Considering Breast Implants Posted: 12-04-05 19:08pm
I have been considering getting breast
implants for some time now. Has anybody
out there got them done recently? How
was the pain afterwards? How long did it
take to heal? You you regret it?
I had a baby back in april, and breastfed.
They shrivelled up to nothing shortly
after I stopped but seem to grow back
slowly over time. I am not far from the
size I was, but I hang to ground!!!! (
not really, but you know, there saggy!)
just wanted to make them firm and perky
again, like they were when I was 18.

I really wanted breat implants, untill I
found out you have to pay to get them
redone every 10 years (93% of all breast
implants rupture in 10 years). I will not
get them done unless I know for sure i'll
be able to afford to get them done every
10 years.
Hopefully that will happen one day=)

hey sammy,
i have the same problem that you do. I
breastfed for a year and now I have saggy
breasts. I don't want to have triple d's
but I would like to feel like a woman and
have my breasts more proportionate to my
body.
My sister got breast implants about 6
years ago and she has been very happy with
them. She snapped back pretty quickly
but, i'm sure everyone is different in how
they heal.

Best Thing I've Ever Done Posted: 12-07-05 13:00pm
I had two children and breast fed both of
them so I know exactly how you feel. I
got implants two years ago and I am
completly satisfied, no regrets what so
ever. Do your homework. Make sure you
are getting a doctor w/ years of
experience. I knew a few women who had
the proceedure and used the same doctor
they used. They too were happy w/ this
doctor and totally happy with their new
boobs. I strongly suggest you don't have
the proceedure until you are done having
children. Take care of your boobs
because honestly they are your investment.
Yes very painful afterwards. I had my
proceedure on a wednesday and didn't go
back to work until monday. My husband
was a great help, let people help you. I
slept in a sitting position for a few
weeks and I remember how painful it was
going from a laying position to a standing
position. I was swollen from my neck
down to my waist. I was bruised on my
rib cage (i swear they droped me, ha ha)
and very bruised on the breasts. Be very
patient, do exactly what your doctor tells
you, and listen to your body. I had my
proceedure in april and by the end of may
I was wearing a strapless dress and
feeling great. It is the best thing i've
ever done. My husband is extreemly happy
too.

Sammy,
I got breast implants in july and I
can't even begin to tell you how much I
love them!!! I found an excellent doctor
and had no real pain, more discomfort as
if I had done hundreds of push-ups maybe.
I had surgery on thurs and could have
gone back to work monday if I had a
desk-type job, but as I said, I found a
wonderful surgeon who used a very gentle
technique and had no bruising at all.
I can honestly say that it was the best
decision I made. My only regret is that
I didn't do it sooner. I hardly notice
them now, but I still notice how much more
confident and comfortable I am. And
shopping has never been so much fun. I
started with less than a's and now have
small c's, so just trying on clothes and
having them fit is worth it.
There are risks, and they do need to be
replaced after about 10 years. I'm 23
now, so I figure i'll probably have kids,
breastfeed, and need new boobs in 10 years
anyway *wink*.
Good luck with your decision and feel
free to pm me if you have any questions
about my experience.

hahah...Thats a great story!! I want
them soo bad.. It is just the money$$$.
I want to be able to wear those super cute
triangle bikinis at the beach. I know
that it will boost my confidence level.
I would like to have large c's or small
d's.
