Breast Implants

good topic. I too have often thought about getting implants. I'm a 34B but would love to be a full C cup. My husband and I have discussed this many times. He says he's worried they wouldn't look or feel completely "real" and doesn't want me to lose my natural beauty. Although it's obvious you are a natural beauty, personally I say do whatever makes you happy. And if that's your motivator to workout then more power to you!!

I would wait until you reach your goal to make a decision. I'm a 32A and the thought has crossed my mind before but the more and more I think about it, I really wouldn't get them done. It is kinda funny, but I like the option of being able to throw on a pushup bra if I want a different look, but not be committed to always having the same size! And being able to go without a bra.

oh yeah and like someone else said, I would go a bit bigger than you think you actually want, because you are pain a lot might as well go big or go home. I regret doing a big C instead of a little or big D. that's my second biggest regret.

You were kind enough to give me advice earlier this morning about changing my avatar because of the cleavage showing. You said something about maybe that is my only asset. And you said some other stuff...

I am glad I read this forum from you. I understand where you are coming from a little better now. I hope that you are able to find happiness whether you decide to stay with your perfect 34B or get the implants.

For what it is worth, I offer one thought. Being sexy is 50% confidence. What I am trying to say is that whether your breasts are larger or small, your sexiness comes from your heart. I know people who are drop dead sexy AND too skinny or too fat or ugly, but they are freaking sexy! I also know people who are physical perfection, but not one ounce of sexy in their entire body.

Look in your husband's eyes, and you will see how sexy you already are.

I would never do it personaly because you are garanteed to need to have more then 1 surgary, there is like a 52% chance of complications, either they turn hard, bust, your body rejects it, and they have to be replaces every 10 years or something like that, I seen a guy of TV awhile back that does breast implants, and he advised against women getting them, so ya, Ill stick to a good bra, Im also a 34B but if thats what you realy want, then go for it.

I am a year away from my BSN degree so the complications are what truly freaks me out. More so than that my major downfall for getting them would be the required upkeep surgery every 10 years. Yet, then a lot of my friends say it is worth it all and they would do it all over again. I am torn.

I would really take the time to examine WHY you want them. I get that looking around at others can make you envious, BUT being large chested, is not all the fun you think. Clothes don't fit the same - you look slutty vs cute with certain styles that others can where no problem. They bounce, they sag, they get in the way, lol.

In additon to that - many say they just want to be "this big" - but once you go and look, and try "them on" - most come back wanting BIGGER than they ever thought they would - those that don't complain after surgery.

It really is a lot to think about. Plus, if you want kids - well - if you CAN breast feed, you will likely need a "boost" post.

Think on it, and be SURE before going through with it.

Good luck!

It would depend on your body type.

What upkeep? Unless you are thinking of having babies, then you should wait until after you are done having children. If you get your implants at a time when you body won't be changing much again, there should be no need for upkeep. I have the Mentor cohesive gel (gummy bear) textured silicone implants and they carry a 25 year warranty. I've had them for 9 years, and don't know why I would want to get another surgery at this point for "upkeep." They look and feel great, still.

They are "overs" which helps with the natural appearance.

1. Shop around and make consultations with 2-3 doctors before you go under the knife. I actually went with the 2nd doctor I visited because he was not only better qualified by professional organizations, but he was willing to use silicone before it was available on the open market again.

2. Listen to what your doctor tells you, and follow his/her instructions.

3. Don't go in with a cup size/ number that you want to be. Implants don't work like that. There are so many variables to think about, such as the shape of your rib cage, how your pectoral muscles are developed, whether or not there is some asymmetry between the sides, ect. Instead have a photo(s) of how you want your figure to look post-op.

4. Then be prepared for all the condescending attitudes from family and coworkers after you have them done. It's crazy what people feel they can get away with saying because you did something for yourself to feel more beautiful. No one is judgy about getting braces on your teeth for cosmetic reasons, but for some reason it is okay to criticize cosmetic techniques on the body.

This is my main reward for reaching goal as well.

WOO HOO!!! I'm happy I'm not the only one..
30 pounds to go and I will get to buy my new Funbags.
