I wasn't sure if I should post this in women's health or here in Beauty and Fashion but anyway.... (if you aren't comfortable discussing on the board, you can pm me also)
After I am done breastfeeding Keegan, which will be at least until he is 1 but probably until about 18mos., I am planning to get breast implants. I've also always wanted to get Rhinoplasty. I was wondering if anyone has had either of these procedures done and would be willing to give me the pros and cons and any tips you may have in making my decision. My reason for wanting implants is mainly because I was small already (barely A) and after bfing 4 children (or when I'm done with Keegan that is) I am small and loose. If I could stay the way I look now, while I'm bfing, I'd be perfectly happy but they are so hideous when I'm not bfing that I don't feel like a woman. The nose has been an issue since I was a kid. I have the bump on the nose which just doesn't look feminine to me. I've heard this procedure is really painful though. I know that if I do both procedures at the same time I can save money because certain fees (anesthesia etc.) would only be charged once. I am planning to pay cash for the implants but was considering getting the Rhinoplasty financed or saving a while longer and paying that in cash also. Anyway, if you have any advice or things I should look into and think about before hand I would appreciate it. (I like to know everything there is to know before I do anything.)

I don't think the rhinoplasty is bad, but implants...they're horrible. My aunt has them, but she is lucky and hasn't had problems with them. If you go on sites that have before and afters...just about all of the BEFORE pictures look BETTER. LOL...it's amazing how horrible they can look.
Not only that, but you HAVE to replace them every 8-10 years. That's a lot of money just for boobs. Especially when they can cause you all kinds of health problems. Mine aren't like they used to be, but I'm never going to get them. My health means more to me than the potential danger of the implants basically poisoning my body. Even saline isn't safe anymore. Also, like I said, you have to replace them and when you're ancient and wrinkled, you'll have these amazing breasts. Not something I'd like to think about... ![]() -------------------- |

I haven't had either, but I know many who have had breast ogumenation and they have never had any problems, honestly I have found that you get what you pay for, as long as you go to a great place to get it done, I think you should have great results!

2 of my sister-in-laws have implants--they both look nice but one is very very thin and she says you can feel the seam around the edge. The other is average size and she looks fine--bigger than my taste but fine.
My DH had somewhat of a nosejob--septoplasty with a little cosmetic bump shaving. Was painful and UGLY for a while but the drugs kept him happy. I definately want a boob lift/reduction after this nursling is finished. -------------------- Brenda, a mom and wife in love with my family

Just so you know, a lift is actually more difficult than a plain on boob job. Lifts also don't last. If you go to the right doctor and don't get enormously huge breasts, you should be fine. -------------------- ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Well the reduction should do the trick--I have VERY stretched skin--I couldn't care less about perky boobs anymore I just want them not to tuck into my jeans which I KNOW they will do if I nurse this little one for 2 years like my last. -------------------- Brenda, a mom and wife in love with my family

Mammaq..hun..I think someone else said it best, for the most part you get what you pay for and I've seen many boob jobs that have turned out nice. Good for you!!! -------------------- NICHOLE

I worked for a top plastic surgeon...one of the best in his field. He was truly an artist.

I've done these surgeries - but not on myself...I am an OR nurse...my best friend is a plastic surgeon.
You will save if having both done - more on the time in the OR, anesthesia is billed by time as well usually now-a-days along with a flat fee supply charge. Implants are running about 700 around here - each that is. You will also get a break if you pay the doctor in cash, usually. ![]() BUT, think good and hard about this - if you at any time think you want your tubes tied - or any other elective procedure - if you have that done at the same time as the other procedures, not plastic - then if the other doctor works before the plastic surgeon - the isurance will pay for the OR and anesthesia - and you would just pay the implants. (This is because they can not differentiate the time used for each procedure. ![]() HTH!! Kelly -------------------- |

after I get done having kids I want to get a boob job (probably implants and a lift) and maybe even a tummy tuck depending on how well my body does after I lose all my weight... dh doesn't believe in it but if it makes you look and feel better i say GO for it. Also Lauren implants are a LOT better now than they use to be especially since they switched to saline! I have done a pretty good bit of research because I have always been small

I've never had either so no help here.
I had to laugh at those who want breast jobs after nursing.....it's not the nursing that does it to your breasts it's pregnancy that makes them sag ![]() -------------------- ~*Karen*~

This is my take on it, I would never have plastic surgery myself but I won't say anything about those who want it done. I have friends who have had implants and they are ok for now, but they are still in their 20's, I know other women who are older and have had major major problems, pain, numbness, loss of feeling in their breasts, having to have them redone, etc...they have spend way too much money on their boobs if you ask me
