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.
