Thoughts on breast implants...

[TallGlassOfSarcasm]

There's often a casual attitude by the implant industry towards women both in terms of advice and their product safety. A German company was found in 2021 to have been negligent in awarding a safety certificate to a type of implant linked to autoimmune diseases and that were more likely to rupture.

I only know one woman who has implants. So my sample size is limited.

She loves them. But they seem like a pain in the ass.

She can't lay down on her chest. They are prone to rupture. One did rupture and she had to have surgery again to fix it...which apparently is just as uncomfortable the 2nd time.

Again.... she is happy with them and accepts the tradeoffs for the way she looks. But for me (someone who doesn't have boobs and has no idea what daily life is like with natural boobs) it seems like more trouble than it's worth.

Of course some people love boats too. And they spend 10 hours cleaning and repairing their boat for every hour then spent on the water enjoying the boat. And they are as happy as can be. So whatever.... it none of my business. I am glad the boaters and breat implant havers are happy. Lord knows I have my own things I work hard to be able to enjoy where other people think I'm nuts.

 

[TallGlassOfSarcasm]

One other thing I'll add....

If you see a woman with breast implants and you don't like them.....shut the fuck up.

And if you see a smaller chested woman and think she needs to get breast implants.... shut the fuck up harder.

Appreciate her how she is right now or move the fuck along.

Mature woman, yes, but I'm thinking more of younger ones and teens or those who may be susceptible to peer pressure. Besides, I think that doubts that take root in our younger years can persist and need to be confronted later in life when ones perspective is (hopefully) less inward looking. It's those women who need better advice, but it doesn't need to be finger wagging from people with opinions rather than facts. I think we're on the same page there.

I think it is entirely appropriate to highlight the pressures and expectations that could affect a woman's thinking, whether she is mature or not. It is equally appropriate to highlight other risks and considerations and ask honest challenging questions. What I take issue with is presuming that insecurity resulting from those external pressures is the primary motivation and/or judging it to be the only possible motivation for contemplating implants. Presumption and judgment diminish the points being made.

Consider two possible approaches. One could say "Given the nature of all the external pressures women face regarding our bodies I think it is important to consider whether that could be a factor in your thinking. And if it is, how do you feel about that?" The same approach can be taken for any consideration. The perils of getting implants to impress a man or the health considerations with implants or any other concern can be raised in an open and honest way that prompts thought but doesn't imply judgment. Alternatively one could say "I don't know why you would want to do that." In the process you will have disparaged the person's motivation without giving them anything useful to think about.

I had unexpected free time today (my school closed down after about an hour this morning because of a water leak in a bathroom -- and we had some pissed parents too). So, I read a little more on the "gummy bear" implants. Nope. Not for me. I mean, I saw some great before and after pics, and I thought they looked and felt great in the woman I was with, but I also read some horror stories.

This may be in the wrong forum, but it probably works as well as any other.

I am a small breasted woman who from time to time seriously thinks about implants, and right now is one of those times. How small am I, you ask? I am going to resort to the "cup" size description, even though it is wildly inaccurate as cup size is a relative function of band size, not an absolute measure, and my actual cup size for my band size is different than the generic cup size scale most people use to discuss breast size rather than bra sizing (by the way, the cup size scale most people use to discuss size appears to be based on the 34 or 36 band sizes). Anyhoo, let's say I'm bigger than an 'A' and smaller than a full 'B'. Or we could say less than a handful. For me to achieve any real cleavage requires a torture device bra (although to be fair, I tried one on a few weeks back that was not very torturous and gave me about two cup size increase in appearance as well as some actual cleavage -- I almost bought that one). Thus, from time to time, I ponder implants. I would never go really big, but maybe a cup size and a half to get me to a full generic 'C'. And the fullness is as important as the size for me.

So, what are some thoughts on breast implants? Do you like women with them? Do you think they are disfigurements? Do you think they feel weird or off-putting (the ones I have felt were... different -- not off-putting to me, but it would take some getting used to; to be fair, it was just feeling -- I was not intimate with any of the women whose augmented breasts I have felt)?

If you have implants, do you like them? did they desensitize your breasts/nipples? Would you do it again knowing what you know? How large did you go and would you do that different?

Anyway, thank in advance for keeping your responses respectful and courteous.

Always do what will make you happy in this regard. However my personal opinion is yes small breast can be cute and nice even look good on a petite woman. Yet larger breast are nice and more fun. Implants can be great if done right, like anything in life you get what you pay for. I love enhanced breast and sounds to me that a full C would look fantastic on you.

My boobs are big enough and I have no desire to make them larger but in time I may need to get a little nip and tuck to bring them back UP!! lol

My wife is in the same boat so I was supportive on whatever she wanted although wasn’t real fond of the idea. We met with 2 drs and left feeling like it would be a good thing. After much research we discovered breast implant illness and all the crap and problems many women were dealing with. I told her absolutely no that it’s not worth it. Read into it if you haven’t. I myself love little perky boobs

I had small A cups but great sensitive nipples and I wanted to get implants to a small C for better proportion. Worried about losing nipple sensation a lot. At age 36 went to a female plastic surgeon and told her my concern. She told me that was a major worry for her as well and was like me a very small A cup. Her breast looked good but not over sized and she told me that her sensation went down for a few months but then it returned. she even got a bit "naughty" and told me her husband and her now could "titty fuck" and she loved it!! So I had small C Cups and they look and feel great. My nipples were kind of numb for two or three months though but now are back to normal. And I like titty fucking too now!!

The loss of sensation is my major concern over any plastic surgery. I had my head cut open 30+ years ago (long slice in the back), and it took a long time - decades - to get sensation back. Good to hear your sensation returned! OP, I hope you enjoy your decision, whatever it is!

Good grief...

They're just breast implants. If you want them, get them. If you don't want them, don't get them. The surgery has become so advanced and commonplace, it's routine. There are a gazillion women all over the world with implants who have no problems...just nice fitting clothing and a lot of appreciative looks. And if there is a guy out there who doesn't appreciate full breasts, I haven't met him.

Society is going to judge you no matter what you do. Be true to yourself. It's the only way to be happy.

 

[rjhsteel]

Are there examples of good natural looking implants? I love natural big breasts but have not really seen a good looking implant.

Another male POV, more from the practicalities of the experience over a long time.

Wife was 34B/C (depending on the bra manufacturer) when we first got together. They were perfect. Amazing even. Before meeting my wife, I had a "type": generally thin/athletic (or better, thin through the waist with wide hips/ass). Because my sport self-filtered for this body type, many girls I dated were pretty flat-chested.

When we started having kids, my wife went up to a 34D+ while pregnant/nursing.

After last kid was weaned, she went to about a 34AA. Like two deflated balloons. She rarely even wore a bra because there was just nothing there anymore. This messed with her head. She came to me less than a year after last kid stopped nursing and we talked about getting her boobs "back to where they were." She got saline implants (silicone was then still banned), which put her back to 34B/C range. The doctor used the areolar incision method. Her enhanced boobs have always looked fantastic, though they are obviously implants. She still looks fantastic now, in her late forties, after all those years. HOWEVER...

(1) She has since gotten big into a specific fitness routine where her enhanced bustline gets in the way, and has begun musing about getting them removed.
(2) She has always had a difference/change in nipple sensitivity due to the areolar incisions, which changed forever our approach to sex.
(3) She has had her implants so long now that she has dents in her rib cage that are likely permanent. It is unlikely she will have the implants removed even if she wanted to get rid of them because she would be left with a caved-in chest.

She and I have talked about this. We agree, generally, that we wished she had either (a) not gotten implants at all, or (b) waited a few more years between the end of child-rearing and the surgery. Why wait? to see whether her subsequent super-healthy lifestyle would have resolved some of her body-image issues, and to see whether her boobs would have re-inflated(?) some over time on their own.

Hope this helps. Sorry if it does not!

Don't do it....they look and feel odd.... your small pert breasts are beautiful xx

 

[Ramone45]

I think cosmetic breast enlargement is very bad. I would have zero interest in a woman who enlarged her breast with silicone or saline for cosmetic purposes. My wife is flat as a pancake and she is irresistible.

 

[smoothwiener]

I prefer a small natural to a large fake .

However cosmetic surgery to correct major issues I have no fault with.
Just not bigger for the sake of bigger.

 

[Idic]

Just remember, larger breasts are a larger weight out front. I have a friend with large, natural breasts which she can't stop complaining about the pain they give her. She is waiting on getting them reduced. The other thing to note is that while implants may look great with clothes on, they often look strange and fake with clothes off. Be certain that it won't be a big turn off with whoever you are with.

Monday I was out shopping because lots of places had sales. I found this awesome dress I liked. It had a fitted bodice, which is a look I like, but it just didn't look good on me. It would have with a bit more chest to fill it out. And that's when I want to get implants. Not when I'm having sex. Not when I want to show off or get attention. I can accomplish both of those no problem with what I have. What I can't do is look as good as I want in some of the clothes I like. And that's the thing a lot of guys don't seem to get. For me, it's not about sex or even attracting people/showing off. It's wanting to be able to wear things that I think are cute but just aren't made for smaller breasted women. And yeah, I know women with large breasts also have issues with clothes not fitting and I shouldn't complain, but I wanted that dress... at least until I tried it on and realized it made me look like a girl wearing a woman's dress.

But is looking better in that dress worth not being as desirable to your lover when that dress is off and he/she is turned off by breasts which aren’t natural?

 

[DarkSollat]

I don't think breasts implants are a good solution, unless there is something seriously wrong with your breasts... and small size isn't wrong at all.
All boobs are beautiful. Also, they're not the only "source" of beauty of a female body. Hips, belly, legs, shoulders etc. - they all matter. What I mean by that, if you have a nice legs e.g., you don't really need big boobs.

 

[Shi_One81]

As someone very large breasted I can tell you I’d do anything to have smaller breasts. I hope to save enough to someday get a reduction and lift.

 

[lil_jenni]

That's a pretty big presumption there. Having myself been with a woman with gummy style implants, I can assure you they did not in any way turn me off.

But if that were the case, so be it. Give me a moment, and they'd forget all about my breasts. Hell, back in my hook up days in college, I had several guys make comments about my size that really weren't flattering, but they seemed to no longer care once things got started. Like I said, I'm not worried about sex.

Yeah, I wouldn't want that large either. A cup size more and some fullness (I lost some of that after pregnancy) would be nice, though.

I know you mean well, but this is so not the point. This may come off as very conceited, but I'm an attractive woman and I know I am. Sure, I'm not going to be everyone's cup of tea (who is?), but I never had any problem attracting men when I wanted to. I'm talking about wanting to be able to wear clothes I want to wear. It's not about attracting men or women or any of that. It's not about sources of beauty. It's much more personal than that.

Sorry. You were probably responding more generally than I took it. It just gets frustrating to have my concerns dismissed because someone else doesn't understand them. And you probably were not doing that and didn't deserve my snarky response.

You are right. I didn’t mean to be presumptuous. I meant to say would looking better in a particular piece of clothing be worth the possibility of some of your lovers being turned off by artificial breasts.

 

[Mnkinkcpl]

What I find sexy is a woman who is happy with their body and the confidence that comes with that.

Not trying to brag but I have been with more women than average, and I have seen the transformation that can come with either a breast enhancement a breast reduction or a lift. It really is all about what makes them happy.

I see a lot of guys here commenting on what they like. Guess what, it really isn't about you!

Just to be clear I have played with real, enhanced where you can tell and enhanced where unless you were told you wouldn't have a clue. They are all fun.

Jenny if a bit larger breasts will make you happy and more confident then I say go for it.
