I am getting a breast reduction as soon as I'm done with kids/breastfeeding. I'm tentatively planning next December (so a year and a half from now). Insurance will pay for it...so I'm hoping to have a kid in March, bf for 6 months, then do the reduction that year so that I only have to meet one deductible. Free!!! lol
I'm going to ask about lipo/tummy tuck too. I have a HORRID c-shelf, and would love to have that removed or lessened.
That might have been a bad example. But I don't think I would elect to do a plastic surgery because I hate blood and pain and just the thought of it all makes me woozy. HOwever, if I had to have some sort of emergency surgery then I would consider plastic surgery while already under (think, car accident and need surgery for something on my face, then I would have no problem having them do something to fix it, you know?)
But also, is that real about the C sections and tummy tucks?! I have been telling H "if we have to have a C section I am FO SHO asking for them to do a tuck too!"
It would be the one benefit of having to have a C-section (other than, you know, healthy baby in the end)!
Well, seems like you CAN do it but it's not advisable. (wilted)
When Dr. Shari Brasner talks with women on the operating table about to undergo a cesarean, she often hears the same one liner. “Patients joke, ‘Hey, can you do a tummy tuck while you’re in there?’” says the Mount Sinai Medical Center obstetrician. But even if she could, Brasner tells Yahoo Parenting she wouldn’t – nor should any obstetrician. “Most OB-GYNs have zero plastic surgery training, and that’s what this involves,” she explains. “It’s a significantly bigger surgery than the name implies.”

If I had extra $$ around I might take a small bump off the bridge of my nose and then have them get rid of my muffin top/mom pooch. But I haven't tried to really get rid of the stomach fat, so I guess I should try that first before I spend thousands on that.

Yeah I wouldn't recommend it. It's in a different area than where the incision would be for a tummy tuck. I had a c/s with DD and I think it's better to let you body get back to itself before deciding if you want a tummy tuck or not.
I'm scheduled for gastric bypass next month. I've already started saving for breast implants, tummy tuck, and lower blepharoplasty (removal of bags under the eyes). The lower eyelid surgery has nothing to do with weight loss, but it's cheaper to do everything at once.
I've been losing weight, and if I lose as much as I want, it'll be more than a hundred pounds (I'm at almost 50 now)... so I may (or may not, who knows) need surgery to rid me of excess stuff when all that's done. When I'm down another 70 pounds or so, I'll see how I look and may opt for it.
Also, my boobs have always been not-perky. Like, at all. They're big (G-H cup) and don't point anywhere near where they're supposed to. They're also not getting smaller as I lose weight (like, my band size is going down, while my cup size goes up) So if I were to get the post-weightloss surgery, I might opt to get my boobs lifted and maybe reduced. It'd be nice to be able to buy a bathing suit or sports bra without having to worry about getting the most serious-hardcore-OMG support.
To me, though, those are less fully cosmetic than a combo of cosmetic and practical.
Fully cosmetic stuff I'd contemplate: Getting my uneven nose evened out. Eye lift. Laser facial hair removal.
