    I've already got plans to. Once I hit goal weight I'm getting a breast reduction/lift. I've probably got 8-10lbs in boobs alone... and losing weight does nothing for me... they stick around... even at my lightest I didn't go down in cup size, only in band size. Yes it's about looks, but it's also about being comfortable and having a back left when I'm 40.
    But I do know I have one SMALL area of pudge over one hip that sticks around even when I'm thinner so when I get my boobs done, if that sticks around this time as well I'll probably see how much it would cost to get him to take the small area out since I'm already under.

    Never. Why lie to yourself and the world about Who you really are?
    Finding and loving someone for who they are beings out the beauty within in them and you.

    I've thought about it repeatedly. I have dropped almost 50 pounds and have had 5 kids. My stomach skin isn't going to get any tighter. It just hands and overlaps. Yuck. In regards to finding and loving someone for who they are....why not stay weighing 300 pounds. What difference does it make if we are only considering inner beauty?

    I would love to get some work done, but my daughter is getting married in July and that bill will be enough that there won't be any extra funds for a while.

    Why lose the weight? Simply put...so you are healthy and are able to enjoy your journey of life longer. part of WHO you are is the choices you made in the past to be where you are now. accept who you are, love who you are.

    i used to tell my hubby I wanted a tummy tuck and a breast lift once I reach goal weight. Now I'm so happy with the accomplishments I've had over the past few months, I'm not too sure about it i am starting to really llove me =)

    If it makes you that unhappy, then why not?
    But I'd try everything else first. Going under the knife when you don't absolutely have to wouldn't be my first choice.

    ENVY is a *****, ain't it?
    Ever think to consider that humanity is the only species in which the female STRIVES to look better than the male. Dont miss interpret that statement as sexist... I am talking Naturally. Wether it be characteristics or size....it is the only one.

    I have asked myself this question before a lot. I'm too scared that something would go wrong and I'd end up scarred or worse. I don't love everything about my body but I would never forgive myself if I messed it up with a elective surgery.

    I would love to get the varicose veins stripped from my legs. I will someday, when I can afford it.

    Are your tummy tuck scars scarry (if u had one)?. I looked at pics of some of them & they throw me off. A part of me thinks wow muscles, flatness but the other part thinks wow frankenstein was here. I've seen some scars go nearly 360° around.

    I don't think that I would. I'm feeling pretty awesome with my body even now as it is weighing in at 171. I know that it's not perfect. I've got lumps and bumps, and even with toning, I've accepted that I'll never have a flat tummy without a tummy tuck once I reach my goal weight, but I'm okay with that.

    My whole life, I did always say I wanted a boob job, and said that when I turn 30, it will be my gift to myself. I'm coming on 30 within 6mths, my boobs are smaller than ever now (I went from a B38 down to barely an A cup), I wear a bra for shape only now), and amazingly enough, I actually LOVE them right now. Thanks to free weights, along with Avon Bust Sculpt cream, they are firm and look more proportionate with my body size, and that was really all I ever wanted.

    We are all fighting the same battle here. Perfection is only an allusion. Weightloss goals, pants/dress sizes, losing inches, these are all attainable feats. Reaching them should be all the reward and satisfaction we need♥

    No, I don't think so because the fat cells aren't really gone and it would be regress to how it was before.

    I have a chin implant...does that count? Was in a very bad car accident when I was little and without it, my jaw wouldn't have anything to attach to. So technically, yes, I've had plastic surgery, when I was 8. Anything else? No, probably not. I have no issue with people that have it, but I spend enough time laid up and unable to work/function due to Lupus, I don't need to do anything that would make me have to take more recovery time.

    I don't do pain...I have no pain tolerance that I'm aware of. And I hear that *kitten* hurts. My answer is no....

    If I could afford it.... I would take that money and go on a really sweet vacation.

    I understand the desire to with loose skin but thankfully I never got big enough/am still young enough that everything will probably spring back just fine. Other than that, I'm never going to be physically perfect and I would never let anybody chop me up in an effort to be.

    Yes! I am 100% getting a breast lift when I'm done having kids AND have saved some $! It will be a few years down the road, but it's happening! I would consider a tummy tuck, too.

    Yup I would do it again. Had no problems the first time and no pain. Had an awesome dr and I would go back

    In college I would have said, "NO WAY! We care too much about appearances! This is sexism at work in our lives, making us feel less than we are because of our looks! Why torture yourself to meet an unattainable standard of beauty!"

    Now I'm 33.

    I would so totally get a boob job to prevent my nice pair from looking crappy. You only live once, and I'm sick of my arm flab. Would it make me happier in my life to get rid of it surgically?

    ABSO-FRIGGIN-LUTELY.

    Will I ever be able to afford it?

    Hells no.

    Yeah none of that is why I would get surgery.. when you lose a bunch of weight it is sometimes uncomfortable and doesn't work to still have extra skin in the way.. It has little to do with appearance and not loving who I am. It has everything to do with physical hold backs that make me truly be who I am..

    It would be a no for me.

    Have always had big boobs and they do not shrink no matter how much weight I lose.

    I actually met with a Dr. about a reduction and my insurance would have covered it 100%. But I backed out at the 11th hour. The whole idea really creeped me out.

    Heck yes I would. Just for problem areas though... not boobs or face or anything.

    Well, neither your boobs nor your face are problem areas. People get plastic surgery in an attempt to look as good as you.:love:

    Never ever. I personally don't believe in surgery, medication, etc that are unnecessary to have a fulfilling, healthy life. I am the girl that last year asked my ENT doctor over and over if he was positive fixing my septum wouldn't change the appearance of my nose. He told me he has never had a woman come in so concerned about NOT fixing her nose haha. Seriously though...I know everyone has their personal choices and it is ultimately your body so I don't judge. I just could never do it to myself!
