relationships. They often like to hang out together and do a number of different activities together such as shopping, jogging, sewing, playing cards, cooking, hiking, gardening and even cosmetic surgeries.

Supportive Partner

The American Academy of Facial, Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery reported a statistically significant rise in the number of people getting surgery with a partner. In fact, there was a 34 percent increase in people getting surgeries together, including spousal partners, sisters and mother-daughter pairs. Many of these pairings of surgical partners relied on one another for support before the surgery and during the recovery period as well. Oftentimes people like to bring a friend along when they are trying something new, such as a new yoga class, movie or book club. Apparently many people feel the same way about surgeries – having a trusted and supportive partner to share the journey with may help.

Celebrity Mother Daughters

It is well known that many celebrities use plastic surgery treatments to maintain one of their most valuable assets – their looks. Whether or not celebrities are willing to talk about it publicly is another thing. That does not stop people and media outlets from talking about it, though. One of the most recognizable mother daughter celebrity pairs that have undergone cosmetic surgery are Melissa and Joan Rivers. Both have been outspoken about their past surgeries. Another less outspoken mother daughter pairing that may have undergone surgery together is Christie Brinkley and her daughter Alexa.

Reality Shows

Reality shows are another place where the mother daughter cosmetic surgery trend can be seen. The cosmetic surgery reality show Dr. 90210 featured a mother daughter pair in 2010. The Real Housewives of Orange County has also put the trend on air, with Lynn getting a neck lift, brow lift and face lift while her daughter Raquel had some work done on her nose. Another famous housewife, Tamra Barney, was shown taking her mom in to have some plastic surgery completed as well.

What do Doctors Think?

Doctors who perform plastic surgery often find the best results in patients who have a supportive network of friends and family to help them through the process. Whether the help involves coming to the right decision for them in regards to plastic surgery, helping to calm them before their surgery day arrives or giving them tender loving care during their recovery process, having someone to talk to about it can greatly help patients along the way. Sometimes only someone who has experienced a situation can truly be empathetic. In the case of mothers and daughters getting plastic surgeries done together, they will truly be able to understand what the other is going through along the journey.

The mother daughter plastic surgery trend has been ever increasing in recent years. It is always useful to have a supportive partner when being faced with changes, new experiences and stressful times. Plastic surgery is no exception to this rule. If the doctor has cleared both mother and daughter for surgery, there can definitely be a benefit to them having the surgery performed at the same time.
