to get a boob job without telling mum

After breastfeeding 3 kids (the 3rd for over a year) my boobs are looking/feeling quite deflated and I'm seriously considering a boob job. I know my mum will be very anti this and as such really prefer to not tell her. Am I being unreasonable? Also do you think people I do tell will think I'm a vain bimbo or am I right in thinking most women would like a boob job but just don't courage to get round to doing it? thoughts please...

I can look a bit on the skinny side sometimes even though I'd be fat if I put on weight. I',m hoping a wee bit more in the boob dept will stop me looking so scrawny. Thanks for your input everyone.
Those that have had boob jobs,, do you need to get them replaced after so long? how was the recovery? Anything else I need to know?

Just stumbled on this thread. On the offchance that you are still around, whattodonow1, here is my twopennoth!

I recently had a boob job after bf my 2 children. I was really worried about telling my mum but she was brilliant and it was like a huge load was lifted once I'd come clean. Of course you don't have to tell your mum if you don't want to but be aware that she may surprise you by being more understanding than you expect.

On a practical note, I feel great after having mine and I love how I look now. I went from a AA to a large C/D cup and feel a million times better. But dont' underestimate the recovery time, especially with children to look after. You will needa lot of help for the tfirst few weeks.

Good luck anyway, don't let other people put you off and if you want any more info let me know. Smile

oooo I would love a boob job! but am too chicken! Mine are like saggy old ladies tiny boobs - am a small A cup (was a lovely pert B before 2 kids who sucked the life out of them!) and they make me feel ill. go for it! And i want to hear all about it!

ALL my friends (who I have asked!) have said they too would want theirs done it was a) pain free and b) free of charge - lucky for all you other ladies who still have good boobs!! I am not vain, but I am happy to admit my tits are crap and would look much better enhanced!!

I have had a boob job for the same reason as OP.

I went from 34D pre babies to 34B/A post babies... to a 34E/F.... they went up to a G when BF DS2. Now back to an E/F.... BUT

They do not look as big as their size, becasue they have more volume at the top of the breast, so sometimes you find the top seam of the cup cuts in when the rest of the cup fits so you have to go up a size.

They do not look comedy huge at all.

If it is what you want go for it OP, but i think you will need to tell your mum. If you have teh implants put under the muscles, which looks more natural, it is very painful. I could not sit up on my own (from reclining) for over a week, maybe two. I was still sleeping reclining 4 weeks later (you can't sleep flat aat first). You are not allowed to drive for at least a week.

Would it not be easy for your mother to find out, you can't drive for a while aftr and have to have your chest strapped up, it is really sore for the first week too.

A cup to GG. My eyes are watering, Smile

I wouldn't ever have a boob job, wouldn't want one. Just to answer my view on the bit in the OP that asks 'do all women want one'. No they dont. Doesn't matter though does it - it's what you want that counts.

I do think though that you should have the courage of your convictions and be able to tell your mum. All surgery carries serious risks and in the event of you having complications you and your kids may need her so it would be irresponsible not to tell her, imo. Unless you never see her and wouldn't need her help in the event of being seriously ill.

None of her business. My mum went on and on about how young and healthy I looked until I told her I have Botox, now she just lectures me about it. I couldn't give a shit I have never been happier.
