Don't let internet strangers make you feel badly about yourself.
I wanted to say this same thing. If it's something that you've always been self-conscious about, I'm glad that you can finally get it taken care of. But, please don't let our laughing about it here sway your decision. A bunch of interwebz bitches shouldn't make you feel less than beautiful.

I would love to get bigger boobs but my H had been only lukewarm when I've brought it up, and I'm not thrilled with the idea of getting them redone every 10 years or so.

Wishing you a speedy recovery!
I'd love to get a boob lift, to get the ladies off my belly, but DH is very against boob surgery. His (now) XW had an augmentation done, and he said they felt like bags of cement. Even when I pointed out that nothing would be added, just moved, he's still not thrilled about it. I can see me getting an eyelid lift in the next 5-10 years. I have hooded eyelids, and the fold-over almost touches my eyelashes.
Nothing yet, but I just had a consultation for a breast reduction last week. I'm hoping they'll get it submitted to my insurance for approval on the next week or so, and if it gets approved, I should hopefully have it in November or December. If not, I'll have to wait till February because of work - no time off allowed in January.
But given that I'm about a 38I, I don't think my insurance will deny me.
They better not deny you! Unfortunately my insurance is poop right now, so they wouldn't cover anything for me. I have to wait until November to change Ins. companies. Oh and I hope everything goes well with your surgery.
I don't think they will, but I'm trying not to get my hopes up just in case. But I got letters from my GP and GYN saying they think I need it. And in the last 2 years I've lost 30lbs, but my boobs have remained the exact same size. So I'm pretty sure they'll approve it.
I want breast augmentation SO much but I'm sure I'll never go through with it. but damn! I'd love to! Most of my gfs are getting Botox. I'm sure I'll do that shortly.

Farmville, your nose is great.
I had breast reduction a long time ago, 1995. Went from 32DD to a full 32C. Forty years old and they are perky. I have a smile scar and around the nipples. My milk didn't come in to breast feed--otherwise no complaints. It was life changing not to be so sexualized.
I need Botox and a tummy tuck but I think I am too scared for both.

YES! My main reason for wanting a reduction is so I don't look like walking tits that jackasses stare at. I hate it that my description probably includes something along the lines of "that girl with big tits." In my mind, I'm a lissome, flat-chested intellectual. Titties ain't got no place here!
It took a full year for me to feel like it looked normal, and for the tip to look natural. I have thick skin, and there was a lot of swelling. It healed unevenly so I was super anxious about the final outcome. I had cartilage added to the tip, the sides narrowed, and my nostrils reduced.
( I had 3 different dr consultations) One of the drs I had a consult with, said he didn't want to do my nose at all bcs it would be too hard to reduce my nostrils.
The person I should have picked was 3k more, and now I have regret for not spending the extra $
I do feel like my nose looks better than before, but it doesn't look as good as it could. I'm too chicken and feel like I'm too old (why bother) to redo it.
Re: Bleph I felt like I looked tired all the time, and doing this helped tremendously. After the skin settled, I just wish I went a millimeter bigger
When did you do the fat transfer? and how has this healed? tell me more... My friend also went to a Dr in BH for a rhino and bleph at the same time .. I forgot his name but he had an MTV show for a short time.
I had a breast augmentation in 2008 and then a tummy tuck with some lipo in 2009. I'm so glad I did both.
I'm probably going to re-do my breast augmentation again in a few years and I'll probably get them a bit smaller. I had heard everyone regrets not going bigger so I went as big as they could. They're pretty big and I miss being able to wear certain types of shirts.
The tummy tuck recovery was a bit brutal and I remember it taking a while before I could stand up straight again...but it was seriously money well spent. I had gained 75 lbs when I was pregnant with DD in 2005 and then gained more after I had her and worked hard to loose it all. There was no way my stomach was going to be flat again unless I had the surgery.

Dagny I am more than a little pissed off this place has made you feel shamed about your lady bits. Have you SEEN a penis? That shit ain't pretty. And yet biologically, inexplicably, we (well, of the heterosexual variety) are attracted to it.
ANYONE that has made you feel ashamed about your body is a grade A asshole and not worthy of taking a second of your consideration. It's a bit of a cheesy quote, but don't let negative people rent space in your head.
Oh, and this seems like a good place to leave this...
I also have floppy labes. Variety is the spice of life. I wish you liked yours better, it's sad to think that you think less of yourself because of some internet jokes.

I had a tummy tuck with muscle tightening, the excess skin on my arms removed, and a Lower back lift. I almost died. I was supposed to get my thighs, chest, and upper back done but no way in hell would I do this again.
Please watch for complications super closely. It's not worth losing your life over.
I had a nose job my senior year of high school. My dr also did Camille Grammar's rhinoplasty, lol. Anyway, I had two black eyes that took about a week to get back to normal. The tip of my nose was very stiff for a long time. The worst part was, I dunno if he did something wrong or what, but the moment the bandages came off, I could tell immediately that it was harder to breathe through my nose. I felt like my nostrils or passageways were smaller or something. Plus I think my septum was affected or something, if I tilt my head back, look in the mirror, and take deep breaths through my nose, there's one side where one nostril like collapses or something. Sigh. I had several follow up visits with him where I brought up these concerns, he said he didn't see anything wrong (naturally). I wear a Breathe Right strip every night to bed so that I can breathe through my nose. I feel better about myself looks-wise, but this problem has definitely impacted my life.

The BRCA1 gene runs in my family so after we're done having kids I plan to get tested. If it comes back positive I'm doing a preventative radical double mastectomy and getting a breast augmentation. If I'm going under the knife, I may go ahead and do some lipo and whatever else. Might as well, right?
My DH said he wanted a face lift too. He was very youthful looking (got it from his mom who is amazingly youth for being in her 70's), but if he felt he needed it, I would have supported him 100%.

I hear you and you described it in a much better way than me. It was so unsettling to have my body not match my inner world. However, being married 11 years, DH is still sad he never saw the old me. He blocks out I guess my description that they were hanging to my stomach and I was 19. I think a b or c is ideal and I wanted a b but they couldn't get me that small.
I had a breast reduction 4 years ago. I'm so happy with the results. My boobs look better than they did in high school. Other than that I've had some fillers (lips and under eye area) and a lot of Botox
Please tell me your doctor is Paul Nassif, please!
I would like a boob job/lift (nursing for a combined almost 3 years really deflated what wasn't all that much to begin with) and maybe some sort of lipo/tummy tuck (2 C-sections) though really, that's only if somehow we became millionaires, which will never happen
