More and more moms are turning to plastic surgeons to zap stretch marks, loose belly skin and other postpartum “battle scars”. Would you undergo surgery to regain your prebaby body?

You know, I used to want to be pencil thin.

I happen to know for a fact that I look better now (and feel WAYYYY better) than I did before I had children.

I thought long and hard about this, because I was tiny, with a small size B and after two children I'm still 5'5 at a 105, but I'm a flat out A.


It's taken many years

This was my attitude the last time some guy made a comment about my boobs.... not necessarilly a bad comment just that my boobs weren't that big... I said "whatever, they are better than man boobs" and i cracked up laughing. and i truly believe that... i don't care what size they are or that they aren't 20something boobs.. My boobs are better than man boobs... i'm a women. that's enough for me.. know what i mean...

As far as the stretch marks... depending on what the process for getting rid of them are.... that's the one thing i would like to change.... but i'm fair skinned and thin ... so the stretch marks don't really bother me... After all, I've had 5 children.... I feel very blessed to look good and feel good about myself.

Nope- because whatever "battle scars" I have from having kids- they're all mine. If a man won't be attracted to me because of this or that blemish- then he can hit the road!


Show me a MAN who doesn't have battle scars of his own- from something he's gone through in his life!! No one's perfect. And any man who expects air-brushed perfection... like I said, hit the road- and keep on looking for that ideal that you won't find!


And as far as pre-baby fitness goes... my workouts have already done that. All it takes is some discipline and commitment- not surgeons!


If I were to EVER get any cosmetic work done- it would be breast implants. Pregnancy/nursing didn't do them any harm. In fact I loved how big they were during that time! But unfortunately, once all that was done- I was back down to my "itty bitties" again. And if I got implants, I'd choose to

Good question Ang!


The only surgery I would want would be a boob lift- I have all the skin from DD (nursing), but am now a C with all that extra skin- so they sag more than I care for: but I don't remember them ever really being "perky" so, not a BIG deal... just one of those things...


Don't care about the stretch marks- I think I got more from puberty than pregnancy... Tummy tuck- don't need one- my tummy is fairly flat and the bottom has a curvy pouch that I feel is really sexy... Now- if they could make my THIGHS smaller...

I want to be above it all and say no...lol...BUT I was heavy when I was pregnant with my son and he turned out to be big so my lower abs and upper thighs are my enemies.

If I had the money I would definitely have a tummy tuck!

No. Don't need it. But you can give me all that money so I can buy a new bike, sign up for more triathlons and go and visit my coach and friends for more 30 hour a week training camps. :-D
