plastic surgery? esp breast implants

[hunbun]

i guess i haven't gone out for a while. hubby and i went to a party for nye at a hotel. we're noticing how many walking boob jobs there were at the party. the demographics of this party was mostly middle class couples from their early 20's to late 30's. since when did they become so popular???

[Lissa]

I like mine just the way they are! :cool:

[hunbun]

ditto to that!!!! nothing beats real boobs!!! :D
on the other hand, i understand why some people need or would want the implants, especially when you're older, had a few kids, had health conditions like breast cancer , etc etc. but i just never realize they're an expensive fad for those who don't really need them, like a new pair of milano blahnik's.

[Janet]

I don't have boobs....LOL at least I don't think so, but I sure don't want them any bigger. I have noticed whenever we go to the "city" they sure are perkier there...LOLOL Wonder if they are having surgery or it's just all the bad air they're breathing in????:D

[DianaB]

Nobody ever seems happy with their boobs. The big gals want theirs smaller and the little gals want theirs to be really bigger, not just enough to look good but enough to bulge out!! I'm not happy with mine because they're small and one side is bigger than the other, but this is the way God made me and so I'm leaving well enough alone.

[Khristine]

well i'm young, but i'm considering a breast augmentation.

With the birth of my first child (definitely not my last :D ) and breastfeeding, my breasts have began to.. unfortunately.. sag :(

i've always had small boobs, so to speak, and pregnancy made me really happy because i actually had boobs! but now their gone and not only that, they've left me with saggy.. boobs lol.

So i am going to get a breast aug/lift. just so that i'll be happy with myself :) i don't see anything wrong with that.

real boobs do rock.. if you have them lol

[Janet]

Why not try all those boob exercises they talk about..wouldn't they help? I don't have much to exercise...LOL, but I remember this one piece of equipment they sold many years ago was suppose to do wonders. It was when I was in my late teens, early twenties I believe. I bought it then, but as with all exercise...I didn't stick to it. Do any of you rememer that? It was something you squeezed in front of your chest...but I don't remember what it was called or what exactly it looked like.:)

[Marilyn]

I wouldn't consider it, unless I was one of those truly unfortunates with mosquito bites & it was really affecting self-esteem & making it hard to find nice fitting clothes. Then I'd get the minimum to get a reasonable improvement. Boobs can be heavy. My mother and grandmother had really large ones, and it's much easier to move around and exercise when they are reasonably sized.

[Lissa]

Implants are perfectly logical when it comes to women who have had them removed due to breast cancer, I even think insurance should pay for it in those cases. And I can understand women that are flat chested wanting to get them done if it makes them happy. The people I think are ridiculous are the tiny petite women getting DDs and women like Pamela Anderson and Dolly Parton.

[Janet]

There is a lady that lives down the road (her kids ride my bus), must be in her mid thirties somewhere and she has the most humongous boobs I have ever seen. They are real. She is a little heavy, but not overly FAT.

They look absolutely horrible. She sub teaches at the school once in awhile and I guess the kids have a field day about it. She should get something done I would think, but if they don't bother her...who am I to judge?

[red98vett]

LOVE THAT T-SHIRT ! That's too funny -

I see so many women with implants I can't believe it - how do they all afford it ?? how many girls in their 20's have 4-6 GRAND ?? It amazes me.

If I didn't already have DD's I would get implants....but like standing too much to ever want anything bigger lol -

I would have surgery on my face if I could - but man - I need a sugar daddy for that

[RLC12345678]

I want implants! I want my boobs to look perfect all the time whether I have on a bra or not! But I have no money right now. Hubby doesn't want me to get them, but I think that is what I'm going to give myself when I graduate from law school.:D

[rivermom]

It's such a personal choice for all...With many reasons for doing or not doing so. I've had breast augmention done twice. Id love to have a tummy tuck and lipo on the hips/butt only realizing this will never happen due to $$$$$.

It's just not fun getting old that's all I gotta say. :)

I had a lifestyle face lift back in July and love it! I've got to go back for a touch up in the spring after all is finished healing. I've thought long and hard about lipo and a tummy tuck but here's the conclusion I've come to:


I need to find a surgeon who can remove my hair, pull everything up about a foot, tie a knot, and put me in touch with someone who does really great wigs:p

1. What is a "lifestyle face lift"? Is it a special kind?

2. Kim, you crack me up. I need the same kind of lift, but would worry that my nipples would be on my neck, and where would my lips end up?

[Janet]

Kim and Marilyn....you guys are cracking me up!!!

A lifestyle face lift is done specifically for the neck area. I had a double chin (no wrinkles) and had it removed. The Dr cut around my ears beginning at the temple and ending behind the ears. He did lipo under my chin, tightened the muscles in my neck, then removed the excess skin and stitched everything up. I also had my upper eyelids done because they were heavy and I looked angry all the time.

Here are before and after shots:

[khardy57]

In the after shot, you can see the area on my left that has to be touched up. I'm really happy with the results and would recommend this to everyone. It costs less, the doctors specialize in this particular surgery, and the recovery time is much faster. You can find the website if you look under lifestyle lift.

Also, Marilyn, If we did it the other way I suggested - we both might end up with mustaches and extra lips...........

[RLC12345678]

Kim, you look AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

[rivermom]

Kim !!!! YOU ARE SO BEAUTIFUL!!!!! Good for you for having it done...amazing!




Sheryl.....I about peed my pants....thank you very much...LMAO!!!! :D

[Marilyn]

Kim, you look really nice!!!! I'm not to the point of doing anything, yet. My daughters would be very opposed to it, but I'm researching, just in case.

Y'all are all just too funny. Kim, that would be quite a lift if we got mustaches LOLOL. And Rivermom, how did you ever think to do that with those characters. I about died when I saw your post.

Love this site!!!! and all of y'all.

[DCollins]

I have a niece and a few friends that have had boob jobs and look great. I find nothing wrong with my "40 longs", except when I go braless I have to wear bigger pants cause they are in my waistband! LOL Whever I am out with my hubby and see a nice set of "girls", I point them out to him and he says," Yeah, we just hate those girls, don't we?" He has always been a booby man. I have a SIL that had breast cancer at 35 and is considering having all her tissue taken out and fake ones put in. She has even talked to Dr. Lee on Dr.90210 on TV. I think if you want it & can afford it go for it! That goes for just about everything in life.

[Nikki]

I love fake boobs!!!! Yay fake boobs! I had mine done because they sort of deflated after I had my daughter. Before childbirth I was perfectly happy with my real boobs and never considered having them done but I have to say, the fake ones are so much better! I think anyone who wants them should definitely go for it.

[Gina]

LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!! You crack me up :D :D


Kim you look wonderful, and are a brave woman. I am chicken and will be aging naturally thank you...lol My friend had it done and recovery is painful. She had a brow lift.


Sheryl GIRL YOU CRACK ME UP ALSO!!! LOL

[AngelWorks]

When I was younger---------oooohhhh soooo maaannnyy mmmoooonnnnssss ago---I was all about wanting fake boobs, as I had slim to none.

I had my son at 27 and the only place I got stretch marks was my boobs!

After breast feeding and hormone retreat, I had tiny saggy boobs.

Here's the thing though, after never having more than would fill a tiny teacup ( no, teacup tits are not a breed! lol) I hit 40 and suddenly I am a 36 C--pushing towards a D.

My husband who I met at 39 takes all the credit.:p

Because I never had more than a teacup---they are still quite perky!

In hindsight, I'm glad something always got in the way of having augmentation.

Puberty at 40 is rather late--but it's all good!

[judy]

I love cosmetic work!

Kim - you look wonderful. I'd love to see the eyelid lift. Show us a picture without
your glasses on. And Sheryl your boobs are fantastic - I've always wanted (.)'s.

I'm a 36C and don't need augmentration as much as a lift, but at 60, if fhey added any meat to the girls, they'd probably just sag lower. I would have had it done already if I was younger though.

I started with lasik so that I didn't need glasses anymore. I've been getting my teeth done for 10 years now - It's a long and winding saga! Then I got my lip liner permanently done, then a few shots of something called bio-gel I think. It builds collagen and supposedly lasts about 3 years. I got my eyeliner on top permanently put on, got my lips filled in so that they have more color and am going for the lower eyeliner to be done when I go for a dermassage treatment which helps the neck and other wrinkles. Oh - and I had liposuction on that awful menopause tummy. I also need a tummy tuck, but there's no surgery being done to this girl unless it's medically necessary. Nothing wrong wirh it, I just have seen too many "frozen" faces. The only other thing I want to do now is to find a non-surgical way of minimizing the dark bags under my eyes - and I will!

It's like trying to keep a used car running well. Once you fix one thing, another goes, but I also have so much fun with it.

[Gina]

Judy you look beautiful, don't look your age at all.

[goofywife]

I was going to get mine done for my birthday this year. But, I haven't hit my target weight loss yet. I need a reduction though.

[judy]

Thanks Gina!;)
