I want to get a boob job soon like in march or so but i've done research and it's just scaring me of all the cons of it like the capsular contracture? double bubble, the loaf problem where the implants can get out of place and they will look like one big boob!that's just scary and the pain every one says that under the muscle it's pretty painfull. what kind of meds do they give for pain? i'll appreciate it thanks karla

Ask some friends that have had it done and are happy with the results. Find out who their doctor was. Then make sure he is properly licensed and accredited. Call for a consultation, (it is usually free). They will explain the procedure. You should ask them then if they will fix the things you mentioned at no charge or what. Most of the time those things can be repaired in the office. Pain meds vary from Loritab to Mepragan. They want you to be comfortable, you heal faster. So they are not going to make you suffer.

Perhaps you could take that money and make your teeth beautiful? Get laser hair removal? A nose job? But natural breasts are so beautiful. fake ones, (in my opinion) are so weird looking and fake.

What difference does it make if it is your teeth, nose, breasts, etc. that you aren't happy with. People decide to have things done (cosmetically) for personal reasons. I have seen (and HAVE) cosmetically altered breasts that look as natural as can be. It all depends on the skill of the surgeon.

Karla, the pain isn't all that bad. If breast augmentation is something that you really want to do, FOR YOU, then do your research. Make an informed decision. I did it a little over a year ago, and I don't have ugly or fake looking breasts. I would do it again in a heartbeat. My doctor gave me Oxycontin (which you will hear bad things about) for the first three days. I was not in PAIN, just uncomfortable for a while. Childbirth was much more painful and I had easy deliveries with all four kids. Good luck with your research. .

Hi,

If getting your breast done is something you want to do and your doing it for yourself I say go for it. I wanted it done for years and finally got it done 3 weeks ago, and are really happy on the way they turn out!

You really need to look into going with a doctor that is experance, I went to 7 doctors before making my choice! I was worried about all the things you listed, the doctor I decided to go with was the only one that took the time to explain everything to me and I mean everything!! I had a book of questions... and he actually told me if I went under the muscle my breast would not come out right because the way my natual breast were, and he was so right, my breast dont look fake or stuck on my chest, they are over the muscle and look so good, and they are soft for being only 3 weeks, and look real! Now a lot of girls will tell you it is not that painful, well to me it hurt like a $^%$%^$% I was in a lot of pain, you really need help for the first week, well I did anyway, but was it worth it to me...YES YES YES, You kind of forget how bad it really was, now at the time your screaming "why did I do this" and you "cant take the pain" but your so out of it anyway...I had a few of the girls on here help me out because I was freaking out something was wrong,it was nice to have someone to talk to about it!

I wish you the best of luck, may sure you pick a good doctor, dont try to go the cheap way, you get what you pay for, and you will have to live with these babys for a longtime so really take your time in picking a doctor...let us know what happens..

Blueeyes...

PS: ZOE, you are so lucky your doctor gave you that for you pain, it must of worked wonders, wish my doctor would of gave that to me..you must of had a great doctor!
