Kimberleyking - I have that "push out" below bra line to belly button and it is muscle seperation from how I carried. Tummy tuck they go in an sew it all back together PS said that is where most of my pain will be in recovery. Lovely.
I am glad I had kids but I also think no one really talks about the toll it takes on a woman's body and how it affects everyone differently.
This is a very diversive issue. I think as long as the surgery is done for the right reasons it's ok. Nobody should be pushed into it because of someone else's thoughts or perceptions of how the body should look. We are constantly reminded by the media etc as to how the "stars" look, but in reality we're all different and nobody is perfect. I know that's a simplistic attitude because I'm talking from experience. For years I had the worst "manboobs" (even typing that makes me wince). However I gathered up the courage (and funds) to approach a surgeon.....after an embarrissing and traumatic appointment with a GP. I had a procedure done eight months ago and can honestly say I have never looked back. I wear shirts and tee shirts that I would never have looked at before and I feel much more comfortable in social situations. I also realise that I have been incredibly lucky that I was left to make my own mind up about my surgery without pressure or comment from Mrs P (even though she's a nurse). So I think what I'm trying to say is that before rushing into anything, please take advcie and consider all your options. I hope that anyone who takes the surgery option is as happy as I am !
My best friend is the secretary of a psycho-sexual counsellor. The amount of misery body-confidence issues cause is staggering.
If you are in the position to make yourself feel better, do it.
Another friend was a mortician. She'd always tell me to do it while I could as life is not a rehearsal.
If I could afford it I'd have cosmetic surgery. I'd love a breast reduction and was offered it on the NHS by my old GP. When I finally decided to go for it, my GP had retired and my new one told me to pull myself together and not be stupid! Now I have permanent backache to cope with.
If/when you go in, shower with hibiscrub (or, if you prefer natural products, tea tree - I use Australian Bodycare) for a week beforehand. It helps reduce the chance of infection. Also, I believe they used to suggest taking arnica tablets to help reduce bruising, but you should check with your doctor about both my suggestions.
Good luck.
Threads about cosmetic surgery on this forum are dangerous! To many people who know better! I started a thread not long ago about my OH who was thinking about a boob job, she didn't want bigger boobs just them back as they were! She loves her boobs, they have always been big but also very pert! She loved the fact that at the age of 40 they were still the same but unfortunately over the last few years age and gravity has done its job and there not what they were, now I don't have a problem with them but I know my OH does so we were looking into cosmetic surgery just to get them lifted, I started a tread to ask for advice and any pitfalls with the procedure, l made it clear it was all my OH's wishes and nothing to do with me! Oh my god did the abuse fly! We should except things as nature intended, I was shallow for wanting to help her get them done, there was some great advice as well but the insults got that bad I asked LoveHoney to take the thread down as it wasn't what I was expecting or I felt deserved, LoveHoney did take it down! Just be careful, you have been warned! X
well I am sorry Yes man that people were abusive on your earlier thread... that is not the spirit with which I started this thread.
I know that others on here have had procedures and i was seeking advice and feedback. I think this is so related to people's sex lives it is a relevant thread. If someone finds the topic to be a trigger or just wants to be negative there are lots of other threads to participate in here.
"As nature intended" wow... I guess I am shallow in a way for doing this. But what I have decided to do is not about everyone else but about me. When something is this bothersome to me personally in how I can move, how my clothing fits, my posture and even skin irritation I guess I am happy to take "nature" into my own hands or the hands of my surgeon to make it better.
So I guess it comes back to the old addage until you have walked a mile is someone else's shoes... dont judge.
I have also found realself . com to be a great resource of reviews and real people regarding PS, but I feel this is also related to sexual health which is why I started this topic here.
