Mommy Wants Her Body Back

I just need to know it is safe to do surgery

Women of 40 are NOT boomers, they are the children of boomers, so this is not at all an accurate statement. Show me women over 58 looking for breast surgery, and we will talk, until then do not put up misleading statements.

It's fine to be happy withyourself, you have to be, but is it really that bad to get breast surgery? I have tattoos and one day a body builder asked how I could do that to myself. It wasn't his thing and that's fine, but it is my thing and it's great for me. I see bodybuilding the same way as he saw my tattoo, an alteration of the body. We all have are things that are vain and totally unneeded. What's the difference between wanting to be healthy, wanting a body that's atractive to yourself, or wanting to work out? Why do we want tv's? Music? Any of the things that aren't really needed? Do you really even need to blog to this? Not really, but it's your choice, so let people have theirs.

I just need to know it is safe to do surgery

I am 26 and got my implants over a year ago. I am sure I will get them re-done once I have kids. I think this surgery is so very common no wonder it seems as common now days as dying your hair or getting your nails done. Many women in their 20's and 30's have already taken advantage of it, I don't see why it is strange to some people women in their 40's are getting this done. Women are women no matter the age. This is something that many women (when performed right and researched) find enhances their life in many ways... I say more power to women at any age who want to increase their self-confidence, as long as they know what they are getting themselves in to, go for it! To all you women in your 40's, you are beautiful with or without implants!! From someone who has had the procedure, I am very happy!

Dori you are right and if the person decides to this that is there choice this for me is just what I think and that is that they should really think about it

what about younger women like 28,29 or30 ????natrally they ot small breast why?????n solution???? or they also needplstic surjery????

What happen to just plain old great! excersice for breast left . It''s a much healthier and safe alternitive..Write about that. Thank you, Rhoda

The comments here are so varied - each approaching the issue from a different standpoint. Before taking such a hard line approach; either for or against - - perhaps you might consider playing devil's advocate to your position first.

It seems, first and foremost, a personal choice. Whether or not you agree with the choice hardly matters. The key word is 'personal'. At least allow these women the right to choose what is right for them, their 'coffers,' their families and thier lifestyles.

Esthetic beauty whether it be a garden or in a painting brings good feelings to the soul. Well groomed hair slim waists, healthy lifestyles all enhance our own personal sense of self in a positive light. Some achieve the self fulfillment in their profession or work, others through the interaction with people, however as we age we seek to find our sense of fulfillment in some manner. For women who have lived their lives wi th small breasts they know the women with larger breasts throughout their life were more attractable to the other geder. And while that is not a major reason for breast surgery once one is past puppy love, it demonstrates a myriad of self imposed questions and years of wondering "what if" As scientific facts are now more accessible it is far easier for women to reach their own conclusion of risk with surgery, and for each person, risk is defined differently. So as some women alpine ski and others are afraid of it, Risk in regards to disadvantages versus benefits will all be defined in several levels. I think the best thing we can do is provide the best scientific data of the largest demographic sampling, and ensure that parities with their own poitical agenda are kept at arms lenght. If a woman has a choice on abortion, it would follow that each individual woman has the right to make her own mind up on where she feels comfortable on the subject of breast enhancement. IF it makes her feel better about herself, then there would seem to be a good liklihood that she will be a better person to others around her. Free choice is what people have died for in this country. However when people go to make their free choice it is always odd that others have a lot to say about it.

Well its aparent that people will be vain and that they dont care about them selfs all they care about is there looks when they should be proud of who they are stop trying to change your self into a 25 year old women and just the women you are and let it go let the young be young and the old be old so live your life happy and not worred about looks BE YOUR SELF

My wife is as beautiful now as she was when we met. But, if she wanted implants to make her feel better, then so be it afterall, it's her decision. I will support whatever she decides.

Well actually we weighed the pros and cons of breast implants. And with modern technology, we think the risk is worth the benefits. At www.finestimplants.com we were able to choose between many options and when it was all over, my wife's sagging is gone and her body is like 19 again. So, for us it was definately worth the risk. Good Luck!

When I was a teenager, I was picked on about my small breast day after day ... I would go home from school and cry. I was so down on myself. I have had two chilren and they got even smaller. =-( I am now a week away from my 40th birthday and If the financial oppurtunity was there to pay for it , I would have the surgery in a second. I really beleive it would boost my self esteem that was crushed so long ago.

I'm 48. I've never had large breasts, but after two kids and aging, they're a little larger than when I was young. I used to envy women with large breasts (my ex-husband didn't help). Now I have friends my age who are buxom and they envy ME! There are a lot of advantages to being smaller - I would NEVER have surgery to enlarge them.

I think most people are being a littel on the vain side to think that it matters how big your brests are or what your figure looks like accept your self for who you are and live your life like you should let the young be the young and let the old be old this is the way it is now and if you change to much your no longer your self your only platic and silcone and barly human BE YOUR SELF

I think its better to have a bunch of confident, older, zoftig women walking the earth then not. If it makes you happy then do it. Sure theres risk, but theres risk in driving a car and most people do that. Also, take into consideration how the surgery will raise self esteem...amongst other things (had to).

Ok people. I am 41 and I am having my breast reconstructed. It is not because I am vain, but because they are no longer "full". I have no intention of getting huge ones, just my normal, natural size.

okay your disqusted, we get it...
