1. How can I talk my husband into me getting breast implants?
I have small B breasts and I am very petite but I really want implants. Not huge ones...just a little bigger than what i have. My husband is totally against this and says he loves me the way I am and he says he likes small breasts and not huge ones, wheather saggy or balloons. I have told him I would get something small and natural looking but he doesn't want me to. I am glad he likes me the way I am but "I" don't like the way I am. I look like a 15 year old and I am 27. I think having bigger boobs would make me more womenly and I have explained this to him but he says no. Anyone have had this problem and how did you get your husband to say ok?

2. I am very petite, 27 years old, 5'0 tall and 85 lbs. and no I am not anorexic. I eat like a pig but don't gain weight. It is genetics but my question is would I be ok getting small implants since I am so small?

Thanks

most of the time, a doctor will ONLY do implants which will suit your body style...if you find a doctor who will put DDs in you, run for your life! Your frame is too tiny to both support it and look good.
I am speaking from experience. I am 40. When I was 32, I talked my "boyfriend" a man who was a sugeon into buying me implants. Im 5'4;; and weigh 100 lbs. Pretty tiny in bone structure...the doc he recommended talked me into going to a very small C cup, which was fine. But I had to go and get other opinons...one actually told me I could go as big as a D and not have a problem. Boy am I glad I didnt do that.
Now, let me tell you something else. IN the 8 years Ive had implants...no one has ever known for sure if they are mine or fake...thats how good a job I had done; howevr, at my last Mamography- an implant imploded. I now need 6000$ worth of surgery (and No, I didnt marry the surgeon, I married a constrction worker years later). You have to sign a release if you have implants saying that if something happens, they are not responsible...well, something happened. A new tech squeezed too hard..and now Im paying the price. I dont want to go thru surgery again, am seriusly thinking of having them both removed, instead of having them replaced. did you also know you have to have this done every 10 years or so? its an ongoing expense.
I also want you to know that when I was 38 years old, I was diagnosed with Multiple Scerlosis. To this day, no one knows if there is any connection or not. I have saline boobs, but still....there is a question as to putting a foregin matter into your body...

Your husband is right. He loves you for who you are...dont do this to yourself.

Thanks for your reply. I definitely wouldn't get a size D. Maybe a small C or a full B. Your response was helpful. Even if my husband says yes to me getting them...I am still not sure if I want to follow thru since I know their can be complications down the road. I just hate being a 27 year old women trapped inside a teenage girls body. The older I get the worse I feel. Everyone treats me like a child instead of an adult.

I want to make a comment on a few things about plastic surgery. First of all........do you have children? Or do you plan on having kids in the future? If so...........i would wait until you were done having kids. Your breasts change sooooo much during pregnacy, you dont want to risk having to get them redone! I got breast implants at 26 after 2 kids. My breasts were saggy and an A cup. I went to a B.............then later a lift and went to a C, then had to have the lift redone and im now a DD..........But they arent "out of control" BIG!! Im 5"5 and muscular..........so they do fit my body. Anywayz, if you decide to get this done...............go to several consultations......and do alot of research/background check on the PS that you choose! This is soooooo important!!!! I learned from my mistakes and this is why i have had 3 breast surgeries! You are very small.......so i think it would be a good idea to go to a full B maybe small C.............the bigger you go there is the possibility of complecations as well as rippiling! Good luck with your desision.

No I don't have kids and I don't want any. It is possible I could change my mind when I get into my 30's but for now no. I would definitely get a small implant but I am scared of the risks and complications down the road. How come they can't transfer fat from a different place in the body and put it in the breasts? Not that I have much fat anyways but my but and thighs probably have the most. I have tried gaining weight so hard thinking that maybe my breast size would also increase but I just can't gain weight. I am stuck like this and there is nothing wrong with me. i've been to the doctor and had physicals and stuff.

1. My husband is totally against this

VERY SMART MAN!
Listen to your husband. Avoid complications, risks to your health and additional expenses. I had implants for 18 years after breast feeding and sagging. I wish the doctor had done only a lift like I had asked. But he said I was too small and needed implants. 18 years I hated the fake feeling things. Mine ruptured last year and they are gone. My husband finds me sexier, and more attractive now that I am small, perky and natural. Save yourself time and money and forget them. No matter how small the implant is, they carry the same risks as large implants. Check out the FDA site. Even they list all the risks.

Thank You Auntpolly
I love that my husband loves me the way I am. He keeps saying that he really does like smaller breasts. I do respect that he doesn't want me to get them and that is a reason why I won't. It has nothing to do with the money. We have it and it is not the issue. I don't want to do something like this without his approval. I know he would never approve of me getting implants but I think if he knew how much I wanted them he would eventually say ok...if that is what YOU need to be happy. The thing is I don't know if I really would to go thru it. I do and I don't want them. I did read the FDA risks. I worry about having problems but I thought now the risks were lower than in the past years with safer implants and better surgeons. I don't know. The main reason I want them is to make myself look older and actually feel like an adult women. It is not to show off but yea I will admit I want to look and feel attractive. Just cause I am married I am not dead.

that is a reason why I won't.
but I think if he knew how much I wanted them he would eventually say ok...if that is what YOU need to be happy.

You won't get implants....music to my ears. :blob_fire
Implants do not make the woman. Be happy you have a loving husband that loves you for who you are, not for a bust line. For a husband that wants to keep you safe, healthy and natural.
The FDA approved the implants again without doing enough studies. The product is back on the market and THEN will continue to do studies for safety. I was told my implants would last forever. NOT! Saline implants are suppose to be safe. They can cause just as many problems, fungus, mold and silicone issues. No implant is 100% safe, nor is it a lifetime device. Doesn't matter if you have the best surgeon in the world, there are risks involved. And the expense does not stop at implantation. Future surgeries, MRI's which are recommended every 2 years and not covered by insurance.
Every woman wants to look and feel beautiful. That is why I went to a PS after breast feeding and so saggy. But I wish I had never had those bags of poison put in my body. I am SO happy they are out. I cried the first day I saw them in, I hated them. I cried the first day I had them out, I was ecstatic. I was me again. Even smaller, I was me. No more blobs of gel moving around my chest when I moved my arms. My enthusiasm was so contagious my husband couldn't help but love my new little boobs.
Be happy with yourself. Your husband is a very wonderful man. He loves you, love yourself. :wave:

My daughter had implants a couple of years ago and I was with her the whole way. I went to all the pre surgery appointments with her, and she had done her research on doing this. She was never told anything about having MRI's every 2 years, not even in her research. You just have to make sure when you have mamograms that you tell them you have implants. Her implants were put under the breast tissue and she had an her's done under the breast not through the nipple. Her's look really natural and feel natural as well. I am actually thinking of having implants myself since I know what all to expect. I think that this is a decision that a woman needs to make for herself and no one else. If you think that this is something that will make you feel better about yourself, then I say go for it and if your husband really loves you he will accept your decision. Perhaps he needs to go to an appt with you and talk to the surgeon to ask any questions that he may have. My daugther as well as my self and my youngest daughter all have very small breast, and I can say that there are times when I wish that I had larger breast. My daughter nows feels really good about herself and is not self conscience to wear certain clothing as she was before. Like I said this is a decision that a woman needs to make for herself and no one has the right to tell her that it is wrong, if it is what she wants. Good Luck!!

A mammogram ruptured my implants. :mad:

A mammogram also ruptured my implants, In had them removed along with some precious breast tissue, had saline implants put back in and I will never again have a mammogram, I go for ultra sounds. I have had terrible problems with my health since the rupture, with was in 1996, and my health just keeps getting worse. Please be sure you really understand all the complications one can have from implants, doesn't matter if they are silicone or saline, a mammogram is going to rupture them. I know how you feel being small, I was also small, and very embarrassed to wear a bathing suit, I felt like a guy, very flat. But I don't think that the implants are worth the health problems they will give you after they rupture.

Thanks for your replies. They help. I went out last night though to a well known place for beautiful girls. I have never seen so many breast implants in my life. Even my friend who just got hers done was with me. How do I feel? Very inadequate right now. I feel like I want implants to fit in or something. I know that is a wrong reason though to get them but my goodness...I think I will be the last women on easrth with small boobs. I keep reading and hearing that guys don't like implants but then why do so many women have them?

Hi Chichick,
I got silicone breast implants when I was 27. About 20 years later, I had them replaced. They were intact. I was thrilled that I could get silicone again, because I really didn't want saline. Unlike yours, my husband was supportive of this; I would not have done it without his support. I was 5'5 and weighed about 120 lbs, but, like you, I just wanted my clothes to fit and not to feel self-conscious in a swimsuit. Bottom line - I will be 52 this month, and I have never regretted getting implants. This is not to say I won't regret it one day, but so far, so good. My advice is do so only with your husband's support, and find the BEST doctor you can. Good luck!

Hi Janet23

That is great that you have not had any problems with your implants. If I get them I don't want any complications and I can't know for sure how my body might handle them. I am sure I could hound my husband and he would eventually say go do it if you need it but insdie I still would know he doesn't want to get them done and with something like this....going under the knife and all....I would definitely want his support. Believe me, I am very happy with him and thankful he loves my small breasts and I don't catch him googling at other women or their breasts. But I just want to feel more womenly and like you say...look better in clothes and swim suits. Thanks for your reply and I hope you never regret yours.

I remember feeling just like you at one time. I finally did it and had the augmentation. I felt so attractive fo the first time in my life. As th years went on my health started to decline. Finally I realized I had a rupture. I had them removed and replaced with saline implants. My health went further downhill till I became totally disabled. Another woman mentioned she was diagnosed with MS I have been diagnosed with MS like disease along with many other auto immune diseases. It didnt happen right away for me. Usually it happens about 7- 8 years down the road for the first illness to develop according to some research that I`ve read but others have reactions immediately and then there are others who might never get sick. Its all a gamble with your health and your life. I now look like aboy after having 2 sets of implants removed. I wish I was happy with what I had been given in the first place.
Good luck with your decision.

Hi Rosanne

Thanks for your reply. When I originally posted a few days ago I thought I was pretty much set on getting them and how was I going to get my hubbys approval. But after reading all these responses and plus doing some research I don't think I could go through with it. If everyone's story was successful like Janet23's then I would maybe go through with it but I think I would be happier with my appearance with them but then I would have a new problem....being paranoid about my health because of them. Plus I don't want to be really happy for 7, 8, 9, etc... years to become ill or have even worse breasts then before. I guess I will be happy with what I have. I am curoius though about how many women actually have serious complications or illness, (not just a minor touch up or replacement) after years of having them.

Chichick,

I am so happy to hear of your decision. In the long run you have made a very wise dcision.

Hi Rosanne

I am curoius though about how many women actually have serious complications or illness, (not just a minor touch up or replacement) after years of having them.

I don't think we will ever know how many women truly have illnesses from implants because doctors won't admit that implants cause problems.
Every woman has a complication: they don't last forever and need to be removed/replaced someday. More surgery, more tissue loss and/or damage to healthy breast tissue.
