    Don't do it. Cosmetics aside, the scarring inherent to the procedure can really screw up mammogram interpretation while screening for breast cancer.

    Me with natural breasts- Sad, no self esteem, self conscious in intimate situations.
    Me with implants- Happy, glowing with confidence, feeling sexier by the day.

    And somehow this is a BAD thing?? I'm pretty sure I 100x more attractive with confidence then I was before.

    If you have a good surgeon, scars should be pretty much invisible after a year of healing.
    If you get under the muscle implants it will not affect mammograms.

    .....Have you noticed that not one male in this thread has replied "Heck yes, by all means go and buy some double D hooters"?

    that might be because it's not our place to tell the OP or any other woman what to do, or what not to do, with their bodies. who really cares what you prefer?

    Thank you! I wonder how men would feel about a bunch of women telling them what they should and shouldn't do about the size of their junk, and whether they should be circumcised or not. :huh:

    many if not most women have opnions on corcumcistion (and for most guys, a woman's opnion was pretty damn important in them either having it done or not)

    Great. When one of us wants you to do that, we'll consult you about your breast size preferences, etc. :smokin:

    I used to spill out of a D cup - probably could have been a DD but never went to get refitted. After losing 100 pounds I am now just barely a B cup. It's sad because I still have about 30 pounds to lose.

    I hate my body. I try to like it. i do. It's carried a baby. It's carried me 26.2 miles a number of times, it's gotten me fast, it's taken me places. But I can't stand the skin on my stomach and the flat chest I now have.

    I am trying to get pregnant right now but after pregnancy and breast feeding I am fully planning on researching skin removal and an augmentation by full support of my husband. he's fine with how I am now but he doesn't like that I always turn away from him when I change or how self conscious I am. I used to be adamantly opposed to surgery but then I figured if I workd so hard to get my body somewhere and I am still going to be picking over things I can't change - i.e. boob size - then maybe it's worth exploring.

    Do what you need to do. It doesn't hurt to go throuhg a consult!

    I'm planning on going in for a consultation soon. Now that I'm 20 pounds from goal, I figure it's close enough to at least start talking about it. In fact, I may just make the call after typing this out since I've been saying all year that I'd get the consult done by the end of 2013...probably will have to wait until early 2014 though at this point. I'm pretty sure I'll need an augmentation/lift combo based on what I've researched on my own but I'm sure the doc will tell me.

    After being obese for 18 years of my 39, my skin has really paid the price. I'm mostly happy with how a lot of my skin has recovered considering the abuse I put it through but my arms, belly and breasts are in really bad shape. The thing with my belly and arms is that I think once the rest of the fat is gone, the skin will continue to retract because I still see changes every day in those areas. I'll never be a bikini model but I honestly think it'll get better. However with my breasts, they just keep getting smaller and saggier and the skin is not recovering at all. It's almost all stretch marks because that's where I gain and lose quickly and that *kitten* don't bounce back.

    Here I am justifying to all you lovely folks but ultimately I don't care what anyone else thinks. I want them done and I'm going to get them done! I'll be honest though and say initially I was hesitant because I felt like I was just getting them done for Hubs but the more time passes, the more I know I want to have them done for me. He'll be happy of course, but that's just a side bennie.

    And you know what? You gave your opinion. But once was enough. You don't need to keep coming back and telling women that have or want to get a boob job that you won't be attracted to them anymore. And you really don't need to pretend that you're speaking for all men either.

    You've said your piece. Keep it movin

    Yeah, this is the issue. Whatever a man's preference is, we just don't like it when they state in a way that implies all men feel the same way. Some men even go so far as to say that all men feel the way they do and anyone that says otherwise is lying, or that all men prefer such and such, but would settle with such and such for other reasons. Those kinds of statements are just factually wrong.

    Well, as far as this male is concerned, I've never met a pair of boobies that I didn't love. Old, young, flappy, perky, big, small...it's all secondary to the reality that they're boobies, which means they're totally awesome by definition!

    If a woman feels she needs to augment (or, for that matter, to reduce), it's fine with me. Her body, her choice.

    It's all good!

    I know I am not the only one who has experienced the loss and deflation of the breasts, especially "former" big chested women who's breasts now hang lower then the pectoral muscles. I do push-ups every day and though they are A LOT easier then when I first started and I am even able to "bounce" those muscles now (similar to how men are able to), this has done nothing for the perkiness or fullness of the breasts themselves.
    So my question is, what have you done? Have you accepted your breasts the way they are now or did you augment them in anyway?

    How is this a "General Diet and Weight Loss" topic? Because it mentions exercise in passing?
    'cmon.

    I'm a fan of small breasts, so augmentation wouldn't be a consideration for me. I would have a lift in a heartbeat, though.

    I found your points to not only be informative, but very well thought out and helpful too. Your points where also made on some of the breast augmentation forums I was lurking on earlier in the month. Thank-you.

    My friend is in the same camp as you on this one, though that lucky duck has not experienced the sagging and sudden aging that comes with pregnancy and breastfeeding. The scaring alone from the lift is enough to deter me. I have seen the before and after photos and IMO, would rather put up with the sagging, but then again it all depends on the doctor too and how you heal.

    Neither here nor there but the only "opinion on circumcision" I've ever seen from a woman was whether or not to have it done to her infant son. And the infant son had no part in the decision. Are there men who get circumcised as adults, really? That would surprise me, given how unpleasant it sounds (to men especially).

    I'd disagree that grown women don't have an opinion regarding grown men. As much so as men having an opinion about breasts.

    Hrm..i'm not an advocate for breast implants, but that's only because I don't have issues with mine. I can totally understand wanting to change them if they were making you insecure. Seriously- if you think that they are going to help your confidence in the long run, I don't see anything wrong with it. Better to be happy then unhappy.

    I kinda felt the same way about my teeth. This isn't the same thing, of course, but my top teeth were slightly misaligned. No one noticed but me. And it drove me crazy! People thought I was stupid for wanting braces and paying a crap ton of money for them. People told me I was being stupid and vain. And hey, maybe I am. But who cares? I can be that way if I want. It's your body!! I think a lot of people have given you some great advice :) If you're still unsure, do some more research. Best of luck to you!!
