I've been thinking, and wanting to get breast implants. Before I was going to do it 4my boyfriend, but now I'm doing it for me. It would really help my self esteem. But I don't know if right now is the right time. I have a 1year old daughter, and later on in life, I would want 2have another baby. I don't know if I should wait until my next child ( wich I'm planning to have in years from now) or just do it now. And to women that already have breast implants, do u loose your nipple sensation? Bsides this, how good do you feel about your implants? Do they look and feel real? And have you regret getting them? Please help me, I would really appreciate some advice!

Hi LuvElina,
I'm in the process of having a breast lift with implants. I have had two children and now am done. I think you should wait to do this procedure if your planning on having another baby. I'm not sure why you want implants, if its for size than definitely wait, because once you have your second or maybe third child, you breast will change again. As far as the nipple sensation goes, it can do one of three things, stay the same, loose sensation, or become overly sensative. The % of women stay the same as I have been reading. My feeling is as long as your perky, just wait, this seems to be what men are more interested in, the perkiness, for the most part size doesn't matter to them as much as it matters to us. I hope I helped at least a little.

I'm 21, so I want to be able to feel good about myself. I'm doing it for the size, their still perky. But the volume has changed. If I get implants now, after I have another baby, do u think I'm a have to get a size bigger then b4? I'm thinking yes. Thank u for that information, it makes me think.
I had implants in 1981 .. they were saline .. thank god .. cos the doc managed to rupture one when he tried to crack the hard shell (scar tissue) that had formed inside a year after surgery. He then had to replace. He replaced with saline and silicone on both sides. Following day I had such pain in one .. turns out it was bleeding inside. It was hard and red .. what agony! Back to surgery to open 'again' and drain it. After that they remained on the hard side and I could never lie on my stomach or hug my hubby and kids comfortably (they got in the way being hard .. they didn't seem to 'give' like natural ones ). Over the years I had symptoms of ME (not sure why) .. eventually I decided they are not healthy anyway and asked my doc to remove them. So he did. Since the initial op I have had no sensation in my nipples or the surrounding area (about an inch and a half in diameter from the nipple) .. totally numb .. could stick a pin in and feel nothing .. and they are still like that even though the implants were finally removed for good in 1991. I don't think it is healthy to have those things in .. but each to their own :)
