Boob jobs...

Had it done 6 yrs ago, very happy!

Which type did you get? And did you get them behind the muscle? Do you have to get them replaced at 10 years?

I want to get mine done! I was a full C and now I think they're getting smaller as I lose more weight . I want to hear from women who exercise a lot and have gotten them! What's your experience been like?

I had a breast reduction about 6 years ago and it was the best decision I ever made. I got most of the surgery covered by insurance and to do so I needed to visit a physical therapist for about a month. My first visit she said we would start each visit by putting a warm pack on my upper back/neck to help with the constant twitching in that area, due to my large breasts. I went from an "H" (yes you read that correctly) to a "C". I am much more active now and have never looked back.

As a woman who has always had large breasts (nicknames in HS- "Titty Titty Bang Bang" and "Jugs" and "Watermelons") I have thought about getting a reduction. Because my muscles strain to hold up my chest, my spine is now beginning to curve in the wrong direction. I have "military neck." When the doctor held a pencil up to the x-ray, my spine was parallel (in a straight line). I often have neck problems. I cannot run. I lost over 20 pounds my freshman year of college and they continued to GROW! I am waiting to get a reduction until after I am done having kids (I haven't even started yet) because I want to breast feed. My boobs are for nurturing children some day- but after that they'll be cut down. I have a few friends who have gotten reductions and their chests actually have thick scars (mostly leading to under their arms) but I've been told they sometimes hurt too. I also have friends who have gotten implants and were unhappy or very happy with the result. No matter what you decide, make a list of consequences and good things that could come of each scenario. Research research research! Talk to and look at (and feel) the chests of women who have had the surgery you are looking to do. And remember- nothing is ever guaranteed in surgery.

Best decision I ever made hands down! I did my research and found a very skilled surgeon! I could not be happier! I waited years to do this for myself and I am so happy I did. I think as long as a girl is doing it for herself to make herself feel better and happier then it is great! I think people have a very distorted image of breast implants. Breast implants dont have to be huge and look un-natural they can look beautiful and modest . Dont hate! Just my 2 cents!

what paula said!! :O)
Yes they are superficial but it's basically like getting braces., in my opinion..
having superficial materials put in yur body to create better results...helping you feel comfortable in your own skin..however its great if ppl can love and accept for who they are, but it is also natural for women to have breasts, if there are no breasts than it can create an image out of portion, same with false teeth.... when u lose ur natural ones will u stay with just gums??
medical reasons or not, i respect peoples wishes... i think pamela anderson style are over the top, but i also think females with muscles (something natural) looks so wrong....
each to their own !!! dont judge....
also, its something implanted to the body, like a hip or knee replacemtn.. on the outside its still the natural body, its just been enhanced .......

chin and bum implants however....different story for me! LOL..ew...

I'm against breast enhancements (except for the medical reasons) because it's superficial. You're feeding into what society and the media has told you you should look like - whether you want to admit that to yourself or not. I feel you should be happy in the body that you have, everyone's bodies are beautiful and shouldn't be altered because of society.

sweety, unless youre living butt naked in a hand built shack with no make up/jewellery/perfume you are feeding into what society and the media has told you what to look like.

sorry but i totally respect ur own opinion but this is coming from someone who has a pic of a girl on their profile who looks as tho the boobs are fake! lol.. and an *kitten* as a profile picture ??
implants arent made of plastic, basically made of water - the same as natural breast tissue......also u can still breast feed with them - i was never breast fed, nor did/does my mother have implants...implants make it easier to detect breast cancer... also..'they look really awful' is an extrmely generalised comment, u have no idea what boobs around you are fake or not..some that are real look fake, some that are fake look more real than the real!.....not to mention it is a non-invasive procedure where very little complications are involved... people do this all over the world for medical reasons, to personal... if they are implanted behind the muscle, and sized to the portion of the individual body, then they look equally as good as real ones.. infact can make females feel more natural by having them, then opposed to a body with no breast tissue at all.....
again, just like false teeth or knee/hip replacements....will you consider them if need be?? or do all false teeth look really awful too? because they were worried of their image and gummy teeth ??
i dont know why people are so against them.... esp ones who are judging against them whilst judging themselves with them...contradiction!

I'm probably going to offend a lot of people, but I have a right to express my opinion, and that is that I HATE boob jobs. HATE. THEM. :P

I'm very flat-chested, but I would NEVER EVER EVER get a boob job. Why?

#1 - I think they look really, really awful. No matter how "good" the job was done, I just think they look utterly ridiculous.
#2 - I want to love me for me, and my real body. Not some plastic, falsely shaped version of me.
#3 - There are many risks involved, some of which could endanger your ability to breastfeed children in the future (which I DEFINITELY want to do).

I wish more women could just love their own bodies and not think they need to have larger, or fake, boobs in order to be beautiful or happy with themselves.

# NB- Yes, I understand there are many women who do reconstruction surgery after mastectomy. I have no problem with this, as I'm sure such a loss would be devastating. I'm talking about women who have perfectly healthy breasts and get these surgeries simply for vanities sake.

Thank You skyeashlee!!!

I actually had mine reduced 7 years ago when I was 27. I've always had huge breasts but then I've always been a big girl. I lost a lot of weight when I was mid 20 but my boobs were still massive, they were uncomfortable, I had back trouble and found it hard to work out...so £4k later they were a few sizes smaller. Now I'm the heaviest I've ever been and my boobs are massive again.
Hoping they will shrink as the weight comes off.
Boobs are sexy, unless oversized :-)

Probably one of the odd guy opinions out there, but I much prefer natural ones of any size, to fake ones. That's just me.
But I totally understand women who get them done, life's too short not to do things that make you happy.

Haha at least one of your profile photos is of a woman who has obvious fake boobs. You can't hate them all too much :P

I can't like the rest of a picture because I don't like one part of it? :-/ I like how toned and athletic she is. I don't have to like her boobs. I also don't like giant tattoos, but I know several people in my life who have them, and I still like those people and think they look great. But what you're saying is, I shouldn't like someone (or a picture of someone) if there's even ONE thing in that picture I don't like...? Wow. Pretty harsh.

I have the right to express my opinion (of hating the way something looks) without you getting all pissy because it's not YOUR opinion. Ok, if you love fake boobs, that's awesome. More power to you. But I hate them. I have the right to feel that, and to say that. I also have the right to look at inspiring photos of women who are very athletic. So chill out and move on with your life.

I don't even feel like responding to the other person who wrote some diatribe trying to tell me why MY OPINION is *so wrong*, because I have to go to the gym.

Later, interwebs haters.

Nothing in the world irks me more than a super fit woman with boob implants. ESPECIALLY when they are trainers.

It's like hey, I'm a poster child for health and wellness, yet I put my body through unnecessary surgery just for my physical appearance.

That's a peeve of mine, too... how many fitness models have to be surgically altered to match some kind of ideal of what physical perfection is supposed to look like.

If that's how they want to look, that's up to them. I personally don't want to look like a caricature.

!.....not to mention it is a non-invasive procedure where very little complications are involved... people again, just like false teeth or knee/hip replacements....will you consider them if need be?? or do all false teeth look really awful too? because they were worried of their image and gummy teeth ??

Like them or not., you can't really say it's a non-invasive procedure. Anytime a scalpel or other surgical intrument cuts skin it is invasive. And there are complications, some potential and some more serious than others.
People rarely (if ever) ge a knee or hip replacement for image reasons.
I'm not saying a woman shouldn't do this surgery or any other for looks or self esteem or whatever; just setting some facts straight.

smh.
