Boob job!

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.

I had breast implants purely for cosmetic reasons (i had nothing to "fix") because i didn't like my "pert little ones". I don't have big beach balls either :P

Morals are subjective. What is a moral issue to you, is not to others.

I firmly believe that if you want it done, you have the money for it, and you're not harming anybody else, then go right ahead. No sense in holding back because it's "not right", or any if's but's and maybe's. Sometimes I raise an eyebrow at the 18, 19 year olds having cosmetic surgery, but hey, if i had the money at their age i probably would have done the same so what the heck, live and let live

I can't really reply on weather or not you should have implants considering I have always been chesty so I don't know what it's like to be smaller. Seems like everytime I gained weight they get bigger so you would think that when I lose weight i would lose some of my chest, but I don't. Wish I would. Would love to be a B or small C. Just do your homework, find a good doctor and make sure you don't over do it on size.

Your posts seem to contradict themselves. First you said it's a public forum and for opinions, so that's what you gave...in this last post you say "as long as we are all respectful". Talking down to someone or making them feel as if what they want is 'wrong', that's not respectful. If it is not something you would choose not to do, then say...it's not something I would do, but to each their own OR don't even comment in that type of thread. To put it the way you did, in a disrespectful manner, is not cool, or as you say 'respectful'. IMO

you and me both!!!:drinker:
except i don't just want boobs...i want an entire mommy lift!!
lipo my thighs, tuck my tummy and give me some perky girls!!
good luck on ur journey
Pam:flowerforyou:

I hear you girl!! :drinker:

Mommy lift? I like the sound of that! I need to sign up for that one!!

It's hard to say on someone else. It depends on a lot of factors. Your body type, your skin elasticity...etc. I can only speak from personal experience that when I lost weight, I went from DD to a C and they were decent. Did not have kids at this point. It really just depends on the person, no one can say for sure. What were they like before you got to your current weight? That is probably what they will go back to and possibly droop, depending on how big they are now (at your heaviest). You're young, so I'm guessing they'll probably bounce back. How long have you been this weight?

mine is a tummy tuck

Got a boob job done 16 years ago. Love it, never have had any problems, and have no regrets at all.

I've had one side done......I just need to save for the other side.
See I got the meat.....from 30 Rock

I had a reduction almost 8 years ago due to hormonal treatments causing excessive growth. & they came back! So now I am looking into reduction #2. Except this time, I'm going to ask for all breast tissue to be removed & replaced with implants (don't grow or sag!) My reasoning comes from years of this hormonal treatment continuing, plus the result of my last surgery being botched by a doctor who really didn't give a crap. This time I am doing my research on the doctor, & not just going to the only doctor nearby that is covered by my insurance (the last reduction was paid for by insurance bc of back pain + letters of recommendation from my ob/gyn & regular doctor) That is my biggest piece of advice to anyone seeking surgery of any kind. DO YOUR RESEARCH ON THE SURGEON BEFOREHAND! I was 17 at the time & the botched surgery destroyed what was left of my self esteem It was 6 months before my incisions healed fully & then I had to undergo another surgery (lumpectomy) to remove what ended up being scar tissue left from the horrible infection from the reduction. I was left with no choice but the lumpectomy after I was refused a mammogram bc of my age, even though it was ordered by a doctor. That was most likely the most difficult year of my life. It was definitely a learning experience.

I did exactly that!

I got down to about 63kg after being about 100kg, and the skin on my boobs didn't shrink. I had the worst time getting bras to fit me!!

SO in January 2010 I had a mastopexy (a lift) and a slight reduction. I went from a DD to a C.

I'm totally healed up now and I am VERY happy with the results. Please feel free to message me if you want specific details about recovery etc!

Good luck!

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!!

Agreed. I measure 32ff but only LOOK a D cup if that. Fakies are much smaller when in

I just want to be 20 again. Even with my A measurement. They now hang down to where my mini-skirt used to be, but then so does everything else. But no surgeon can give me what I want.

Destined to become a crone, I figure that it will be better than being one of those old gals with the kohl-lined eyes wearing leapord print over wrinkly boobs trying to be babes long past the prime of life!

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.

I have implants and I think God's alright with it because it made me (and it still makes me) really really happy. My guess is, and I've never met God so this is pure speculation, he has bigger fish to fry than this.

I agree! Except I hope he is baking the fish, it is healthier! :laugh:
