Would you have plastic surgery? ($ vs. risk)

LisaMarie - I think my answer and your answer are basically the same (well except the having kid part)

This is what I said...
Money. Honestly, I'm not worried about the money although I do think there are better things I could do with the money. If you gave me a choice of trekking in Peru or getting plastic surgery, I'd probably choose Peru and postpone the plastic surgery for another year.

I plan on it after I maintain weightloss for awhile. I have had 3 kids and nursed for almost the last 8 yrs. My weight has gone up and down from being pregnant. For me, I truly believe that your boobs shouldn't be down to your knees at 31 yrs old nor should you have to wear 2 to 3 sports bras to run so If I can correct it, I think I deserve too. My stomach is well, like others said, the apron of skin that effects what clothing I wear. Plastic surgery is a personal choice.

I would definitely do it, but not at this point in my life. I've thought about a tummy tuck or whatever surgery would get rid the extra bit of flab in that area. I don't have a lot, but what I have bothers me.

But before I take that step, I want to give my body a little more time to adjust to my new weight and composition--and by more time, I mean years. I also want to make sure I'm not going to have kids, and I still have a few years left in that regard. Seems like if I had tummy tuck and then had a kid, I'd have to just do it again. And I want to make sure I can maintain this weight.

I also know that there are going to be times when I'll probably gain 5 lbs or so and have to lose it again. If gaining 5 lbs would undo all the improvement from the tummy tuck, then, of course, there's no point in me getting one. Although I'm very good about dieting back down once I hit my red line, it's clear that it's not reasonable for me to expect that I'm never going to hit or exceed my red line ever again.

So I'm think it's maybe something I would do after say nine or ten years of maintenance. And that's a long ways off, so who knows how I'll feel about it then.
