Boob jobs...

I had mine taken down from a DDD to a C and I LOVE IT!!! Having bigger breasts can be a burden. It's hard to find bras and then the bras are very expensive. You can't wear button up shirts, you can barely wear strapless bras or strapless gowns. Mine used to give me headaches, backaches, neckaches, and rashes all the time. :sad:
I'm not against breast augmentation as in my field, I see them done all the time, usually on women who lost their boobs after having kids. I just say, get a REASONABLE size and not big ginormus boobs LOL. :happy:
Also w/ a lift, they will eventually sag again, whether you have kids or not, gravity takes hold what goes up, must come down after a period of time

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.
Thanks to both of you ladies!! Now let's get this thread back on track and pass some useful info, to everyone. Large, small, happy, wanting a reduction, lift, implants, whatever.0 -

No apology necessary. I get the same way when it's used in reference to people with tattoos, my family calls them trashy as well. Should have known better than to use the word.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.
I want butt implants sooo bad. I just want my jeans to stay up so I don't look like a plumber all the time. *shakes fist* D*mn you mom!
Apparently the "Butt Bible" is awesome for working out your butt.0 -
WOW.... i seriously can't even read half these posts. Its ridiculous for adults to act this way and make remarks about someone who obviously loves their body and their assets! I feel like i am in High school again reading these posts from very ignorant people who have NO idea about breast implants.
Firstly, i have implants. very large implants and i LOVE them... i am not a bimbo, i did not do it to fit into society or because of pressure.... i actually love in the mountains in the country and the only ones i see every day are the people i live with and my horses... and they love me the way i am... I did this solely for myself! I love the way implants look, i love the way they feel (which feels 100% natural by the way!!! That is the whole purpose of silicone, to act and feel just like regular breasts! They are not hard, they are not high up on my chest... though with the proper bra they can look that way! I feel sexier then i ever have... and BTW i had Natural 28DD breasts before surgery, so i do know how natural large breasts feel and look. And i don't get anymore attention then i use to get. I was confidant then and I'm confidant now.
I am Proud of my large breasts and i don't care what the few people who came to hate here have to say The majority of MEN and WOMAN LOVE FAKE BREATS!!! i find the only ones i meet in real life who do not are the ones who have A) never felt a fake breast, or
can't afford to get them done themselves so they just have to hate.
why hate on someone because they choose to have larger breasts? i don't get it.... be happy for that person, it might not be for you but that doesnt mean that the person who got them is trashy!!!! Come on people that is ridiculous to say!0 -
We are all lovely creatures at the end of the day. We are women and we still run the world at the end of the day, no matter the boob size. Now everyone put your right hand on your left shoulder, and your left hand on your right shoulder, and give yourself a big hug :flowerforyou:0

the one big thing i want to reiterate to ALL, breast implants do not weigh like breast tissue, they put no extra strain on your back, unless you go all Lolo ferrari.
the tattoo thing - im a sleeved corp sales woman. i hear THAT.0 -

I've tried everything for my lack of a**. It sucks. lol If I had a decent a** to tit ratio I'd be happy. I don't want to look like a Kardashian, I just want a little something to hold the jeans up. lol0 -

A friend of mine had a reduction before children and is facing another one. Just like I said about my implants, she said it was the best thing she has done for herself. She had it done before children knowing she may have to have it done again, still no regrets. She had a difficult recovery, but is very happy.
With any breast surgery, lift, reduction, augmentation, gravity will take it's toll on your breasts. That is the same with small ones. I know that one day my augmented breasts will start to sag (and start to look more natural), so I will invest in good bras to do my best to keep them looking good. All women should have comfortable well fitted bras!!0 -

But what you are failing to understand is that these reasons are not "purely aesthetic." Try finding bras that fit breasts that used to be an E cup but are now a C, support those correctly and run a marathon. Now find clothes that make you feel confident and beautiful, comfortable instead of constantly worrying if your squishy tit is hanging out of your ill-fitting bra because you can't get one that fits correctly because you committed your life to being healthy with a low body fat %. Try being comfortable without a bra, laze around the house in a t-shirt and feel the weight of deflated breasts against your skin. Now stand in front of the mirror naked and say to yourself "do i look like the person I feel like inside and do I feel as good about myself as I deserve to feel?" We want to be strong, powerful, and yes, beautiful. But we are women and that should not be a bad thing. I would never have my hair like yours, the upkeep must be a real *****. But I think your hair is beautiful and I appreciate you for having it.0 -
Heck, I don't need one. Born blessed, will keep it that way.

I have a very close friend that went from 240lbs to 140lbs starting with DD breasts. well, by the time she was done... it was like 2 tube socks you have been wearing all day and just took off attached to her rib cage, 2 very long loose fold of flat skin,
She would literally roll them up almost and put them into her push up bra, or into her underwire bikini top hoping the whole time that the breasts didn't slip out from under the underwire. I used to help her keep an eye on it while we were at the beach because she wouldn't even notice them slipping down and out.
Anyway, she finally had a boob job done and she is thrilled, she went with the tear drop style of breast instead of the round circle ball type, they look so natural it's incredible.
When I am done my weight loss journey I am sure I will have probably the same thing she did, mine are already losing inches and very floppy.... if I do get that bad, I will get it done, I didn't work that hard to lose the weight to not be proud in a bikini !!
Reading this post I couldn't help to think it was about me. I HAD 46DDD and lost over 100lbs and went from 46DDD to a 42 DDD! So my body got small and my boobs stayed huge. i was so mad. My back hurt all the time, I couldn't exercise. I was your classic case that need a reduction. So in September 2011 I had breast reduction. Due to all the back and spasm I had and feeling like **** all the time I finally had them reduced. I am now a 36 C and loving my new beautiful breast! My husband who is a boob man thought the doctors were going to hack me and he was worried but now he is happy man again and loving them so much he won't leave me alone. He has always liked them even big but he said this size is much nicer and my attitude on life has changed from grumpy and in pain to happy. I actually do have pictures but I know I cant post them. My gf got implants and her look beautiful too and i say you do whatever makes you happy. You are here for yourself and you have to live with yourself so fake or not, natural or not, reduced or lifted, enhanced it is your business and your life!

Love mine! I lost over 120lbs (gastric bypass) about 14 yrs ago and then breastfed 2 babies - they just weren't where they are supposed to be after all that. I didn't care about looking like Pamela Anderson, by any means. I just wanted to be proportionate and and feel sexy again. If you do it, just be sure to go to a surgeon who's willing to send you home with a pain pump.....recovery was a breeze!0

It probably will! My family tends to go bald early on in life. But right now your comparison of my hair is more similar to someone who puts lotion on their skin to keep it moisturized than a surgical procedure.
Your comments are really amusing in general to me though because I've had my hair made fun of almost my entire life. I straightened it for that picture because it was an event, but it's normally pretty wavy and slightly frizzy. I don't wear make-up or mess with my hair beyond washing/conditioning on the daily. I do get what you're trying to say though, and thank you for the compliment.0 -
I always had small breasts. I liked them, they went well with my sporty frame. DH loves butts, and I have that. So, no reason to mess with my boobs. Tiny boobs are very sexy!
Then had my first child, went up to a DD!! Breastfed him and I thought that I was going to keep those breasts. Weaned him at 14 months and what I was left with was awful!!! Every other part of my body bounced back, but not the breasts. I did not do anything about it because we wanted more kids.
Well, 17 years later and 5 more kids (I have 6 kids and breastfed all of them for 14 months -2.5 years) I decided to get them fixed. I am done having kids, just weaned my last child, and so I decided to fix my breasts. Now DH didn't care what I did since he is a butt man, but he said that after nursing 6 kids, I deserved fixing my breasts if I wanted to do that.
Now, I will never have my cute pre-baby breasts..even a lift would not give them that same cuteness that I had before. So, I decided to go with the size that I was while nursing. They fit my body well and I liked them.
So, that is what I got. I did not do this for my husband, for society, because I had low self-esteem (I do not at all), or to be hot for others...I did it because I got tired of seeing post-baby boobs!!! I have not had any other surgery because I am trying to get all of that back in shape, but no matter how many pushups I did...those pre-baby boobs were never coming back!! haha!0 -
Whatever makes you happy!
I am small, too (34B, and sometimes, when new bra shopping, a 34B will be too roomy in the cup).
My mother and younger sister both have breast implants. I wanted to get implants soooooo bad in my late teens and early 20s. But, I have to say, I grew out of it, and don't want them anymore. I love and appreciate my boobies! Natural is beautiful.
But still, whatever makes you happy. 18 is young to make that decision, and I say that only because I know first hand that your feelings about your breasts can change with age. But if you really want it, and have the financial means for it (and for the love of God doyour research and go to a good, board certified plastic surgeon), then more power to ya!0 -
OK I have to comment on the article about men being able to tell if they are real or fake...
http://www.askmen.com/money/how_to_200/246_how_to.html
Much of that article is not necessarily accurate. During the first few months ,they are very high and very firm (swollen) and don't have much give to them. Actually a bit freakish looking, if you ask me. But if surgery is done properly and the surgeon doesn't over-stuff the amount of skin that's there, and if the proper aftercare (massaging) is done, they will not stay extremely high up or so firm that you can bounce quarters off of them. Mine as soft as they every were before and definately do jiggle. I think much has to do with what the woman is looking for. There are some who WANT to have that sensuous Pam Anderson look. Then there are others who prefer to look completely natural. From what I understand - that firm, high up look is due to surgeons agreeing to put in implants that are larger than the recommended size.0 -
I want butt implants sooo bad. I just want my jeans to stay up so I don't look like a plumber all the time. *shakes fist* D*mn you mom!

Alright, I'm actually going to be serious for a minute. I had a Cosmetology teacher who I am still friends with to this day. When she was 26 she had a hysterectomy due to cancer. At 37 she was diagnosed with breast cancer that was caused by the uterine cancer. She had to have both breasts removed. Months before surgery she told me, "Will I still be considered a woman after this." She talked to her doctor and was able to get the mastectomy and then get an augmentation. Thankfully insurance covered the augmentation. She went through chemo for two years after that to make sure everything was gone. She had no hair for 4 years. Is that superficial to you?

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.
But what you are failing to understand is that these reasons are not "purely aesthetic." Try finding bras that fit breasts that used to be an E cup but are now a C, support those correctly and run a marathon. Now find clothes that make you feel confident and beautiful, comfortable instead of constantly worrying if your squishy tit is hanging out of your ill-fitting bra because you can't get one that fits correctly because you committed your life to being healthy with a low body fat %. Try being comfortable without a bra, laze around the house in a t-shirt and feel the weight of deflated breasts against your skin. Now stand in front of the mirror naked and say to yourself "do i look like the person I feel like inside and do I feel as good about myself as I deserve to feel?" We want to be strong, powerful, and yes, beautiful. But we are women and that should not be a bad thing. I would never have my hair like yours, the upkeep must be a real *****. But I think your hair is beautiful and I appreciate you for having it.
*shrug* But my hair is real. I wouldn't get fake hair if I couldn't have it be this long naturally.
My darling, let it all fall out and see if you change your tune. Then you'd be fit to pass judgment on the subject. Of hair anyway.
It probably will! My family tends to go bald early on in life. But right now your comparison of my hair is more similar to someone who puts lotion on their skin to keep it moisturized than a surgical procedure.
Your comments are really amusing in general to me though because I've had my hair made fun of almost my entire life. I straightened it for that picture because it was an event, but it's normally pretty wavy and slightly frizzy. I don't wear make-up or mess with my hair beyond washing/conditioning on the daily. I do get what you're trying to say though, and thank you for the compliment.
Alright, I'm actually going to be serious for a minute. I had a Cosmetology teacher who I am still friends with to this day. When she was 26 she had a hysterectomy due to cancer. At 37 she was diagnosed with breast cancer that was caused by the uterine cancer. She had to have both breasts removed. Months before surgery she told me, "Will I still be considered a woman after this." She talked to her doctor and was able to get the mastectomy and then get an augmentation. Thankfully insurance covered the augmentation. She went through chemo for two years after that to make sure everything was gone. She had no hair for 4 years. Is that superficial to you? If it is..... you're a horrible person.
From the very first post I made on this thread...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.
I have been really respectful in my posts here, IMO, and now that I feel a bit attacked, I am going to bow out. Good day to everyone.0 -
Most of the time you can tell when someone has them. They sort of scream, "boob job!" when they walk towards you. My husband seems to think that it also shows a lack of self esteem but that's his opinion. I have natural D cups and I sometimes wish I was less curvy and more stick-like and comfortable. I hate how they announce your arrival in certain tops and dresses. I sound ungrateful but I'm not. I guess people just want what they don't have sometimes!0

wow, this thread gave me a headache...to each their own, be happy 0

Of course if its needed for reconstruction surgery. There's no argument there.0

Huh. Mine are natural. And a couple of them apply to me. I also knew a girl growing up that had disgustingly (Yes, I'm jealous) large perky breasts that were natural.http://www.askmen.com/money/how_to_200/246_how_to.html
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.0
