[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you knew me, you'd be shocked I was even researching this topic. I'm a clog-wearing, granola-making, extended-breastfeeding late-thirties mom who gets haircuts about two times a year and never hits the nail salon let alone keeps up when it comes to fashion. However, I'm now in the best shape of my life which sadly, has deflated my chest. Further, my nipples stretched out a bit during BF and they are starting to sag too which just gives me such an "old before her time" kind of look. If I didn't lose the weight and gain the muscle, I'd look just fine. But I'm strong and fit and not going back to my old size but somehow can't reconcile the breast loss. I'm just hoping to "fill" in the loose skin--nothing dramatic--so that I am back to my Full B cup. The kind of implant that no-one would really even notice except me and DH.  But I just feel so conflicted since 1. I would have never considered this before, EVER!, and makes me question my values as I get older 2. I'm not sure I could even tell friends and family since I'm afraid of being judged for being vain. Could I just live with my changed and aging body? Sure, I could. [b]Would I feel great about it, especially in light of all the work I'm doing to stay healthy?[/b] Not really. Anyway, wondering if anyone cut from the same cloth opted for surgery and is happy (or not) with the long term results, physically and mentally. Thanks![/quote]

Just one thing to consider.  Did you really do all of this just to stay healthy? Was/is that really your main focus?  Because the appearance of your breasts really has nothing to do with this.  I say this as someone who breastfed and then lost over 100 pounds.  I could probably explain to you, in detail, exactly what your breasts look like as mine likely look identical.  But there are consequences that come along with significant weight loss.  Take some time to celebrate your accomplishments before exploring the need to surgically make changes.  Give it at least six months of getting used to your appearance.  If you still feel the same after that, than go for it.[/quote]
