So this is a spin off on that 'boob sex' post...
I'm just curious if anyone has had a boob job? If so what made you do it? And is anyone thinking of getting one?
I admit, I have thought about it a few times. I lost a LOTTTT of weight in the last year (25+ lbs) and as a result have suffered in boobage. I kinda miss it (Now I am in somehere between B and small C). FI has nothing to do with these feelings. It's ALL me. 
I miss the girls...
If you were to get one, would you wait until after having children? Also, is it true that you lose sensation in your nipples from getting a boob job?
And how long does the procedure take? Are you an outpatient?
(I don't know where this would 'fit' so I am posting in the Beehive!)
All I know is I want one, but I'm no where near financially secure enough seriously consider it yet!
It's cheaper to buy gel inserts, haha! I use them sometimes even though I don't "need" them. No surgery required, which is always a bonus.
I would like one, but I would be too embarassed to go through with it. I also want to have kids in a few years and I'm not sure how breastfeeding works if you have implants.
I always wanted one, but I'd never do it. I'm too shy to be showing all that to the doctor. hahaha!
I didn't really have a poll option. It's not that I do/do not need one, it's that I don't really want one...
I had a BA (breast augmentation) in 2001 when I was 30 years old. My decision was based solely on the fact that I went from a full C cup to less than an A cup from breastfeeding my children. I also had major sagging with what little breast was left.
My advice to anyone considering it would be to wait until you've had children, because being pregnant will affect them, as well as breastfeeding (if you choose to breastfeed). Also, sometimes a BA will affect milk production and you won't be able to breatsfeed (not always though).
I temporarily lost sensation in my nipples (for probably 6 months) but they're fine now. There is no guarantee though - some women never have this problem, some women will always have this problem.
A BA is an outpatient surgery and patients typically take a week off of work (a lot of things go into this though - the placement of the implant, what type of implant, etc.)
For anyone considering a BA, I would go to this site and spend LOTS of time researching ... http://www.implantinfo.com/ They have an excellent forum where you can talk to other women in your same situation, and also women who have already had a BA.
I've had the same implants for 10 years and haven't had any problems. There are potential complications with any surgery and there are specific issues related to BA (again, be sure you do ALL your research). I don't regret mine for the most part, however as I've gained some weight through the years, my chest is now bigger than I would like. There is also the reality that some day, I will need to have a re-do - there are no guarantees of how long they will last (some women a few years, the average is 10, some women report 20 years w/out any problems).
Good luck!
Need another poll option for never considered it. I would have loved to be more blessed in that area (As booohoo)... but I wouldnt go under the knife to fix something that is not a disfigurement or life threatening.
One thing to consider is that most implants will need be replaced every 10 years or so due to rupture. I did research on this one night when I woke up and wondered how do women that have breast implants have mammograms - do they pop? Well yes sometimes they do. My ex husbands new wife has had one rupture and the other has stayed firm and they do not have the money to replace the ruptured one.Just a caution since there is a possibility as with any type of prosthesis that you will need maintenance surgery down the road.
Now I do not have them and so all of my research was objective based on that weird thought waking me up in the middle of the night.
Nope, not ever. I saw the surgery tape of a friend of my mom's having them removed and just thinking about it makes me want to gag even just thinking about it.
I have briefly thought about it, but I've decided that it's not worth the risk for cosmetic surgery.
I think I will want to get a lift in about 10 years, but I'm pretty happy with the size of them. Let's talk again once I start working out on a regular basis
I don't need one (I'm a D, young, and so they're nice and perky lol). I think the ONLY way I would ever consider one is if they were really getting me down and massively affecting my confidence. I'm a pretty confident person, so I can't really see that ever happening; even if they get smaller or start to sag; but who knows.
I've had minor surgery twice. It's pretty darn painful, and I really don't think I could put myself through something as major as a boob job unless I really felt I had no choice. You do also need to have them replacing every 10 years, so it's a big committment; it't not just a one-off thing. I'm not sure I'd want to be 60 and needing them replaced.
If I wanted children, there is no way I'd contemplate this type of surgery before completing a family, and if I were you I'd really consider this carefully; your body changes a lot during pregnancy, so for me personally, I wouldn't want to shell out a huge amount of money if afterwards I might want to do it again. You also cannot breastfeed with certain types of surgery (with some you can; it depends on where they put the implant)
I'm planning on getting one in a few years (about 3-4). I want them but I also want to wait until the FI and I are more financially stable, and I'm out of school. I have Cs but a very small frame, so they look more like Bs. I have MAjOR self esteem issues and I think that this will help. The FI is supportive as far as if its what I want, but seems to be perfectly content with the way they are ;). Just think about it and decide whether its the right decision for you, not whether anyone else will care/judge. If you're not happy in your own skin, then its only right to try to help it. :)
I wanted to vote "I don't need one" but then I thought people would assume I had big boobs, which I certainly don't! I'm an A! just don't need one because my body is natural and lovely and even if I sometimes (or most of the time) hate my body, my SO loves it and always makes me feel great!
I've always been an A and the thought has crossed my mind but.... no way. I'd never do it. I'd hate to feel that a part of me was fake. Plus, they do look fake. And people would notice that they got bigger (and that it wasn't natural). No thanks.
To each their own because it can be a confidest booster, I know, but I am a natural kinda gal.
Just curious, Have you looked into Herbal/natural things first? Im not married yet - and hav no kids and my boobs are fine (for now ) But I hav considered the idea of breast lift after I do have kids..Ive been looking into Natural products instead that will help with the sagging and fullness.. Anyway, Just a thought, look into natural first and see if that would b a better suited option for you b4 making the big descison of going under the knife
Dare not take the risk, although I do want bigger boobs...
I had one five years ago, and I love the results, but was it The Best Decision Ever? Meh... it's unnecessary plastic surgery. Im very happy, but to call spending $7,000 the best decision ever would be false. :)
The procedure took a couple hours. I had to start prepping (not eating, etc) the night before. I went in at 8am and was out by noon after all was said and done. It's definitely outpatient but they put you fully under so there is some recovery involved.
I was on a morphine drip for 3 days afterward and carried it around in a fanny pack. Once the morphine wore off it went from being relatively uncomfortable/painful to EXTREMELY painful. The pain would keep me up at night and I was miserable. It took at least 6 weeks for the pain to fully subside, then it was just uncomfortable for the next 4 months until they settled. Over the next year and a half I had shooting pains (which is totally normal) as my nerves regenerated.
My boobs settled in about a year, and now 5 years later they look amazing. They look totally natural and people are surprised to hear they're false. My fiance didn't know me before them, but he's obsessed with them (which is nice but can kind of get annoying).
Do your research, save your pennies, prepare yourself for the worst (anything can happen - rupture, rejection, etc) and hope for the best, and go for it if you truly want it for yourself.
I have small boobs, about a 34 B, I have a very small figure with what people have called "big birthing hips" and I think my boobs are very proportional to my body, and going any bigger I would look funny( my personal opnion) . I think I fit in the category " Don't want them" All of my best friends have had them done, and went from smaller boobs then mine to DD's, my best friend was suppose to be a full C and came out a DD, so that I think is def a turn off! They don't look right, look way too big and scream fake.
I don't think there is anything wrong with getting them done by any means, it's just not me. And, fortunately, my man is not a boob guy ( he actually hates fake boobs..the look..etc) and loves mine just the way they are. When people ask if I will ever get them done he is quick to reply "no way!" So I guess because we have the same views on them, I don't have the "he wishes mine were bigger" pressure that some of my friends have gone through.
Hope you choose what is best for you and good luck!
I might consider it after I finished having kids...but before that it seems like it might be a waste because they will blow up and then sag after that anyway.

I have wanted them for probably 10 years already and will be getting them done after this baby is born. My boobs have always been the one thing that I was unhappy with. They are far too small for my body and I don't feel like they are proportionate at all.
Plus, I want to breastfeed and I saw what that did to my mom's boobs. *shudder* Yeah, I'm not living with that. It might be shallow but... whatever. I want them for me, not for DH, not because I lack self-esteem. I love boobs and I want mine to be awesome.
Honestly a small C isn't "small" at all... either way I prefer natural on all women...
@vmec: I agree! I'm a B on a good day! And there isn't an option for me, it's just not something I'm considering. (I would consider a face-lift or something like that as I got older but my boobs are just fine for me!)
I've thought about it from time to time. I still think about it. they just aren't perky, especially after breastfeeding for a year. However, surgery is not something I take lightly. I can't even get a goshdarn haircut without evaluating all the long term pros and cons, haha. So for now, I will defiitely put it on the back burner, at least until I figure out whether or not I wat aother child.
@zippylef: "I love boobs and I want mine to be awesome".
Word!! Same here!
I have DD's and will get my breasts done, but AFTER having all my children :)
I probably wouldn't get implants, but I wouldn't be opposed to a breast lift at some point. My boobs have never been perky and after I finish having kids, then I'd be interested in a lift. Btw, breastfeeding doesn't hurt boobs, it's pregnancy.
When I was younger I thought that maybe one day I would want one, but I've come to realize I dont need one! I am a small B and my boobs are perky and nice haha. They look right with my body and DH loves them.
I always thought I really wanted one until I started spending time with more women in their mid-to-late 30s who are already candidates for a SECOND boob job because theirs are just . . . not looking right anymore. Separating, indented, shifting, just don't look right with how their bodies have aged, etc. When I was considering it I was like wow $8k for perfect boobs for life and that's not the case at all. I don't want to continue having to do upkeep and continue having surgeries if I want nice titties for the rest of my life and in my opinion there are few things that look worse than a bad implant or a boob job that needs fixing. It's just not a road I want to go down.
The only reason I have not done it yet is money. I have always wanted to get a boob job. I'm a small B, so seriously lacking.
I voted "I don't need one", but my boobs aren't actually that big. They are pretty awesome, though! I guess I've just never wanted one. I wouldn't want to wreck what I've got (which, again, isn't much but I really like them, haha).
Right now I'm an I(US)/G(UK) so definitely not right now. But DH said he would be fine with me getting a lift after we have kids. He doesn't like the idea that my mom went from an F to AA after my brother and I. I'm not sure I would ever be fully behind the idea. Even when we were considering if a reduction was necessary, the whole idea of surgery and the recovery process was just too much for me.
I say I don't need one even though I'm only an A. I'm happy with them and the suit my body size. My FMIL is always saying how she wished she had my boobs (she's a D cup) because she can't find cute bras!
Wow! Thanks for the input ladies. (I will fix my poll to reflect the 'don't want one').
I think I will wait until after having kids. Makes more sense. I mean, why go through the same thing twice?!
I am also a little skeptical about the 'upkeep' but it will all depends on how badly I want them done after the kids are done with them. Lol!
@Mrsgurzakovic: What kind of 'herbal' things are out there that can actually help?! I have never heard of anything actually working.
@BoiledPNut: Amen to that! Corset top with built in cups? Yeah right I need XL for the cup and XS for the body... it just doesn't happen. And 3 or 4 hook n eye on the back? Yeah... that's hot.

I'm considering getting one in the future. I used to be a small C on a very slender frame. That was totally perfect and I actually used to get asked if they were fake, lol. So I don't see how the previous poster thought that was small on a small frame. Anyway after breastfeeding I'm now a saggy A cup and they're also wrinkled and really weird looking from all the shrunken skin. I was a double D while breastfeeding. I have no issue with them being small, like I said I have a slender frame so they still look right on my body. It's during summer and bikini season it's a major issue, it's all skin and no tissue so I can't even push them up. I don't have have one bikini that looks good anymore.
We're on the fence about having another child so I'll probably wait awhile but I do feel like I need a small implant to balance that saggy skin and I definitely wouldn't go bigger than my old size of a small C, maybe even just a big B. I want them to look really natural. It's risky and a big decision so it's not something I'll jump into lightly.
