Your Thoughts on Breast Augmentation

If you're really unhappy then I'd say go for it. I wouldn't rule it out myself...but its the only type of cosmetic surgery that I could imagine myself considering one day.

You're not daft so you know to do your research with regards to surgeons, aftercare etc

I think if you were really unhappy and you think this would help then I wouldn't try and dissuade you (as long as you'd done the proper research!).

However, if you are planning on more children (I don't know if you are and you don't have to share) would it not be better to wait until you were done?

Personally it wouldn't be for me (even though mine are tiny for my frame) because I just can't get out of my head that its an unnecessary procedure I.e. not for health reasons

I wouldn't be bothered by a boob job - mine are holding up OK (at the moment). But I don't have an issue with cosmetic surgery in general.

Yeah my aunty works closely with some of the best surgeons in the country so she has made recommendations. I don't know how much it would cost though and whether I'd even be able to afford it. I'm guessing it's about £4k in which case I have a lot of saving to do before I could actually go for it.

I bet that if mens c0cks shrunk to nothing after they became fathers, then an operation to correct it would be standard NHS stuff. ?

I can't ever imagine me having cosmetic surgery but I also understand those that do especially those with confident issues.

I agree with Holey though Panj, are you thinking of having anymore children? if not, then go for it, so long as you've researched well.

Unless some bizarre turn of events occurs then no, I won't be having more kids.

Like I said, I've got a lot of saving to do if I decide to go ahead with it and I suppose that also gives me time to get used to my new horrid boobs so i could end up changing my mind (unlikely).

I was moaning about my boobs while I was on holiday and I complimented my friend on her fab boobs and she told me she'd had hers done when she was 20 (a few years before I met her). I was completely shocked, I had no idea, they looked so natural. I know quite a few people who have had it done so I'll be asking for their advice too.

Don't get me wrong, i'm not looking for big Jordan-esque numbers either. Just a normal pair.

I've been quoted £4450 + £100 for the initial consultation so I am going to have to wait quite a while. They do offer a 0% finance option but the way things are, I don't want to have to commit to spending another £100 every month on top of what we are already spending. We are so stretched as it is.

The other thing that worries me, is that I've lost so much weight, you can see the bones in my chest, I wonder if fake boobs would look REALLY fake? I suppose this would be something to ask in the consultation.

It's not something I could see myself having, although, I never been *really* upset about my body, so if my opinion were to change, or my body was to change post-babies, I'd probably feel differently.

Ultimately, I don't think it matters what anyone else thinks. If it's going to make YOU feel better, then that's all you need care about.

I would.

My boobs have help up well, even after 2 kids, but I wouldn't say no to a bit of an uplift.

H has said he'll buy me some new boobs for my 30th, haha. I have a list of things i'd like done, a boob job is one of the only things he's OK with me having.

His ex wife had them done, and they look quite good.

They have "teardrop" shaped implants now, which look much more natural than the standard round Loaded/Nuts mag-type ones, and they come in a whole range of sizes so wouldn't have to be massive. I don't know details of the surgical techniques but I think there are ways and means of making them look more natural.

It's something I'd certainly consider after having children, but I'll see how I feel when/if that time comes. I imagine my work wouldn't be too sympathetic with me taking a load of time off for it though...

I seriously considered it and saved up for it but then out of nowhere my weight gain gave me boobs. I still don't love them but they're better than they were and it made me realise that they're likely to change again if I'm lucky enough to have children or my weight changes so I'm spending the money on the wedding and am holding it off for a while longer. The whole PIP thing frightened me a bit too. I will definitely do it if I feel the same in a few years so if it makes you that unhappy, go for it. As you say saving gives you the time to think and research

The thought of surgery terrifies me but I might consider it if one day they make it totally 100% safe and painless. I don't really like my boobs as I feel like they are lopsided, though people swear they can't tell, so I'm hoping that if I do have children they will get bigger and even out (and stay big)! H has promised if they end up saggy or smaller etc after kids he would give me the money for it if I wanted it.

If a friend was really unhappy with thieir figure I wouldn't have a problem with it; I would if it was a young girl who was doing it to be a glamour model or something like that.

It's not for me but who are we to make that decision panj. It's your body. If you're that uncomfortable with it and are happy to go ahead with that kind of surgery what's to stop you. If it makes you a happier person its not doing any harm (except to the bank balance!) x

^^ oh sh!t I just put a kiss on te end, thought I was still logged in to MD ? don't outcast me, please!

My surgery wasn't for cosmetic reasons so It's slightly different as I only had one done, but I'm pretty sure once the swelling goes down a bit more most people wouldnt be able to tell the difference between mine unless they saw me naked and saw the scars or copped a feel ?

I think screw what everyone else thinks, if it makes you happy go for it. Be prepared for a few weeks of pain, scarring and swelling but Ive had friends who have had it done for cosmetic reasons and they love them.

There is one Hitcher who has had it done but I wont out her unless she joins in with this.

I've had not had any children, but hoping to have 3 (in an ideal world) and quite like my boobies as they are (except in certain positions)

But if after having my ideal 3 kiddies, their look/feel/shape etc got me down, I'd serious consider augmentation myself

It's not for me at all. I couldn't justify going through unnecessary surgery for cosmetic reasons, after watching so many family members suffer after all different operations I just wouldn't want to go through the experience.

However everyone's obviously different and although it's not for me there are plenty who do so if you want it then that's completely your choice and not for anyone else to judge

Personally I couldn't put myself through the physical trauma of major surgery for something that wasn't a necessity for health reasons, plus I'm far too terrified of having surgery! Maybe that will change after I've had kids though...

My mate H felt the same after her 1st baby. She HATED herself and HATED her boobies. She is really tiny so only had little implants but they are great and look really natural and they totally changed the way she felt about herself. Best thing she ever did. She has since had another baby and they still look ace.

I just think it is such a shock after having perky boobs all my adult life, being unhappy with my weight my whole adult life to suddenly having the body I've always wanted but the boobs of an old witch. Maybe I should spend a bit of time focusing on the positives, like the fact that I can wear skirts and tight clothes without worrying how fat my a$$ and legs are and buy myself some chicken fillets until I've had time to give it a really good think over. My main fear is that something terrible might happen during surgery and my baby girl will end up motherless purely because of my personal vanity.

I never, ever realised how much motherhood would completely change me, body and mind. Every single thought process now involves a huge new dimension and immense guilt!

This is how I feel too. I am anti most procedures like this but due to family/friend experiences I've thought long and hard about possible breast augmentation if breast cancer were an issue for me, and I would definitely consider it, because of the (pereceived - or not) importance of breasts on femininity and self-esteem, so if another reason caused me to feel a similar way I would give it serious consideration.

The same goes for me, pregnancy and breast feeding takes there toll on womens bodies. I quite like my breasts at the moment but l am sure if l was to have children they would look somewhat different afterwards.

I was not at all prepared for how different they are?

If I had the money spare I would do them in a heartbeat.

If they are making you that unhappy panj and you have the means to pay then do it.

This is what I wouldn't be able to get past I think

Panj, what kind of shape are they in at the moment (I don't know what "witch tits are)? Ignoring the difference to how they used to be, do they actually look bad? If they are just small, that might suit your new shape? If they are flat and saggy, that's obviously more traumatic to cope with.....

Tempted to take a picture but I will refrain. I'll draw one instead.

DON'T LAUGH

(I have hair on my head and features on my face but you get the jist!)

I think we have a winner for Flash Of The Year!!!! ? I like that you've prioritised drawing an ear rather than eyes/mouth ?

OK, they might benefit from a bit of uplift. Some chest exercises/press-ups?
