    I know this may be a totally dumb question - but!

    Why get breast implants?

    Do different women get them for different reasons?

    Is it for yourself or for the people looking at them?

    OP or anyone - your reasons?

    Why? Well, because I want to get into the Porn Star business. LOL! Just kidding. ;)
    Mainly, because I CAN! I USED TO have awesome perfect perky boobs, and then I gained weight, had two kids, nursed two kids, and lost alot of weight. I am 37, done having kids, and I want my boobs back! I want them for ME and for my husband. :)

    Eat pineapple, I've heard it aids recovery from surgeries.
    Also, congrats. I envy you! Someday I hope to get my own pair, and I'm sure you're super excited. After they're in and your'e recovered, be sure to buy them lots of pretty bras and bikinis to show 'em off, if that's your thing.

    Thank you for the pineapple tip! I can not wait to go on a bra shopping spree! :)

    Don't shop too soon. It took a month or three for my wife's to get to the size they would stay at. She came out of surgery massive but they settled down after a while.

    My advice? Don't bargain shop your new boobs. Get the best and most highly recommended surgeon you can afford. Make sure you do lots of research on your doctor before you commit to one.

    Good luck OP!

    Mine are silicone, so many people i know had problems with ruptures and that worried me, I have regular mammograms and they always do a sonogram as well, since any type of breast implant can make it a little more difficult to detect breast cancer. I started out as a 32B and am now a 32D, I had my surgery on a Thursday and was back to work dental assisting on Monday. I didn't have any complications at all and they feel so natural. One thing I can't stress enought is massage, i mean all the time for the first few months, that will prevent excess scar tissue from forming and keep your breasts nice and soft. Get your husband/boyfriend to help you, it's fun for the whole family! You will love them!
    Good for you!!! It's been 6 years since I got mine, best decision I ever made! Silicone or saline?

    I am leaning towards saline. My mother has saline, and really wants me to do saline as well, she thinks that is a "safer" way to go in the case of rupture. I am 37, and will need to start annual mammograms in a few years, and from what I have researched it is harder for them to detect tumors with silicone.

    haha Good luck to you. I actually found this thread in search of anyone who has had them removed. I've had silicone for seven years and have hated them, pretty much since the moment I got them. Since you already have decent size boobs and don't plan on going too huge (and are going for saline) you're probably in good shape. I went from nothing to a heavy DD and it was way overkill. Hopefully you enjoy them more than I did. Best wishes!

    Woot! I have my consultation on Monday, and I hope to have the surgery in March! I am sooo excited. Weight gain, breastfeeding, and then weight loss have done a major number to my boobs.
    I would love to hear any words of advice! Thank you!!
    I want them for the same reason.

    I think it's crappy when people write meh or don't do it, when she's already said she is going to do it. Her body, she's made up her mind. Why be negative?

    Oh, come on. It was a funny negative. People are actually allowed to post their own opinions on such matters in public forums.

    Shocking I know.

    I don't know personally, but a few of my girlfriends have gotten modest sized implants,and they are all extremely pleased with them even now, years later. One of them did have an incident when one of hers ruptured (or something like that), but she had it fixed immediately. Good luck, and I hope everything goes well!

    I got mine, because I was subconscious after my son. I dont regret getting them I love them. I take picture to keep up with my recovery looking through my phone i have more boob pics then a 16 year old boy, , I didnt know the recovery was such a pain in the butt. I love them I find them silly because they dont move a lot and stick up like missiles when i lay down.
