If you bought yourself new boobs...

Army~Wife · November 2011

How and when did you decide to do it? How many different opinions (doctors) did you get and how did you go about your research?

I am still nursing so it will be a while but I know that I absolutely hate the way they look/feel when they are empty. I am not sure if I will ever feel confident about them again if I don't "fix" them. So, I'm just poking around at my options.

Do you ever regret it or are they as you hoped? If you're not comfortable discussing here, do you mind PMing me? I am not sure what I'd like to do about them yet but I would like to be able to make informed decisions.

TIA!

Mine are purchased I only got one opinion because the surgeon had worked on my best friend at the time and he is very well known. I don't regret getting them at all but I do regret not listening to my doctor on size. He suggested a bigger size and I was afraid they'd look too big. He told me most people who go smaller end up disappointed because it's a lot of money -then again it's a very personal decision. If I had gone bigger they definitely would have looked more fake at the beginning but now that age has softened them, they're a little less full than I'd like.

You can ask any questions you want - I'm not shy about it.

Yeah, I know that I don't want them to be huge. Like a full C would be perfect for my frame. But I will need a lift....for sure! If they were already located where they were originally, then I could deal with the size.

Which way did you have them done and why did you choose that way? I am thinking though my belly button.

oh how I love my bewbs.

I did a lot of research on mine. I went to 3 Dr's for a consult. My Dr was amazing.He made me feel like a person and not another boob job. Like the PP I wish now I would have gone bigger but at the time it was all my skin could take. I *thought* I was done with having kids, so I kind of freaked when I found out I was pregnant with Ash. But they held up well. Even through nursing. I went over the muscle and have saline implants. I went from literally a small "A" to a Full "D". But I am pretty tall. They fit my frame well. Now that they have settled down they are a "C". I have had them for 4 years now. When I go back at 10years I will go bigger though. Ask away here too. No shame in my game ha-ha.

Have you considered working them out? After I'm done nursing I just plan on toning my chest area like crazy. I've thought about surgery...But it seems so extreme to me.

The only thing I've considered (and I'm not sure if it's possible?) is to have a nipple reduction. I'm pretty sure my nipples are almost the same size as my boobs.

I used to do a lot of weigh lifting before I was PG with either of my girls. While I definitely think that it will help (and I want to get back into it regardless) I really don't think that it is going to lift them back up to their proper place. I have basically been pregnant and or breastfeeding/pumping for the past 3-ish years. The only part of my body that I hate is my boobs but that is also the part that I have been the most sensitive to my whole life.

Ahh....I am so envious! The only time I feel sexy these days is first thing in the morning before I nurse DD2 and pump. They are so full and perky. Then as the day goes on I feel more and more like frumpy saggy woman. It doesn't help that DH usually tries to get fresh right after I pump. Yuck! I feel so gross!

When you say that you went over the muscle, can that only be done with certain injection sights? I am thinking through my belly button. Is that how you did it?

PepperStick · November 2011

I have not bought myself new boobs, but will be when we're done having kids. I nursed my DD for a year, and now my boobs look awful (She's 13.5 months). They're small and saggy and feel so gross. Whenever DH tried to unbra me, I feel SO self conscious. I'm even more self conscious about my boobs than my stretch marks.

gisa886 · November 2011

My sister bought herself new boobs and she went to a doctor in OKC. He did a great job. She's never had kids, she just had teeny tiny boobs. I think after this baby and after I lose all the weight I want to I'll look into perking them up

I went under the boob for insertion (TWHS) of the implant. I have a scar on each side that is about an inch long. You can only see it if I am naked and have my arms straight up. When I have them redone I will go in a different way so I dont make that scar bigger and more noticable. I cant remember all the advantages/disadvantages to the over / under the muscle issue, but I know at the time I made the decision that fit my lifestyle best.

I bought myself new boobs when I was 20. I got consultations from 3 different doctors and went with the one I felt most comfortable with. I loved them until I had kids. Now I wish I had never gotten them. My left implant ruptured at some point between when I was nursing DD and getting pregnant again, so I basically have one C cup boob and one B cup boob. I had heard that you need to get them replaced every 10 years, but didn't really think too much of it until now, as I'm looking at another $6000 to get them redone every. ten. years. So, as soon as we are done having kids, those suckers are coming out for good. I really wish I had never gotten them.

So, if you do decide to do it, just keep in the back of you mind that every 10 years, you have to do it all over again.

This is one of the big reasons that I am not already signed up to do it. I am weighing the lifetime of maintenance that comes with it.

I can't imagine having one rupture. Was it painful? Did it happen all at once or did you just notice it over time? Were their any ill side effects?

This is exactly why I can't bring myself to do it. It feels like I'm wasting money. They got bigger being pregnant and BF, so we'll see what happens after #2. But they are saggy. I think I'll just get a lift when I'm done, no implants.

This is another thing that I was thinking about. The size doesn't bother my so much but their placement does. I have always felt like I was gypted when the booby fairy handed out the girls so that wouldn't be anything new. I more so want them to be in their proper place. I have never known anybody that just had a lift. I wonder how long it takes for them to sag again.....

Thank you! I will definitely check out this site.

Would you go with the same type of filler as last time or would you try something different?

I think i will do silicone next time. For no specific reason, just because. I have some time and need to read more on it. Good luck! I think if you do your research you will be happy with your decision.

I was a pretty hardcore weightlifter in my early 20s. It made my boobs turn into pancakes. Generally weightlifting = fat loss = no boobies. The same thing happened to a close friend of mine but she did go ahead with the fake boobs. I didn't because I have weight to lose, especially now post-baby. I do plan on having it done at some point.

Several of my friends have it done. None regret it. Their only real regret is, like PP mentioned, not going as big as their doctor suggested.

KJmashup · November 2011

OP, I live near you and can recommend a good local surgeon. I have to wait until I get home from work, though, because I'm afraid of my IT department.

Happen to know what the doctor's name was? My cousin is a plastic surgeon in OKC and I'll be going to him when I'm done having kids and ready.

RobinSparkles214 · November 2011

I have not had mine done, but I would like to after I'm done having children. I would also like to be at a happy weight for myself before I would get them.

My mom and aunt both have them and do not regret their decision. My Mom was in her late 30's when she got them done(after 3 children). She has saline implants and the incision was made under each one of her armpits. She chose this so that she would have no scarring on he breasts. It's going on 12 or 13 years that she's had them, maybe longer. She has not had to replace them yet.

My aunt loves hers too. She just disliked her small breasts, she never had children so it wasn't about that with her. She went to the same doctor as my mom, and did saline too. She has no scarring because they went through her belly button to do them. She hates them when her weight gets high, because they are "obnoxiously big" (her words, not mine). She has had them 10 years and has not had to replace them yet.

ASmallWonder · November 2011

Regarding the replacement - there is nothing to say you MUST replace them at a certain point. You replace them if there's an issue and if there isn't one, rock on

I've had mine for 10 years already and (knock on wood) I have no issues so I'm not about to get them replaced for giggles.

I would have to ask her. I don't know why she chose OKC over someone in the Dallas are, but she did

Do you know any of the details of her recovery from this? This is the way that I am most interested in. If not this way, than I will probably have them go in thru my armpits.

It is GREAT to see that they do not definitely have to be replaced right at 10 years.Give or take a few extra years can be a good benefit.

From what I remember her saying the recovery was pretty good. Not any longer than my mom's. Good luck in your decision : )
