Cosmetic surgery???

ain't no big thing...i gotta nose job last year and they gave me some happy juice and when i woke up i had NO pain at all during the recovery so i guess that was $$ wasted on pain pills. I had a friend who had her boobs reduced and she said that hurt a little bit...i guess it would depend on your body frame and how much muscle tissue they has to work under...plus they give you some kick-ass pain meds. and you can lay there and look at your new titays all day!!!

Hey can ya give me what they take out??? i have nothing but nipples showing girl!!! i don't know how i breastfed two babies!!! Plus my friends breasts look a jillion times better and the scars fade fairly quickly.

I had a "Lifestyle Face Lift" on July 12, 06. I went back on Friday to have a touch up because the surgeon left a pucker under my chin! The first surgery went really well, but I had horrible bruising and swelling. The touchup has been OK so far, the bruising takes a day or so to reach it's peak and I don't think it 's going to be so bad this time. When I had the original surgery on the 12th, I also had my upper eyelids done and my neck muscles tightened. I'm very happy with the results and get compliments all the time and I'm not even completely healed yet!

CONGRATULATIONS!!! i'm glad everything went okay...i would like to have my neck muscles tightened up too- all the women in our family get "jowls" as my mom calles them-it's hereditary i guess. anyway i'm in my early 30's and still look good except for the neck starting to drop. what procedure did they use???

They cut around my ears beginning at the temple in front and went down and around the back of my ears. He pulled the muscles and skin up and tightened them, then made an incision under my chin and did extensive lipo in the neck area. I will actually have a jaw line when I finish healing. The neck tightening procedure is called platesma (sp) He actually cut out a football shape in the muscles in the front of my neck and sewed the edges back together to tighten the area. I didn't have any wrinkles before, so that was not the problem. I had a double chin that I've wanted to do something about for years. My husband and I went to a surgeon several years ago who basically reduced me to tears with his attitude and I just got up and walked out of his office. The surgeon in Atlanta was wonderful! I'd recommend the Lifestyle Lift to anyone!

I had breast augmentation done about a year and a half ago. I am 5"2 105 lbs and went from an A to C . I personally didnt think the surgery was bad at all I was out having dinner the same night.

WOWSERS!!!!! That's pretty impressive.

When I had mine done (2 hours from home), I remember the doc telling me he was giving me a valium cocktail. I remember getting sick in the hotel room later that night (Friday) and taking off the bandage where the IV went in...ended up ripping some skin off with that one.

I remember going in on Saturday morning to get fitted for my bra. Eating some Carl's Junior that evening and throwing it back up.

Remember part of a phone conversation on Sunday and going back to work Monday morning. Felt drunk till Monday afternoon.

Guess you could say that I had some sort of reaction to the valium because seriously, with the exception of what I put in this post...I don't recall anything else.

When I got pregnant I was a B or a PADDED C ! LOL Of course when I got pregnant they grew! Of course when I nursed they grew even more. A year went by and we stopped nursing. The damage??? DD . Here I am 9 years later and I have lost some of my weight but the boobs STAYED!! Trust me You don't want D's ! They get in the way of SOOOO much. I can walk down stairs fast because they bounce all over. I can no longer run unless I have a industrial strength sports bra on!!!! Of course my husband LOVES them. That's no shocker! You should really think about this long and hard first. Get more opinions on the subject from women who have "big ones" I think a nice C wouldn't be too bad. I honestly don't think I would go any larger. You should also look at your clothes. You tops will no longer fit if you go to a D.You will also end up buying new and BIGGER clothes to accomodate your new boobs! Anyway... Goodluck on whatever you choose!

I was going to say similar things. I am naturally a 32DD (not a bra they make). I grew my boobs the summer between my Junior & Senior year in high school I went from flat as a board to D's (not pleasant) the whole school was sure i had a boob job I did not I was just a late fast bloomer. Just so you know some of the problems of large boobs.

1. Cute bras do not come in bigger than a C cup
2. Even when you find a bra that looks okay & fits you often get spillage out the tops & sides
3. You can't go without a bra ever
4. Running hurts like you would not believe
5. You will no longer have a head when you talk to men
6. You can no longer wear cute tight little tees or anything with an empire waist
7. Gravity is a bitch
8. Cute bikinis that fit are hard to find
9. Pain in back & neck (I been going to a chiropractor every other week since I was 21 and still have pain)


I guess that's all. As soon as I make a decision on whether or not I'm having kids I am going to have them reduced to a nice C & lifted, cute bras here I come. Put it this way I have been bra shopping lately & it has been very disappointing. Nothing fits & what does fit look like grandma bras . Just make sure you think about your lifestyle & clothing style & what will look good with your body before you make a decision on size. Bigger is not always better.

One of the reasons I want a breat augmentation is because I want to be able to go without a bra. My boobs are so ugly...rather pointy. I cannot go ANYWHERE without a bra. I cannot wear those cute backless shirts or shirts that cut low. I cannot even wear cute PJs without feeling uncomfortable. I always end up in a large Tshirt and shorts. I want to be able to wear cute PJs for my hubby and actually fill the top of the PJs out without having a bra on!

Hey I wasn't saying Breast augmentation is bad I think it can be really good & fill you out a bit. I was just saying don't go toooooo big. trust me 32DD is huge!

I agree. I am going to have to do some more research before I get mine done. I am so petite, so I know that going too big is not going to look right. I'm just worried about going too small, you know? My friend is petite like me and she just got hers done...she got a full C. She wants them bigger. I agree that she could be bigger. So, I dunno. I am going to have to see when that time comes, which will be awhile!

I'm a DD with ya' sista-girl! I have permanent impressions in my shoulders from my bra straps... and forget about pretty or colored bras... I did see a rerun of Oprah yesterday where they were showing how to buy bras and they had some pretty bras for big boobs... don't know where you can buy them, though... no where that I know of.

If I wasn't such a weenie, I'd get mine reduced. My girlfriend had it done and says it was no big deal.... but then she also gave birth to twins...
