I'm Getting Implants

[JickyJuly]

There is a a huge difference between a woman that lost her breasts due to cancer and is now horribly scarred that wants implants or reconstructive surgery in order to feel more feminine again and a woman that just wants to fill out a dress better, at least in my opinion. I've seen far too many women ruin a perfectly beautiful, natural set of boobies for frankentits. I'm not a fan of fake tit-tays for several reasons, but if it makes a woman feel better, then go for it.

I agree with this. A lot of women are very attached to their breasts. Also, if they tie their breasts emotionally to their illness, having a Mastectomy would be more of an event than just losing their breasts. It's more like Cancer has "'stolen" the breasts. Having new ones installed is an act of empowerment or reclaiming what is lost at that point and not necessarily vain at all. :twocents-02cents:

(I actually have a friend who is refusing a Mastectomy. She's under 50 and would rather face death than lose her boobies. I find that maddening, but women and breasts are a complicated topic.)

I don't think woman have issues with the way natural breasts look. The most common type of implant is teardrop shaped, which obviously mimics the shape of a natural breast which has been changed by gravity. They want them to look natural.

Here's the thing - there are some ridiculous looking REAL boobs out there. Fake boobs are an attempt to copy a look which does exist in nature. If you take away the two extremes: obviously real boobs and obviously fake boobs, you have a huge percentage of "maybes" that just aren't the easy to decipher.

Of course, arguing about who can tell and who can't is pretty futile. Basically: All boobs rock. If fake tits make you happy, go for it. Just be smart about the doctor you choose and the methods you desire.

I get that. I just don't get why it's acceptable and applauded for her, vs someone else. The surgery is the same regardless of the reason.



Either way, the problem why this topic bothers me, is because it seems like a sign of weakness. Stolen or never had, they can still work on their -mental- issues before doing anything drastic like surgery. No one should have any spite or remorse about their body, regardless of it's how they were born or something else. Everyone, no matter how bad whatever happened to them was, needs to get over shit like that, especially before they get drastic surgery. Using something like a surgery to distract you from it and pretend like it never happened, or that it didn't actually hurt you because there are aren't as many visible results is a very harmful decision.

Getting it done because you're all butt hurt about losing them (sure, the process is tragic, but we're not on that,) or because you're butt hurt about your appearance, both are bad reasons. You have to love your body, even through what it's been through, before you can change it. Otherwise you're not really changing at all, you're just fucking yourself in the head.


And yes, it's still cosmetic surgery. It depends on what definition you use, I can get something that agrees with me on another site. Seeing as breast implants have no impact on health, it's cosmetic.

Hmm. I disagree. The act of reclaiming something that has been taken can definitely make a victim feel stronger and maybe even give the mourning/healing processes a little easier.

Either way, it's no ones' place to be critical of anyones' choices as long as they're not harming others. Every single person who has cosmetic sugery has their own personal motives. In the end, it doesn't really matter as long as they end up happier on the other side.

Exactly, that's how it should be. Not "Unless you've suffered a chainsaw implants are bad m'kay?"

The relationship I have with breast implants is one of resentment. For years and years now I've been embarrassed of my boobs because, since they are large and heavy, they aren't perky. Even when I was 18 or 19 years old, they weren't perky. They are natural and hang as such.

Why have I been embarrassed, you ask, since this seems a natural thing? Because of the impact that breast implants have had on society. I've seen boobs 2 ways: Small and perky or Large and perky because they're enhanced. That's what most people in our era are used to seeing. You don't see a whole lot of nude models or porn stars (or anyone who you'd see naked in the media) with non-perky boobs (I hate the word "saggy" so I'm avoiding it here.) All my life, I've felt like the oddball because my tits don't sit all high and pretty on my chest. I've worn painfully strict bras in order to try and fit in, but that doesn't help much once I'm naked.

In the last 20 years, breast implants and plastic surgery has come a long way, and has grown increasingly popular, and I believe it has a lot to do with the fact that perky tits are what's accepted and what's the norm. So many girls are feeling the need to enhance theirs just to be "normal." It's really awful, if you ask me. The epidemic is just going to grow worse as the implants and surgery continue to develop and become easier and more accessible and a higher percentage of women go through with it. Girls who are like me will continue to become more and more the minority and feel ashamed about the way they look.

This rings very true for me. If I had a dollar every time I herd the word saggy I'd be rich. The joke is that aren't really that saggy. I've looked around at other models with naturally large tits and they look alike. I've looked a pre surgery photos of woman with real saggy tits and mine don't even come close. I came to a similar conclusion, these comments are coming from young men (and a handful of trolls XD) who have only seen natural small tits or enhanced large tits

I went through a period where hearing the word over and over actually made me very sad and I almost consider surgery. I'm glad I've left that frame of mind and rediscovered my love for my natural 32dds. As I've heard Amber put it before so gracefully , they are 'naturally affected by gravity' but still very lovely!

Naturally large chested girls of the world be strong!

(Note: I have nothing against enhanced boobies and think they are lovely too!)

 

[AlexLady]

I hate people who think your tits are "saggy" just because they're naturally well, really awesomely big. It's sad how many people respond to them being as non-perky just because they've never seen such large natural breasts - especially on someone as fit and athletic as you, Amber.

Fuck them. Your tits rock.


I feel kind of sorry for people with really large breasts - natural or otherwise - it seems like you wouldn't be able to sleep on your tummy or run around naked, or run easily without lots of bras. But they sure are awesome to look at.

Thank goodness! ray: paid off! :lol:

Seriously, the ignoramuses that say that saggy crap know nothing about how each woman's breasts are different due to age, childbirth, weight loss, cooper's ligament... and deserve zero credence. Just brush off the saggy comments as misguided ignorance.

The way natural bewbz hang, jiggle, move and feel are all part of what I love about 'em. I can't speak for others. If I was in a relationship with a woman that wanted implants, I would try to talk her out of it but would ultimately respect her decision either way and would still love her implanted bewbz because they are now a part of her.

 

[Sia Green]

Im just gonna have to go ahead and agree 100% with everything Raven said.

You know whos boobies look amazing IMO is SpexyAshleigh. Perfectly squeezable. An example of fantastic surgery.

Thanks for that perspective Amber. Personally, I love the way big natural breasts hang and move. Braless in a t-shirt I go crazy. It's really sad that society can't just accept the human body the way it is.

I frequent some nude beaches and one of the most amazing women I've met was pretty overweight and had a single mastectomy with no reconstructive surgery. She was probably in her late 50's. Her story was interesting as she said the nude beach was the most comfortable place for her because no one is perfect, and everyone just accepted her.

Amber (and Jessica) really well said
One of the things I love about real boobies is the shape, it annoys me too when idiots call them saggy just because the nipples don't naturally point to the north star.

And yeah I posted it earlier and I'll post it again for emphasis: the last thing surgeons or patients are trying to do is emulate real boobs. They're trying to emulate other fake boobs, or some ideal of large boobs that doesn't even exist!

Wrong. The boobs you're thinking of are, once again, the ones girls want to look fake. Most doctors and patients are going for a "natural" look with implants, that's why, ugh, you know, implants are being manufactured to be more and more like real ones.

Not that I disagree, but holy shit, who would want to look like they have their skin peeled back & two coconut shells stuff under their titty flesh/fat??? Who would look at an set of before & after pics & pick THAT type of fake breast out? Ick. >_>

 

[AlexLady]

Here are a few ladies who prefer that look;

Like Alex said, you're very wrong. There are real boobs that are large and perky. It happens. Not often and usually not for long, but it DEFINITELY happens. Most fake boobs are a modest size. They are well within the range of what natural breasts can and DO look like. You need to go and study some more natural tits, my friend.

 

[Jupiter551]

Ok well all I can say is they have some fucking FANTASTIC plastic surgeons in colombia and eastern europe and they're obviously cheap too because we're talking 600 camscore girls!

Show me which of these mfc chicks have fake tits, since apparently I can't tell

 

[Jupiter551]

Also, looking around some plastic surgeons before and after galleries, trying to find reputable ones and such I still can't see any enhanced boobs that would REALLY pass for real ones. I mean they look good, they don't look freaky or a bad job or anything...they don't look real either.

:text-offtopic:

Jupaz, if you want to continue to argue about your superior breast identification skills, start another topic. This topic is about me getting breast implants. I'm linking people here to discuss that. If you want a thread about real vs fake and how awesome you are at judging a woman's history just by her appearance - start one.

 

[Jupiter551]

Yeah fair enough, my intention wasn't to jack your thread....even though you guys were the ones who repeatedly said it's impossible to tell the difference, saying how "very wrong" Boce and I both are for daring to think that being attracted to natural boobs might mean we're actually capable of spotting what it is that attracts us...

 

[AshaSnow]

All in all, whatever excuse any woman makes to alter her natural body is something that she is going to have to live with...for the rest of her life. Decisions like these are serious and should be made soberly and with utmost caution. Besides there are health issues to consider: breast augmentation surgery can be very dangerous and women who have had breast implants are more likely to get cancer and heart disease and are more likely to suffer from low self-esteem, depression, and even suicide. Again, a decision with these sorts of correlated issues needs to be taken very, very seriously.

I couldn't find anything linking breast implants to a higher rate of cancer (and actually in some cases it showed lower risk), besides getting ALCL, which is less likely than getting struck by lightening.

I think the higher rate of low self-esteem, depression, and suicide reflects the person that someone already is rather than who they become after implants. Women considering implants are more likely to have body dysmorphic disorder, obsessions with cosmetic surgery, more likely to use drugs and alcohol, more likely to be in the sex industry as porn stars, camgirls, and yes hookers, more likely to be women in relationships where the men pressure them to have surgery, more likely to be breast cancer survivors, and a whole hoard of other "more likely"s.

Yes, implant surgery needs to be taken seriously since it is something that will effect women for the rest of their lives, but I don't think you can say that the implants innately can cause women to be unhappy and suicidal o.0 That's just how those women most likely were to begin with and they chose to try to solve it in an outward way instead of an inward and it didn't work out for them.

Anyway Alex and I both have good heads on our shoulders, right Alex? :thumbleft: Alex's reasons for implants seem quite reasonable and sane, and though I'm biased mine seem good too lol

 

[Runts]

You make some good points Asha. You're right. The correlations may have more to do with the people choosing that the procedure or the implants themselves. Nevertheless, the numerous bad things correlated with breast implant surgery should cause one to pause. That's all I'm saying.

As for the cancer correlation, I looked again at Google scholar and I found the article I was referring to earlier. It's called "Cancer Risk Among Women With Cosmetic Breast Implants: A Population-Based Cohort Study in Sweden." The authors of the article find that women with breast implants are more likely, in general, to have cancer than women without. Interestingly, women with breast implants are less likely to have breast cancer than women without. However, incidences of lung and various reproductive organ cancers are significantly higher for women with breast implants. This may be due to lifestyle choices of women who get breast implants (e.g. women with breast implants seem more likely to smoke and on average have more sexual partners).

And I know you have a good head on your shoulders Asha. So I have two things to say with regard to this issue: 1) I love your boobs the way they are right now!; and 2) Whatever you decide to do, I'll support you...I just want you seriously to think it through first!

 

[AlexLady]

I'm sure she has thought it through. Any major mod is something people think about first

I couldn't find anything linking breast implants to a higher rate of cancer (and actually in some cases it showed lower risk), besides getting ALCL, which is less likely than getting struck by lightening.

The only issue that I'm aware of is that it makes it rather more difficult to do some sorts of scan on the breast tissue.
Including preventative screenings. Some lumps will not get picked up as easily, meaning not increased cancer risk, but increased severity due to being picked up on average later.

However.
There are several advances that may mitigate this increased risk.
MRI machines have been on a trajectory over the past couple of decades where they get ever more high resolution, and add on bells and whistles in order to maintain profit margin.

This is to maintain market share - as it's been seen as unaffordable to make them 'mass market' devices, and if you're buying an expensive MRI machine - one with 10% better resolution or lower scan time is probably worth it.

Several advances including increased computational power - GPUs et al - improved receivers, improved low-temperature refrigeration, seem to imply to me that it's very likely that in the medium term - 10 years out - say - to make MRI scanning a much cheaper and more viable screening technique than it is at the moment, with the scanners in many doctors offices.

For technical reasons - the difficulty of building a scanner with a given resolution is related strongly to the cube of the diameter of the scanner. Advances in the maths used enabled by more powerful computers seem to me likely to mean that it's possible to make a scanner for screening in the form of a cup around the breast, rather than over the whole torso.
This makes the construction a lot easier. (though the reconstruction of the image lots harder, due to the wierd shape of the field, hence needing more maths.)

I'm not involved in this field professionally - I've just done several dozen hours of reading, and am contemplating building my own scanner.

Alls I can say, is do your research, FOLLOW DIRECTIONS (thats the most important) and voila. Perfect boobs!

I started doing extensive research on cosmetic surgery 13 yrs ago and although its probably the most knowledge on any one subject I have, its not rocket science to the common big-boobie-dreamer. Implants aren't supposed to look bad. However, they can only ENHANCE what you already have (Unless you want to go a whole 'nother route but thats a different procedure)- so set realistic goals when you make the decision to go for it.

I get emails day after day (and forum shoutouts thanks guys and gals!! :thumbleft: ) asking and complimenting me on my breasts and I always reply back "Thanks. My advice is" do your research". A reputable plastic surgeon is a big start, yes, BUT- when you walk out looking lopsided, have sideways nipples, and baseballs in there, thats YOUR fault. The recovery process is restricting, time consuming, and a lot of aftermath is involved, but you'd better be prepared to understand that before you sign on the line and pay the $$$. Those 6-12 weeks following your procedure will determine your 10-20yr future, so pay attention to the post-op procedures. You'll waste your money and ruin your image if you don't.

I can think of many girls that have asked me about my doctor and have gone to (9 total now), and sadly, most of theirs don't look as good (or feel) like mine- one of them has uneven crooked ones, one had to get them done again last month because of a "double bubble", and one of them has a rock for a left boob. Now I will say on all of these- the girls chose the Silicone route, AND I know for a FACT that all of them did NOT follow instructions because I watched them. I saw them on cam, taking their support bra off WEEKS before they're allowed to just to "show everyone for a min" (hours later). I saw their tweets at the gym on the 4th day doing pullups ("ouch I'm bruised all down my chest- what happened"?). I have no sympathy for their poor judgement. I can look at any boob, any complication, and day, and tell ya where the patient went wrong. Now sure, they're going to show them off proudly because they're "big fake boobs"- but they know on the inside they don't look as good as they anticipated.

My doctor does 6k sets of breasts a year and is ranked Top 3 in the USA. I assure you, he's done it all. He's seen all types. His job is to put them in while you're in his office, but its yours to take care of them when you walk out the door.

The risks associated with them are minimal and (again) if you follow directions, it'll be easy and recovery is a breeze. I left the hospital smiling, and smile every day since!

Life is about living each day as if its your last and enjoying it to the fullest. If enhancing yourself will make you happy and you feel yourself shine just a little brighter, go for it!

If you get them done right, dont go to big and all they look amazing.

I, for one, LOVE fake boobies and cannot wait to get them done
