Boob job!

Changing__Christina

I'd do it! I have enough boobs as is, but implants can make them perky and plump. It takes the extra skin that you already have, and fills it. I'd rather have filled with implant skin, than loose , baggy skin that is just hanging around! That being said...I would rather have a tummy tuck. I plan on getting one if I dont like my stomach when I'm done with my weight loss! I've got about 30 more pounds and then we'll see!

Totally worth it!!!!!!!! I went from a 36DD to a 32B. I had some pretty bad hang-age. I had a lift and augmentation done a year and a few months ago. It was painful, but I would do it again.

I went from a very full D cup to a barely full B cup.. Yes I am planning on having a boob job. Luckily my stomach even after 7 babies, has gone down to practically nothing. Not even loose skin so I am blessed.. But the breast, well they are old news..

I had a full tummy tuck with abdominal muscle repair one year ago. I have 3 children. When you have kids, your abdominal muscles separate and they don't move back together. You can do all kinds of crunches and you are not going to really benefit from them in any way.
I also worked for three cosmetic surgeons and see the benefits that various surgeries can have on a persons self esteem.
Prior to my tummy tuck i had lost @ 40 lbs. I had nearly 10 lbs of excess skin and fat removed from my lower and upper abdominal area. Since the suregery I have lost almost 40 additional lbs. The way I feel about my appearance and the desire to make my dollar (the amount I spent on my surgery) go as far as possible, has catapulted me into a strong fitness routine.
I am not for cosmetic surgery being used to "fit in" with society or as a tool to lose weight. However, it can completely change your life when it comes to the way you feel about yourself and your desire to be better.
I'm also all for rewarding yourself for your hard work. If a "boob job" is what you want, don't let anyone step in your way. Just research your doctor thoroughly. Ask to see photos of his other patients and be clear as to how you want your breasts to look.
Good luck and congratulations on almost reaching your goal!!

You have many responses, I plan to get the boobs lifted for my 40th bday. Two kids, weight fluctuation. Although I am going to go down in size, fuller breast are nicer when your young but in order to keep them perkier as I age, I think a smaller size will suffice.

By the way, my tummy tuck scar is very low. My surgeon made my incision lower than my c-section scar so I only have one scar. It does go hip to hip but one year later i can wear a bikini and you can't even see it unless I point it out.
Everyone has different levels of pain. I only took my pain meds the first day and a half and then I didn't need them anymore. I returned to work after one week. I've seen people who claim to need a walker after their tummy tuck surgery to get around the house etc... That seems very extreme to me. Maybe I have a higher tolerance for pain, but it was def initely not nearly as bad as I imagined it to be. I had a full tummy tuck, upper abdominal lip suction and my abdominal muscles sewn back together. My surgery took 6 hours. I would do it again in a heartbeat.

It's the moral (and societal) issues I have when women get big beach ball boobs, even before they have kids (like that idiot famous person who got them and then was upset because she couldn't breast feed afterwards, it's like, Duh! You mess around in there with foreign objects enough and they aren't going to work properly!!) so that they are "attractive." There is nothing wrong with having little pert boobs. And I realize now that is not what you are adressing.

So I take back what I said about conforming to society, it's ok for you to want to go back to where you want to be, as long as you aren't wanting to "fix" yourself into something totally new. It was a bit naive of me to not understand where you are coming from, escpecially since I haven't had kids. And I know you don't need approval from me, I am just apologizing mostly.

Moral issues? LOL. Getting aesthetics confused with morals... isn't that difficult to do? Wow.

Yes, I consider changing your body (as in, what God gave you) drastically is a moral issue. Getting a boob job is not necessarily just aesthetics. It is a big, invasive deal, it's not like dyeing your hair. I personally beleive that you should rock and be proud of what you were given, and not try "fix" it unless there is something wrong (ie: getting reduction surgery because your back is being damaged etc). In the original poster's case, like I outlined, she really isn't trying to "fix" HERSELF, she is trying to "fix" CHANGES to her body brought on by challenging events taking a toll. That is why I consider it a more aesthetic issue (more like upkeep) than a moral issue, and why I consider getting beach ball breast implants because you aren't happy with your cute pert ones (as in, CHANGING your body drastically) a moral issue.

WHY OH WHY OH WHY do religious nuts bring a god into everything?

I don't have a god, why is your god telling me and others what to do?

because apparently their god is omniscient and has the authority to dictate how everyone else's life should be?

:yawn:

She mentioned God in her post in a passing way (not at all intended to force religion on anyone.) Must you try to mock people for no apparent reason? Y'all are getting mad at her for stating what she believes because it offended you but then you turned around and wrote something that is very offensive to some, namely me. I'm not here to get into a debate about it since this is not what the original poster was even talking about, just thought I would speak up.

I love when religious nuts delve into philosophy of ethics & morality (and aesthetics) as well... it always makes things very colorful for a short while until I get disgusted.

I have no problem with religion tbh, it teaches people to be good to one another etc.

However, religion doesn't have morals in reality. How many crusades were waged? How may women burnt at the stake? How many other crazy ideas were perpetuated by a religion based on a god who was murderous in one book and all happy and friendly in another? One crazy act after another. Boob jobs are far from a worry for religion for me, I'd look at sorting itself out for a start before casting a stone at others. After all, thats what the bible says...

Getting implants was a goal of mine, but realistically i cant afford it...I say way to go girl you get them boobies!!!!

missfancy1980

Ok ok, I don't mean to offend anyone, but my reward for reaching my goal weight is a boob job!! I'm about 25 to 30 lbs from that. After gaining and losing over the past 10 years and after breastfeeding two babies, my poor boobs have given into loose skin and gravity!! Just looking for anyone else that has gone through a similar experience to share, and if so, are they happy they went through the cosmetic surgery??? I'm still convinced I want it...unless its not worth it, please share and or share any removal of loose skin or even a tummy tuck.

I had one 10 months ago hun, went from 32b to 32ff with 380 cc under the muscle and would not have changed a thing (well, i would have gone bigger LOL!!). I didn't have saggy boobs or any issue with them at all, just always wanted bigger. My advice is.... GO FOR IT, you won't regret it xx

PS Check out the SoFem forums for BA advice x

Hey there! I got mine done as a reward for when I reached the 30 lb. loss mark and it was worth every penny and the pain (only 4 days though, so you'll get through it!) Went from a AA @ 175 lbs (which looked really strange) to a medium sized C @ 135 lbs...much more proportional!! Not only was I more confident from the weight loss but having "the girls" done really changed the way I carry myself. It also made me work that much harder to reach my weight loss goals!! Go for it if you can!

If it's really important to you, a lot of dr's offices will take Care Credit which means you could finance the new girls and make payments over time. I know a lot of people do it this way if they don't have several thousand $$ on hand right then but know they can afford the payments.

My hubby told me once I get to my goal weight I could get one! So Im with ya girl! Good Luck! ive got 28lbs to go

I had a tummy tuck almost 5 years ago to get rid of the loose skin from having my babies. It was the best thing I ever did. I had a full tuck with abdominal repair, no liposuction. Surgery lasted 3 1/2 hours. They took 6lbs of loose skin and my scar goes from hip to hip. I have a tattoo that covers it up now. Even with the surgery, you still got to put the work in to get results and to look fabulous. Good luck with your weight loss journey and your decision to have something done. Cheers!! :drinker:

dmchiz

Got my boobs 23 years ago! (may be going on some kind of record?!) Beast fed all 3 of my kids and am now finally at 47 realizing, i need to lose a few pounds and get back in shape - I would deffinately get a lift/replacement if I could afford it but for now underwire bras still do the trick. Best friend lost weight, got in fabulous shape and just had an augmentation and it cured the droop right away! -totally worth it in both our books! Good luck and enjoy the journey

tequila09

I'm still young (22) but I have decided after I'm done with having kids maybe when I'm in my mid 30s i want to get a lift and maybe an increase in size I'm a c cup right now but I'm unsure if it will go down to a b after I lose my weight I want to lose. I don't think there is anything wrong with plastic surgery as long as you don't go crazy. My boyfriend is anti surgery and says he likes me all natural however if I really feel I want it later I will do it. So we will see

From my belly button down was 5 lbs of skin and fat removed. They lipoed out close to 5 lbs from my upper abs. Best thing I ever did for myself. I'm a single parent and don't have tons of money laying around and I heard a lot of crap from people questioning why I spent so much money on myself. But, one year later I am 45 lbs lighter. I have a healthier lifestyle and I'm a better role model for my daughter.
Yay for us and for everyone who is willing to invest in themselves. We are all worth it!!

Agreed! I considered going abroad for my BA and while there are some great clinics that are considerably cheaper than here in UK, it's not really worth it when you consider the implications if you have complications or need further surgery. Have a number of consultations, take time to consider them, and go with the surgeon who you feel most comfortable with, regardless of price. I paid mine up front but my clinic offers payment plan and a piggy bank saving scheme too!

I personally have never had great breasts. I have some extreme breast assymetry that I hide with push-up bras and paddings. Left breast (was) full C/near D... right breast (was) small B. Now, my left breast is a medium B and my right breast is barely an A. Would I get implants... maybe. I'm nowhere near my goal, but I can tell that my breasts are never going to be anywhere near even. People say that don't notice, but when I'm naked, it's noticeable. I wouldn't want to have some extreme DD's or anything, but to have some sense of more normal, even breasts, a boob job might be in my future. Sweet Jeebus, I hate my boobs

curvykim78

OMG the pain of a tummy tuck was unbearable for me...I'm getting my boobs done after Easter, on Monday! I'm looking forward to a 'new' me and maybe I can finally feel good.

awesome reward if its something that you want why not we only live once!! might as well live with awesome boobs.lol

I had a boob job about 3months ago..and I love them....No regrets...You might need a lift as well...

2kidsandadonut

Unfortunately, this is not an option for me! I would LOVE to have a tummy tuck and boobie fix. Unfortunately, I'm allergic to antithetic. (Yeah I had 2 C-sections imagine two c-sections without drugs) and I'm also allergic to most narcotics. So no pain meds and I'm not willing to go through that much pain again without producing a child.

That's a very good point. However, if you recall I said DRASTICALLY changing your body. I don't want to look like Kate Hudson, I just saw a picture of her once and her height was the same as mine and she looked healthy and beautiful at that weight (which the picture reported was 135) so it became my inspiration. I am not going to go get a nose job so that I look like her, because I don't want to and that would be drastically changing my body.

You are right in that God accepted (mandated) circumcision, but while many would say this is for aesthetic purposes it was actually for deeper reasons, one of which being for heigine. Secondly, "cutting off your right hand" is NOT a reference to surgery, it is a point about how abhorrent it is to sin. It is a far cry from going under the knife for cosmetic purposes.

Of course I am picking and choosing what is acceptable based on my own opinions because that is what opinions are. But I am trying to back it up with reason and knowledge and to have a semi-intelligent discussion with others in this community about it. If you see above I even changed my opinion about the original post, so I am learning from you just as you are all maybe perhaps learning a bit of a new perspective from me.
