    My opinion doesn't matter as it is your body.

    However, as you are still in the process of losing weight, please consider waiting until you've maintained your weight loss for several months as the shape of your body is still changing. Once you get the implants, you're stuck with them and if you choose a size NOW, you may choose a size that won't look proportional once you're in maintenance.

    Good luck, whatever you choose!

    I don't know.... it's kinda like getting a tattoo in an obvious place. Make sure you're 1000% committed before you do it and make sure you do your research on who is going to do it. Also, make sure you've taken into account everything that could go wrong as well as general maintenance and care (EX: you have to replace them every 10 years or so, it can potentially create problems with breastfeeding in the future, etc.)

    I'm 5'2 and have DD's so if you look at my profile pic, yes I think D's are too big for our height. I will give you a cup or two if you want them lol

    Yeah according to my sister, the whole 'replace after 10 years" is a fallacy. Also this doctor warrantees his work for your whole life, if you ever have a problema dn they need to be replaced or whatever, it doesn't cost anything.

    Yes, I'm definetly not setting a surgery date today. Still need to think about it more and I want to be at my goal weight before committing.

    The most important thing is that ur at ur ideal weight when u get them. so if u want to get them fine, but for best results this is a must. it will also show u if this is a spur of the moment/gratify the flesh thing :-)

    You go girl! :happy: I would LOVE to buy new girls but have way too many other things to pay off. :frown: I am almost completely flat-chested and I HATE IT! I am also worried about what other people (mainly my parents) would think of it. Maybe someday.....

    I rather like my little girls. :smile: But as small as they are, sometimes clothes that otherwise fit my waist, hips and shoulders are too tight across the chest. I was recently dress shopping and was really surprised that some 6's fit except in the chest. And that's with a set of barely Bs.

    Just keep in mind you might end up having to buy larger and have your clothes altered to fit right.

    I think you should do what makes you happy, of course!! But I believe what you are really asking is do we MFPers think implants are a good idea?... And if that is more so the question...I vote "nay". You've got to consider how much the person doing them is invested in your happiness. And what are your sister's motives in pressuring you? If you are not really unhappy with them, I'd say think about it plenty before making that step. Being permanent and being surgery, it IS a big step and you don't know what the results will be like. I think it is a gamble. You know your body and your self-perspective best so only you can decide if it is worth it.

    I had a boob job 3 years ago and my only regret is that I didn't do it sooner. I was a tiny AAA and then had half of one removed due to cancer. I never thought that they could get any smaller but boy was I wrong. :laugh: My husband was very ambivalent about me having the surgery but he told me that if it would make me happy then I should do it. I know that many people find it vain and a silly thing to do, but you should do it only if you are doing it for yourself and no one else. :flowerforyou:

    Man, Boobs have been trending on MFP this week! LOVE IT.

    BEST MONEY I HAVE EVER SPENT.

    I went from a small B to a full D ~ 480cc Saline Tear Drop shape.

    Are you getting high profile or teardrop? I personally wished I got high profile because mine look too real. :yawn: :grumble:

    If it is what you want - go for it. My mom is 80, got hers at 49 due to cancer. she has had them replaced after a car accident. She looks great, you can't tell (except she can still go braless and be 'perky'). They look fine! And- she says they still feel fine. PS: started a little savings account to consider an uplift later myself.

    Huge NAY for me, but that's not what matters, if *you* want them (and you've researched and are aware of any potential issues), you should go for it. It's your body, do whatever makes you happy. And hey, Toronto, represent!

    ETA: But don't let your sister's pressure influence your decision, it needs to be 100% about you.

    I had my consultation yesterday and it went quite well! The doctor is very nice and listened as I told him EXACTLY what I want to get out of the surgery. He suggested 355 or 375 cohesive gel implants that go over the muscle and the incision is at the bra line. These implants are a bit more expensive than saline, but saline won't give me the look that I want to achieve. He also said there won't be any implications to breast feeding in the future, and I shouldn't expect to have any problems that would require them to be replaced. Of course he warned me that there is always the possiblity of infections or other complications that go with surgery of any kind. All in all, I was very pleased with the whole process and im about 90% sure that I will go ahead with it. Now it is just a matter of figuring out the financial aspect of it.
