Breast Implants my 2cents

[BethG]

I have had implants now for 5 years. I am a C now. I wasn't wanting to be a stipper or Dolly Parton, I just wanted to look "normal". I was very flat chested, I had no breast tissue at all and to top it off my breast plate is flipped, so I had a sunken chest. Now, it makes for great cleavage.
I have had no problems at all with my implants. They look wonderful and I feel like a different person. I gained confidence that I never had before.
Psychologically however, getting the implants has messed with my head!! I had nightmares for well over a year that one of them had popped. I now had full blown anxiety attacks. Suddenly I will feel like one breast is slightly bigger than the other and I get freaked out that one of them is going to pop. I run to the bathroom at work and lock myself in the handicap stall, take off my bra and stare at my breasts to see if anything looks different.
The knowledge that I have bags of salt water shoved under my muscles to give the impression of bags of fat hanging off my body really causes me emotional distress.
I love the way I look. And I really have had no physical problems with my implants at all, but if one day they do pop or when my expiration date arrives, I won't be replacing them.
As a teenager and a young adult not having breasts was a tragedy! Now at 27 I realize that myself value should not be weighed by what the Media tells me is beautiful. The person that I am has so much more value than my breast size.

Wow, I love mine! I was a full C to start with, but I had them bumped up to a full D. I went over the muscle and had no pain at all. I have had no problems physically OR emotionally and when the time comes, I'll definitely get mine replaced. I love having full, beautiful breasts!

I got under the muscle implants that took me from an A to a C, and it's the absolute best thing I've ever done for myself physically. I spent years being unhappy with the way I looked, plus the fact that I couldn't wear certain clothes and lingerie, not to mention swimsuits. I had my surgery 8 months ago, and have had no problems....my surgery and recovery were very uneventful. Sure, there's some pain and discomfort involved, but it was well worth the end result. I'd do it all over again, and I don't know why I didn't do it sooner.

What do you mean by: When the time is up, or when they expire?

I thought that breast implants didn't expire!!

Do you have to replace them??!!
