    Bath im pretty sure a mastectomy would be a medical reason to get new boobs!


    i think i would only want a boob lift.. but then again my belly button would get lonely..

    But if the mastectomy was voluntary... not because you had cancer... only because you have the gene...

    If I have a gene test and find out I have the BC gene I might be able to be rebated IYKWIM?

    But if she got tested and had the gene, then she would have to have a mastectomy before having implants and that would be a huge surgery.

    My surgeon checked me for any lumps at my first consultation. If there is anything that need to be checked out they wont operate til you get the all clear.

    Yep... (and I changed it to me just incase it upset BTW) yep, I thought it would be a huger thing... even if you only have a small amount of breast tissue.

    I say go for it Cougar!

    I had NOTHING as a teen. Like not even fill a training bra nothing. It was horrible considering the rest of my body (back then anywho lol) was built for bigger boobs. I went and saw a surgeon about implants when I was 18 but he so wisely talked me out of it as I had not even had kids yet and in his 35+yr experience even the best implants still tend to bow to gravity and the rigours of pregnancy/breastfeeding so he advised me to wait and see how I felt after kids. Could have implants then or may get away with just a lift.

    Turns out pregnancy gave me heck cool boobs so now I might only need a lift. Im more keen on the tummy tuck aspect but will have to wait til Im 110% sure there wont be anymore kiddos.

    Youll be able to show em off when we hit the GC in June

    TD, you sure can But again, DH thinks it's a stupid amount of money to spend on something 'shallow' (pfft, coming from a bloke who is blessed with a metabolism allowing him to eat as much as four people put together and never put on a pound! He's never had body image issues so doesn't know the cost would be soooo worth it for someone like me who is fighting an uphill battle against genetics!)... it's definitely on the wishlist and maybe if we manage to win Lotto one day it'll happen for me hehehe I'd be interested to hear how yours goes so I can find out a bit more about it - it's not just pregnancy that's made me this way, I've always had a problem with excess skin around my middle so diet and exercise aren't going to cure it!

    Ah I have a (ex)husband like that Donna - he makes me sick the way he eats whatever and is still stick thin. Lucky for me he said if he gets an o/s trip with work sometime soon because Im so fabulous a (ex)wife and mother he would foot the bill for a tummy tuck provided I figure out what weight I want to be, get there and stick to it.

    I'll take a flat tummy over saggy boobs anyday - Im fine with push up bra's but man Id love to burn my granny undies
