I've also had lipo and some laser thing that promised to tighten the skin on my upper arms. That was done under twilight. It didn't accomplish anything. In fact, the skin is saggier now actually. I'm strongly considering getting a brachioplasty.

DH says he'd prefer I not do it, but of course he's gonna say that. That's the only safe answer. But I will feel a giant weight lifted off my mind and I will have a higher libido if I'm not self-conscious about my saggy, stretched-out arm skin.

Some people don't care what they look like. Others, like me and you, do. (And, frankly, our spouses benefit from that.) Do what will make you feel good, and don't waste a second self-flagellating for being "vain." The breast lift is a simple, routine procedure and will give you lifelong benefits. (The other stuff you mentioned I'm not sure will do much, so maybe do a bit more research on those.)

Prime example. Start out with some surgery. Then more. Then more. Then it doesn’t work, so you need MORE surgery.

What kind of message does this send our children? You tell them to love themselves, they are perfect as is, but then see you go do a million surgeries to change very basic things about your looks. We want to tout self esteem and self love when clearly you have none. How can you raise kids being such a hypocrite?

For the posters calling me vain, I don’t care! I don’t want attention from other men. I love that my husband loves my body, but I still need to love my body.

You do need to love your body, as it is. Stop thinking that you'll love it once you've changed it. That's not love in any relationship, including your relationship to yourself.

You're weird.

It's 2025, and womankind are free to chose what to do with their bodies to make themselves happy. Botox, nose job, boob job, nothing to see here move along.

Nobody said you weren't free to choose. Smart people are saying you should consider all the possibilities so you can make a smart choice. "I don't feel good so I'll buy my way out of my feelings" is rarely a sustainable strategy. It's okay to push back on a culture that tells us we need to buy things for our bodies, or even buy body parts/adjustments, in order to feel good.

Nothing about recovery from this procedure feels good, by the way. And if the results don't make you feel good, then what? And for what? OP is mildly bummed about her not-even-all-the-way post-baby body. Instead of rushing to surgically alter things, maybe accept that your body made and fed a whole human?! Maybe analyze why you're not willing to accept minor boob sag, even though you clearly know that gravity works and age is an inevitability?

Choose, sure. Choose wisely is the only advice being offered here.

You're way over analyzing this.

A boob lift isn't rocket science, it's not a facelift. Been done millions of times. The other procedures, well, not sure will work at all.

While it's agree it's your body...what does it matter what your breasts look like as long as your DH is happy? Who else needs be looking at, judging, and liking your breasts?

It’s how I like to look. Not to brag but I had pretty great 38DD breasts. Not so much now.

So you desire more attention. Got it

I desire to feel comfortable in my own body. I don’t like the way I look naked and that’s a problem for me. Call me vain but it’s the truth.

Yes, it's vain, but are you willing to leave your children motherless over some boobs?

Ive never known a person who died from breast implants.

OP doesnt even want implants, just a lift.

I think prior commenters may be right - husband doesn't want the inconvenience of OP being laid up a few days is most likely

Oh please.
Do what you want OP. This trying to guilt you with “leave your children motherless” is BS.

At least try exercising and wait a couple of years post breast feeding to get surgery OP.

Or just do what you want. If your DH is young enough, he can probably find another woman to raise your kids.
