I didn't vote since I'm male, but I would say that I prefer all natural except in the case of a corrective surgery (ie one is bigger than the other). However, my wife is saving up for a breast lift - not exactly the same but pretty close. We're worried about loss of sensitivity, but I know she's feel a whole lot better. Unfortunately, gravity is not kind to DD's...
Would you ever consider getting breast implants to improve your self esteem
12/01/2010
I have considered it. I think I may wait a couple of years, until atleast 21, to make a decision.

I would not get breast implants to boost my self-esteem. I like boobies in a variety of sizes. But, my breasts were bigger when I was younger. I lost weight and they never grew back. I feel my figure is more "balanced" when I wear a lightly padded bra, and it would be nice to have the look without that. Without the padded bras, I am not exactly embarrassed. If I could have a free surgery, I wouldn't do it. So many factors. I dislike doctors seeing and handling my body unless I must let them. Surgery scares me. I like natural feeling breasts. And putting money into an industry that makes people wonder if their breasts, labia, noses are unattractive isn't what I'd like to do. BUT! If I could wave a magic wand and get just one size bigger--no more--maybe. I cannot answer yes/no to this one!

I have DDs so nope. But when I'm older and they start dragging, I'm totally okay with getting a lift, but just a slight lift, nothing creepy to make me have 20 year old boobs and 1 60 year old body
12/05/2010
No, I don't think I would.
12/05/2010
Not unless I had to have a breast removed or something.

I wouldn't get a breast implant unless I had to have a mastectomy.
I would prefer fake boobies to no boobies at all.
I suppose that would still be for self esteem reasons

I don't necessarily think surgery is the right way to improve self-esteem. I think you should work on your self image first and then if you still want implants, go for it.
02/01/2011
I have Ds and I would never ever want to be bigger My self esteem is fine and I don't think surgery is necessary to help self esteem.
02/01/2011
I don't really have a problem with any form of plastic surgery it bother me that some people feel like its absolutely necessary and deem others unattractive for not having certain traits

I know I would love a good lift, but I don't think I'm beyond going up a cup size or two. I don't so much care what others think of me, but I'd like to be happy with what I see in the mirror. It does a lot more for my self-confidence to like what I see than getting compliments from others.

I dont think having part of your body being fake, and worrying about all the health risks that come along with it. Not only the fact that they could leak, but being top heavy and causing back problems and straining muscles that are not use to that much weight up top. Personally im a 36D, and i want to have them reduced because of all the back and neck pain i experience. I know i would miss them, but i would rather be smaller and have less pain then have them the size they are and deal with the pain the rest of my life.

Out of all of the implant surgeries I have ever seen in my life, there are two that looked "natural" and anything less is unacceptable in my mind. I wouldn't risk the scars, the loss of sensation, the potential side effects if the muscles retear during the healing process and well...any of it really. I'm fine with my small breasts and encourage others to do the same.
My only exception to the rule is if I were a cancer survivor who needs reconstruction.

This is going to seem - odd. I'm using my aunt as an example. She got breast implants at 60+ years old - which I found curious. She's very focused on appearing young and having very firm breasts may have been part of that struggle.

I have no problem with her choice - she's now 70 and struggling with arthritis - I just hope her implants didn't contribute to the onset of her disease.
Any plastic surgery - from botox to lipo to nose jobs or breasts - people have their own personal motivations which should be respected.
02/02/2011
Definitely not. I am a 38C and to me that is just right. I would never want to go any bigger than a D for sure. I feel comfortable in my own skin and I would never have a surgery done for the soul purpose of having porn boobies, although I respect every womans choice to do what she feels- I know women who have had both reduction and implants and all for their own reasons.
02/05/2011
Frankly speaking, I used to have such thoughts from time to time... Until recently I had to undergo an operation on one of my breasts. Now everything is great and my new scar is going to be small and neat, but I can't imagine myself undergoing any surgery at my own will anymore.
Also, changing your body will never change your attitude towards yourself. Once you improve something this way, you'll start hating some other part, and it'll never stop.

I would never want implants in case they messed with boob sex!

Please, girls don't say I'm a C or DD as if it mattered something. D or C is not a size. 30C, 34D, 28C, 36G is. And girl who has 36C has larger breast (in volume) than 28DD girl.
I hated my breast before I got properly fitted. I lost >20 lbs and for two years my breast didn't recover one bit. I changed 34C for 30F and after a couple of months they regained the shape form before! I'm totally average, 26 inches under, 36 in the bust. I wear 30F or 28FF.
Bad bras don't do their job - they don't prevent sagging like they are supposed to. If the cups are too small they even damage the shape of the breast pushing the fat under the arms or to the back.
So no cutting for me. Just good bras.

Thanks for the input. Those letters are, in fact, sizes. Cup sizes, to be precise. The number is for the band. I suspect the ladies keep that number to themselves to prevent people from forming opinions about their weight.

I was made the way I am. If I didn't feel comfortable in my own skin I personally think Id feel even less comfortable with 2 new foreign objects embedded in me. And, that whole cutting open thing sounds uncomfortable as well.
02/13/2011
I'm just a guy, but I have to confess I'm very saddened that that many woman would consider this.
02/25/2011
I could see having some sort of reconstructive surgery, but I would not do it just for aesthetic reasons. I agree, a good bra can do wonders and that's where I'll stop.

No... way too big in that department already.

No I wouldn't get breast implants for any reason. Back when I was in say middle school I actaully did want them, for self esteem reasons, but not anymore.
03/16/2011
That is exactly why I got mine. I got mine to proportion my body, not just to have big boobs. I was a very very saggy A cup, a hideous sight. I mean it looked like two socks with rocks in them. So I got them for my self esteem and it has improved greatly. I'm now a 34C. I wouldn't take them back for anything in the world.
04/05/2011
I'm one of those people who doesn't want large breasts, so I totally would not want implants!
07/27/2011
I'm a DD so I would love to get that augmentation where it gives you slight lift, but no adding to what I got haha
07/29/2011
hell no, lol
