Boob Jobs-

Personally- the shape of my girls w/out a bra is not so great... after I have my babies I want to get mine perked up and looking nice... talking to a doctor would give you a better idea of what you'd like (or if you'd like it).. under vs. over the muscle, incision points, etc...
My only suggestion is not to go to big... women who make huge jumps in cup size have a lot of issue with the weigh pulling their shoulders forward and messing up their posture... personally I think it makes women look really nasty and unhealthy.0 -
I say go for it if you have the money. Personally, I would love to have a boob job. Not exactly to make them bigger but maybe perkier and to be honest after loosing 70 lbs they no longer have that awesomeness. You can still breastfeed with them as long as you get them under the muscle. I have a friend who got them done years ago and I am very jealous. Even if you are the only one that sees them, if it enhances your confidence, go for it!!0

Hi hun, to be honest I wouldn't really worry about what everyone else thinks. If you get it done it has to be for you and only you, regardless of everyone else. I, like you, also considered it for a very long time and after 9 years of consideration I finally got it done in January this year. I can 100% hand on heart say that its done wonders for me. It's boosted my self confidence and has balanced out my figure nicely.
Facts/Info (from my experience):
- Pain....Yep, it hurts and you will need someone to help you get dressed/flush the loo for you, make you food etc. for a few days. However, it was not as painful as I imagined and my surgeon gave me strong enough painkillers
- Feel and look...Honestly, mine look and feel really real, even when I lie on my back. I did not have massive implants and had the implants placed under the muscle. For the first 4 months they felt firm and looked fake, kinda stuck on, but now, they are totally different, soft and awesome.
- Scarring - Yes but only little
- What guys think....my boyfriend thinks they are great and he says they don't feel weird at all. And like someone on here said, boobs are boobs, fake or real.
- Re-ops....some people have to have them, some people don't. Re-ops can be due to complications, wanting to go larger, wanting newer safer implants etc. etc.
- Leakages....with silicon 'gummibear' style implants leakages is not possible, with other implants, yes.
- Loss of feeling...for a while I was numb from the nipple to the crease but now I have all feeling back.
- Risks....of course, no surgery is without risk
- Surgeons....just do your research carefully
Hope this helps a little, I tried to be as non-biased as possible. Feel free to message me any time if you have any questions about it 0 -
You can even breast feed with them above the muscle as long as the implant is put in via the breast crease and not the areola 0

I wouldnt get them for the simple fact that i already have huge natural boobs that i pretty much dont like
Back pains
Unwanted attention
Hard time finding clothes that fit, specially bikini tops. (i have to fix my clothes)
But if you wanna get them go ahead! just not so big, not worth it at all.0 -
I'd like a lift but wouldn't want implants.0

Subbed for photos. PM's welcomed.0

Best decision I ever made for myself. So happy with the results; so happy with my physical appearance overall. I don't know how to post pics or else I'd post some before/after pictures.
Stats: 5'9" approx. 145 lbs (give or take a few pounds)
Before surgery: 34AA
After surgery: 34DD
425 cc's round, high profile silicone gel implants
Good luck!!!0 -
My boobs are just like yours, I think they look fine. My husband likes them. I fit my shirts fine. It's easy to run and they don't bounce around so it's all good.0

I recently heard in a class that a boob job makes your breasts less sensitive so any possible pleasure YOU get from them goes away and the only person getting pleasure from them anymore is your partner...however, I'm really not sure how true that is.
Maybe some people but it didn't happen to me and I had extensive work done (a lift along with implants).
Not true for me either. All surgery has risks but the risks for breast augmentation are relatively low. There are over 300,000 breast augmentations done each year in the United States, the #1 cosmetic procedure. Talk to reliable cosmetic surgeon about the pros/cons.0 -
your choice, but just freaks me out -- the thought of something that is not ME trapped in my body and I can't get it out.0

Since I have lost weight I went from a c to about an a. Maybe a b! I totally would get a nice set of ta tas if I had the money to do so.0

You'll get the attention from the guys who only date girls for their boob size, leaving behind all the guys who can look past the boobs and at other beauty characteristics or personality traits.
So you're telling me that since my boobs are naturally big, I'll never get a man who can look at my other "beauty characteristics or personality traits"? :noway:0 -

Yup. That's exactly what she said.
So since your life is damned..... how you do'n

Eh, not worth it. Boobs are boobs. Little ones are cute and go well with nice fit bodies. Push-up bras are cheap.
^^ This is a wise woman....boobs - we like them all.
I understand what u r saying about little boobs being cute with fit bodies. How about absolutely non-existent boobs with nothing to push-up. That was me before boob job. I knew I had done the right thing for me when I felt confident enough to wear a tank top (with a regular non padded bra). I was walking through a parking lot and 2 guys nearly got whiplash when I walked by them. Nothing like that had ever happened to me. Maybe it's wrong for me to feel this way, but I liked it. I felt sexy for the first time. And after having 2 kids I needed that. Having kids made my 'boobs' go from very tiny to completely flat chested.0 -
When I am done loosing I want to get a lift and evened out. I have lost so much weight in my right boob I just look silly. But I will stay at least my same size, not go bigger.0

If you have to ask a bunch of total strangers if you should do it or not, then you are not 100% committed to it, so, no. Please do NOT make a permanent(well, they can be taken out, but...)surgical change for your body.
If I were to do it, I'd do it while I was young and had no husband/kids that I'd be leaving behind if the worst happened to me. Then again, a lot of women GET boobs when they have children(I'm one of them), so....0 -
I really am shocked and appalled by the responses. As a woman who also wanted a boob job by the time I was 13 and was teased daily for my "valleys" (yes, they said I didn't even have plains), I did not feel sexy or confident with my natural chest. So to all of you that say she is beautiful and fine just the way she is, you are right, but you also don't know how it feels to be insecure about a flat chest and want to do something about it. I got my boob job when I was 20, and it was the best decision I have ever made.
There are lots of things to consider, but if it is something that boers you this much then I know you'll be happy with implants.
To address a few of the reasons I can recall that people have posted for not to get a boob job:
-They feel or look bad: if you are saying this have you actually felt them or looked at them naked?? Mine feel amazingly soft, they bounce and jiggle & all the fabulous things boobs should do if you aren't flat chested. And they look beyond amazing. Shape of fake boobs is pretty much like shape of natural boobs just bigger, so for those of you who say they look bad, well they looked bad to start with. Mine were round and even to start with, and now they're perky, round, full and perfect.
-surgery: yes it will be a risk and financial cost, and you will have to decide for yourself if that is worth it to you. I've never had any sickness, hospitalization, etc other than my augmentation surgery but I did perfectly fine in surgery and the recovery is hard the first few days, but its definitely not that bad. I will strongly suggest that you do a lot of research if/when you decide to pursue surgery. Find a surgeon who has done other people with great results, have consultations with as many of them as you like, be sure they are board certified, and ask how many augmentations they have performed, what their rate of infection or complications are. I had NO trouble with my surgery at all.
-Guys will only look at you for your boobs: lol, really?? Well yes, if you get huge ones then they will look, but so what. I've never had a guy date me for my boobs, it's pretty easy to see through people like that. And maybe she wants a little positive attention given to the tatas!
I can't even remember all the silly things people have been saying. Oh yeah, real men don't want fake boobs. Seriously?? That one makes me laugh. I would think a real man would support a woman's choice to feel sexy and confident. If that takes a boob job then so be it. I got my boobs for me and it helped me be the confident, take no bs woman I am today, I'm not afraid to tell anyone they're fake and no one gets to tease me or make me feel like less of a woman for having a flat chest. So all of you who haven't been made to feel that way should think about it before you judge someone for trying to improve their body image. That's what we're doing on here right???? Trying to get fit and look great to feel better about our bodies, and perhaps find some support and encouragement along the way!?!
The last entertaining one I can recall was fake boobs = high maintenance. Well I guess if you want to judge someone off of one thing, then go ahead and call me high maintenance. But I consider myself strong and willing to take action to improve myself with regard to an aspect of my body that made me insecure and unhappy. So is fixing my hair, wearing make up, picking out nice clothes to look and feel good a bad thing??? Is all that high maintenance?? If so, then I'm wayyyyyyy high maintenance because I do all of that and I'm proud of it. I want to look good because it makes me feel good. It's like putting on that awesome pair of jeans or cute pumps and you feel an extra bounce in your step because you feel like you rock today! What is so wrong with that????
I've gotten way off track. The point is, if this is important to you then look into it and decide for yourself if its worth it. It was beyond worth it to me and I can actually speak from experience and not judgement or assumptions.0 -
All this talk about getting a boob job "for yourself" is ridiculous.
I've been musing on this post for a few days now and I finally wanted to address it.
Why is it so ridiculous for a woman to want breast implants? Regardless of if we do it to be 'attractive to ourselves' or not, it's a personal choice. Personally, my breasts have changed so much over the years, they don't even feel like my own anymore. And my husband supports me in the changes I want to make with my weightloss, so why wouldn't he want to support me with changes I want to make via surgery?
Clothing fit has everything to do with confidence and it's not just about the SIZE of the breasts, but how perky they are or how they hang. If you have to look in the mirror and see something you hate about your body on a daily basis knowing that there are options out there to change it, why wouldn't you?
I appreciate saying 'love yourself' etc etc, but unless you have breasts and know how they affect your opinion of yourself, I think you should avoid saying it's 'ridiculous' to want implants.
</soapbox>0 -
OP-here...
I just wanted to say thank you so much to EVERYONE who shared their opinion. The good, the bad, the boobs are boobs, etc.
I've definitely got a lot to think about and i'm happy that I could rely on the awesome members of MFP to give me an honest opinion!
I dont know if i'll do it, if I want to do it, If it's worth it to me... But that's something I'll have to decide for myself. If i were i would probably get a B at the very largest a C. I don't want to be "tits on a stick" or even be more "generically attractive" to the opposite sex. I simply want to be more proportional, not get told by my doctor "well... you have underdeveloped breasts, don't you?", not be able to wear MANY clothing, not be able to wear ANYTHING i feel is sexy (hey, even PINK doesn't carry my size!), and all in all I am tired of this social stigma that I am somehow less of a women because I have small breasts.
Again, I don't know if i'll do it. I dont know if it's worth it. But nothing is more frusterating that the feeling of "If I work hard enough I can change!" when it comes to your body. No amount of lifting, small caloric deficit, healthy lifestyle is going to change that. ever.
we'll see, we'll see.
LOVE YOU GUYS!

There is a disappointing lack of pictures in this thread0

I looked through a few pages and didn't see any pics....dangit
edit: I see I'm not the only one lol0 -
Hard to make a fair assessment without pics....0

After I'm done having children, I'm probably going to get a slight breast reduction down to a C cup and a lift done. I have always had naturally large perky boobs, and while they look good most of the time, they can cause a lot of discomfort for working out, and I have trouble fitting into shirts. With the pregnancy, they are enormous now, and I know they are going to look like big deflated balloons after the babies are done with them.0
-
I did it. I love it.
You look to have a very small frame. You could do it, but you wouldn't want to go very big or they would look fake, and that's all people would notice about you - not your nice figure that you work hard to maintain...or your brain.0 -
Whatever you do, make sure that they are still proportional. You don't want to be doomed to a life where every shirt or dress you try to wear is either too tight across your chest or too big everywhere else.0

no matter the doctor;
they will look fake for at least a year
they will always feel fake.
it will hurt A LOT ALOT
Do you know this from experience?
Mine only hurt a lot for the first 2 days. By day 5, not really much at all.
Oh, and mine looked completely real within @ 3 weeks, and besides the scars (which are healing nicely), no one would ever know I got them done unless I told them. The trick is to go with a modest size for your shape, and a really good doctor.
You also can't feel my implants unless you take your fingertips and shove them up under where my breasts meet my body, and who does that?0 -
My wife was a large "B" before kids and ended up a small "A" after kids. To be clear I was fine with the way she was and I didn't want her to get them but after seeing how happy/confident/less whiney she was afterwards with clothing etc. I'm glad she did and they are admittedly fun for both of us. She got small "C" that looks well proportioned for her size. So now I'm for them if they make you feel better about yourself. Against them if you just want attention lol0
-
My fiance brought up the question to me the other day as to whether she should consider implants.
I simply told her "No" since I am happy with what nature gave her and it's not like she's flat to begin with.
I think the only time that I've really supported the idea of a boob job is on one of my close friends (ex gf) who had a double mastectomy. In her case, it made sense and she's a happy survivor.0
