I happen to LOVE my man made BOINGA BOINGAS!

I used to think that women (particularly mothers) who had elective surgery were reckless. After all, going under general anesthesia is serious business. However, two babies later, I am a huge hypocrite. A breast lift and a tummy tuck hardly seem like vanity anymore. As you pointed out, all the exercise in the world won’t put back what has long since given up on elasticity. Once I’m positive we’re done having kids, I will be saving my nickels for that elective surgery.

This is a really loaded subject for me. I feel that a women should do what she wants and that it is nobody’s business but her own BUT that being said…I had a boob job done a number of years ago, best plastic surgeon in our city etc..and ended up with nerve damage in one nipple ( tooo sensitive) and no feeling in the other. I scarred pretty badly too and 15 years later now I need another surgery cause they look awful. I originally did it due to self esteem issues, but now being older and wiser I wouldnt do it again. I am left with the lingering feeling that I have contributed to it not “being okay” for a women’s body to age naturally AND the messages our current generation of young men are getting are not healthy at all. My close friend recently had her 15 year old son ask her about a nude 25 year old women ” whats wrong with her boobs?” She replied “nothing, that’s what a natural breast looks like”. Hearing that kinda scares me.

I will point out one benefit to having big, saggy boobies that only fit into a 4-hook grandma bra–I can go out without having to carry a purse. As long as I don’t wear a clingy shirt, I can tuck a license, a credit card, some cash, a key and my cell phone in there with the girls and no one is the wiser.

I totally understand…I’m pregnant with my second (and last!) son and I daydream about winning the lottery to just put things back where they were pre-babies. The idea of having perky full breasts again rather than flat pancakes and a stomach pouch that will never go away without manmade intervention…ah, to dream!

I don’t think it goes against befriending your body at all. It’s just another improvement, right? One that you (and likely JB) will enjoy! And you’ll be able to wear super-sexy dresses again. I say, go for it. After I have babies (someday, maybe, assuming I ever get a date and then things progress) I’ll be right on board with you, scheduling time for new BOINGA. (And besides, you KNOW Marisa Tomei paid for her BOINGA).

Ok…I didn’t read all of the comments becasue frankly there is A LOT of them. I had a case of not very big, sagging boobies myself. Since May I have lost almost 30 pounds and told my husband that if I met my weight loss goal I was going to get a boob job…and I DID! I had surgery on October 3rd and returned to work on October 8th. The first night was rough and my chest muscles were real sore and I couldn’t get up from a laying position. So, the next day I went shopping (yes, the next day) with a friend and bought a recliner to assist me in the getting up from a laying position issue I was having. It has now been 18 days since surgery and I have NEVER been happier or had higher self esteem than I do now. I went from a not so great 34B to a 36D and they really are fantastic! On the 13th I went in and my doctor was amazed at how the healing had gone and told me to go shopping for regular bras…so off I went to Victorias! This passed weekend was the Navy Birthday Ball and I wore a dress…with no bra and boy did I feel good about myself! I already have most of my nipple sensation back…in fact right now they are ultra sensitive! There is still some tenderness but all in all it was a really easy experience and I would recommend it to anyone (not to mention they financed me for 18 months no interest so that helped)! My husband also enjoys them but I didn’t do this for him, I did it for me becasue I wanted to feel better about me and damnit I wanted to wear cute shirts! My doctor was amazing…he called me the eveing after surgery and also the next day to check and see how I was. The process as a whole was great. Unfortunately I live in the Chicago burbs…but, if you need a vacation…I know a great doctor!

Bottom line…do what makes YOU happy…not what would please others!

just fyi, I started boxing classes like a year ago and have noticed that an unexpected perk (literally) is that the chestal region definitely has more alertness than it did before, noticeable. It’s not like a whole new set of boobs or anything, but major pec workouts, well, they work.

Totally. And without hesitation. In this order:
Lipo
Tummy tuck
Boob job (bigger and perkier)

And in a perfect world, insurance would pay for it. And there would be no recovery period.
*sigh*

If you want the boinga, get the boinga. You’ve treated your body well. You and your body deserve it.
