Boobs

It took my boobs a couple of months to get back to normal, but they evenutally did. A year later, and theyve gone back to normal.

I am right there with you sister! If, more like when I can work a lift in I am gonna so be ALL over it!!

I too, loved my *perfect* B's I had pre-baby...now they are droopy D's that hubby LOVES and I can not stand! We have made a deal, I wont make 'em any smaller as long as we can at least get them heaved back up into perky perfection! :)

Lots of my GF's have had this done and I hear it's not that bad!

I was in the exact same position you are in. But then I started thinking "why is this ok?" My husband is super sweet and loves my body. If he's okay with it, why aren't I? Now, I can't totally agree with some of the other posts that they'll perk right back up. Mine have perked up some, but never completely the same. But I'm okay with it now. (5 years after my youngest was born.) I still look pretty good and my husband enjoys them immensely. :) You do what YOU are completely comfortable with and won't regret later.

You're not alone... my 7 year old recently saw me topless and told me I have old lady boobs. I was like AWESOME. [eye roll!!] I'm 27, and had my first child at 19. I haven't known perky boobs for a looong time ;) My fiance doesn't care as long as I don't keep them away from him like you're doing to your poor hubby! Let him show them some appreciation; it will make you feel better about them again ;)

I too find it hard to believe people are telling you what your boobs will do. Everybody's body is different and it will react differently to different events (and strains) in your life.

I breastfed my 1st for 9 months. My 2nd for 4 months. I was a C cup before my 1st pregnancy and a B cup after my 2nd. And I was SAGGY.

I had a breast lift - with no implants. I'm still a B cup and I have absolutely no regrets. My plastic surgeon did warn that my surgery will not prevent the aging (gravity) process...but at least now they're not hanging down to my belly.

Good luck!!

I breastfed for 2 1/2 years. Needless to say I was pretty saggy and drooping looking by the time my daughter weaned. However, they are back to normal now. Naturally perky and firm. Just give your body some time to catch up with everything. I would definitely wait awhile before jumping into surgery that you very well might not need in the end. :O)

Mine have been B's then C's... then when prego/breastfeeding they got up to DD's now they are in between D's and C's... Mine are okay, still- and I have had 4 kids. I used to blame it on my age that they are still "nice". (had my first child @ 22, and my "last" @ 27). I'm 30 now, am I "lucky" or just younger?

Not bragging here (my stomach looks AWFUL from the pregnancies), but I've ALWAYS heard of moms' boobs going downhill after kids, so I expected it to happen to me. I assume it comes with the territory, and then there's the "lucky few" out there that don't worry about it.

I personally am skipping any tummy tuck, and if it were my boobs that were the problem, I'd skip the breast-lift. I've sorta started a "rule" in this family after finding out that my 3 year old daughter would have to have general anesthesia for a thumb surgery I opted for her to not have (it corrected itself, thank goodness!). That rule being? NO general anesthesia/surgery unless it is for life-threatening reasons or otherwise very important. It isn't worth the risk to me...

Not advice really, but i've been there too! I'm pregnant now and after I am all done nursing and everything, i have told my husband many times, that I am getting a lift. I had a C before my son, he sucked the life out of them and they were a sad look B. Now that I'm prego again- they looks fabulous! but no doubt they will deflate again when all is said and done. I say go for it! I am not a big plastic surgery person and never thought I would do it myself, but this is required i think!

.

i was super paraniod too. I had A cups my whole life it didnt bother me cuz gravity was never an issue. I never even needed bras. I nursed for 6 months, and it was bad right after. Just give it time the skin will shrink. Use sportsbras at night, and never go braless. Its not a wives tale keep them tight! Also a Victoria Secret employee told me to go for a Demi cup. I use Body by Victoria Demi cup. Its for breasts that well arent as thick as they used to be? lol They made my boobs look so much better and the support is great.

I had a boob job after my first kid, I don't regret it. I was very happy with them. After I got baby number #2 they grow more, I did have milk and I was able to breastfeed but also have the same problems with them as I did with my first without them. Actually, I had more success the second time around (I don't think it had nothing to do with the implants though).
I was worry that they will drop after I finish breastfeeding but they didn't, then again I was hoping to lose all my baby weight and that didn't happen either so that may the reason, lol.
Only you know your needs and desires, just think about it well before you take the decition.
The down side of them in my opinion:
-An operation "always" have a level of risk
-I don't feel very comfortable running or jumping unless I have double bra
-I am "always" using a bra
-There is a chance that if we have another baby they will drop next time.
-The one that bother me more is that when I get old and wrinkle all over they may not match, lol, and it would be time to say:"Thanks for the fun, and good bye".
Actually I don't think I want to go under the knife after one point so I most likely I will have to take them off sooner.

So make sure you think about it very well.

He loves you, he loves your boobs, he's not just being nice. Men have the ability to appreciate boobs of all different shapes and sizes. There are also plenty of men that PREFER the real thing, SO since you have a loving wonderful hubby that loves you and your boobs, I would think twice before I do anything extreme. If it makes you feel better, buy some new lingerie that push them up the way you like them and entice your husband like that. If you still can't get past the sagginess, talk to him before you go for surgery.

Right there with you. I've always been teeny (b cup). But they were nice and perky. Now...not so much. (Well, now they are huge again cause I'm preggo, but post baby they were not so perky). Hubby doesn't even notice - but I sure do. Honest to God - your hubby really doesn't care, he is not being nice to spare you.

I will suggest that you have all the kids you want before doing any surgery. Your body would have changed regardless of nursing. Pregnancy does a number on your body sometimes. I will never have my same abs, but that's what I get in exchange for an 8lb baby on a 5'1" frame. :) Hang in there, Momma. Buy some pretty underwear til you're ready and listen to your DH. He loves you. All of you.

Yes, been there! I thought they wouldn't come back but for the most part, they did. I'm not sure how long ago you weaned, but I also nursed until my son was a year old. They started to get better within the first few months and I thought they'd never be the same but now two years later, they are MUCH improved! Maybe not exactly the same as prebaby, but pretty close. I think they continued to fill out up to a year after weaning. I'm not one to say "don't get a boob job" because that's not for anyone to decide but you. But, if it hasn't been very long since you weaned, you may be surprised by how much they will fill out on their own. My husband is awesome too and if he cared he never let on, but I remember how bad I felt about it so I totally sympathize. Good luck in whatever you decide!

My boobs deflated so much after nursing 2 babies for a year that my youngest said 'mama, your boobies are lying down!' *awesome*

My advice would be to wait until you're SURE you're done having babies before you have anything surgically altered.

In the meantime, go and buy yourself some seriously sexy and cute push-up bras to 'fake it' for now. I know that, even though the hubbies don't seem to care, how WE feel about ourselves can mean do or die in the bedroom. So go and treat yourself to something lacy, racy and 'uplifting' in the bra department :o)

they will go back to normal eventually. just give it time. a boob job is surgery and ALL surgeries have risks. i know a woman who died from complications from a tummy tuck. not the greatest legacy for her two children. try some exercises. if you strengthen the muscles in that area, it will help them perk back up

good luck

How long has it been since you weaned? Your skin will tighten up a little, but it depends on your genetics, age, skin type, etc. if they'll ever go back 100%. I was a B, went to a D during each pregnancy, a DD while nursing, and back to a B after I weaned. But they're very "deflated" like you said. I've seriously considered getting a lift, but after having DDs for a while, I'd never get implants. I would even be happy with an A if they were up where they used to be! Good luck!

When did you stop? My breast reperk in about 8 months after the weaning. It is like the skin needs to tighten up naturally.

Pregnancy does that to boobs:( Nothing you can do short of surgery. Don't worry, it's not because you gave your son the gift of breastfeeding:)

Im in the same boat. I was a nice perky B cup pre baby and pre breastfeeding and now that I am 'dried up' I have little A cup flap jacks. Im very self concious too but I am too scared to do anything about it. I know its crazy to think this but I am still holding onto hope that baby #2 might make them come back and keep them big again =0)
Good Luck

Breasts will reperk.
Mine did.
I breastfed both my kids.
Its not saggy anymore nor does it look deflated.

Its not just your hubby being nice... They reeeeally dont care if boobs are a litttle saggy :) I had the same issue with my breasts after nursing my firstborn. I decided I want to have a lift/implants AFTER Im done having babies, bc whats the point until youre done using them for food right? Just try to think about how much your hubby still loves your boobs, even if youre not 100% satisfied with them right now...

Your body will adjust, and hopefully you will realize your husband loves you naked regardless on how critical you are of your own body.

If you plan on having more children - don't consider an augmentation - because your breasts will just do the same, except now there is a ball of implant to sag around.

I was 26 with my firstborn, breastfed just over 4 years and my breasts are EXACTLY the same as they were at 26 (I'm 31 now). My breasts did not enlarge much with my pregnancy or during breastfeeding. If you have the issue of enlarging a lot during pregnancy and the first few months of breastfeeding - it will cause some sagging whether you breastfeed or not.

I really wish some of these Moms who cannot grow up and act like adults would just let things go and stop putting unnecessary remarks in their posts to prod another Mom who's given advice which has nothing to do with the topic and giving their own piece of advice.
