Ladies...would you consider getting "new girls"

Hi, you raise an interesting question. I don't want to throw water on your enthusiasm, but you need to think seriously about this and do your homework. Anything that is invasive may cause problems as you get older. I am a breast cancer survivor (r breast). Between the lumpectomies and the radiation, that breast was about half the size of the other before reduction surgery! I started as a DDD in both sides. In addition I have lost about 60 pounds, and am going through the same thing as many of you, new bras, then they're too large, etc. etc. I am down to a D which is a very nice place to be.

I did have reduction surgery on my left(noncancerous) breast about 5 years ago. Imnderstand that it won't just be taking off skin here and there, but completely reconstructing the breast. It was really, really not fun. ( But I had complications you won't have - the radiation from the other side made the skin not heal, so a six week recovery took six months.) But so far no cancer from having the surgery done. Crossing my fingers. Do your homework and be sure to ask your sugeon the questions about what may happen down the road if you do it. I am glad I did it because the weight difference kept my left shoulder always sore, and I needed two different cup sizes, etc. etc. But it was an ordeal.

Just remember that any time you mess with the body tissue, it could cause problems as you get older. Depends on the person. I'm not sure i understand why it works that way, but it does for me. Good luck with whatever you decide.

I've currently lost 97 lbs and have another 123 to go to hit my goal weight. I started this journey last yr with 46 DDDs. And to be honest - one side could have probably gone up another cup size as I have always been considerably lopsided and uneven.
I currently am wearing a 42DD - but I fill up alot of the cup with extra skin (UGH!) - and they hang FLAT against me now! They have always hung somewhat - Pendulous is what my mother called them. But now there is no lift, nothing!

I know that at some point I am going to need a whole body over haul. And I am ho[eful that insurance or a miracle will allow me to do that when it's time. But for the breast - whether I get the other or not- as soon as I hit my goal weight - I am finding the money from somewhere to get some implants! It will be my reward for all my hard work!

i wouldn't.

i'd get fat sucked out before i had fake boobs put in.

i like that people look at my face first, instead of my boobies. makes me feel smart.

Nope. I have DD's now and would love for them to be smaller. My family also has a history of breast cancer, so I don't want to do anything that might exacerbate my risks. More than likely, once I hit 40, I will opt for the voluntary mastectomy. I've had cancer once and seriously don't want to deal with treatment again.

Yes.

The shape of mine has become awful since losing weight and breastfeeding my daughter. They no longer feel like MY breasts. If I could afford cosmetic surgery, I would do it.

Why not?

My wife and I are both saving for a procedure at year end:

Me-liposculpting around flank and lower abdomen
Wife- Lift and tummy tuck

I'm one of those freaks who has managed to keep her boobs despite losing ... I only went from an E cup to a DD cup, so I'm lucky,

But I'm still losing so they could be next!!!

If they disappear I would definitely consider it, everyone feels differently about their girls :-)

I'm one of those "freaks" too.

I suually straddle the C/D line wearing 36Cs or 34Ds. I bought a bunch of 36C bras and they are too small. I have lost 15lbs! I don't understand. I went bra shopping on Saturday..... the one that fit was a 36D. I feel like I got bigger instead of smaller. I used to wear smaller sizes when I was 40lbs heavier.

Weird.

Now I am actually HOPING to go down in size so I can wear all those cute bras I bought that I can't fit into! :grumble:

I'm saving up for an " uplift" as I type

Shoot yes, I sure would if I could!!!! I am on Coumadin for a mechanical heart valve and no doctor will want to cut me open to do a boob job unfortunately, but I would do it in a heartbeat if I could!!!

Mine were awful after breastfeeding 2 kids for 2 years and losing all of my weight.

It was one of the best things I have ever done for myself. I didn't go too big, just enough to feel confident in a bikini.

It has been almost 9 years and I still love mine!
