Question for ladies with breast implants !!!! - Cosmetic / Plastic Surgery Message Board

btsmommy · 10-20-2008, 12:08 PM

I'm 23 years old and for a while now I've wanted to get breast implants, I had my son at 16 and breast feed him, I'm only 4'11" and was a medium B cup, I have lost so much volume I just don't look as good as I want to, I'm in the gym 3-5 days a week and I work out my chest and its just not cutting it!!
I wanted to know if anyone else with a small frame has gotten implants and what type and size did they go with,what they paid, and were they happy with them. Thanks in Advance

When you say you lost volumne do you mean that the breasts aren't as full because they aren't as perky? Or did you mean you went from a B to an A?
If you cup your hands underneath them and lift them up are they acceptable to you? If so then all you need is a mastioplexy (a breast lift) The skin is tightened up. Unfortunately, alot of doctors will sell the idea of implants when they weren't necessary. If you can avoid the potential problems of having implants, then you would want to do so, if you are happy with a B.
I was an A cup. Sometimes I felt my shoulder blades were bigger than my boobs. I had implants put in and chose a heavy B. I was thin and didn't want to look top heavy just "normal" For me the implants didn't work out. After the third year I became very sick. I had rashes, fevers, hair loss, brain fog and incredible fatigue to name a few. It took 5 years to find out what was wrong. I had a rupture and the silicone and other chemicals (actone, benzene, platinum to name a few) had spread to the center of my chest. I had my implants removed and had to have tissue taken from my rib area to fill in the deformity I would have had. Thankfully, I had one of the top surgeons in the country so I look fine.
If you do get implants, do you want to be noticeably larger or just fit in? Take a look at alot of pictures. Good luck

I love mine.
My first advice is visit lots of doctors, and bring pix from topless lady mags (y'know

) so they know what you want to look like in terms of size and shape.

Also prob stick with a board certified plastic surgeon. i visited with a couple of cosmetic surgeons and they were a waste of time, they are not as good. the reasons why are lengthy, you may already know if not i'll explain.

mine are silicone and i've had them over 4 years, they're 350cc. love em so so much. mine are under the muscle. however, b/c you have an issue w/ feeling like you are sagging, you might look better w/ having yours over the muscle.

if over the muscle is a better option for you be happy, it's much quicker healing. generally speaking it only looks better on women w/ sagging breasts, on women that are still taut under is better.

Also imo if a doc wants to go in thru belly button or underarm that is a bad sign. The best doc's still want to go in right under your breast. if you have a great doc, that scar will fade and be practically invisible in 6 mo's, and it's under your breast anyway. The further away they cut from your breast the harder it is for them to place everything even and just right.

if you visit w/ a doctor some are very short in their consultations but some go on and on or have special assistants just for consults and you can get a huge amount of info out of them, bring a notebook.

Also you may want to go big. I'm a 34D and I don't feel big at all, once you get used to them....surprisingly you'll find lot's of women who feel the same.

Price varies according to dr and regionally. Don't pick according to price. My doc wasn't the cheapest I consulted with. Idk about $ because it's been a while, prices may have gone up, plus i had 2 surgeries at once.

Just do tons of research until you feel comfortable.
Keep looking around online, talk to docs.

Best wishes!!!
