Well, everyone is talking about boobs

so I will too : )

I want a boob job.  I always thought they were stupid and a waste, but recently I've been really self conscious about how small mine are.  I'm a 32A, but lets be real...I really don't even need a bra.  I'm 28 and for the first time ever I've actually been considering getting a boob job.  My husband thinks its  waste, but for some reason I think it would make me feel better.  I've always been anti- elective surgery, so where is this coming from? 

I'm going to give it to you strait.  I don't like boob jobs.  And to the best of my knowledge,  most men don't.  The first thing that I think of when I hear boob job is "gross."  Although that is because most of the ones that you see are women with large breasts making them unnecessarily larger. 

But there is something to be said for making yourself feel good about you.  If this is going to make you feel good about yourself, as long as you don't go overboard, then it's a good idea.  But you need to feel supported also.  Speak with your husband and express your concerns and let him express his own.  I think that if you both are good communicators, then you can come to a good conclusion.  

My sister recently lost a lot of weight and that's something that she has been thinking about too.  She had always been a larger girl, but now she looks great after losing (to my visual estimation) 50 or so pounds (I'm not that good of judge of weight though).  She considered a tummy tuck (for the excess stretched skin) and the boob job.  Again, if it makes her feel good about herself, we all should be supportive.   

lol you are already married...  now if you want to sleep around or plan to get divorced and 1up... then get it otherwise just let it be.

Personally I think there are too many possible complications taht can happen. I'm considering maybe getting those paddy things you slip under in your bra to help boost me up a size :P

I think its subliminal from the repeated boob posts

All I can say it that this thread is useless with out pics. ;-)

 QFT! :)

Honestly though, I have had a lot of friends who have had boob jobs and with the exception of one they have all been happy with them. The two that stand out in my mind were literally 12 year old girl flat - one was married, the other was in (and still is in) a long term relationship. Them wanting augmentation had absolutely nothing to do with how other people viewed them and everything to do with how they viewed themselves. They simply wanted to feel more "womanly", and post op they both did.

The only girl who was unhappy got a post surgical infection in one of her stitches and it was so bad that that one had to be replaced so she felt she was a bit off kilter. It wasn't as bad as she thought (they looked fine to me), but she ended up getting them both replaced in the long run. She was happy with those.

As for "boob jobs ew" I say PFFFFFT. You get a good doctor and you seriously can not tell that they aren't real. There are a lot of bad boob jobs out there, so do your research first if you decide to go that route - remember these will be on you for the rest of your life. Go to strip clubs (your husband will be thrilled!) and see if you can spot any you like, then ask the girl where she got them done. Always ask to see if your doctor has a portfolio of his/her work too. Good luck whatever you decide!

 

I have no problem with cosmetic surgery.  If you want bigger boobs, go for it.  It's nobody elses business and if nobody else enjoys your new ta-tas, they're not worthy of squeezin' them.

 lol? Seems like an awkward conversation to start, I wonder if they would even admit they had them done?

Im completely the same way. I think i know exactly how your boobs look like and how you feel with them being the small part of your body. My opinion on plastic surgeries was just like yours. But that was in the past. Im 23 and my boobs dont seem like they could get any bigger. Everyone thinks its the stereotype of those barbie dolls you have in your mind and you just want to look like the doll. People!! its not the only reason why we undergo plastic surgeries!! I know exactly how you feel and no matter what others think i will have them done. Why? The first reason why is because i cant buy a regular bra cuz no matter what store, butique, mall i go to never has such a small size!! Second is that i just do not feel comfortable with nothing under my top. They say get a push-up bra or just stuff it with something. I think, do NOT make yourself look like something you are not. Imagine you have no boobs and wear a push-up bra, then a guy finally takes it off of you and sees 0

Do you have any respect for women?? Getting your boobs done doesnt mean a change in your lifestyle like sleeping around. Maybe it is a reason for you to have something done with your body. Ill bet you have nothing special to charm a girl with. She wants to look good for herself and her husband and feel comfortable with herself. You dont seem to care about your looks and your personality either. Is body the only thing you like in a girl?? If so, you should visit the stores with sex toys cuz if you were next to me in a bar and i had big boobs i wouldnt even look at you. Youre so vain.

Please ,this is not a simple body piercing that you can remove easily.  Consider the health risks.

I personally do not understand why people would want to put themselves through a surgery that does not have to be done. 

I could understand after say breast cancer, and someone having to replace a breast or to fix an abnormality due to disease.

Below are some links to Articles I came by.

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/20185882/

"But the worse is yet to come. The FDA added that removing breast implants may also produce undesirable and irreversible breast changes such as wrinkling, dimpling, puckering, and breast tissue loss. To this day, many safety issues remain unanswered and the long-term risks of breast implants are unknown due to the lack of scientific studies."

Risks

Breast implants may make it more difficult to detect breast cancer on a mammogram. Other risks of getting breast implants include:

• Capsular contracture. One of the most common problems caused by breast implants, this condition occurs when scar tissue around the implant hardens and begins to squeeze the implant. It can cause hardening of the breast tissue, rippling in the skin of the breast, and changes in the shape of the breast. It may also be painful. Surgery is sometimes needed to remove the scar tissue or replace the implant when capsular contracture develops.
• Loss of feeling in the nipples or breast tissue due to nerve damage. Often this is temporary, but it may be permanent in some women.
• Differences in size or shape of the breasts after surgery.
• Changes in the implant. Normal activity or an injury to the breast can damage the implant, causing it to leak, deflate, or rupture. Over time, the implant may harden, develop ripples, shift position, or change shape. Surgery may be needed to remove the implant and replace it (if desired) if any of these changes occur.
• Infection (not common). This can occur at any time, but it typically occurs during the first week after surgery. In some cases of infection, the implant may have to be removed for several months and then replaced.
• Blood collection under the skin, or hematoma (uncommon).
• Abnormal scarring (uncommon)

Take care, do your research, and do not take this lightly.

 

Deleted comment.  Sorry.

 

Think of one word Death. Look at Kayne Wests mom she died of complications from plastic surgery and so so many others have I know she was a lot older than you but I have seen horror stories on tv of what young girls went through. Is it really worth it in the end? I mean come on they will always be fake never be a real part of you so how is this going to make you feel better about yourself?

I have had small boobs I now have big boobs but I wasnt unhappy with my small boobs in no way. They were a part of me and who I was and I will be damned If I was going to feel ashamed of them no matter what shape or size they are in my lifetime.

It sounds like this is a spontaneous decision so I suggest you start with some research about augmentation. If you decide you want to check it out, start scheduling some consults with plastic surgeons. It's important to choose a surgeon you feel 100% good about. Next will be making sure you can afford the procedure (it can get very pricey!)

I had really small boobs before I had kids. They got huge afterward, but sort of deflated over time. I am all ready for my surgery, I just have to raise the money! :)

I am a little surprised to see people mentioning how dangerous this surgery is. Yes, it's an elective surgery and like all surgery, it can go wrong. But there are a huge number of successful surgeries performed everyday, with no complications. The horror stories are just a very small margin. Of course, the risk factor is something to be considered.

I'm on my way out the door to get my annual mammogram. So while I waste a few minutes, I'm going to ramble!

I have had to get regular mammograms for years now because I have a strong family history of breast cancer, and had my own scare 13 years ago, had a suspicious lump removed. My mother is a breast cancer survivor. She did opt for reconstruction, but had complications, and ended up taking out the implant. She is perfectly flat on one side now.

My dad couldn't care less what her breasts look like... all he cares is that she is alive!

I would never get a boob job (by the way, I really hate calling them "boobs" - they are "breasts." Boobs sounds stupid). Because it would make it too hard to detect changes on mammogram.

So you need to think about your entire lifetime, and not just today, while you are young. If you intend on ever breastfeeding, don't do it. If you have a family history of breast cancer, don't do it. You may get your chance anyway down the road, with reconstructive surgery.

I would give your DH a big kiss, at least he's quite happy with you just the way you are! Sounds like a good man to me.

See I don't need/want a boob job but I want lipsuction when I'm old enough and my parents said I can - infact my mother was all for it, confidence boost or what ey?

Anyway, I think plastic surgery should not be allowed on the NHS (blayts that I'm in Britain) unless it's for reconstruction of an accident/illness etc. But if you pay privately (like I will be doing) then there's no reason why you shouldn't.

I'm going on a ramble, sorry. Well as it seems to be a 'whim' with you, I would consider whether you want to go through the pain, the being laid up for a while, the money etcetc. To be fair though, I'd love smaller boobs so can we swop? xD

I have one word for you...HOMEWORK...

Make sure you do it IF you decide to follow through.  I am 100% FOR any kind of elective surgery IF you research it thoroughly and think it through.  

 

I don't meant a month or two...I'd say at the ABSOLUTE LEAST...1 YEAR...

People change, bodies change, ideals change...make sure this change is something you want permanently!  

 If you're thorough in your search you'd do it over a milllion times!!! (or not...if you decide it's not right for you)

 

Either way...good luck! 

I am back from my mammogram and I asked the technician what they do in the case of implants. She said, "Glad you asked - most people don't think to ask this question before they get them!" Then I had to explain I wasn't asking for me, I was just curious in general.

She says that instead of taking 4 plates, they take 8. If you ever had a mammogram, you would shudder at this thought. It's not a comfortable procedure. Basically they smash your breast in between two plates, and do this 4 times. So you would have twice the agony.

She also said that even though they do 8 plates, the accuracy is decreased. It is more difficult to see changes and detect cancer, if you have implants.

Geez, I'll give you some of mine...I've got enough for 2 chicks...really though, like some people have already suggested, research and a good surgeon are a must. Also, if you do have surgery, make sure they're proportinate and don't overwhelm your frame......Good Luck!!!

What's wrong with a's?? All types are needed to make the world go round!
