Dear Ladies Thank you for sharing all this information especilly about a topic so private. I am a married man in my 40's and my wife has nice breasts,we both enjoy them.As one of the writers wrote (name I cant recall) As a women becomes older the breast tend to droop.We both thaught about a lift or an implant.What steered us away from it in truth,was the suregons own web sites.
I f you go to them they are very detailed with before and after pictures,and they are going to show the best pictures.Even with that we could'nt find a dramatic difference. They also disscussed the surgery in great detail and make no mistake it is surgery.The scars take up to6 months to heal,somtimes they never heal. Bras dont always fit the new breast (allthough they are working on that) but what really turned us off as Uzma mentioned "breast are used sexualy more often than feeding childeren in a lifetime." Thats true, but the surgeon own web site said the patient will have a loss of sensitivtey in the breast,and some even experience total,and irrevesible numbness in the breast. That was enough for us to say if it isnt broke do'nt fix it. If it improves a womens self esteem,or to correct a defomity there nothing wrong with it. It's a personal choice thoe I dont think anyone should critisize,anyone else for it.But for us the risk outweighed the benefits.One other thing the surgeon site said if you lift the breast (women over 40) the results are only temporary. I dont think a women should do it casualy,if its done get all the facts. Joec

make sure your dr. is a certified plastic surgeon by asking. my plastic surgeon was tripple certified. because he also does reconstruction surgery. what i did was go through the phone book and called for information about the drs. when i recieved there imformation i was quite impressed that the one dr. was not just certifed but trippled. certfied i knew to go with him. my advice would be check out both drs. by going and having a consultation with them. my dr. had pictures to see what he he did. it really put me at ease. believe me fo my consultation i was so nervous!
Thank you so much for responding, just talking about it with someone who has done this before makes it a little easier to think about.
How do I check out the Dr.? Where did you get your info on the Dr. you chose? There are 2 places around here I'm considering and both of them are members of the plastic surgery assoc. but that's all I really know.
Again, thanks for answering my questions. One consultant I spoke to at one of the Dr's office did suggest going ahead with bigger ones as she said the same thing you did that women usually wish they'd gone bigger.

also twanda you mention earlier in a post you were worried about complications. if you find the right dr. there should be none. that's why i so stress to find a very good dr.
After my breasts were stretched to twice their size while pregnant and then inflated and deflated with milk for nursing, I'm seriously considering breast implants. No more pregnancies are planned and I'm ready to be firm again. Do you have any advice to give me? I also have a few questions to ask.
How long have you had implants? How long does the pain from the surgery last? When does the swelling go down? I don't want to return to work from a few days "vacation" with huge breasts. I only want to go from a "B" to a "C" (maybe small "D"). How did you decide what size?
I bought a padded bra and it does make a difference in the way I look. I kind of have an idea of what size I would like to be from what size I liked when I quit nursing and my breasts still had some milk. Thank you for opening this thread and offering your expertise. Anything you can tell me that would help would be most appreciated.
Thank you, Twanda
hi twanda on your first question i've had implants since 98 so 4 years. the pain for me only lasted for about 3 days. each person is different though. the swelling honestly i can't remember but your dr. wll go over it how long the swelling last. i do have advice to give go for the D cup. once the swelling goes down and stuff you may wish you have gone bigger if you go with a C CUP. BUT YOUR DR WILL GO OVER WHAT SIZE IS BEST FOR YOU [sorry left the caps on] one of the biggest complaints from women is they wish they have gone bigger. my final advice is please research your dr.! if you have more questions please feel free to pm me

I'll probably never get breast implants, but it is tempting. I'm short and petite with breasts about right for my size, but it would be fascinating to have larger breasts; a Barbie doll type of figure; ...average hips, little waist, big breasts. I think every woman dreams of having that sort of figure.
Monica, from the photos I've seen, you're a gorgeous woman. Not that my opinion matters, but if I had a vote, I would have said, leave your breasts alone.
thank you for the compliment gord maybe i'll cut my har intead [ just kidding gord i love long hair as much as you] i already have implants. i have for many years.
I know a woman who has had breast implants and it's fairly common knowledge. Unfortunately, despite success in college and in the business world, she's known as "you know, that woman who had the breast implants." I work with another woman who used to be a topless dancer and guess what everyone thinks of her? Another woman started getting tattoes when she turned 40 and she's got 7 of them so far. Instead of the department director, she's known as that goof with all the tattoes. Three women in the last four months or so had that stomach-reduction surgery. Two were very open about it; one tried to keep it a secret, but it quickly got out. One of the women who was very open about it has been in the hospital at least a half-dozen times since; she told me she's not doing very well. I know it's not strictly a woman thing, but women seem to care about enhancements more than men do.
I guess to each his or her own. Personally, I believe God made each of us in his own likeness. Why screw with it?

To add my .02 worth to an already long topic, I have seriously thought about it, but decided even a small complication wasn't worth it. The reason I originally wanted implants was to firm back up after pregnancy and nursing. They're just never the same after they've blown up to a DD and shrunk back down to a B. It has been 9 years and they've improved some, but just not what they were.

From a man's perspective.. I really don't think I want to be with a woman with implants... Although I have always been attracted to women with large breasts I don't think I'd like to know it's not natural.
But I've never been with a woman that had implants so just conjecture....
Change is good for the soul and fun to talk about!
One way or another, the thought of this operation is disgusting to me.
i think any operation is disgustion i had an operation when i was 7 on my foot to walk better. they took one bone and moved it to the other side. that to me grossed me out. i know that's not you point that operations are all gross. i'm trying to make a point though. people loss the whole point of my thread. it was to was to inform women who made a personal choice to have breast implants or thinking about it, to give them correct information. or to share experiences. instead this thread got turn into women having low self esteem or breastfeeding. would you say alssa milano has low self esteem? to me no. she looks like a self cofident women.
I'd be really grossed out to have a wife who's had her breasts worked on. If you're hoping to attract guys with your implants, you're probably going to attract the wrong kind of guy (likely a macho, shallow type who sees you as little more than a sexual object.
with all do respect that is your opinion. would you have a wife that is selfconcious of the way her breasts look that she would not let you see? tv and hollywood gave implants a bad rap. now a day just your averge jane gets implants to make their breasts look better to them. i'm married and ironically my husband is not really a boob guy. by no means he sees me as ''sex object''. he's not shallow ethier. many people i know have gotten their breast done after getting married and having kids.
