Breast, Lipo, And Stretch Marks...what Do I Do ? Posted: 05-24-07 14:24pm
I am 24 years old and have two children. I
breast feed both and my breast show it
well. I am so self concious about my
breast they were barley a 34 B now a full
38 C spilling into a D cup. They are very
saggy now. I just dont feel my age when I
look int he mirror. My 55 year old mother
and I have the same boobs! I hate showing
them to my husband when we have sex. They
just don't look pretty to me.
Now, I need to lose weight. I have a 7
month old son and he and I packed on the
pounds!! I have lost 60lbs since I had him
and I STILL need to lose about 30lbs more.
Do you think it is okay for me to get
implants at 24 and if so should I wait
till I hit my ideal weigth. I have also
considered lipo as well.
Second question is, are there treatments
for removing or lightening stretch marks?
Thanks for any help

Well, whether or not it is ok at your age
is an opinion. Personally, I don't think
it would be right. I think far too many
people get breast implants when that
really isn't the root of the problem.
It's like treating a symptom instead of
treating the cause. I would suggest
working on the inside rather than the
outside. Maybe therapy, yoga, meditation,
or taking a college course. Those are all
things that you can make you feel good
about who you are, not what's on your
chest. If you care that much about your
looks, maybe you could use a self-esteem
boost first because none of that stuff
should matter.
When you think about all of the things
that are important in life, the perkiness
of you breasts should probably rank right
down at the bottom of the list. There are
so many things that are more important,
especially if you have children. There
are also much better ways that that money
could be spent. Feeling good about
yourself and gaining knowledge are things
you can keep with you forever. They're
also things your child can be proud of,
and things you can be proud to teach your
child.

Thank you for the remarks. But, I gave the
same speach to my sister who has no kids.
Yes, focusing on your selfworth is a great
idea and taking college courses, are all
fine. Actually in my spare time when I'm
not with my kids, husband or at work for
the government, I give blood, donate to
the needy, have a peer group I study with
on my lunch brakes, coach youth sports,
take classes,and own a non-profit
organiztion. I love myself and am very
happy with who I am as a person. I
contribute to this world and do my part to
make sure my kids can grow up in a loving
and understanding world. So, if you think
it's a selfseteem issue, you might be
traveling down the wrong path. I feel that
my internal is whole and complete and I
love my body< I'm not content with it
because it needs work, for me and only
me>
I intended to get some answers about a
decision I have already made.
So while I appreciate your efforts in
telling my plastic surgery is a mask for a
real problem. No, I love myself, I am a
beautiful woman and a great mother and
wife. I just want my body back that I had!
