Are you happy you did it?Any regrets?

How do your breasts feel?

Did it enhance your confidence?Sex life?shopping experience?

Any stress about something going wrong medically with the implants?

Would you do it again ?

Am debating just doing it and would love to hear your responses.

Thanks

I had a breast augmentation because I felt insecure. I don't have many insecurities but that was a huge one. I felt so boyish with a flat chest and that really bothered me. I don't have any regrets about it, even though they do look and feel a bit fake, because it banished my insecurity. I'm not sure if I'd have done it just because I had small breasts, but in my case I was boy flat and that was the determining reason. Yes I would do it again because being so flat justified the drastic step of the BA.

Thank you for responding

I agree with you on the insecurity thing.

how big did u go,like from flat to ????

Do they look real fake or feel real fake?

Are u happy with the size or would u have gone bigger or smaller?

and lastly did your nipples stretch or look huge?

Because I started from boy flat I went no bigger than a B cup. For this reason they do not look too fake. They do look a bit fake but it isn't too obvious. In a bikini I don't think anyone ever suspects that they are fake. The implants are hard though, so they don't feel like breasts would usually feel.
I'm happy with the size, because I think any bigger would look really fake on me, so for size I think I made the right decision.
The areolas are stretched yes, I don't think there was any way of avoiding that, but it isn't too bad and hasn't concerned me.

Sharon,
I hope you see this and respond. I am also boy flat and aged 54. I have been totally flat my whole life, except for nursing. Now, I am again flat as a board. I have been on 5 surgery consults, all to have implants under the muscle and no bigger than a size A or small B. I have been told that I will feel the implants and see the outline, but that otherwise, they will look pretty natural.
Somehow, I fear what the result will be despite what the surgeons say. When I lie on my back, there is just thin skin. There is absolutely NO breast tissue. How will I not feel the total outline of the implant? That is what scares me the most. I am constantly thinking of my flat chest, can never wear anything other than baggy clothes or blouses with pockets, and I am so self-conscious that I don't even want to go out and get a job. What will I wear every day?
Did you have silicone or saline? I will opt for silicone if I go ahead, under the muscle. However, I really worry that the feeling and sight of the implants (by me) will negate the whole surgery, and I will just feel like a fake and hate the look of them. Yet, this is affecting my entire life, even at this age.
Any advice?

I had silicone because that was recommended for the more natural looking result and I also had tear drop shape implants. Did any of your consults deal with the tear drop shape? That might be better for you but always choose with care because the type of implants you go for can make a big difference. Of course you're always going to feel the implant no matter what. I think that part of it is unavoidable.

I had implants because of insecurity (I used to cry every time i returned home from an underwear shop) and it affected my life in a very unnatural manner. Low self esteem and hatred etc.

I had surgery at the tender age of 21 going from a 34A to a 34C and feeling ecstatic and at teh top of the world. My insecurity vanished and after many years I've realised how silly I was to feel so trapped and insecure. I am hopefully going later this year to have the implants removed. they look fine but feel horribly fake and I'm actually terrified of what state my breasts will go back to.

However, if they retract to a relatively normal state I think padded bras and chicken fillet inserts will keep me going. I wish I'd never had the implants done but at the same time I would NEVER have reached this place mentally if I had not had it done. Therefore I dont' regret it too much. We live in a society which is OBSESSED with large breasts and so what coudl a psychologist have told me to make me accept that I was "normal"?

Although I have reached this place and would wish that I could convince a younger me to never go for such an operation, I still reserve the right to have surgery again in the future if my self esteem ever hits the regions it used to be in.

I think the fact we still have sex symbols such as kate moss or kate hudson who are admired and desired with their tiny breasts means we need to teach our daughters to feel comfortable in their skin and to know their sexuality is not linked to the size of their bodies but how their bodies experience life.

And having surgery cuts away at nerves which help you feel and experience life. Some people more and others less. In my opinion you should only have surgery if youy cannot think straight and can't find your way to thinking straight about yourself and your body. I've been there and I know what it means but I would also want to convince the younger me that its not needed.

in response to sk i can totally understand what u are saying about insecurity and feeling good about yourself but at the same time i am just so confused about doing a ba.what if u dont feel good about yourself in clothes and we only live once and life is so short.i am 45 and who knows how long any of us have got left.why not live this life happily, i know its not all about body but this is getting me so down and depressed .i dont know what to do

To SK, thanks for your valued testimony. It's really useful to read what you said. And to lk, since you are tempted to have a BA, what is the factor which is holding you back from going ahead with it?

going under a general anaesthetic scares me and what if the end result loooks so fake has anyone read the article on fake boobs in todays daily mail very interesting
