Do Your Boobs Hang Low, Do They Wobble To and Fro?

*Note to any male visitors I may have: This is a mostly-female-related post concerning boobs, blood, plastic surgery and other things that may make you feel faint and weak. Read at your own discretion .*

Lately I’ve been obsessed with watching plastic surgery shows like “I Want a Famous Face” and the dozens of plastic surgery shows on Discovery Health, like “Plastic Surgery: Before and After”. Anyone who knows me knows that I’m not against plastic surgery, but I don’t think it’s something that needs to be done for cosmetic purposes only, such as Triple D breast implants or wanting to look like your favorite celebrity . Things like breast reductions, gastric bypass surgery, and other things of that nature that HELP the body are okay in my opinion. I’ve never been one to say, “I’d get my nose fixed” –because I fear I’ll end up looking like Michael Jackson–but if I had the chance, and the money, would I do it? I’m not happy with my nose, I’ve never liked my nose and think it’s huge, but would I ever get it “done”? It’s a question I’ve been asking myself a lot lately–not just regarding my nose–and it surprises me because I never thought I’d even consider it. For years I’ve wanted a breast reduction, and any doctor would say that yes, I definetly NEED one to save my poor back. In fact, when I actually had insurance and I saw my doctor, she told me straight out that I should get a breast reduction as soon as possible. If I got insurance some damn time soon, I’d go for it. I’m just afraid I’ll end up unhappy with the result or that I’ll go to some shady doctor and he’ll totally mess me up (which hopefully won’t happen since I plan to do much research before doing anything drastic).

What’s also been making me ponder about this whole plastic surgery thing is that I don’t know if it’s just the doctors on TV saying it to get you to go with them and make them a few extra bucks, but they’ve all said after you have children your body never goes back to normal, even with exercise. And that scares me. Have any women out there gotten their body “back” after having their kids? I know that yes, there will be stretch marks and all that jazz, but does the flab stay there?? Please tell me it doesn’t. I’ve been desperately trying to get my stomach back and I’ve seen NO progress what-so-ever. A tummy tuck just looks too painful and you can bet your ass I’ll NEVER get liposuction. Have you seen how they jam that 3 foot rod into people?? It looks like they’re going to poke right through the skin *feels nauseous* .

If I ever got a breast reduction I don’t know if I could stand the pain that follows. And oh my gosh, will I lose sensation of the nips ??? There’s a big chance that that will happen and I don’t like it !! I think to myself, “It can’t be any worse than recovering from labor…”, but I think I may be wrong, heh.

I’ve seen two girls, both with NATURAL Triple D sized breasts on Discovery Health–one was 18 (or was it 15?) and another was 22. They looked SO NICE after they got their reductions. I’m not that big, but I have the same back problems, the bra strap digging/cutting into the shoulders, I have the “dip” in the shoulder–everything. I want to look nice . I want to be able to wear the blouses and dresses I like without men staring. Or women staring. A lot of women who don’t even know me and just pass me by on the street look at me in disgust for the sheer fact that I’m big-chested and that’s pretty damn stupid. I didn’t ask to have them . If I didn’t have this…CHEST…I’d probably feel much less self-concious about myself and the self-loathing would scale down. I need to get me some insurance…and soon!

But anyway, whoever’s reading…what’s your take on plastic/cosmetic surgery and would you ever get anything done if you had the chance?

It’s so weird you mentioned this ’cause I was just thinking of it a few nights ago…I’m not sure I would ever get anything. I’m not a big fan a plastic surgery in most cases. If I did get any, I’d probably have a breast lift, some scars removed…and have my lips a lil bigger (*shops in head* =P). That’s it I think!

Surgeries freak me out. I had a c-section and I was a mess. I got air in me or something and people would come up and ask if I had had the baby yet. I was devestated. i have always been a size 0. Now i am completely back to my own size. I have been since like 5 mths after he was born with no workout or anything at all. I love my body but I do have a bit of as stomach. More that I had before , but still not so much. I have a few stretchmarks on my bottom and bottom of boobs but thats its. Not on tummy. I wish I could work out for my health and cuz I have totally skinny flabby legs. LOL. The surgery would be good for you if you ache and you don’t feel good. I hope that if you decide to do it someday it will come out alright. I want LASIK but I have bad vision as it is and I don’t want to lose it completely. WEll gotta go, I have babbled enough.
PS: It’s so cute that he is already graduating from kinder. The years will probably fly and Freddy will be doing the same. 😥

I’d totally consider gastric bypass if I wasn’t so scared of dying from it. Or even a breast reduction! I’m scared I’ll die though! lol I’d never get a face lift though. I’ve seen those done and OUCH! no thanks.

ack! hell no! not ever! I can’t imagine myself undergoing any of that stuff. well, of course yeah now that I had one child.. but since I went to the gym and all.. it takes so forever to lose the damn flab! :confused: man.. If it’s really necessary yeah I’ll go for it. but as they say “be contented for what God gave you”. I still believe in that. as long as our hubby loves us even we’re not that perfect then maybe then there’s no reason to take surgeries at all. for other people, they can do as what they please coz that’s what they want. I guess I’m just scared for what will happen when I grow old.. and hey.. you’re so pretty, girl! what’re you talkin’ about? 🙂

I’m not judgemental about people who get surgery, it’s their body so I guess they can do whatever they please. I don’t think I would dare to do it, though, unless it was necessary.

But I do think it could be particularly beneficial if there’s something that you’re not happy with and you want to get it fixed. I know looks don’t really matter and all that stuff 😉 But it’s got to make you feel great and so much more confident. I’m sure it’s a life changing thing. I think if there was something that really bothered me that much, I’d go ahead and have surgery. If you’re thinking about it just do lots of research beforehand, so you can learn about all that it entails.

There’s nothing I particularly would want to get fixed but who knows, maybe when I’m older if I ever have children a tummy tuck or when I get old a removal of a double chin if I get one, thinking I could have that when I’m old scares me 😉

First of all, Yajaira whatcha talking about, not liking your nose! It is most certainly not big!
As for a breast reduction, I know a few people from high school who have had it done and they have been so much happier.
Perosnally, I would never get cosmetic plastic surgery, because there’s nothing I hate about myself. If I had the money, I don’t even know what I’d do. I dont think I’m gorgeous or anything, but there’s nothing I really hate. I’m like you though, in that I’m not against it. If people are unhappy with the way they are, and they have the money, I say it’s up to them.

I had a nose job when I was 14, and mostly it was for breathing purposes, but I talked a lot to my doctor and told him how I was being tormented in school and I’d do anything to have it changed cosmetically. He ended up doing the cosmetic part and including it into the “medically necessary” range so insurance would cover it. It was the best thing I ever did. Seriously. Though afterward was kind of rough, I don’t regret it one bit. I wouldn’t even be the same person if I hadn’t done it.

What people don’t understand is what it feels like to BE the person wanting plastic surgery. People with no serious flaws, even if they aren’t pretty, don’t understand what it feels like to be looked at like that or picked on. If they did they wouldn’t be so against someone not wanting to be that way anymore.

I knew I girl who had her reduction done. She was 17 and was very glad she did it. Do your best to find a good surgeon and talk to other women who had it done. Then make your decision. xoxo
