Don't get implants - I've had it both ways by: Anonymous
I had small firm beautifully symetrical breasts. I know that now, looking at my "before" pictures. But at 26, I decided to get saline implants to increase my breast size because I did not feel womanly enough. I was always a bit insecure about my breast size and had also recently been told by a doctor that I would likely not conceive and this played a role in my emotions and decision to have surgery.
I got pregnant four months after my boob job and what was to be a 36D quickly went to a 36E. They were giant. Sleeping was a problem as they were in the way and they were heavy. After the birth of my daughter, I breast fed with some difficulty for nine months and soon became pregnant again and then breast fed my son. In the course of the two pregnancies I gained and lost over 90 pounds. I got pretty big with the first baby. My breasts went through a lot of changes in size, but they always looked nice but large.
Now, ten years later, my right implant has deflated and I am awaiting surgery. I can't wait to get these things out of me. I am hopeful my breasts can recover to a reasonable extent to avoid a lift. My right breast is already starting to perk back up and its only been a few weeks since deflation. I do not want implants again. I love to be able to feel my chest and feel my partner against me. I just feel healthier.
I have a very striking appearance, tall, thin, with long red hair. While at times I liked having large boobs, they were never really me. I am tired of being objectified, its way overrated. I strongly feel having large artificial breasts has effected my ability to be myself. Once I had them I was self-conscious about them. They looked pretty, very nice, but they felt horrible, stretching my athletic toned and tight chest muscles. I quit cycling because it was nolonger comfortable on my chest. My tennis game suffered because of tight muscles. I finally put down my racquette. My golf swing had a whole new set of obsticles to avoid.
I love to massage my newly appeared right breast and the sensation is returning in my nipple. I can't believe I signed on to a surgery that would jeopardize nipple sensation, put me at unnecessary risk for infection, breast deformity, and an almost certain need for additional surgeries. All of this to please whom? I am divorced from my husband at the time and I can't think of any viable reason a sensible woman would subject herself to such torture and health risks. I was clearly not sensible at the time I opted for breast implant surgery :)
Unless you are seriously malformed or there is a health risk, there is no reason to have surgery on your breasts.
You will give up so much more of yourself than you will ever gain.

Find something sexy about yourself by: Anonymous
I know what you mean. When my husband and I first started to date, he actually made the comment to me that his boobs were bigger then mine(I am a size 32B). I felt so horrible I had just got to the point where I felt good in my own skin and felt sexy. Then like you said come to find out his last two girlfriends had atlest a size D, so then I felt worse. So I started to take and do everything the massage all the pills and stuff and nothing ever worked and I even thought about implants. After 3yrs of being together I am starting to feel better however I still don't feel all that sexy. But like everyone said you got to get to that point where you feel good in your own skin. So when I start to feel bad I tell myself...hey you can always buy bigger boobs, but you can't buy long legs!! Your boobs don't have to be the only thing people find sexy.
