Plastic surgery - would you, should !?

[Prufrock]

So - I'm seriously considering a mummy tuck. I have been exercising my arse off for a year now, and whilst my arse looks really rather nice, and the rest of me is significantly firmer than before, I still have a saggy belly and even saggier norks. I can afford surgery, dh is probably about to get 3 months off work so I can have the time off from my SAHM role to recover, I have had 2 c-sections so feel I have an understanding of the pain/seriousness of surgery and I want to do it. DH is all for it - he likes me as I am, but liked me as I used to be as well so is happy for me to do anything that makes me happy (as long as I don't have my norks reduced too much). I want to be able to wear strapless dresses (my 32GG's defy even bravissimos best strapless bra) and to not be able to hold a beer bottle under my breast (don't ask why I know I can do that)

God Pru - not seen you for years but looked great last time I saw you!

If you think it would make you happy do it, I would have a tummy tuck, nose job and boob lift is DH would cough up!

You don't need a nose job twinkie. And thank you - but IIRC(and I hope I do) I was fully clothed, and probably wearing magic knickers and a boulder holder bra - it's a different matter when the clothes come off!

Wasn't it the Tom Conti character in Shirley Valentine who says she should be proud of her stretch marks because it means she is a mother etc etc. Shirley Valentine, meantime, is thinking he doesn't half talk a load of crap pretentious nonsense.

hmmm
I think your two children are a reminder that you have had two children

I used to be anti surgery, felt that living with your uniqueness is Character Building.

Now that I am getting older and I swear my nose is growing...i have changed my mind.

And you have some serious Norkage

Go for it with caution.

And I think it sounds like you have a fab husband.

Do you think you'll go for it prufrock?

I've been researching and I think I might just go for the breast reduction, with potentially a bit of lipo on the very stubborn bit of fat in the middle of my belly - examining carefully my tummy actually looks better now than some of the tuumy tuck "after" pictures! And a breast reduction is a significantly easier op than a tummy tuck. And (I know that this is just justifying it to myself but that's what I need) it's only now I've done some research that I've realised taht my constantly tense shoulders and neck could actually be down to the heaviness on my chest.
I am waiting to find out of dh gets offered his super-duper new job, which should be by the end of teh week, so I can book in a consultation down in London with the 2 potential surgeons.

Good luck with finding the right surgeon etc.
