writes:I was just wondering if any women here have had breast implants, and if so, do you have any regrets? I've been thinking of getting breast implants for a long time now, I've never been happy with mine. I am aged 24 and a small 32b cup, I would like to go up one size to a c cup. I know a lot of people will advise me not to get sugery, but I lack confidence with my body and it's putting me off relationships. If any one has had breast implants, I'd be very appreciative of some feedback as to how they feel and work for you. Have they made you more confident? Are men okay with them? And what do they feel like?

Yes I have them. I went from a size A to a DD. It was very painful!I regret now ever having it done. They looked so glamorous and playboyish I couldnt wait.There are so many shirts I cant wear now and running is a nightmare! Men cant help but stare and view you as an object and girls are very judgemental. If you decide to do it please stay with a good C size. Thats what I would have done if I could do it again.

If you've never been happy with yourself/your breasts and you think it may give you a confident boost then it's worth a try I'm sure. If it's a few grand you haven't got, then you'll be taking a risk in case you're not happy with them. Either way, a few grand short or not, you can still get them removed if you're not happy with them. But yes, if you've totally got the money to pay for them and you think it will make you feel better about yourself then I say go for it, it's not like a tattoo and they'll be there forever even if you don't like it.
Even though you'll find a lot of men prefer natural boobs, what men like in this occasion shouldn't be an issue. Don't worry about other people, if it's what you want then do it. If it makes YOU happy then that's all that matters, it's your body after all. Besides, you say you only want to go up to a c cup, and I've seen a lot of fake boobs (when smaller) look natural.
I always wanted breast implants from a young age. I was NEVER happy with my breasts either. I always had it in my head they never grew and every girl's boobs around me were, so I thought I was abnormal or something. I'm the same as you now, 32 b. But yeah, I then dated my first boyfriend who absolutely loved them - it really did give me a confident boost with them. I'm tiny framed/petite, so I realised a 32 b cup was JUST right for my weight/height. And breast implants would just look silly.
You should try learning to love the skin you're already in, instead of changing it around. Believe me, once you start liking the bodily parts you were born with will give you A LOT more confidence than the fake accessories you add to it, (breast implants).
Just do what makes you happy. If it's what you really want, then do it. Don't let anybody stop you from having the things you want.

From a male point of view, it's just not the same. At a 32b, there's actually nothing wrong with you. But, at the same time, if you really believe that it will help your confidence, then it's more about whether you're happy than whether anyone else is. But, like I say, guys aren't so interested in fake as they are real. That's not to say guys won't like you, because they will. We are aware there is more to a woman than her breasts. I'd suggest you look at your confidence first, and maybe do some counselling before you do surgery. Because it will be your lack of confidence that sends guys away, not your breasts. If you get the surgery and you're still not happy, guys will pass you by and look for a woman who is happier with herself overall.

Guys who are looking for an actual relationship will totally be all for your personality not just the size of your breasts. It's only sex hungry "one-night-stand-wanting" hooligans who are going to judge just on your boobs. If you have a nice looking face and body and you are a nice person then having smaller sized breasts really doesn't matter at all. Its really if you have breasts which are way , way inproportionatly huge or just completely flat that it is just simply not nice to look at. Good luck!

 I know people who've had work done and the general feedback is positive from those who have had minor enhancements from a reputed surgeon. One thing to keep in mind is that if you're going for it, don't skimp on the budget. A cheap job could not only look terrible (I remember Krystal Steal's first boobjob as a prime example of this) but could also be bad for your health.
I still think it's best to be happy with what you have, but if you feel its right and you're doing it for yourself, go ahead. Like with any cosmetic surgery, who you get it done from is the most important factor.

 Sorry to get off on a tangent but I've read about reconstruction surgery available to mastectomy patients. There is this new procedure which doesn't use silicone; instead they reconstruct breasts from fatty tissue that the woman already posesses; it's much safer.
I'm a C size now and I really don't like it.
When I'm at my ideal weight I'm a 34B-ish and much happier.
It seems to me that you look fine the way you are... surgery is a must to correct a disfigurement or a deformity. There's nothing wrong with you.

I did have implants when i was 28 years old. I used to be a 32A cup. Change it to a 34C. What a confident boost!
I am 51 years old now- havent had any problems up to this day. Still looks good.
It did wonders to my self-esteem.
I will never ever regret it!!
Go for it girl!!

 Hi there! I don't have breast implants, so I have no personal experience to relate. I can tell you that my sister who was a 32A had both breasts done--she had a double mastectomy due to breast cancer. She went to a 32D. It does make her look more balanced, as she had been a bit wider in the hips prior to the surgery.
My observation of breast implants is that you can pretty much tell when a woman has had them. The breasts just don't move or lie down in the natural tissue way. I mean, think of the mechanics, they are filled pouches tucked into a specific area surgically created. Natural breast tissue is more spread out, if you know what I mean.
My concern for you is that you say you lack confidence and it's putting you off relationships. If you get implants, do you think you will have the worry that your surgery will be detectable by sight and/or feel? Will you be trading one source of anxiety or insecurity for another source of anxiety or insecurity?
The other thing about breast implants is that they make reading mammograms that much more difficult. If you have any history of breast cancer in your family, I would most strenously suggest that you consult with a breast cancer specialist before getting this type of implant.
Best wishes to you.
