is getting implants worth it?

Not if you're only doing it for male attention, no.
i'm not really sure what other reasons people would get breast implants other than to impress other people including men. if they were the only person in the world, they wouldn't do it therefore doing it "for yourself" just doesn't seem like a real reason.0 -
Mine have always been bigger in comparison to the rest of my body so it's something I've never considered but if I was in your position and it would help my confidence then I definitely would.0

What kind of men are you trying to attract?
I've had large breasts my whole life, regardless of weight, and I can't tell you how much of a pain in the *kitten* large breasts can be.0 -
As someone with 34DD boobs, I say no. They hurt, they pull, they're in the way, most dresses dont fit me up there, and when I wear my work uniform, it looks really... how can I say this nicely... Out there.....
I dont like them, but I guess its up to you0 -
The guys that want you to gain weight back to have bigger boobs are not worth having. I am small breasted but I am happy the way I am; I would look stupid with big boobs...I would not be proportioned correctly. My husband loves me the way I am. If you are looking for a guy that likes you for big boobs...he's shallow and again...not worth it.
My sister, however, decided she was NOT happy with her boobs and got implants to a 36C and she's now happy; however she won't weight train because she's worried about popping a boob, she won't run fast, b/c she's worried about popping a boob....she won't do a lot of stuff b/c she might pop a boob. AND she got the under the rib muscle boob job....NOT WORTH IT! I would hate to have to always be concerned I might pop a boob.

That's ok, what do they say over there again? Juice heads will be juice heads! :bigsmile:You almost sound sincere untill you ended with that typical man comment, disgrace for the good guys out there!:huh:
except this guy lol.
dubstep?? seriously? boo.0 -
ditto all the "do what's right for you" comments.
But also, a dear friend of mine got implants and she feels great about them. (She thin and went from an A to a full B.) BUT they feel weird - not that I grab them! But when she hugs me, they feel... not "hard" exactly, but nothing like real flesh. So, there are pros and cons.0 -

Exactly. I am not that well endowed, but I know people who are, and it's no picnic.
I would first recommend reading up on how to dress for your body type. There are great garments that one cannot (or really should not) wear with a large chest; in fact, quite a lot of looks that are fashionable right now do not look good on big-breasted women. The books by Trinny Woodall and Susannah Constantine (behind the UK version of What Not To Wear) cover this well.
Flat chests also age better. They don't sag as much.
The other thing to keep in mind is that you you can turn small boobs into big ones for a day if you want to ("chicken fillets" in bra), but the reverse is not true. Before making a decision like that, try faux boobs first; it might be enough for you.0 -
I think it's something to think long and hard about. You're clearly not all in if you are asking other people what they think - you have reservations and if you do, wait until you don't. You may get to goal weight and feel great about your body and decide against it. I understand it though. I have a super flat booty and it makes me crazy self consious - I would pay for implants. I also worry about my boobs being rotten when I lose the weight. I wouldn't get implants but I'd get a lift. We all have things we want to change but like I said - it's something to think loooong and hard about. I also am with anyone who says not to do it if its for someone else - it should be 100% for you!0

No. You're 18. That's a bit early in life to be getting plastic surgery.
The kind of men that you will be looking for when you are older will not be the same men you're looking to impress right now.0 -
At 18 years old your body is just lovely. Please don't do anything to it.0
-
This is a decision you have to make on your own, regardless of what anyone says. Don't do it for attention from guys because the kind of attention you'll get will only be from pigs. Don't let that be the first thing they notice. You are already beautiful. I don't know why we all can't be happy with what we have. The smaller boob girls seem to want them bigger, and the bigger boob girl wish they were smaller. Try to embrace the way your body looks and be happy ..cause you're hot !

I have big boobs. Soooooooooooo overrated.
Right???
Seriously though, only do it if YOU want bigger boobs and YOU are okay with the cost and having foreign bodies in your own body. Dudes might find me more attractive if my nose was smaller, but I'm cool with my nose so it's staying as is. Guys might find me more attractive if I lose weight, but that's not why I'm doing it. I'm unhappy with my body and that's why I'm changing it. Good luck!0 -
I personally think it's better to just appreciate what you have.
Confidence is what I find attractive in any person, be it male or female.0 -
Oh, I totally missed that you're 18. Some may disagree, but please wait several years before making this decision. Like 23 or 25. You're about to embark on some amazing years in your life and you may find that the person you are in 5 years loves her breasts just the way they are. I guess this is true for ANY age, but at 30 I can say that between 18 and 25 you change more than you can imagine.0
-
Not worth it IMO. I find the smaller breasted, athletic look more desirable anyway. Whatever your body type, confidence is sexy. Be comfortable with yourself and you'll be sexy to the rest of us.0
-
Yes I think its worth it!!
Plus did you know they now have a procedure where they can transfer your body fat to your boobs?! True story.0 -
Its really up to you. I have huge fake boobs and I love them. LOVE. after 2 kids I wasn't happy with how they looked so I had them done. I had another child after having them done and had no problems breastfeeding. I'm a 36F and I can swim, I can run, and do pretty much anything other girls do. I've had them for 6 years and have yet to have any regrets nor have I received complaints about having fake boobs from the opposite sex. Mine are under the muscle and I'm glad I went that route.
Its something you need to research before you decide either way.0 -
I've got nothing at all against plastic surgery, in fact I had a tummy tuck a few years ago. They asked if I wanted to augment "the girls" at the same time and I said no. I thought they looked pretty good for a woman my age, and I didn't feel the need to try to look any younger than I am. That being said, at your age (your profile says 18) you might want to wait a little while before you make that decision. It's an expensive procedure and it's all out of pocket (no insurance coverage) and it's sort of like a tattoo... be sure it's something you REALLY want because you'll have it for a LONG time! If you do choose to do it, I agree with a lot of the people here... don't go too big. You said you were a C cup before you lost weight. That's ample. I wouldn't go any bigger than that.0

Sorry this is going to sound rude. But I don't really mind. I can't believe more people haven't jumped on this wagon.
You're only 18?! Dude, someone please back me up on this--you shouldn't be making decisions about things like that when you're 18. For multiple reasons. 1) it's dang expensive. 2) you haven't had kids. Do you plan on having kids? Implants can affect things like that. 3) breast size changes up through your early to mid-20s. Give it a few more years and see what happens to your body.0 -

Uh implants don't "affect" the ability to have kids......0 -

oh geez I'm not that stupid. I mean breastfeeding. I know it doesn't always, but sometimes it can affect the ability to breastfeed. Depending on your thoughts on breastfeeding...(logic leads on from there)0 -
Do it if it's what you really want.
I mean I'm pretty positive I'm getting them once I lose the weight.
I've always been pretty flat chested and I want them to feel more happy without myself.
If it's what will make you happier, go for it.0 -
Huh. As someone that had to have both breasts removed at the age of 41 because of breast cancer, appreciate what you have. Mine were small but they were mine.Yes, I do have implants but if I had to do all over again I don't know that I would. My situation is different than a normal cosmetic enhancement but the problems that others have mentioned are real and happen all of the time. And it can make cancer detection more difficult.
18 seems young to be making a decision like that. But, these days nothing surprises me. To each his own I suppose.0 -

Actually the type of incision done is what can affect breastfeeding. Its more common for women who have breast reduction surgery and lifts to have issues breastfeeding than those whi get just a breast augmentation. I had implants and a lift, with the incision that MIGHT affect breastfeeding and I breast fed my youngest just fine.0 -
so i've been thinking about getting breast implants after reaching my goal in muscle and body fat percentage. i've always been very conscious about my bra size and now as i've lost a lot of inches off my chest (from 36C to 32B) i really feel less attractive to males. i've been told to gain weight back by some guys, but if i gained it back, i'd also get the belly pooch, thunder thighs and lots of cellulite back. i want to be a 34D. unfortunately, it would cost me a lot of money, considering that after reaching my fitness goal, i'd be an A cup or even an AA. do you think it's worth the money?
NO.0 -
A good looking gal is a good looking gal. After looking at your pics I gotta say, if you arent having to beat the guys off now, implants arent gonna give you what you need. Physically, you dont need to improve anything.0

I have had mine for almost 8 years. The reason I did, was because, at the time I had lost a lot of weight & after having a kid, they were well, kind of deflated. Oh, and I was newly divorced. LOL I just wanted to fill them back up! I went from a B to a D & now that I've gained more weight than I had lost at that time... well, they make me look even more fat (and I'm in a DD at 5'2"). LOL Do I regret them? No. I cant wait to get back down to that weight I was at before and rock them! LOL Now, that all being said, because I was just filling up the flat tires, mine still look pretty natural. If I had it to do over, I would have opted for a smaller implant and done a lift along with it. The choice is yours, best wishes!
Oh, mine are also saline, round, textured, under the muscle & the scars are in my armpit.
Also, did I just see you are only 18? Give it a little time...0 -
I'm not completely opposed to implants. It's an individual decision, and I may end up with them myself in a couple of years depending on how my body changes. As others have pointed out, 18 seems very young. I look at friends I had at age 18 and it's clear that some of them had not finished growing and changing by age 18. Also, the risk of the implants doing damage to your ability to breastfeed would cause me to wait at your age.
You mentioned wanting to be attractive to men. Personally, I don't want the kind of man who needs over-sized boobs to find a woman attractive. I want someone who finds me beautiful for my entire person. Of course that includes finding me physically attractive, but I need to mean more to a partner than big boobs.
Good luck with your decision!

at the end of the day is entirley your decision.
Its how YOU feel about YOUR body.. it should have nothing to do with "being attactive to the opposite sex", but how the implants will enhance YOU and YOUR self esteem and confidence. ultimately making you the best person you can be
Some people hear the word "implants" and assume you are going to get tits like dolly parton or pamela anderson, if you get them at a natural size to compliment YOUR body they look great.
If you are doing it for all the RIGHT reasons, i say GO FOR IT.0
