So, after 3 children and I'm in my 40's. My third child was born 11yrs ago. My body has taken a hit aesthetically. However, I have worked damn hard on using what I have and making it the best I can with fitness. My body is looking good I do admit and I've found a new hobby that I socialise too. My stomach muscles are covered in severe stretch marks above my belly button and the docs said my stomach wall had collapsed and was irreversible. But I've toned it and I now have a toned stomach. Stretch marks are still visable but improved as much as they can. I'm actually learning to embrace them and now wear clothes to show my toned stomach even if the marks are visable. It's quite empowering. BUT....one thing I can't improve are my breasts. They are literally cup size B empty sandbags. I wonder about the future as in all honesty no man will find my breasts appealing! And I don't want no fuggly LV man lol! A HV man surely wouldn't want a woman with my breasts that's for sure. My previous relationships I very rarely removed my bra. So I'm thinking plastic surgery one day. But also don't want to waste money and pain over preferred aesthetics to make me feel less subjected to the; "a woman's sexual market goes down with age".
What are your thoughts here?
Men are told their "dad bods" are sexy. And they do not give birth! Why is it then that women, who carry children to term and give birth are made to feel like their bodies aren't good enough (to men!) and need "mommy makeovers". I call BS. That being said, I have had a rhinoplasty and a breast lift with implants. Neither procedure has significantly improved my self esteem or quality of life. Recovery was horrendous even though my surgeries were successful, I am young and healthy and I only have a dog. I can't imagine going through those surgeries with several children to take care of. It sounds like you are fit and taking excellent care of yourself. I love to hear it! Recovery from surgery requires taking weeks or months off exercise, in the best case scenario. Surgeries are expensive and risky (while the risk is small, you can absolutely die under general anesthesia and leave your children without a mother). There is no guarantee you will be happy with the results. But ultimately the choice is yours. Just remember a man would be told he is aging like fine wine...
