Post-Baby Plastic Surgery

I have nothing against plastic surgery, as a rule. If you have realistic expectations, and do it for the right reasons (to fix one physical thing that is bothering you, not fix your life or boost your self esteem), then it can be a great tool to make you feel more beautiful. So I have no problem with the concept of post-baby plastic surgery to help erase some of the toll that pregnancy, childbirth, and nursing can have on your body.

During my last pregnancy, my breasts were, to put it mildly, huge. I was thrilled. I've always been a decent small C, but now they were full D cups, and I loved it. This lasted through nursing, but when the nursing stopped, so did the cleavage. Suddenly, my beloved new breasts were gone, and they were replaced by much smaller B cups. Worse, they weren't as, ahem, perky as they were before.

A friend of mine recently had twins. Her husband told her, before she gave birth, that if she felt the need for a tummy tuck, he would spring for it. She didn't. Instead, she wants to have her breasts done.

Now that I'm pregnant again, I am once again happy with the shape and size of my breasts, but if they disappear again (which, let's face it, they will), I am prepared to take the plunge and get a lift and, if necessary, an augmentation.

I have never wanted fake breasts before. I never saw the need to put something foreign into my body. That was before I had a baby. Now, I will do whatever it takes to feel good about the way I look. I'll get a tummy tuck too, if I see the need for that too.

Thank God for modern medicine. Not too long ago, women had to live with the ravages that time and motherhood had on their bodies. Now, we have a choice!
