Boob jobs...

I hope you would not be offended by me stating that your breast augmentation is obvious, at least to me, but I'm a nursing student. I would never comment, let alone insult, a woman for having them done, but I think it's important to realize that if the end goal is to have natural looking breasts, it is a rarity for that to happen. They almost always end up looking too round, too hard, and too high on the chest.
What makes you think that I wanted to have a super natural look? It doesn't offend me when you say mine augmentation is obvious, part of that is because they are still healing and new. Once I have fully healed they will look very different. But even then I did not have to goal of a super natural look. And I got what I wanted.
There are many different looks, and a good doctor can help you get the look that you want. If you want super natural it can be done. If you want fake, it can be done. They do not almost always look round, hard, and fake. It is a person choice.
Interesting... My mom's had hers for probably about 15 years and hers still look hard and unnatural.
newsflash, medicine has advanced in the last 15 years.
i am overwhelmed by the veiled b1tchyness of SOOOO many women on this site.
it is truly pathetic and perfectly demonstrates the reason why i rarely interact with women who arent professional, highly driven and articulate.
they are never b1tches.
Cool, apparently having differing opinions is being a b*tch. All the best to you then.0 -
Umm so what about naturally big boobed women? Are we just out then? I like how everyone thinks small boobs are elegant and desirable while big boob are trashy and ugly. I happen to have naturally big boobs, so in order for me to be more desirable I should get them reduced??
Not at all, I really hope you didn't misread my previous post as I think I'm the only one who said, "trashy." Natural boobs, no matter what the size are beautiful. Fake boobs, like I said, "in my 'humble' opinion" are trashy, mainly when you have the super skinny girls with these balls just sitting on their chest. My opinion greatly differs when the operation was done due to surviving breast cancer or the like.
your opinion, is a ****ty opinion.
they arent fake, theyre as real as anyones. you can touch them therefore theyre real.
That's real mature. No, they are not "real." They did not come from your body, they are not made of muscle or breast tissue. They are bags filled with silicone or salt water.
your entire demeanour on this subject implies boob envy.
just sayin.
I've got a great 34C rack. No boob envy here.
so why label all women who arent breast cancer survivors who have had surgery trashy?!
Please read all of what I said. I said, "MAINLY" the super skinny girls with these balls on their chest. That is trashy, granted your's do not look trashy as they fit your body, and I'm sure you don't care about my opinion but still I'm against boob jobs
being against something for no apparent reason is ignorant. Whether you want to admit that to yourself or not, frankly even if i were super skinny, which i dont think i will ever be, why should that alter how you percieve me as a person?
im not trashy because i choose to enhance my body. no-one is.
and in answer to the tattoo comparison, i feel exactly the same way, i have plenty of ink, and i think people who judge me based on that artwork upon MY body are foolish ignorant A-holes.
I'm against breast enhancements (except for the medical reasons) because it's superficial. You're feeding into what society and the media has told you you should look like - whether you want to admit that to yourself or not. I feel you should be happy in the body that you have, everyone's bodies are beautiful and shouldn't be altered because of society.
You think that trying to weigh 104 lbs isn't superficial but feeling beautiful in your own skin is?0 -
I was small breasted until my first pregnancy...I went from a small B to and F!!!! Insane! Once I was done nursing I was down to a c/d then got pregnant again and had giant F boobs.
I learned my lesson, be careful what you wish for :-)
I couldn't button any shirts, I got a lot of unwanted attention, running was a joke, sleeping without a bra impossible. etc!
As I am loosing weight and no longer nursing (for the past 2 years) my boobs are downsizing. I am hoping for a B once again!!
However - I totally get that you may want to reduce, lift, tuck, fill out your top etc! Just don't go overboard as you may regret it!0 -
It irks me to my very core just how judgmental, opaque and narrow-minded and just plain ignorant some women can be towards women who have breast implants. I understand there is a stigma towards breast implants and some may believe every woman who has them might look and act like Pamela Anderson but on the contrary most of us are educated and exceedingly intelligent women who are wives and mothers. Not all women with implants are porn stars or bimbos! Most women with these heinous allegations are naturally big breasts and pass judgment on women who want to change their appearance. To my knowledge 60% of women who choose to get implants do it for deformities and I fall into the 40% of women who get it purely for cosmetic reasons. But you know what? I may have gotten my augmentation for cosmetic reasons but my breasts had always been naturally small, after having my son and trying to do what was right for his health by breastfeeding him, I lost all the volume in my breasts. I was less than an A cup before getting my breast augmentation. I understand that I could have lived with breasts that were smaller than my ten-year old niece’s, but I wanted to feel like a woman. Yes its social pressure and society’s idea that women should have the curvaceous figure, but it’s also a woman’s choice to change things she is unhappy with. Does it make me any less than a woman without implants? No. I really hope that one day the stigma associated with implants will cease and people can make a conscious effort to not be so judgmental.
Get response! I hope you show lots of people how well-adjusted you are...0 -

For those who are curious about how to differentiate real from fake.
@Tiny - while I think the term "trashy balls" is insulting and unnecessary, I was stating that you do have obviously round breasts that are unnatural looking. I assumed you posted the picture to prove that they did not look too round or unnatural, my apologies.
The trashy balls came from a previous poster who stated large augmented breasts look trashy. I posted the picture to show a different look then the other picture that had been posted. No apologies necessary!! It's all good.
Sometimes things don't come across as well on the internet as they do in spoken word. 0 -
When I reach my goal weight (which is a long way away), I will be getting a lift. That is my reward to myself.
Me too...I'm saving now. I'm not to far from my goal weight, but I'm far from saving 5k. My hubs says he'll match me dollar for dollar..but he also said that about pounds I've lost and he hasn't lost a lb
I have a lot of saving to do 0 -

If she has had them for 15 years, that is a big reason. There are much newer options out now that won't look like that. Back then women only had one option for implants. Now you have a choice between round and anatomical, saline or silicone, plus different diameters and projections. If your mom had her's done today they could look completely different. A lot depends on the surgeon's technique and training, which has also come a long way from where it was when your mother had hers done. If you'd like some more information there is plenty out there, I can provide you with a few websites that have educational resources about today's augmentation.
Thank you for your intelligent response (seriously no sarcasm in that.) I'm good without the research though. But damn, they must have hurt.0 -
You may not always be able to tell if a boob job is fake by looking at it, but you can definitely tell by how they feel. And I would argue against that, as I can always tell if it's fake/natural by how round the breast is - natural boobs will not have the shelving effect when they are pushed up - they look squishy instead of hard. Natural breasts *should* spill over to the side when you lay down on your back and *should* be more conical when you're bending over. This obsession with having a very perky round boob is something that's been pushed by the media - it's not something that many women have naturally as they age.
I've gone back and forth between whether or not I think they're ok. Personally, I think plastic surgery in general (aside from reconstructive for those who are burn victims, breast cancer, etc to restore what was there before) just feeds into the superficiality of our society. Someone stated that if every woman got a boob job, nobody would be able to tell. Well, I argue that if plastic surgery was only reserved for those times when it was really needed, women (and men) would not feel the pressure to live up to a standard that includes placing fake materials in your body, going under general anesthesia, and risking your life for the sake of physical appearance.
That being said, I know several friends that have had them done, and they were happy with their results. But it did not solve their insecurities with their body, nor did it suddenly make their lives better. It's not a quick fix for your self-esteem at all.
You are more than your boobs. Period.
Totally not true. My natural breasts had an amazing shelf look. How could you possibly profess to know the intricacies of every breast of every woman? It is all about your natural upper pole shape and the amount of fat or breast tissue you have under it. Your comments are completely self centered and superficial and show no real grasp or understanding of why women have these surgeries.
I'm self-centered and superficial because I think women should place more importance on their personality than their appearance? Because I believe that this idea of living up to the standard of perfection portrayed in the media is damaging for many women, especially when they go into the surgery thinking everything will be fixed afterward?

as far as I can see your the one being rude to people that simply disagree with YOUR opinion. Lets not forget, the OP asked for opinions, with that come the good, bad and evidently ugly.0 -
i'm so getting one when i reach my goal. Also going for the tummy tuck too. Even Kim K won't be able to touch me.0
-
maybe someone mentioned this, but after i had my son, my boobs stayed bigger! Not as big as they were during the pregnancy and breastfeeding, but still enough of a difference that I had to get new bras! So maybe wait til after you have kids and see if you still will want a boob job! 0

I too have naturally large breasts regardless of my weight! I am 5'2 as well and just like the other poster even when I was 113 mine were still 34F! Seems like her and I have ALOT of the same things going on! I agree with her 100% and PLEASE consider all aspects of having large breasts! My back aches 24/7 and sleeping on my tummy is FAR from comfortable! I would NEVER get mine reduced either, as I believe natural is beautiful, but just be cautious before doing anything to your body!This is what I have to say about large breasts--
My breast size has nothing to do with me being 40 lbs overweight. I am 5'2", and even when I weighed 110, I still had 38F breasts (and they are *really* noticeable when you're that thin). I know that some women's breasts get smaller when they lose weight, but that is unfortunately not going to be me. (It's genetic, I come from a long line of large-breasted women).
Having had large breasts all my life, I will say this to women who are considering them--
Think long and hard about getting ones that are appropriate for your body size/frame. Mine give me unbelievable backaches most of the time. Also, when they're big, they actually can get in the way when you're trying to sleep. Hugging can be awkward sometimes because some people just don't know what to do about them and they're embarrassed. Finding clothes can be a real pain in the butt, because XL doesn't necessarily mean for bigger breasts, what it most often means is for a taller woman. Oh, and larger size bras are uber expensive. If you want nice ones that offer support and attractiveness, good luck finding anything of quality under $50.
These are just a few of the drawbacks to having large breasts. I also suggest watching a really great documentary-- "My Big Breasts and Me." You can find it at http://topdocumentaryfilms.com/my-big-breasts-and-me/
Of course, in spite of all these drawbacks, I would never get a reduction. It is just something you learn to live with. I just thought I would offer some things to consider that people don't usually think about when they consider breast enlargement.
Good luck!0 -
currently looking for someone to purchase mine please
myfreeimplants.com 4 of my friends had their boobs bought for them on this site. lol
haha really. Someone would pay for another persons BA just for a little bit of conversation. Unbelievable.
Seriously, you make a page and it's a dollar for men to send you a message and they can donate to your sweater kittens. There will be pervs who want you to do nasty stuff, but they all found super sweet guys who donated to it. One of my girlfriends and her husband are actually really good friends with one of the guys who donated.
hmm maybe I should start up a page just in case I need a BA in the future. My boobs are big right now, but I don't believe I'm a naturally big boobed woman, and I know I will deal with deflation as soon as I reach my goal lol. Just in case, just in case.0 -

I think my boobs are a part of my personality. :happy: I like to jiggle them around.0 -
I have had 2 so far, I would not do it for size, I did it because after having my 1st baby they were saggy.0

If someone handed me the money right now and I could...I wouldn't. I'm happy with what I got even if it ain't all that much. IMO they're not broke, so no need to fix 'em! :drinker:
Don't fix anything, you are perfect the way you are!0 -

I think maybe there is a little bit lost in translation here. The OP asked for opinions, and should get them. I think maybe we all need to reread before we post to make sure what we are saying does not come across wrong or offensive. We are from all over the world with different ways of communicating. How about we make sure to not target others or use words that others may find offensive? Then those looking for thoughts and opinions can have some polite and useful posts instead of our arguments.0

The whole thing is so idiotic that it defies belief. As a society, we put women who look like Christina Hendricks up on a pedestal because of her shapely, womanly breasts and then turn around and criticize women with implants who never developed breasts or mothers who have GIVEN THEIR BODIES to their children or women with deformities. Then this same society talks out of both sides of their mouth and calls women who look like Christina Hendricks “fat” and glorifies thin women with implants as “ideal” and subsequently plasters them all over the pages of your print media. Then we see pictures of ultra-thin models who look like 12 year old boys, we flock to diet sites. You are arguing about superficialities on a DIET SITE. It’s absurd! What is superficial is to think that you have the depth of understanding of every woman, her history and her life and that you fully grasp her reasons for doing this or ANYTHING.
What it boils down to is that we, as women, are expected to walk around polite society with our collars buttoned to our ears and our breasts modestly concealed in tasteful clothing, only to rip them off later to reveal some huge heaving sexy scantily clad lingerie encased set of double D’s for our partners to ravage at their leisure. And it’s not the MEN holding us to this standard! It’s other WOMEN! It’s our MOTHERS, our FRIENDS, our COWORKERS, people like YOU who hastily cast judgment on others without fully understanding their choices and our casual tacit approval of these behaviors of the people around us.
Too many of us partake in childlike competition. We are catty and judgmental and disrespectful of the bodies and choices of other women when it comes to their bodies. We do not support one another often enough in bettering our bodies by the means we feel most comfortable with, to give ourselves a HEALTHY and APPRECIATIVE perspective about ourselves, for ourselves. At the end of the day, it is no one’s business but my own if I rip my shirt open to reveal a chest full of sexy silicone or a chest full or curly hair or a chest full of stretchmarks and skin or a chest full of baby spit up and cracker bits and stuffed animals.
I HAD Christina Hendricks breasts from the age of 14 on and people judged me heartily for those and after completely ruining them by breastfeeding and running, I had them lifted and reshaped with implants into smaller, perkier models that better fit my lifestyle. Why would that be anyone’s business but my own? At the end of the day, the most important thing for me is that I feel beautiful and confident in my own skin. It makes me a better person and a better woman. I don’t have to justify all of the reasons that I got them done, but I will say this: don’t knock it till you try it.0 -
I think maybe there is a little bit lost in translation here. The OP asked for opinions, and should get them. I think maybe we all need to reread before we post to make sure what we are saying does not come across wrong or offensive. We are from all over the world with different ways of communicating. How about we make sure to not target others or use words that others may find offensive? Then those looking for thoughts and opinions can have some polite and useful posts instead of our arguments.
This, I'll take back my "trashy" comment. It was rude, and shouldn't have been said.
thankyou.
and once again i didnt direct my comment about b1tches at you.
apologies if i got heated about the trashy thing.0 -
I guess, if I'm being honest, my stigma comes in with the fact that every person that gets implants (or any cosmetic surgery) for purely aesthetic reasons feeds into the idea that in order to be happy with your physical appearance, you have to go beyond simply eating right and working out and taking care of your mental wellness. That bothers me on some level and that may be "judgmental" to some of you, but it is a growing trend and it worries me about how far it will go. In another 20 years, will butt implants be as common as breast augmentation? Will 20 years old start getting botox? Will our standard of beauty be so far from the natural that the stigma reverses and those who do not elect for cosmetic procedures are the ones who are judged? It's interesting to think about.
No one has a right to insult or demean another person for their personal choices. I agree with everyone there, and I think it is petty to drop to that level. But I do think that there is some merit to what I am saying here.0 -
