breast implants

EIGHT YEARS AGO THE  SUPPOSED 'DOC TO THE STARS' PUT IN IMPLANTS IN ME.... --DOLLY PARTONS--  I went insane and after he forced me to wait 6 months (thinking I'd learn to live with them...) I had them ripped out... (shudda kept them as paper weights)... then I had a LIFT, as I now had two fried eggs on my chest... THEN ... 2 years ago, had implants to MATCH my upper torso.... that means I had what the doctors call a 'gladiator chest', but very little boobs.... my implants actually look like a pancake.... big in circumference, BUT VERY VERY LITTLE IN DEPTH......now the match is fabulous and has given me a new life... when in doubt go for the smaller of the implants, as remember there is a lot of flesh in your real breasts that go in front of them!!

Girls... after gaining and losing 700 lbs. in 25 yrs. I lost and have kept off  125 lbs.... that means I am 5'8" and 137 lbs..., and believe me I've had to do a total revamp with my body after all that flesh expanding and contracting... poor thing.....

msblueyes.....may I ask how big your implants were to get you to a C? Are they saline or silicone?  My doc has recommended silicone, flat round shape and he said they were 300cc (??).  I am just worried I'm going to end up with rather large breasts!  It's OK if I end up a D or a C (prefer C).  Did they reposition your nipple when you had the lift?  Are your breasts "perky" now?  Sorry...so many questions!

I agree, its a very interesting topic.I have never considered implants as my boobs are a doubleD.Which I hate.I oddly enough would like them to be smaller.They are very heavy and not as cute and perky as smaller boobs.

But i have considered liposuction.I think its cool how breast implants can be so positive.Anything that genuinely makes you feel good, or even better about yourself cant be bad.

Just follow doctor's orders... I had them 1 1/2 yrs. ago, and would do it again... not as painful, as rumored... at least that was my experience.... However, crucial to not cheat on doctor's orders... when they do not drive... they dang mean DO NOT DRIVE!

I agree with Kalika. No matter what anyone else says it was the best decision I ever made. From the time I was a young teen, I was teased about itty bitty titties etc...etc... that went on even as an adult. I felt like I got cheated in the boob department. For me personally I did not feel sexy or beautiful. Clothes never fit right, and I was lucky to find a bra that actually fit. I went from an A to a full C/small D. (My Doc actually thought I could go bigger, but I said no). It was the best decision that I ever made. It gave me a real sense of confidence in myself, I feel good about the way I look (in and out of clothes.) I only wish I had listened to the Doc and went the size he suggested. They seem so big when you dont have them then after you get used to them the seem smaller....and thats the biggest complaint I hear from women who have had BA's. They wish the would have went bigger!

I had silicone(gel) anatomical(teardrop). And they are beautiful natural shaped sloped breasts that feel soft. Yes, firmer than a natural breast but still feel great. Ive not had any complaints with how they look or feel!

Different things are important to different people. Personally I would never have eye surgury to correct my vision, the way I look at it, the small chance of something going wrong and ending up blind....is not worth the risk. But I dont criticise anyone who does choose to do it.

Its a matter of personal choice, nobody else can tell you whats right for you.

Yep......... Sounds right to me....... Always safer to be on the small side, than be oversized.... I had a Beverly Hills surgeon put in 'Dolly Parton lookalikes', and I had them ripped out 6 months and one day later..... I downsized and they suit my body much better...

Bambilee I have no idea how roughly your boobs are handled but i do have some idea of how much an implant can take.  I one sitting flat on the doctors desk he said to my then GF, go head, hit it.  She slammed her balled up fist into it.  So unless someone is doing MORE than using your boobs as punching bags, I think you would be fine. 

As for silicon implants, the latest research shows the recall was a knee jerk reaction to one very flawed study.  I beleive the US was the only country to pull them from the market.

Do silicones leak?
Also another question I've had... grabbing them and squeezign them.
I don't know what it is but my breasts are roughly fondled often and one day I was just sitting there thinking, if I had fake ones, could the rough play I so throughly enjoy rupture them?

I've HEARD of this happening, I read that you can't be too incredibly rough on them... is that true? To anyone who has them.

The big thing that I have is the feeling. I dont' care if they look fake. I dont' know a single woman (KNOW) that has fake boobs, so I just dont' know hwo they would feel afterwards and that's whats really pushing me towards a NO-NO.
I'm scared about the feeling, they won't feel right. I've read about them being hard as rocks, and men saying they just dont' feel right. I even watched a program about a woman, going thruogh the process of getting them. And she ran int this one chick who got them done and she was so upset cause they didn't feel like boobs. She was actually letting this the woman (who was saying she WANTED them done) to touch em. The woman who wanted them told the people on the show that she didn't want them now. Because they didn't feel like boobs. They were hard. It's all about the Pros and Cons I guess.

I read something in Star that they are tryign to approve ones you can inflate and deflate. So when you get them and if they aren't the right size you can just stick a tube in em' and deflate or enlarge them. Which sounds good. There is no MAJOR surgery to get them the way you want them.. sounds good. LOL.

I've had silicone implants in 2 years ago.... and I'm thrilled... I have a barrel chest - gladiator chest that is.... and small hips... I looked like a walking ice cream cone... cept I had breasts that did not FIT my chest area.... not the sticking out part, but the circumference part....They were not proportional.... So, I had implants that actually looked like pancakes... They were big and round, but almost flat.....they had to be special ordered..... and now they are proportional to my chest area... No one even thinks that I have implants..... My breasts do not stick out at all.... not more than they did.....
