Breast enlargement

Post Reply New Topic

I'm curious about it. I'm satisfied with my body now, I have some nice full hips and buttocks, but small breasts. I think I would look really hot with larger breasts, not too big, just bigger than I have now. There is surgery and then there are pills, which may or may not work. Does anyone have any experiences you can share about breast enlargement (or, conversely, breast reduction)? How did you feel about your body afterward?

I feel that going under for surgery is not a wise move. Every surgery (needed) that I have ever had has had me coming out with amplified ASD symptoms. Areas I was somewhat ok in are absolute nightmarish now. As it has been 13 years since the first surgery and things have not reverted back to my pre surgery level of issues...

To have bigger breasts would be worth it for me. Try the gel inserts that go under your breast in a bra. They feel real and look real.. and not harmful to your health.

**edit!

It should have read NOT WORTH IT for me!

I have heard some horrific stories about people that have gotten breast enlargement... I forget all of the statistics now, but look into the implants that have been recalled, the cost, the percentage of people that end up with infection and their breasts opening up... People that end up with only one breast afterwards. I guess if you think the numbers are small enough and the stories are not too terrifying, go ahead. Though if you are satisfied with your body now, it seems really unnecessary. It would also turn off some people if they knew your breasts were fake...

I think any surgery (including cosmetic) that is done for a valid reason is fine. It would be OK to take the risk if, say, you'd had a mastectomy and wanted to look normal again. But vanity is not a valid reason for surgery, in my opinion.

As pointed out by the poster above, there are loads of risks involved. Your new fake boobs might explode, leaving you with horrible infection and scarring, and you'd end up wishing you had just accepted the (perfectly OK) natural boobs you had before.

Personally I think people who put needless implants inside themselves when they have perfectly normal bodies to start off with are people who are completely self-obsessed, and think that the only thing that matters is their outside. That's kind of a shame. One day, everybody is going to age, and everybody is going to die. We might as well accept that aging and mortality are both inevitable. We cannot remain young-looking for ever.

Even if you did put some fake boobs inside yourself they would look totally stupid by the time you were a Grandma. What are you going to do with them then? Take them out? More surgery, more pain, more danger.

Also, I don't know how old you are, but since you are a woman it is conceivable that one day you might want to have a child. If you cut your breasts open and put implants inside them, something might go horribly wrong, and you might not be able to breast feed your future children. That is, after all, what breasts are for. They are for nursing. Do you really want to risk harming your baby's food supply?

I'm 28, have two little boys, and I'm pretty sure I'm done having children. I'm on so many medications right now and I don't want to alter my regimen for another pregnancy. Nursing will not be a concern for me.

After my pregnancies and nursing, my breasts aren't as "perky" as they used to be. I didn't grow much at all during either pregnancy, and they went back to an A cup after I stopped nursing. So when I say I'm "satisfied", I mean I don't feel bad about myself. But I don't really feel happy either. I'm not unhappy, but I don't feel as sexy as I used to. But I'm not sure if surgery would be worth it.

I'll be honest. I got in an argument with a 16 year old in the WP channel on irc yesterday over this. man, was she flaming mad (of course, she then proceeded to get in 5 more arguments after that but that's besides the point).

How brainwashed she was-- It basically shows how incredibly bent everything is, on advertisers selling things to us females based on some kind of perceived insecurity. I feel like pandering to it basically feeds the monster to a degree. They see it working in their favor, and therefore pursue making women to perceive themselves as insecure to buy into it further, perpetuating the idea.

If you're truly satisfied with your body then why is breast enlargement necessary? It means you're not truly satisfied with your body or you feel like something is missing. If it ain't broke why fix it? Do you see what I'm saying? Did someone say something to make you perceive yourself as insecure? Or is this just societal hogwash that they just want you to believe that bigger (or "big enough") breasts are more valuable than what you have? (instead of valuing what you already have) Basically you can't accept yourself the way you are. Adding a boob job to it won't resolve the underlying insecurities either. I knew a girl who got a boob job and she was just as insecure afterwards as she was before, because THEN the thought was "if this is what it took to feel beautiful, then in the back of my mind I know his love and acceptance was not unconditional if fake boobs are what makes me attractive to him". It's not exactly what you'd want to think.

I can understand if something is done with other motives-- a breast cancer survivor getting augmentation to feel normal/non-distracting (even though I do admire the women who forego it, including the bold lady I knew who even posed nude for an art class to make peace with her body), a reduction done for back pain issues, weight lost to deal with health issues instead of having something being done on the basis of the inability to accept oneself.

My mom even took me to work one day (she's works in a histology lab) to look at implants that have busted and the tissue that had to be removed around them as well as a fair argument against getting implants when I was younger (it was gnarly).

With that said, my eldest sis got implants a few years back. The basis for her decision is that she was obese, lost 170 lbs and what was left of her boobs were dangling around her waist after that. She could've gone the route of reconstructing what she had, but they told her that her boobs would have been smaller than what she was used to and stubbornly like herself opted for implants. Her recovery from it was interesting and both breasts got infected along the way but she made it through.

Personally, I am small breasted myself (32B) and I have learned to accept myself as-is. No amount of surgery, crafty contraptions (like bras so padded that you can use them for pillows) has gotten me to this point of accepting my body.

honestly speaking i myself don't understand what's so wrong with wanting bigger breasts..i have hypoplastic breasts and it's so uncomfortable to be at my position..people mistake me for a guy or think of me as a 14 yr old..it's just frustrating..

if you do get implants please do tell me about the results!

Yeah, it's your body, do whatever you want.
But only if you want it very badly and you think it would improve your life significantly.
You keep saying "I'm satisfied with my body..." "I accept my new figure...", so maybe you don't really want it that much.

I actually like my small breasts (smaller than yours) but once in a while I wish I was normal sized (B cup) like when I have to wear bathing suit. But other than that I'm ok with it.

I just think I would look even better with a C cup, but surgery is quite a bit more extreme than, say, dying one's hair. Which is why I'm not sure about it. I wondered if there was anyone here who had the experience.

My cousin went from an A to a D cup and she's never regretted it or been unhappy with the results. The only thing she has said she would do differently was to prepare mentally for recovery from surgery. She hadn't realized it was going to be pretty uncomfortable for more than just a day or two etc. She was really horrified by the bruising. I guess that was more about how it looked than any pain or anything but it was just temporary. I don't know much about it other than what she's said about it.

Ehh, about breast implants, I heard that once you get them, there not permanent. You have to go back every 8-10 yrs to get them redone, replaced or taken out. Something like that. Even if nothing particularly hazardous happens. It seems like a lot of responsibility for cosmetic reasons. But thats just me. I have a small A cup and Im perfectly happy with mine. Its light weight, comfortable and it never gets in the way. For aesthetic reasons, yeah it sucks being small chested, its hard to fill out tops sometimes but its not bad. If I wanted a bigger look, padding inserts, and push up bras work just fine.
