    Well. I had a breast REDUCTION, so there is NO WAY in heck I'd get implants - that would completely defeat the reduction surgery.

    That being said, If implants make someone feel better about themselves - then go for it. I've always been large busted, so I don't understand the self image problems that can come with smaller breasts.

    There's no amount of plastic surgery that will make you as beautiful as being fit and healthy will.

    I'm happy with mine as they are...however once I hit goal...if things aren't where I want them, I would consider them for myself .

    I have two kids so the "ladies" aren't what they used to be. After I have met my weight loss and fitness goals I plan on getting breast implants and a lift. I want it to look natural of course. I don't care if people don't like it or don't approve of it, it's my body and I will do what I want.

    Implants can boost some women's confidence. This makes them more open and more relaxed in the bedroom. That is a great thing.

    I prefer au naturel myself, even if they are smaller, but I know guys who feel the opposite.

    If it makes people happy then more power to them.

    They're not for me. I would definitely get a lift though if I could afford it..

    I think I would get a pair myself if you didn't need to replace them every 10 years. I can't image be 50, 60, or 70 years old having that done. So I would have to remove them and then Wth would I be left with?

    I wouldn't get implants, but if you feel like you would be happier with yourself, then I say go for it! I do have every intention of getting a lift after I am done have babies and done breastfeeding!

    I am smaller and people are always feeling it necessary to point that fact out to me as if I didn't know LOl...or tease me with a few jokes. It used to bother me when I was younger. I almost felt a little cheated in the sexy department..but after a while in my late twenties I made peace with it and in my 30s not only made peace with it but decided I was actually happy with my smaller size and wouldn't trade them if given the opportunity for fake or natural...I like the way I am and that's that.don't consider my smaller breast a flaw anymore...As for implants, that would not be an option for me...I have nothing against implants I only wish that people could make peace with their bodies and not try to fit into a- if you're not this size, this skinny, this tall, etc..then you're not good enough idea. If it's strictly for you and not for anyone else, I think, go for it.

    I lovem.....in all different shapes and sizes...like my own personal air mattress for my head and they work as great floatation devices.

    I have implants already it just interests me to hear diverse views on the subject. I didn't need implants...it was something I've wanted since I was literally 8yrs old...lol walking around with water balloons in my shirt.

    I'm surprised a lot of the ladies who have had lifts/reductions don't have implants..usually they recommend them with those procedures.

    Anyone in Az who needs a doc to look into you can check mine out! (my dr that is!)

    If you want it, and can afford it, go for it!!

    I have 2 children, and have always been big busted. Right now, the majority of my 42D's are fat, I'm normally a C-Cup. But my husband just told me yesterday that he LOVES them the way they are, so as long as I'm happy and he is too, I'm good!

    I am fairly confident that when I am done my weight loss journey that I will get them - I can already see a huge reduction since loosing 15lbs... and it's upsetting. They weren't huge before, just right and now they are disappearing!! I know I will end up having boobs that look like socks with rocks by the time I reach my goal.

    I have no need for implants after a reduction. After they reduced them - they lifted them and put them back together very nicely. Getting implants would totally and completely defeat the purpose of a reduction - which was to REDUCE the size of them.

    My chest is very small. I used to hate it. But, then I realized that they suit me, they are convenient for running, my hubby loves them and I can still rock an outfit when I want... just different styles. I personally don't want implants, but I don't have anything against anyone that does.

    after breast cancer, an implant was the option we were going to go.
    unfortunately, i busted the expander, so we went a differrent route.

    a friend of mine had breast implants and they look very natural and really helped her a lot. she is a belly dancer, so it helped with her self image, a lot.

    personally, i would only get them if i lost the other breast to cancer, but i am big chested to begin with.

    It depends what dr you choose because they charge differently. And location matters too!! You can get them done for as little as 2000 and over 10000! Price shouldn't make your decision, but how you feel about the dr and his work..if you get a bad job with complications it becomes pricey to fix! Luckily I haven't had any!

    I realize the point is to downsize but a lot of reductions don't always turn out so pretty. Smaller yes, but if the tissue left is all stretched out and not very "firm" and just jello-ish they use a small implant to make the breast appear to have some sort of volume. That's awesome you didn't need them tho!

    I got a rather larger implant but only wanted a "d". I'm a "f/g" now but they look like Dd's. Fake boobs are nowhere near the weight or actual appearance of natural boobs..if that makes sense. All together mine are 2.5 lbs I can't remember what they would weigh if natural and this size. Hoping with working out I'll fit a Dd so I can shop vickies secret!

    Oh my! Expanders are definitely not as durable as a regular implant! Idk why they just have a higher deflation rate. With the new silicones you can run over them with a full size car and they don't pop!

    It's funny, because I was always someone who was happier with my smaller boobs. They were great for athletics, and just big enough to look good in a low cut shirt. Good handful, really.

    But after breastfeeding, the girls just aren't what they used to be. They're actually a cup size bigger than prepregnancy, but with this weight-loss and all they endured within the first few weeks postpartum, they're decidedly looking more down. I don't know about implants (we'll see what happens when we wean), but I wouldn't argue with a lift at this point. It would make me feel like I got something to keep my sexy factor going as a mom, haha.

    The IRS should add a box to check if you would like a portion(or all) of your return to go towards helping women afford these.

    I LOOOVE mine! lol! Mine do not look fake, they arent hard and they bounce all over the place. I have always had hips and a booty and I wanted the top to match the bottom. I didnt go in though, and say make mine as big as possible. I just said I want my top to match the shape of the rest of my body and look natural for my size, shape and weight.

    Exactly! I always though fake boobs would stay put lol but mine feel pretty squishy/real and bounce! Btw an awesome workout bra is the under armor endure! About $50 but totally worth it! I didn't say to make me as big as possible...just said I'd like a full D and they showed me the siZers. When I had them in I wasn't satisfied with how they looked so went a little bigger. I'm super happy and have though of upgrading...obviously after kids & can't wait!

    I plan on getting mine done as soon as I maintain my goal weight. Why, because I want them to look good, and I will have worked hard to get to that point, so why not enjoy it!
