Melbourne, October 10 (ANI): Actress Angelina Jolie, who claimed that breast-feeding helped her shed post-pregnancy weight, allegedly had a mommy tuck.
The star, who stunned all at the recent premiere of The Changeling with her wowing figure, has allegedly shared her dirty secret with her friends.
She doesnt like to talk about it or admit it, but Angie told some friends that she had a mommy tuck, the Herald Sun quoted a source close to Jolie as telling Star magazine.
She likes the way that sounds better than tummy tuck, the source added.
The 33-year-old actress, who just welcomed her fifth and sixth children with beau Brad Pitt, spoke of how much she loved being a mother despite facing the challenge of raising six kids.
She said: It’’s so much fun but it’’s very hard work. The kids are forming beautiful friendships. They”re teammates and they”re very loving to the babies.
The twins are just the sweetest little things. They lay next to each other.
They”re starting to smile a lot. Knox looks like Brad and Vivienne looks more like me. They are developing interesting personalities. Knox seems more relaxed and Vivienne is more loud.” (ANI)

Of course she had a tummy tuck! Have you ever looked closely at the stomach of a woman who gave birth to a child the same year? Let alone one who gave birth to twins, stretching the abdominal muscles even further? …….Here is the reality: pregnancy stretches the rectus abdominus, which is a paired muscle that runs vertically from the pubic to torso region. These muscles are separated by a connective tissue (linea alba) that is stretched (sometimes split) in pregnancy. It does not return to former size, and therefore, the paired abdominal muscles are never pulled tight again. That is why all mothers have a protruding belly that won’t disappear, no matter how many crunches are piled on top the aerobic workouts! ……TUMMY TUCK, or abdominoplasty, pulls the two paired rectus abdominus muscles back together. It also removes the sagging stretched skin, pulling down skin from the torso to create a new, smooth tummy (with new doctor made belly button to replace the post-pregnancy stretched belly button). …..After birthing twins, there is absolutely NO WAY Angelina could have worn that skin tight dress UNLESS she had the abdominoplasty! Her abdominals were absolutely, totally flat … and that is humanly impossible for someone who just delivered a few months back! …….BUT GOOD FOR HER FOR DOING WHAT WAS NECESSARY TO GET HER BODY BACK! It is a shame that so many women are forced to go through life feeling lousy about themselves due to the changed body of motherhood. Tummy tucks should be part of the birthing process. GYN doctors should be trained in the plastic surgeon methods of tightening the muscles and closing the wound. Mothers should be returned to their former physical self. …… After having two children, I returned to my exercise routine of running 5 miles a day, along with weights, pillates, crunches, etc. After ten years, I realized the ‘mommy tummy’ was never going to respond to exercise. I saved for three years money to afford the tummy tuck. WOW was I happy! I had my flat tummy back again and immediately felt like myself again! …… It is terrible that people hide this operation, equating it to vanity. It’s not. Correcting the abdominal muscles not only affects a woman’s sense of identity, but also her self-esteem, and her physical health. Sagging stretched abdominal muscles puts heavy strain on the back muscles, while also leaving little support for the interior organs. Woman should talk openly about it, letting other women know that this is an outcome of pregnancy. The majority of women DON’T know. They become frustrated and eventually give up on trying to look like their former selves. If they KNEW, if they were allowed the corrective surgery as part of the birthing process (once done bearing children), more women would continue lifelong exercise. I already explained to my daughter that this is something she’ll need to have done someday. And I told my son to make sure he allows his wife to have this operation! ……Unfortunately, medical treatment is still based on male definitions of ‘necessary’. If men also endured changed body figuration due to parenthood, we’d have had plastic surgeons in the birthing rooms long ago!
