Going Under The Knife?

[Mikayla1]

Well, I certainly didn't want to offend anyone or make anyone feel bad about anything. I was just suggesting that for a man, viewing different women online or in mags or movies doesn't mean that they WANT those women - they are literally eye candy! I understand why people would be upset by it - I was hoping to convey that we women sometimes get too emotional about it - cause we are NOT wired like a man, and take things personally. For us - sex and emotion are intertwined - for men, not so much. Didn't mean to suggest that there is no reason to feel upset - some women will feel upset - others are OK with it.

As for me being 'one' of those women. I assure you, besides the big boobs me and a porno star have nothing in common! I have flaws - and LOTS of them. I have stretch marks, cellulite, a c-section pouch that is never gonna go away, fat thighs.....I am not super petite anymore - or petite at all in fact. I am average if anything. I do have blonde hair - but it is not like in my avatar anymore. So rest assured, I am no porn star or starlet in any way - but I act like I am! Confidence the best thing you can have - even better than big boobs!

So, I apologize if I offended anyone - I am surely not trying to make anyone angry!

[Tyger]

I don't think that Mikayla was trying to change your mind, but to explain WHY men sometimes do what they do, like look at porn.

Men ARE visual creatures by nature. Just ask 'em! Why do you think that lingerie is so popular? We want to look sexy for our men, our men LIKE it when we look sexy. Porn is geared, for the most part, for men. Think of porn as a theater production. You know, how they do absurdly bright and pronounced make up? In theater, it's so you can see their faces from alllllllll the way in the back row. Porn stars, especially women, are taught early on that they're there to make a statement and to literally STAND UP, I mean OUT.

Another example is like, why do so many women read romance novels, even if they're in a fantastic relationship? Women tend to fantasize in their heads. Reading these sorts of books can get women excited. Or, how women with straight hair want curly hair, and those that have curly would love to have straight hair. We want what we usually can't have.

The key word in all of this is FANTASY. However, if you ask your man if he'd want a porn star as a GF/Wife, chances are they'll flat out say NO. I asked my hubby this, and he said that they're not the type of person you take home to Mother, and that they seem like they're high maintainance. Though, he loves their enthusiasm. In porn, not only do you have the the accentuated breasts, but long nails, big hair, lots of makeup, but you have a lack of headaches, periods, kids, and work butting in. Just SEX, and lots of it!! What guy wouldn't love the thought of that.

Try not to take a man's tastes for porn offend you, because, honestly, it's NOTHING against you at all.

It sounds like, from your answer, that you'd get a boob job to help create yourself into the images he likes to see. Darlin', he married YOU! If he wanted a blue-eyed, blonde, with big breasts, he could've found one. Hell, my husband usually liked shorter women (like 5'4' or less), blondes, and big boobs. When he met me, with my 5'9' frame, brown hair, and relatively average breasts, he was attracted to not only my physique, but my personality.

I hope this helps you.

This post is me in so many ways, I have small breasts I am a 32A on a good day as I like to put it. My husband loves me as I am and has told me so in more ways then just opening his mouth. But when he gets those pics from his friends on his cell phone or when he is drooling over some girl at walmart and even sometimes when we are watching porn. I will admit it hurts like hell!!! There is nothing more frustrating then knowing he is looking at someone with more. This is my problem though as it is the problem of others like me. When there is a part of you that your not happy with and your one and only always seems to be staring at that part on someone else it hits you in the stomach like a ton of bricks. Its a self esteem thing. I know when I am having a good day and feel sexy I get noticed alot!! Mikayla is right its confidence and when your confident men come out of the woodwork!!!!!

I personally want to get implants, I want to wear a bikini!! I want to buy low cut shirts!! I want to buy a bra thats really sexy!! (most of my bras have to be found in the girls section/not sexy and way too cute) I want ot buy lingerie without having to worry about how it will fit (if at all)

I really can't afford it and I know that if I could I would probably have complications. Thats just my luck!!

I would say at this point you don't really want to do this for you, its more something for him and to make him want you more, I am sensing thier are others issues here that your not saying and mabye after those get resolved you will be able to decide if this is something you really want.

I really can't afford it and I know that if I could I would probably have complications. Thats just my luck!!

I'm gonna be honest being on the other end of the booby spectrium. I have 40DD and I too want to wear a bikini. Just remember, like i said, go get the inserts and test the waters. I'm sure any doctor would tell you the same thing. Maybe you think a D would be awesome, so boost your bra to that size for a while, maybe to big? Down size and try that. Just remember you don't get to test drive boob sizes once your implants are in without a HUGE bill.

I do agree with Mikayla, your hubby is probably just looking cause it's different, not because he prefers that or doesn't want you. Now I'm a full figured girl and pretty plain jane myself (the boobs are prehaps the only good genes i got) Brown hair, brown eyes. I get very upset when my guy (when i have one) looks at the skinny blondes. I'm UBER jealous of my older sister the red haired blue eyed vixen with the perfect pale complexion, or my younger sister with the blonde hair hazel eyes and perfect olive complexion. They both have men falling at them and I haven't had a date witha guy who wasn't after me for something(more than money ( i don't even have any!) in about 5 years. SO boobs aren't everything sadly.

[synirr]

Ok... I understand wanting to have bigger boobs. I really do. I like breasts, and I would love to have a larger pair to play with, and dress up in pretty bras (because like Froggy said, they just don't make nice ones in my size, also 32A,) and I would love, just once, to have a bathing suit or nice dress actually fit me and look flattering. But the thing is... I LOVE my body. I like what I see when I look in the mirror. I like my smile, my boyish hair, my pale skin, and yes, my small breasts. I'd also like to have more prominent nipples, but instead I have puffy gumdrop areolas, and you know what? I'm proud of them, even if they aren't what I would have chosen for myself. They're cute too, and I even got them pierced -- they deserved to be decorated.

The guy I'm seeing has previously dated girls with a completely different body type than mine. I'm probably not his ideal, physically, and I'm never going to be. That said, either he likes me for who I REALLY am -- which has absolutely nothing to do with how I look -- or he doesn't. If he does, what I look like on the outside isn't going to matter to him in the slightest. If he doesn't, he doesn't deserve to be with me.

There are plenty of good reasons to get cosmetic surgery, but your own insecurities, in my opinion, are not a good reason, and it sounds like that's why you're considering it, Holly. If this is something that really haunts you, don't get surgery, get therapy. Get rid of the problem at the source instead of just masking it

[froggystyle1977]

Suzy- not sure why you decided to quote me here, I gave my honest opinion and what I want and it sure as H$$$ isn't a D.(not everyone who wants implants wants to be big I prefer a My reasons unlike the original posters have nothing to do with what my husband looks at. I also agree with Mikayla But was trying to make the point no matter how many times you say men are visual it doesn't change the pain that comes with it. Those of us on the smaller side with those insecurities will still feel that pain even when we know better.

Synirr-I think its wonderful you are so happy with yourself!!

Though its noones buisness but since poeple are making assumptions I will say it.

My reasons for wanting implants is actually pretty simple and its not my insecurities. I was raped as a child and become pregnant at 11 years old, I had a miscarriage and my body responded by not growing. I never got any taller and my breasts are still the same size (yes even after 3 children). So my reasons are entirely different but as I said I can't afford it and if I could, I am not sure I would actually go through with it.

NO! Honey please don't take what I said in any way as insulting. I was merely trying to point out that size doesn't make sexy, ya know? That I, being bigger, have very similar insecurities. I copied you only cause i had teh same longing, that's all.

I am so sorry about what happened to you, love. And I'm really sorry if you took anything I said as an assumption, i only wanted to show some of the down sides of being bigger, I in no way look down on anyone who wants implants. I would want them i think if i were smaller. I think it's up to you and just to really put some thought into it by "test driving" your new chest.

Men are more visual? I dont understand how that can be said. What like we're half blind or something? As if slow motion time doesnt kick in as i walk past that construction site. As if i dont start getting little goosebumps when my hubby takes off a sweater and some skin shows. As if sexy pictures dont get me wet or when i pull up beside a big truck and a nice beefy arm that looks like its been workin in the sun all day hangs out and my heart speeds up. The only differences i see is in behaviour and how we are raised.

We are raised to please and save our love for one. Guys grow up wanking away to objects. Then we come together as adults and the joy of trying to find some common ground begins. My experience was this anyways, and maybe its an isolated case, but ill try to explain in case anyone else encountered this when they first got married. Ever felt like you were under someones thumb? That what it was like. Every time i was out id get endless text messages and hed be upset if i didnt respond right away. Any time my phone rang hed want to know who it was and what they were saying, looked over my shoulder when i was on the computer, get all pouty and quite when we were out with his friends and they talked to me more than him, like he just wanted me to sit there and be quiet. It was weird, i started feeling guilty, like i was always doing something wrong. I felt like okay, im married now. Maybe that means im supposed to let go of my guy friends, maybe this is how it goes. So i did. He def didnt let go of his girlfriends, kept talking to them on the phone and computer, went out for lunch with girls from wrk, i didnt realize how one sided this was for awhile, so much other shit was going on. When it dawned on me this was BS it took a long time for him to really get it. I was like man you put me on a fucking shelf okay! You treated me like property, possession, something that was yours, not like a partner or an equal. I was in a whole different category than you. Rules applied to me that didnt to you, why dont you see me as a person? Could it be because your experience with women is the last x amount of years in front of a screen? I dont think porn is doing much good for people. It keeps us in roles and keeps us divided.

So, maybe ive just been totally biased by a bad experience. On a side note, how come guys watch this and still dont have any sort of clue about sex or what to do?

If your heads up in the clouds you arent seeing whats in front of you. While i understand the carnal appeal (sex is hot, naked bodies are hot) i think moderation is key with this. Just my thoughts for the day. BTW i quit smoking on sunday, its been a rough week so far...

Youve probly hit the nail on the head! Im way too proud for that tho, at least at this point in my life. I figure me and the hub have the rest of our lives to figure eachother out and help eachother get through things. Im not much of a believer in therapy, its a pill-pushing industry these days. Anyone I know whos gone to a shrink never stops, kinda like the chiropractor...

I wasn't saying that women aren't visual either, because we very much are. But, men especially tend to get turned on MORE by what they SEE, Women by what they hear and think about. I won't say that I don't get excited by seeing a sexy man. Most warm-blooded women do! But, I think it's us thinking about WHAT we could do with that sexy-looking body that gets us hot and bothered usually.

Just because men watch porn, does not make them good lovers. Again, porn is more visual, like "SEE HERE!! IT'S A PAIR OF UBER BREASTS!! WOW! There's a PUSSY!" Not for educational purposes. I've seen a lot of things in porn that I just think "WTF? Not in REAL life would that EVER happen!" Yes, you can get pointers, but it's not really a way to learn how to MAKE LOVE to a partner. Have a good "fuck", probably. But not to learn how to bond with your lover.

It's also, again, for fantasy, not for learning how to deal with people, or how you should view the opposite sex. I guess how you treat others and how you view others is not only based on how you were raised, but your thought process as well. I totally agree with that. However, true partners and lovers that love and trust each other, don't make anyone dump any friends, even if they're of the opposite sex. If there's NO trust, there's no TRUE relationship. Though, some weaker minded & highly impressionable people may, in fact, think that porn represents how you should treat the opposite sex, stronger minded person won't believe it at all.

Yes, I have been treated as an object, just like you have as well. Had a couple of men treat me like a trophy, not bragging, just making a statement. They were controlling, possessive, and this was before cell phones were readily available. So, if I wasn't sitting at home waiting for them to call, I was in big trouble. Only ONE relationship got real bad, and I defended myself, got out and told him to leave me alone. Thankfully, when he moved out, he left to go home, which was 4 hours away from where I lived. He tried stalking, but, one call to the phone company, and that stopped too. That man treated me like that because that's exactly how his father treated his mother.

This really wasn't the topic of the post. The subject was "what was our opinions on breast jobs?" I said that men are more visual creatures, because, it's the truth. How can you explain WHY men like porn, usually more so than women? Why is porn usually focussing on the women, their body parts, reactions (as fake as they usually are), and physical attributes? Why aren't the men just as enhanced? Because porn is usually (but not always) geared for & produced for MEN.

I'm in NO WAY saying thet men are the only ones that like to watch porn, because, I know of SEVERAL women IRL, & on this forum, that like and enjoy all sorts of porn, myself included. Please reread my post, and maybe check out the Adult DVDs section, you can see what I mean, and how others really feel on it!

Best wishes to all!!

Hi,

Im going to be straight up here. I have small boobs. Im currently toying with the idea of pumping these bitches up. I love big boobs and want a pair of my own. So I can sneak up on my hubby when he's not expecting it and pop him in the face with them. So I can look down and see some sweet melons busting out of my bra instead of just being a hanger for it LOL. Hey, you only live once, right?

Anyone on here had this done?

Anyone with big boobs wish they were smaller?

Anyone think im a twit?!

Lots of things to think about here. Maybe hubby wont like it? Would this be a great injustice to myself, like objectifying myself or something?

Maybe my head will grow along with....

Just one thought - I don't know if you are done having children, but you might want to check and see whether or not you could still breastfeed children after such a procedure. I suspect not, but I don't know. Regardless of how my breasts look then (or now), that is one experience that I would not have wanted to miss out on. If you are set upon doing it, at least wait until you are done with childbearing.

[ladylove]

NOTE: I was just told you may have decreased sensation in your breast after you have a reduction or an enhancement; and you will not be able to breast feed your babies if you have either surgery. Just thought you should know.

[ToyQueen]

The ability breastfeed after breast surgery depends on where incisions are made, where implants are place, whether or not the nipples are surgically moved,.... There are a lot of factors regarding breast surgery and breastfeeding. Please talk to your surgeon before making a decision. I have seen women who were told they would be able to breastfeed who could never make enough milk. I've seen others who were told they could never breastfeed who could supply some milk to their baby. Please talk to your doctor...

[Serama]

I've had it done. Probably not 100% for all the right reasons, but I'm happy with the outcome since it went well and I haven't had any complications. I don't think I would have ever done it JUST for myself.....so that may be a good thing or a bad thing. What I mean is, you could look at it as -- I shouldn't have done that because I did something not 100% for myself which is not a good thing. OR you could look at it as -- In retrospect I'm glad I went ahead and did it, because everything turned out great and I love the way I look now, and I never WOULD have done it if I hadn't felt that "motivation" from DH.

I did (and do) have all those insecurities that everyone's talked about on this post already. I used to be a "B" cup but after nursing two children, I doubt it was even an A cup anymore. I ended up with a C cup and actually had told the doctor that I wanted to be a D because I'm so tall (5-11) and a C cup doesn't look big at all on me. It actually looks on the smaller side for someone so tall. I did feel terribly insecure because I did notice hubby always looking at boobs, on real people and in magazines and tv and porn. And I felt like the one thing that was MOST attractive to him was the one thing that I didn't have. So yes, that played a big part in it. He never said, "I love huge boobs and I wish you had some" but actions speak louder than words in some situations I think.

I posted to give you a link to a site that has a TON of info on breast augmentation, as well as message boards. This site was invaluable to me when I was considering the surgery and having to make all the choices that go along with it. Hope this helps you...

My husband and I have discussed me doing this. I am not really sure if he likes them as is, but he says if I want to do it, he will find a way to pay for it. I have breastfed 4 children and have pretty much nothing but skin left where my breasts should be. I am a 36AA. I actually have a really hard time finding bras so small. Victoria's Secret only carries a few styles in the store in my size. They do have a larger collection online, but still alot of the time, I will find a bra I love and it won't come small enough.

I am afraid of having the surgery done for many of the reasons pointed out here. I have read about nipple desensitation(sp?) and then what about the scars and having to have then replaced.

I am not so much uncomfortable with my body as I am my body in clothes. It seems that clothes are made for women who are much better endowed than me and everything just hangs on me. So, I am going to look for the silicone breast pads that you put in a larger size bra to enhance your breasts in your clothes and see how that works. I bought a pair that are adhesive, but they are made for my current cup size and are really more of a bra to be worn with backless tops. They were an improvment, but not for everyday wear. If anyone knows where to find the other kind send me some links.

I have had friends who have had breast reductions and enhancements. I asked one of each, and they both have experienced major reduction in sensitivity, but both say they would do it knowing what the $ is.

Have you tried the water bra by ????? I can't remember who makes it.

[LilyElle]

Like AngelKisses, I can tell the story from the other side of the fence, where the grass is supposedly greener. I'm a 34DD (on bad days, 34DDD). I have severe back problems because of it. Now don't get me wrong, I love my boobs. Absolutely freaking love them. My boyfriend's the kind of guy with a lot of close girl friends, and he swears he's never known a woman who enjoys her own breasts as much as I do. When I don't think anyone can see me, I squeeze them, jiggle them, play with them... not sexually, but just because I love the way they feel. However, my back's gotten so bad I may have to take a semester off from school to get my back fixed, because I get spasms so bad I can barely walk. Even though everyone tells me the only permanent fix is reduction, I dig in my heels over it. Boobs can be a wonderful thing. But if you decide to augment, make sure you don't make them bigger than your body can handle. Also, just be careful of how big you make them in general. As some of the other ladies have mentioned, there are so many things you can't wear with big breasts. I have a hard time finding lingerie that I can physically get across my bosom. I have a hard time finding shirts and dresses that fit both my chest and the rest of my body, without looking skanky. And pretty bras for everyday wear? Forget it. I have only one that is pretty and provides enough support to get me through the day, and it cost more than a college budget can really afford ($60+). So think very carefully about this, before you make your decision! And remember that more is not always better!

Good luck, whatever your decision!

A quick edit to correct LadyLove, and to elaborate on what Toyqueen said: you often CAN nurse your children after reduction surgery, you just need to tell them that you want to be able to before you go under the knife. It is very possible to reduce breast size without damaging the mamary paraphernalia, it just requires a slightly different method, so they have to know ahead of time. If your surgeon tells you it can't be done, you need to get a second opinion, because unless you have some underlying medical condition or abnormality, there should be no reason why you shouldn't be able to nurse after breast reduction. Though Toyqueen is right, even if everything goes as planned, there may still be milk production reduction (say that five times fast! lol). You have to talk to a doctor, though, before making this decision.

[cmwise1]

This thread is very interesting. Almost everyone here states that the desire for plastic surgery is to address an insecurity..........but i think you can want and have surgery just because you want to!

I used to examine women with breasts of all sizes. Implants, normal, post-breastfeeding, older (relative, right?), younger, big and little.

You can usually feel implants, but saline ones, the most commonly implanted, are much softer than silicone.

You may or may not have a scar to contend with depending or where the surgeon makes the incision. Talk to her/him about where you would like it..there are multiple possibilities.

Sensation varies and can return after a period of time. Those who have incisions around the nipple can have reduced sensation. Sometimes the whole breast has reduced sensation.

Many women can and do breastfeed after augmentation. Some cannot and some make decreased milk. It can depend on where the incision is made...around the nipple seems to cause more trouble for breastfeeding. Breastfeeding your child is a very precious activity to give up...one can always CHOOSE not to breastfeed.

Many, many of my patients have had implants and probably 1/2 would say they would not do it again. Usually because of complications..the implant moves, scar tissue contracts around the implant, it leaks, etc. No one ever said they were unhappy with the way they looked. Most of the happy ones wish they had gone bigger!!!

Try the size you want to be...buy a C or D cup and stuff it. Put on a sweater or form fitting shirt. Do you like what you see? Would you like it being naked? Wear it for a day...go shopping or out someplace new...see how you feel.

Sometimes you want something just because you want it...not because you are insecure. Breasts are beautiful..big, little, huge, tiny..........

My husband and I have discussed me doing this. I am not really sure if he likes them as is, but he says if I want to do it, he will find a way to pay for it. I have breastfed 4 children and have pretty much nothing but skin left where my breasts should be. I am a 36AA. I actually have a really hard time finding bras so small. Victoria's Secret only carries a few styles in the store in my size. They do have a larger collection online, but still alot of the time, I will find a bra I love and it won't come small enough.

I am afraid of having the surgery done for many of the reasons pointed out here. I have read about nipple desensitation(sp?) and then what about the scars and having to have then replaced.

I am not so much uncomfortable with my body as I am my body in clothes. It seems that clothes are made for women who are much better endowed than me and everything just hangs on me. So, I am going to look for the silicone breast pads that you put in a larger size bra to enhance your breasts in your clothes and see how that works. I bought a pair that are adhesive, but they are made for my current cup size and are really more of a bra to be worn with backless tops. They were an improvment, but not for everyday wear. If anyone knows where to find the other kind send me some links.

Victoria's secret has them! they look like chicken cutlets! I have them, I use them if I have some formal event. They are pretty good. Here's the link:

My sister is also a AA and has taken to buying her bras in the junior section. They have some more elegant ones as well as some "fun" colored ones. She does very well in Target, if you have one by you!

I had NO IDEA they had them here! and they are cheaper! FYI those look pretty much the same as the VS ones! Although they may be a little smaller...

I am a very small, framed girl. I have a "larger" chest for someone of my size and stature. I've always wanted a reduction, but I've learned to just accept the fact it's what I have.

In terms of cosmetic surgery, although I have NEVER gotten my boobs done. I have gotten both plastic and reconstructive surgery on my nose. I had a severe medical issue and I need to get my nose fixed badly. People sitll to this day, can't even tell I had it done. which is sometimes what makes certain doctors so beautiful. If you decide to do this, it's for YOU no one else. If it's something you want, and you find the right doctor. go for it. I feel so much better about myself [health wise and looks] it was the best money spent. My point is, if you decide to do it, find a doctor who is reputable [sorry spelling lol]. That way, when you get it done, not only will you be satisfied, but they will still look natural. Surgery is definitely something you have to think over. Which I can tell you have been definitely cautiously contemplating.

I am very happy with my boobs - I would like to have a 'lift' done however. I am a 38D and that is just big enough for me. If I had smaller boobs, I think (and I can only make a conjecture here) that I would want bigger ones. I PERSONALLY think I would be unhappy if I had smaller breasts than a perky C cup. I like big breasts. I like fake ones too - as long as they don't look too large or like they are gonna pop off!

This is a personal decision. There is a lot to consider - pain, problems, leakage, reasons why you want to do this. I don't think there is anything wrong with getting opinions, but ultimately they are YOUR boobs! Good luck!

My wife has a G cup (forget the band size) and she is like you. Sometimes she wishes that they were a little more perky, but she is ok with the size...well other than sometimes it is a bit of a search for the right bra for her. Although she has found a nice shop with knowledgable staff that can advise her properly. And I for one thank them everytime we are in there up until that point she was wearing illfitting bras even though the "bra expert" at the department store did a fitting. Now when she has the right bra they are perked back up and she doesn't mind putting on lower cut shirts any more when we have an evening to ourself. You won't believe the number of waiters that take a peek.

But even in school, she was one of those girls that at the end of grade 6 she had these little pecks under her shirt then in grade 7 came to school with a C cup. She just blossomed over the summer.
