Out of the mouth of babes

[glitter eyes 1,398]

So now that I have been in maintenance for a while I have been trying to decide if I am going to pursue plastic surgery. I look relatively decent with clothes on so I haven't thought about it too seriously....

So my four year old niece is spending the weekend with us. While I was changing my clothes she looks at me and says, "Aunt Gee your boobies are soggy looking. You are smaller than my momma but your body is droopier."

Had to laugh out loud so much at that comment.

Guess it's time to think about getting work done... I mean who wants soggy boobies!!!

Here is to droopier soggy boobies!

Oh no! Picturing that coming from a four year old makes me chuckle a bit though. I think we're in the same area...North Florida? If you do decide to consider plastics, check out Dr. Desai. He did a really great job in all of my surgeries and his staff is excellent.

I never thought I would actually have plastic surgery, but I also had soggy boobies and a droopy rest of me and I am so happy I did decide to have surgery. It has made a night and day difference in how I feel. Also, I read a study that found that people who have plastics after bariatric surgery are more likely to keep off the weight they lost than those who don't. While at the time I didn't really see the reason why that would be, in hindsight when you literally cannot peel any fat/ skin off of yourself, I feel like this gives you a huge amount of confidence and more motivation to keep the weight off. I had several procedures done and while I love my new fake chest and my arms and legs, probably the most noticeable change for me was the Tummy Tuck and later the back part of the 360 lift. Most of my life I was either fat or thin so I could always pull a fist full of fat/skin from around my hips and now, I can literally grab maybe an inch, if that.

If you do decide to go with plastics, you will love the results!

@@AvaFern - I am in NE Florida, is he with St. Vincents? I suffer soggy boobs syndrome too

I am thinking about a reduction/lift down the road...

You gotta love the honesty of a child.

Breast surgery is number #1 on my list. I've had larger than normal breasts since puberty so I'm looking for a combo of reduction and lift. I'm shooting for January.

Just like WLS, plastic surgery isn't for everyone. So ultimately you need to do what is right for you. Best of luck whichever path you choose!

Yep, Dr. Desai's office is at St. Vincent's, but he does surgery at an out-patient facility. Below is the link to his site:
