liposuction with fat transfer to breasts?

I know you have done the research but as a mom of 4, you cannot imagine what 4 kids can do to your body- even if you are fit, healthy, etc. I just think you are wasting your money now but it's your money so if it makes you feel better, go for it if you have the money to do it. You can never know how much weight you will put on btw. I put on 30, 30-something, 25 and then a whopping 60 pounds with my final child! I am a size 2 now but I have issues hidden by my clothes. My abs split with along the way so now I am facing a surgical repair to put humpty dumpty back together.

My boobs are bigger than they were when I started all this too. Not that big but bigger. When you BF, you are 2 different sizes a lot of the time with your chest btw!

Just trying to share the reality of child bearing! Your body will change. You can certainly work out and go back to "normal" but it will be a NEW "normal". It's never the same!

Agree with Nuthinbutpink. Before pregnancy i was 95 lbs, A cups. I have 2 daughters 2 yrs apart. I BF my eldest until she was 4 yrs old & my youngest (almost 3) still nurses.

My breasts are C's. I gained 60 lbs with both girls but I am now finally down to 110 lbs & even though i wear a sz 2 pants, my body is very much morphed. I have stretchmarks & loose droopy skin.

Please don't base it on your mother either. My mother had 5 kids & doesn't have one single stretchmark. I thought I would be just like her, but my 2 kids left their marks from my boobs to my thighs covered in stretchies.

I just want to say I totally agree with nuthinbutpink and Midwest. While I totally understand your desire to get it done, the benefits will be so much stronger if you wait until having babies. Also a friend of mine had exactly the procedure done which you are thinking about and her recovery time was much longer than planned AND she had to have a 2nd surgery a few months later because there were some issues with one breast. Do you want to push back TTC to do the operation?

I know my boobs will sag, even if they don't get permanently enlarged by BFing. My body is almost a clone of my mom's other than the scoliosis/asymmetry, and her boobs are very sagging from 6 years of BFing. I don't relish the idea of sagging boobs but my current asymmetry bothers me so much more.

My mom also has a pot belly, partly genetics as the women in my family store fat there, partly from having kids since I've seen naked pics of her pre-kids. And since she only gained 15-20lbs with each pregnancy, I know it can be a lot worse. But my mother's body is still symmetric, and I don't find it ugly. I don't consider round bellies ugly, it's how my compressed torso gives me perma-rolls that upsets me. If my spine were straight, I know it would look much better and bother me less.

I know childbearing will further change my body, possibly dramatically. If that happens, I'll consider further surgery - though I don't fear those changes. But I am absolutely not willing to wait. If there are complications, I am okay with putting off TTC, though that is unlikely. Still, anything I can do now to restore symmetry...it's something I've wanted for so long. This is really a psychological issue, and not one that i can explain well if you haven't lived in my body. And it IS best done before childbearing, that's a fact.

Good luck, maidentomother! I hope your surgery and recovery are smooth, and the results are even better than you imagined!

I hope it all goes as planned and the results are even better than expected :)

Thank you!

All I have to say at this point is OUCH. 1 day post OP and I can barely move. Staying in a hotel here in Frankfurt or 2 more nights. Thank god for room service.

My right breast still looks smaller than the left but I do see an improvement., plus my scoliosis throws everything off. I am so anxious to see my fat belly and love handles gone but still in the girdle. I hope they got all the fat!

Surgeon said everything went beautifully (her words). Nurses were soooo nice and comforting. I WAS scared right before.

I hope you have a speedy recovery and that all you went through is well worth once you look in the mirror!!!

I'm glad everything went well! Hopefully recovery is swift :)
