Boob job!

I had mine done last year and I would do it again! But I would go a bit bigger. I got 350CC's and am a 34D and that really isn't big at all. I recommend going a bit bigger than you think you want. You won't regret it. Boobs are fun!!

It's the moral (and societal) issues I have when women get big beach ball boobs, even before they have kids (like that idiot famous person who got them and then was upset because she couldn't breast feed afterwards, it's like, Duh! You mess around in there with foreign objects enough and they aren't going to work properly!!) so that they are "attractive." There is nothing wrong with having little pert boobs. And I realize now that is not what you are adressing.

So I take back what I said about conforming to society, it's ok for you to want to go back to where you want to be, as long as you aren't wanting to "fix" yourself into something totally new. It was a bit naive of me to not understand where you are coming from, escpecially since I haven't had kids. And I know you don't need approval from me, I am just apologizing mostly.

Moral issues? LOL. Getting aesthetics confused with morals... isn't that difficult to do? Wow.

Yes, I consider changing your body (as in, what God gave you) drastically is a moral issue. Getting a boob job is not necessarily just aesthetics. It is a big, invasive deal, it's not like dyeing your hair. I personally beleive that you should rock and be proud of what you were given, and not try "fix" it unless there is something wrong (ie: getting reduction surgery because your back is being damaged etc). In the original poster's case, like I outlined, she really isn't trying to "fix" HERSELF, she is trying to "fix" CHANGES to her body brought on by challenging events taking a toll. That is why I consider it a more aesthetic issue (more like upkeep) than a moral issue, and why I consider getting beach ball breast implants because you aren't happy with your cute pert ones (as in, CHANGING your body drastically) a moral issue.

Do you not consider losing weight b/c you want to be as skinny as Kate Hudson 'changing' your body to 'fix' things? I mean you're so concerned about societal pressures but yet you want to look like a celebrity? The only difference I see is that breast augmentation is surgical, and I'm pretty sure the God that accepted circumcision and said if your right hand offends you then cut it off, doesn't have anything against surgery. Please don't take this the wrong way, but it seems like you're picking and choosing what's 'acceptable' based on your own personal preferences, rather than realizing that different people have different preferences and that's okay.

That's a very good point. However, if you recall I said DRASTICALLY changing your body. I don't want to look like Kate Hudson, I just saw a picture of her once and her height was the same as mine and she looked healthy and beautiful at that weight (which the picture reported was 135) so it became my inspiration. I am not going to go get a nose job so that I look like her, because I don't want to and that would be drastically changing my body.

You are right in that God accepted (mandated) circumcision, but while many would say this is for aesthetic purposes it was actually for deeper reasons, one of which being for heigine. Secondly, "cutting off your right hand" is NOT a reference to surgery, it is a point about how abhorrent it is to sin. It is a far cry from going under the knife for cosmetic purposes.

Of course I am picking and choosing what is acceptable based on my own opinions because that is what opinions are. But I am trying to back it up with reason and knowledge and to have a semi-intelligent discussion with others in this community about it. If you see above I even changed my opinion about the original post, so I am learning from you just as you are all maybe perhaps learning a bit of a new perspective from me.

Breast reduction in 2005.

I would do it again in a heartbeat. Without a second thought.

Granted, that's a little different, but they did a lift at the same time.

Regarding breastfeeding - with the reduction (so a little different) they thought I was good to go. I had my son in 2008 and did not produce milk. I took it pretty hard, and spent three months pumping for literally 4 ounces a DAY total. No increase in production was made, despite all my desperate efforts. I gave up.

When my daughter was born my husband convinced me to give the pump a whirl, "just in case". SO glad he did because I OVER produced for 8 months, until I caught Lyme disease. Then my milk supply died. It was very sad, but I was thrilled I did so well.

I have implants because the breasts God gave me tried their damndest to kill me. Cancer aside, I probably would have gotten them anyway. Even now, I think I'll end up getting them upsized the next time I have to have surgery. Because I can.
