Even then I'm not sure.</p> <p>I've just never been particularly concerned with how I look, though I do try to stay fit and will continue to do so during pregnancy and after babies. Heck, I don't even plan on dyeing my hair as I go gray. It's all totally personal opinion though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/after-you-are-done-having-kids-while-you-get-a-mommy-makeover/page/3#post-1591123 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 20:49:40 +0000 sorrycharlie 1591123@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>nope. I'm 26 but I'd vote the same at 40. I have no interest, has nothing to do with my age and everything to do with my beliefs/personality. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/after-you-are-done-having-kids-while-you-get-a-mommy-makeover/page/3#post-1591028 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 20:25:29 +0000 mamimami 1591028@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 35 (almost 36!!!) and I say no. Just can't justify it to myself and not really interested in doing so I guess! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/after-you-are-done-having-kids-while-you-get-a-mommy-makeover/page/3#post-1590507 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 18:32:42 +0000 MrsStormy 1590507@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: I'm a young mom (I think?), I'm 27, and I would do it if I felt I needed it, wanted it, and could afford it. I'm not sure right now if I would because we will probably have another child and I'm not sure what my body will do then. For now I don't think I would because I think I could get my body to a good place if I worked my butt off. Unfortunately the things I am insecure about just are what they are- stretch marks on my butt and thighs. </p> <p>I would for sure like to get lasik and laser hair removal though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/after-you-are-done-having-kids-while-you-get-a-mommy-makeover/page/3#post-1590066 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 15:57:19 +0000 night cheese 1590066@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, never. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/after-you-are-done-having-kids-while-you-get-a-mommy-makeover/page/3#post-1589782 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 14:37:39 +0000 lilyofthewest 1589782@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a large tattoo across my abdomen that I expect will need some work to fix after babies. </p> <p>I'm also pretty self-conscious about the wrinkles that are taking up residence on my forehead. I may do something about those, though not necessarily delaying that until after babies. </p> <p>No major surgeries though. I know enough about the risks of deep sedation and general anesthesia (RN in ambulatory surgery) to know that I'm not interested in having them unless it is truly medically necessary. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/after-you-are-done-having-kids-while-you-get-a-mommy-makeover/page/3#post-1589750 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 14:30:42 +0000 Ginabean3 1589750@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>personally no....I'm scared of something going wrong. and I think I look fine. I'm 32 and had a LO last year. my mom had 3 kids and she looks fine (abeit a little wrinkly, but her body is in decent shape for a 58 yr old). I'm counting on my good genes. :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/after-you-are-done-having-kids-while-you-get-a-mommy-makeover/page/3#post-1589723 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 14:25:18 +0000 deactivated_account 1589723@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The mother of a girl I grew up with had a sort of mommy make over and she fell into a coma. She never woke up and remained in a coma all through high school. I'm sure she is probably dead now. Because of this, I can't stomach the idea of someone with kids voluntarily putting herself under general anesthesia for a purely elective cosmetic surgery. But whatevs, right? Vanity reins! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/after-you-are-done-having-kids-while-you-get-a-mommy-makeover/page/3#post-1589545 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 13:37:45 +0000 mediagirl 1589545@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 35, had M at 33 and I'm a no. I don't really like plastic surgery and going under anesthesia scares me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/after-you-are-done-having-kids-while-you-get-a-mommy-makeover/page/3#post-1589366 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 13:01:57 +0000 Cherrybee 1589366@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If I had the money, I wold start at my big toe and work my way up! But I would rather send my kids to university so I guess I'm stay fat, wrinkly and saggy with wonky baps and rubbish teeth. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/after-you-are-done-having-kids-while-you-get-a-mommy-makeover/page/3#post-1589346 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 12:57:31 +0000 plantains 1589346@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: I had DD at 32 and will likely not have #2 until 36, but I wouldn't consider surgery. I had DD by c-section and will likely have an RCS for the next so I'm not necessarily frightened of going under the knife, I just don't think the situation calls for plastic surgery. So far, I am not back to my pre baby body but I am lazy and things have bounced back enough for me to tell that diet and exercise would do the trick. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/after-you-are-done-having-kids-while-you-get-a-mommy-makeover/page/3#post-1588843 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 11:10:52 +0000 cheert16 1588843@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If I didn't have to pay for it- absolutely! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/after-you-are-done-having-kids-while-you-get-a-mommy-makeover/page/3#post-1588760 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 10:48:55 +0000 MrsKoala 1588760@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd like to get a breast reduction but that isn't really related to having babies since I was huge to begin with. I just know I'll have to wait until after the kiddos if I want to be sure that I can BF without issues. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/after-you-are-done-having-kids-while-you-get-a-mommy-makeover/page/3#post-1588714 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 10:33:25 +0000 Anagram 1588714@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't know. I have a close friend who had her nose done (before I met her) and I never would have known. It looks totally natural and not like a weird, tiny nose. But I've seen plastic surgery go so wrong before! I've had several friends who have had their boobs done, and they are too big (in my opinion) and the friends just look fatter overall.</p> <p>So I'm scared it could all go wrong. I'dr ather have a magic genie who would do what I want (remove stretch marks, make the girls a bit smaller and perkier). but ana ctual surgery with a major recovery time? Ehhh...probably wouldn't do it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/after-you-are-done-having-kids-while-you-get-a-mommy-makeover/page/3#post-1588709 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 10:31:51 +0000 Pepper 1588709@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: Same here... I need to see a specialist like Silva suggested. It sucks, especially when I run (which is something I enjoy).</p> <p>I don't think I'd get elective surgery for cosmetic reasons, only because I'm too afraid of surgery in general. If I could magically have something fixed without being put under, I'd be all for it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/after-you-are-done-having-kids-while-you-get-a-mommy-makeover/page/3#post-1588700 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 10:29:32 +0000 cascademom 1588700@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. When I was in my teens, my dad offered me a nose job since I was so self conscious about it. I got his nose which is to say it's a strong Polish one. A year or two ago, my dad had his nose done. It looks great and is very subtle. For him, it's the right choice. </p> <p>In terms of body modification post kids, nope. I've lost weight for LO and postpartum weight gain. I'm happy with my body. I can fit in things again. I'm totally fine with my limp, saggy breasts. It just doesn't bother me. </p> <p>Also, my mom's been through a lot of surgeries and health problems through the past few years. Seeing her struggle with surgery is enough for me to not want to do it by choice. I would also feel bad about making life difficult for my kids and husband as I recover from a surgery like that. The selfishness of that in the context of tending to a household and kids is enough for me to say no way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/after-you-are-done-having-kids-while-you-get-a-mommy-makeover/page/3#post-1588673 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 10:21:59 +0000 2PeasinaPod 1588673@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think the only thing I would consider is getting a boob lift. I've never been happy with my boobs. They were enormous for my frame before I got pregnant, were HUGE when I did, and now they are pancakes. I've just never been happy with them. I don't think I could justify spending the money though. If they were paid for 100%, then I would go for it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/after-you-are-done-having-kids-while-you-get-a-mommy-makeover/page/3#post-1588667 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 10:20:41 +0000 pui 1588667@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't know... maybe. I think I'll try diet and exercise first, but if I am really unsatisfied after that I'd consider it I guess. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/after-you-are-done-having-kids-while-you-get-a-mommy-makeover/page/3#post-1588643 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 10:13:56 +0000 rachiecakes 1588643@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If I wasn't happy with the way my body looked after baby, definitely. At 6 months PP, I absolutely thought that I would for sure but now I'm fine with how I look. </p> <p>I will definitely consider fillers in the near future though. I've got some forehead lines that I'd like to erase. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/after-you-are-done-having-kids-while-you-get-a-mommy-makeover/page/3#post-1588587 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 10:01:22 +0000 AmandaB8 1588587@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'll get my boobs done for sure. And I might throw in a tummy tuck since I'll already be under. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/after-you-are-done-having-kids-while-you-get-a-mommy-makeover/page/3#post-1588170 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 08:33:23 +0000 autumnlove 1588170@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Probably not but who knows! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/after-you-are-done-having-kids-while-you-get-a-mommy-makeover/page/3#post-1588165 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 08:32:15 +0000 swurlygurl 1588165@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm for sure getting a breast reduction, possibly lift depending on the state of my boobs and since I'll already be undergoing surgery.</p> <p>I've been waiting on a reduction since I was in high school!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/after-you-are-done-having-kids-while-you-get-a-mommy-makeover/page/3#post-1588134 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 08:23:21 +0000 honeybear 1588134@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm an older "no" vote. I'm not willing to fight nature that aggressively. </p> <p>The (much) older bodies I admire are the ones that are obviously active--the 50-something lady who walks miles on the beach every day in her bikini and the 70-something lady who plays tennis and swims in the ocean (also in a bikini) daily. They're the definition of hot old chicks, in my view, and I plan to be like them one day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/after-you-are-done-having-kids-while-you-get-a-mommy-makeover/page/3#post-1588128 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 08:21:56 +0000 cmomma17 1588128@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No way! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/after-you-are-done-having-kids-while-you-get-a-mommy-makeover/page/3#post-1588121 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 08:20:27 +0000 LuLu Mom 1588121@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, I told DH before having kids that I would be getting my boobs reduced/lifted after we had children. If I can throw in a tuck/lipo I'll do that as well. I will do whatever it takes to get this done, specifically my boobs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/after-you-are-done-having-kids-while-you-get-a-mommy-makeover/page/3#post-1588117 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 08:19:29 +0000 Littlebit 1588117@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hm. I don't know! I can't see myself doing it, but never say never. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/after-you-are-done-having-kids-while-you-get-a-mommy-makeover/page/3#post-1588085 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 08:09:28 +0000 looch 1588085@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, it's not for me. I support it for other women though, if it helps them with body image issues. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/after-you-are-done-having-kids-while-you-get-a-mommy-makeover/page/3#post-1588079 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 08:08:04 +0000 alohaorchid 1588079@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well considering that I can't even manage to get pregnant, it's not really an issue right now. But, absolutely! If I need a makeover after having a baby (we only want one child), I will do it for sure. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/after-you-are-done-having-kids-while-you-get-a-mommy-makeover/page/3#post-1588078 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 08:07:16 +0000 NovBaby1112 1588078@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, I wouldn't have anything done. I was 27 yrs old when my LO was born and was extremely fortunate to bounce back without any exersize or dieting. However, I was an A pre-pregnancy, grew to about a B/C during breastfeeding, and am back to an A once again, without the perkiness I used to have :( </p> <p>However, it's not something I would go under for- not worth the risks to me. Plus, we wouldnt even be able to afford it, and I would rather spend the money on LO's education or what not. </p>
