re: Breast implants

No, the only I comment I made towards you was when I said you're full of it. The rest of them weren't directed towards you. I apologize if you took it that way.

When you quoted everything i said and made a response it certainly looks that way.

I was commenting on what you said yes, but not what you said about you.

Ok well my considering my posts were about my experience,what i said was about me. I was speaking for other women and who have gone through various experiences which have led them to get surgery (and specifically breast implants) for significant reasons and not just vanity.My story is just one example for why someone might get implants, just because people dont talk about it doesnt mean that it doesnt happen! In such cases the risks of implants are perceived as minute compared to the previous trauma which we are trying to overcome. (of course this trauma is relative to the person, so even if it is a small issue, it is still about confidence/emotionas and not vanity or impressing others). My pic shows that big unnatural boobs is not always the aim of breast implants.

While I think breast implants may be right for somebody else, they are not for me. I love what I have, so does the hubby.Just think about how silly your perky breasts will look when you are 80. lol.... I'd much rather take the $$$ and spend it on a nice tropical vacation for the hubby and I.

Parts of me wants implants, parts of me dont. More than likely I'll never get them. In highschool I was so flat chested that I didnt even fill out an A cup. It was really embarrassing and I was very insecure. However, I can look back now and see that people still loved me for me and that my boob size had nothing at all to do with it...so I dont think I'll get them done. They're pleasant little C cups now because I'm still breastfeeding but I'm sure they'll shrivel and sag to my belly button. But thats okay.  
If you feel implants are a good choice for you, than I say go for it. However, if you have the size already, why not just get a lift? That makes them perky and pretty, lol.

If my boobs were to go down drastically in size after having children I would definitely get implants. I believe my body would look seriously unbalanced with small boobs, and I don't know if I would be happy with the way I looked. I would definitely wait until I was down having children, because my boobs have gone up a cup and a half since I found out I was pregnant and I'm sure they'll get larger. I couldn't imagine getting implants to only get pregnant again and have abnormally large boobs.

I'm more interested in working with what I have than getting implants. My boobs have gone through some serious size changes during pregnancies and they're pretty deflated and saggy. I'm not entirely sure about putting silicone or another substance in there, especially if they need to be maintained. I'm honestly leaning toward a tummy tuck instead of fixing my boobage- gimme a push up bra and nobody's any the wiser (and my husband doesn't care what they look like as long as he gets a turn with them) but I'm far more insecure about my mom belly.

My friend got her nose done because she thought it was too big and ugly. She was 17 at the time and i supported her choice. I didnt judge her. Now she feels a lot better about herself. I am not knocking anyone who gets plastic surgrey. Thats not how i am. There may be deep personal reasons why someone is getting it done. All i am saying is plastic surgrey isnt for me. I perfer to be all natural. I want someone to love me for the way god made me. This is JMO.

ETA; i had very small boobs growing up. About an a 34-36. I cant remember. That is not very big and compared to most of my friends i was very tiny. By no means are my boobs perfect because there is no such thing but for me i am happy with them now. They are the perfect size for me. Besides im short so..huge boobs just wouldnt look right on me. And i dont consider my boobs to be gross after pumping. I did what god intended my boobs to do. And so be it if they dont look like they did a a few months ago.

exactly why i want them after our final child...while pregnant/breastfeeding, my boobs ballooned up from a b to a big d

I don't know...I don't have the best looking boobs, but they're not terrible. Surgeryseems too risky to me.

I'll probably stick with a wonderbra.  

omgosh, my boobs are soo deflated now. ugh.. i hate it. but, surgery scares me too much. i dont think i could ever do it. I figure I'll just enjoy big boobie fun whenever im pregnant in the future and leave it at that. lol.

Quoting Excited to have 2!!:“ Just understand it's an investment that will have to be re-invested AT LEAST every 10 years if not every 5-7.”

My aunt got hers 15 years ago and she has had no problems and they still look good. Ive had mine for almost five years and I was only told they may have to be replaced eventually, but no certain amount of time.

It seems pretty ridiculous to me for a mom to get put under, cut open, and go through all the risks of major surgery and recovery for something as self-centered and meaningless as boobs, when she very well could be putting those thousands of dollars in something worthwhile- like maybe her child's college education fund.

I think if i do anything, i would rather get a reduction.
My boobs are a cup size bigger than they used to be, which would be all fine and dandy... but now they're DD and all my shirts ride up too high on my belly because of it.
