would you get cosmetic surgery? - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

apaprikao · 08-10-2005, 05:42 AM

Not me. Never in a million years would I do that.

I'm not saying that I think of you girls any less who did do it but I personally think it's just wrong.

Count me out!

I had breast reconstruction w/implants in April of 2004. I found a lump in my left breast, the biopsy came back 'suspicious for cancer.' The surgeon took out the lump and a *huge* area of surrounding tissue. It was benign - thank goodness - but I had a huge crater in my left breast. My plastic surgeon worked with me to position the implant and other breast tissue to fill in the crater. I would prefer to have my old breasts back, but I'm thankful I'm cancer free.

One of these days, I want to have a chemical peel and maybe an eyelid lift thingy.

I had my nose done in highschool, 1997,. I had broken my nose badly when i was a child and it was crooked and causing problems with my breathing. I went to have it straightened and after he explained to me the procedure i asked him they could make it smaller too. He said no problem. I am so happy with it. I've gotten a lot of compliments a lot of guys in college told me I had the cutest little nose. A lot of people says it looks like sara michelle gellars (buffy). Before my wedding I looked into getting my breasts reduced and lifted. I wear a 32 D. But the insurance wouldn't cover it because i wasn't having enough taken out. Also they say it's a 50-50 chance whether or not you can breast feed and they might swell back up if you get pregnant. I don't plan on having kids right now, but I didn't want to take the chance. So I'm going to wait til later and then get it done.

well I am hoping to get mine done next summer, I am trying to loose so of my weight first. Not having much luck but I am going to get a whole makeover my body went to hell after I had my son 5 years ago, I was always really fit, I was a lifeguard for 6 years in my teens always active, but at 18 after I had my son my body got bad I nursed him for 1 year and lets just say that was the worst I have no feeling left in my boobs any more. I also need a tummy tuck and lipo in my butt and thighs so I just want a major makeover. Just looking for PS good to use either in Texas or Florida so if any one has any suggestion please Pm me the info. Lets just put it this way when I married my hubby I was about 105 and now Lets just say add about 85 to that and you got it. Dont help that I am short either. I just am still so young and I feel ugly and have real low self esteem. So it would be a big plus for me so PS here I come. Just a little nervious about the pain afterwards. But I dont think that anything can be more worse than 21hours in full labor without drugs so I think I can pretty much handle the pain...(1) Here is a pict of me when I as a newly wed age 17. (2) June on our trip to disney age 24

Thanks for posting your pictures! Awesome. I wish I could have a tummy tuck! Of course, I'm 50 and everything just went south! It seemed like one day I looked in the mirror and boom everything was hanging!

the pain is a piece of cake. as you can see i was already standing up and walking around on my own after 2 hours of surgery. the scar i must say is really nice. lol it's very thin and not bad at all. as you can see i already had stretch marks from having 2 kids and so one scar wasnt going to bother me. although i do get to wear a bikini now cause the stretch marks that were above my belly button are now all under it and wearing a bikini noone can see them.

even the scar is not visible. of course i did alot of research before i went to do anything major to my body but i am so glad i chose the docotr i chose cause he did really great work. although he is not the number one doctor in town he is still one of the best in houston and would recommend him to anyone.

seh: i had your exact problem except for the breast feeding i couldnt bring myself to do that but like i posted earlier i was a size 4 when i got married and little by little startde gaining weight until i was finally wearing a size 14 and had a sagging belly i would post my pre-op pics but i'm just too embarrassed! lets just say i looked 5 months preggers...... not something anyone wants to see!!! but i started eating from the new dieters cookbook and lost 20 pounds and then did the surgery.

I want to have a breast augmentation done, but I want to wait and see if I have kids first.
I'm giving myself till 26 to decide then I will get it done. I'm 23 and that means we have 3 years to decide.. (I heard that you can't breast feed afterwards so that is what I'm waiting for)

All I can say is wow. I had 2 c-sec's with my last 2 babies and always felt it would be a breeze getting a tummy tuck, but then I seen what the do and although really want to do it,,,,,,, I am a big chicken! You look grate!!!

I am the size you were before the tummy tuck. And strugle with my weight all the time. I wish I was brave enough to have this done.

Latuya · 08-10-2005, 10:48 AM

I have to add,,, This is the only type of picture I will allow im my house,,, anything showing my body gets tossed in the trash! First one was taken last year by daughter with her I-zone cam. The senond was at Magic Mountain last month, The last one is of me and the kids. Man how much they have grown in just in 2 years! I love this pic because you can't see my body!

Soooo not true. I had implants put in 2 years ago and right after the surgery I was lactating. Gross I know, but the pressure from the implants was releasing milk. You can definitely breast feed after implants, otherwise I wouldn't have gotten it done. I plan on having a large family and breastfeeding is a must. 2 of my friends have gone on to have children after having implants put in and have had no troubles breast feeding

Kaluiah · 08-10-2005, 11:03 AM

That is really good to know, because I'm really wanting this done..
I'm doing research now to find a good doctor. I also need to start saving some money so I want have to take out a loan for it. I'm also scared to go too big because I'm real petite (5'1) 89-95lbs right now I'm barley a 32A but I think I would be good with a 34b or a little bigger.

as a gift my mom bought me a bra and the name of it was Nearly A she said it should fit perfectly.. lol

I would never put my body through surgery for cosmetic reasons.

MONICA YOU ARE SO PRETTY! i weigh 115 lbs as of now, i kow 115 seems tiny to alot but for me only being 4' 11" it is a little on the chubs side. my legs are "chubby" and i have that little pooch that will NOT GO AWAY because before i had my oldest girl i was only 90lbs so my belly went through alot of stretching. i am very fortunate that i can loose weight fast but there are those problem areas that will not go. soooo frustrating

so for this i need DR.REY!
