Has anyone out there lost a good bit of weight and also lost their breasts (lol)? I noticed as my body fat percentage went down, so did my lady lumps (because they are composed of fat of course.) Im unhappy about it! Im also wanting to become a fitness model.
So my question is, has anyone out there gotten breast implants due to that fact? If so, do you regret your decision or did it help you? Im trying to decide whether or not to get a pair.. Inform me on breast implants! I know a lot of fitness models have em because of their body fat percentages being low. Thanks.

I love boobs! While at shopping, I donate to second base. (breast cancer)
Anyway, here is a compiled list of boob and your body fat information read up. http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=1228486810 -

I'm sure that I'll be different than most men. But personally, I'm not a fan of surgery and things like that. There are too many complications and problems that can arise from having them done. Plus some women get them too freakin' big for their body.
I'd rather have naturals then fakes. Age happens, it's something you should learn to accept and progress with, instead of trying to "fix".
Oh, and FYI, boobs > *kitten*. But natural > fake. Any day.0 -

Awesome! See my husband loves the idea of me getting some, so do I! I want some like Katy Perrys or fitness model Vanessa Tibs. I also LOVE Arianny Celeste's boobs.. I just have nothing
Granted I would not trade my 6 pack for anything lol but I sure want some cleavage! I guess Im wanting to feel mor "feminine" ya know?
Next question-Should i wait till after i have kids? Does pregnancy really screw up fake boobies THAT bad??? Cause I want them NOW! lol.
How big did you go and are you happy with your size? Also, did u go the saline or silicone route0 -

I have been contemplating the same thing.... My boobies are small as it is and the more body fat I lose the smaller they become. I decided to wait till I have kids to enlarge them because I hear that they change after childbirth and sometimes get bigger (hopefully), besides I want to make sure I can breast feed.
As far as fitness modeling... I believe getting breast implants is almost a must especially if you are planning on competing. it gives you the feminine sexy look. Just don't get them too big (that looks fake and yucky in my opinion), get them natural!!!
Who doesn't love boobies?!0 -
Love mine! I have to run, but PM me or write on my wall and I'll remember to respond when I get back 0

Boobs are a nice accessory, but they aren't the whole outfit.
I prefer thin without boobs over heavy with boobs.
The problem with implants is that they really only last about 10 years.
So the $10,000 you pay today, gets repeated every 10 years.
That's $1,000 a year to have cleavage.
I have noticed that some women get implants so they look better while keeping the last ten pounds, but that is purely personal taste.0 -
i, personally, would not get them-and im what we call an "almost A cup" meaning at 21 i can still find training bras that fit. And i think that fitness competitors get implants due to the negative stereotypes surrounding female bodybuilding. I can imagine the difficulty looking feminine when your delts are bigger than "the girls". Again, i wouldnt do it personally because im comfortable with my itty bitties, but if it bothers you terribly be sure to do your homework when selecting a surgeon!0

I have them and I wish that I never got them! It was a gift to myself for reaching goal weight, I had a lift/implants, I had a hard time recovering. I never fully recovered from the first surgery and a year later I had to have another surgery to fix problems. You should have them replaced every 10-15 years and my husband wished that I never got them because they don't feel natural, not like real boobs. It's up to you!0

geeezzzz hard choice. not sure what im going to do..0

How big did you go and are you happy with your size? Also, did u go the saline or silicone route
I havent had kids, so I can't really comment on that. I have PCOS which is the leading case of infertility, and I dont plan on even trying untill Im about 29 because my husband and I want to travel/ live closer to home when we have kids (he is in the AF). I know it is taboo to get them before haivng kids sometimes, but since I don't know if I will be able to have them/ I can still enjoy them for several years before even thinking about kids, I got them.
I feel SO much more feminine...when I look back at my pre op pics...I look like a young boy.
Some people don't even know I have them bc they are not giant. 350 or 375cc (I cant remember) silicone took me from small B (basically an A, but I bought padded Bs to make myself feel better lol) to a D. So good for my self confidence.0 -
I did lots of chest exercises, so while the bra size went down, my cup size increased, and they actually look larger than when I was fat. Plus they're as perky as when I was a teenager (35 now). Of course I purposely stopped losing weight when I got to my goal which helped avoid the boobs shrinking, and as long as my stomach is flat, the idea of abs never really appealed to me. Of course since I have no interest in fitness modeling, I don't need abs or larger boobs!!
Had you mentioned that you're a nurse? Wouldn't you maybe have access to a "trial" pair from a nice doc to lend you and your husband to see if it's something the two of you would be interested in?0 -
I think they are fine if that's what you think will help finish your physique. I've trained Fitness and Figure competitors and over 60% of them have implants.Has anyone out there lost a good bit of weight and also lost their breasts (lol)? I noticed as my body fat percentage went down, so did my lady lumps (because they are composed of fat of course.) Im unhappy about it! Im also wanting to become a fitness model.

Just make sure you really research the doctor. Like a Certified Trainer, just having the credentials doesn't mean they're really good at what they do.0 -

My hubs is in the AF too! He is deployed Haha yeah I feel like a young boy.. I neeeeed something to be done. I want a large C or a small D. I heard silicone is best and more real looking. 0 -
As long as you don't go too big for your frame I think they are a great option. They can actually look very natural when someone has not gone too big. Doctors will try to push larger, but go with what you feel in your heart. My mom worked for plastic surgeons for years so I know this. Also, just make sure you find a great doctor who listens to you.0

Fake boobs just seem like another thing we're made to believe we need by the constant media images thrown at us. So many risks associated too, from the general risk associated with any surgery to the risk that you'll probably want more work done after. Small, natural and happy for me please.0

I got my implants put in when I was really fit and had my body fat was around 18%!
I was a fitness instructor and was teaching lots of classes etc, so always wore tight tops etc. After having 2 babies i was a AA cup!
It made me depressed so i got impants in to make me upto a C cup. After the op i ended up as a 32DD, and that was them putting the smaller ones in lol
I have a small frame but they don't look overly large for me! All the men i know love them, and mine are very natural. I have a pic of me 3 months after they were done. I dont know how to put it on here so i will put it on my profile for you to see!
Mine are very natural, i have no visible scarring and they are really soft like real breasts!
IMO it was the best thing i ever done! But you need to make the decision for you, cos it is an incredibly painful procedure!

No way no big melons. I actually like Nicole Richies new implants. They are small and right for her petiite frame. My frame is the same as hers so Im looking into what will fit my body. Dont want to look FAKE and drastic. Some girls go way too big.0 -
Well, I had mine done after I lost all my weight after having my third child (now I have 4 lol probably because of the implants!) Anyway, I had them done about 8 years ago- It was one of the best things I ever did for myself. Now, I am not one to want anyone to feel bad about their bodies or feel the need to change something- I am actually quite a natural loving person. BUT my boobs went to a small saggy B after 3 kids breast feeding and I just didn't feel sexy... at all.
Once I had them done, a whole new world opened up to me as far as clothing- bathing suits, workout wear- you name it. It all looks good once my weight is in check.
Someone else said it- and I totally agree- do not go too huge. I let the dr decide what he felt was good for my body- telling him I wanted a natural look- and he did a perfect job. I hate the look of giant fake boobs on these tiny petite women- they look like they could tip over. Also, I have saline- and no- they do NOT feel natural. At all. period.
BUT they look awesome! Good luck.0 -
One more thing- shop around- interview doctors. All doctors are not created equal. This is the kind of thing that it pays to go to the more expensive doctor if he has a better reputation and a lot of experience. There are cheaper doctors (by several thousands- you'd be suprised!) but I would not recommend going to one- you will get what you pay for on this one. (in my humble opinion)0

I'm very small chested, naturally but also because I'm quite lean. I have also had 2 kids (so they are pretty much non existent, but I've learned to love them this way, it's part of the package). What I can say is, if you haven't competed to be a fitness model flat chested to see where you will place, then I wouldn't even consider it. It's not always just about how you look, there is a lot of politics in fitness modeling and it's very hard to get into it. I follow Figure, Fitness, Body building comps and go to a few per year to support the athletes and I always have more respect for the women (they all work hard) but those who can work it without the fakies impress me even more with their confidence and the air they have about them. Lil cute boobs are just as good as big boobs IMO. Now I wouldn't say I would never get them, it's just I think the $$$ could be better spent in other areas of my life before them.0

Did your 4th pregnancy affect your implants? EVERYONE is telling me to wait till after I have kids to get them.. Does it make that big of a diff? What size did u get and did u get silicone or saline?0 -
NOTHING beats those abs with a nice rear and some athletic built legs. however, its ya'll choice and seems like your mind is made. My wife has fake ones. I didnt like at first but they actually were better after kids. they looked and even had a more realistic feel. In stead of firm and a "stay put stance no matter what" they relaxed but reamained "perky" and looked much better IMHO.0
