Help getting your "old" body back; or getting a new one?

I saw a post from early this morning that I liked.  I think BugLuv may have posted it?  Here's my version:

Are you or would you consider getting plastic surgery/augmentation after having kids?  Please no flaming!

I have talked to my DH about having breast augmentation after we're done having kids if I am unhappy with the way I look.  I would also like to have my spider veins and old stretch marks removed.  If after working out I still have a "tummy" that won't go away I may consider a tummy tuck.  I personally don't care how I look to others (except DH) but I want to look good and feel good about myself.

    no flames from me- i had a breast aug a while a go, and i def. recommend waiting until you are done having kids. i have a CRAZY amount of stretch marks on them because my skin was stretched to the max before pregnancy (i had almost no breast tissue) and now i look like a zebra haha.  in regards to erase the stretch marks, i don't think so- my dh is the only one who see's them so it personally doesn't bother me that much to waste the cash. 

    if you're worried about your mid section, have you considered purchasing a tauts from babooshbaby.com?  its a binding thing from brook burke- i bought two as well as a baboosh body for helping with the workouts.  you might want to look into it if you're dedicated enough to workout to lose the lbs. 

     

    good luck

    If I had unlimited amounts of money I might consider doing something about a big ol' flabby tummy if I end up having many kids.  But unless we win the lottery or make tons of money, I'm not considering any sort of augmentation.  I have been able to remain farily fit during this pregnancy and plan to work to get back to a similar form of my pre-preg body.  I realize that my body will likely never be the same and I am very ok with that.

    after we are done having kids dh and i already discussed getting a breast lift/augmentation... nothing crazy but i used to be larger and lost a lot of weight and just going back and forth between little and big my breasts are definitely saggy, i would love to not always have to wear a bra as for any other procedures i would definitely do what i can to try to "fix" it with exercise and diet first but sometimes you need a lil help and if you can afford it why not!

    I felt really great after having my ds. ?I was a tad flabby, but could wear a bikini if I wanted to. ?So, hoping I have the same bounce back with number 2, no plastic surgery for me. ?BUT, my issue is varicose and spider veins thanks to my genetics. ?This I do plan on doing. ?I think everyone has their own "problem" areas and feeling confident and comfortable with yourself will help to be a better person/mommy. ?So go for it!

    I was considering a breast aug. before I got pregnant due to the drastic difference in sizes, I too have some hideous spider viens that I want removed. A friend of mine got hers done and she looks awesome. I think if you are doing it for yourself to make you feel better than its completely worth it!

    I'm definately getting my veins taking care of in my legs. I've had them since HS but since getting pg (2) times now - they are B-A-D =/ I look like my Grandma, lol. Ick.

    I'd also love to get my boobs done (bigger) but DH likes them as is so that's a no-go ;)

    My mom can still wear a bikini.

    I'm hoping that the apple didn't fall to far from the tree. Smile

    I would consider a tummy tuck if my skin remains stretched out and baggy.  They look very painful though so I'd put some serious thought into it!  I would also consider a breast lift (no aug though, they're already big enough pre-pg!).  If money permitted, of course!

    I definitely plan to look into a breast lift and augmentation if I'm not happy with the way I look after giving birth.  I'd actually planned on having it done, along with a nose job, before I got pregnant, so if I feel the same way later, I'll do it.

    I really want to get my body back through diet & exercise, but if I'm still saggy after that then I'd definitely consider a tummy tuck/boob job. Then I'll feel like I've earned it!

    I had lost 50 lbs a few years ago and kept it off with a good diet and tons of excersise. Regardless my tummy was still flabby. So I deff plan to get a tummy tuck and breast lift after I stop breastfeeding.

    I have already talked about this with hubby. I have always wanted a nose job and we said after we were done having kids (and had saved up) I could get it along with a lift. I plan on loosing a bunch of weight before then so that would be last. I would say if after loosing the weight I still have a tummy that wouldn't go away I would?probably?get a tuck. Just because I have a child I don't want to look "matronly" :)

    Given how huge my boobs are now, for my frame, I would definitely consider getting them reduced and/or lifted. I'd also be down with having any excess skin removed off the tummy area if I lose all the weight I hope to after this baby - not sure if it will shrink back or just sag since I plan to lose it at a reasonable pace.?

    DH and I have talked about breast aug. and if we can afford it I might get a lift.  I'd love to get a tummy tuck but it all depends on how I feel and the money issue.  I guess we shall see after we are done having kids.

    This. Absolutely. I've wanted a reduction since high school.
