My husbands ex wife had one and a HUGE boob job done.

I told him I wanted both too and he BEGGED me not to! He said the recovery was awful, she has terrible scars and looks bad. He said it's soooo not worth it.

And I have to add, I'm VERY plus sized with tiny boobs. And he's a boob man. LOL But he married me like this and loves me just as I am. Sometimes you just have to accept what you've been given and be happy you are healthy and don't risk any complications you may get from having it done. Good luck!

Many doctors will give you a free consultation and there you can ask all your questions (in case you don't find what you are looking for here). The consultation was very helpful in helping me decide whether or not to have the procedure.

Mine was like Rosebud's. I had no idea I wouldn't be able to stand up straight for weeks.

My sis n law had one. I was surprised at how long and bad her scar was. She doesn't even have kids and it looked terrible.

I've known several women who have had them.. all had different experiences. One developed a huge infection requiring another surgery, another had a hard recovery time , one was flawless and minimal scarring. Recovery time for her was around 3 weeks.. the others were significantly more.

It ain't for everybody.. good luck with whatever you decide!

Best decision I ever made!
Recovery:
-first 3 days will suck, but you need to be up and walking around.
-after about a week you'll be able to stand fully upright.
-after 6 weeks you can lift over 10lbs
-after about 3 months I felt totally normal again.

It's been 5 years for me since I had it.
I had no drainage tubes, rather "progressive tension sutures" (think: quilting), and as a result, I never had any swelling at all. That was the nature of using that technique to promote drainage.

Feel free to PM me with questions.
I would do it again in a heartbeat.

If it were me I would have CoolSculpting done. No scars, just some bruising and quick recovery. Tons cheaper too.
