In my country there is a great deal of counselling that goes on before breast surgery and I'm pretty sure that it would be refused if the person was doing it for someone else. I've read many, many articles where drastic surgery was done for a spouse and the spouse then found something else to find wrong about the spouse.

I firmly believe that any appearance enhancing surgery should be done for the person themselves and no one else. Everyone I've ever know who's had breast reduction surgery did it for themselves and felt wonderful about it afterwards. I don't know anyone who's had breast implants.

From KiwiJ:" I don't know anyone who's had breast implants. I don't move in those sort of circles. "

Now what does that mean?

I have read some very negative remarks about this...and darn it...we've given our opinions...and people who are FULLY INFORMED AND AWARE AND CHOOSE THIS...should not be denegrated by anybody on this damn board ok?

Well I know tons of people who've also had it done. Guess I move in "those circles" and they're pretty nice people. Lots of people have it done. My own sis did.

And it was not to please anybody else. One of the better things I've done for myself thank you <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

So will you quit bashing people and give RELEVANT opinions please? BTW...it's an outpatient procedure and not really imho, since I AM a medical professional, considered anything drastic. In and out. In about 4 hrs.

[cough][clear throat] er, ummm, no - never mind. I won't say it.

JP - good point. Four hours? Outpatient? Over here it was a night in the hospital but technology may be different where you are. Venezuela has the highest usage of plastic surgery of any country in the world. That is a real statistic. WW had it done. I don't mind that she had it done. It wasn't necessary for us. It was what she wanted to do and I supported her in that.

I am going to tell on her now. I took her home from the hospital and she went straight to bed. I waited on her hand and foot for four weeks. I carried her to the bathroom. She couldn't turn herself over in the bed. I hand fed her. After four weeks, she was in severe pain. She insisted we go back to the doctor because something was terribly wrong and she was afraid she needed another surgery since the pain was so bad. We went to the doctor and he examined her and said all was okay. She complained about the terrible pain and he asked what she had been doing and she replied bed rest. He said that is why she was in so much pain. He told her to get up off her butt and start being active. She asked if the implants might shift. He said no way. She said "let's go shopping!". She went from severe pain in the morning to braless shopping in the afternoon and bought all sorts of sexy tops. And felt no pain BTW.

Now that's what I call "Recovery"! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

My surgery was outpatient, and I think it was just a couple of hours. I was awake the whole time, and only felt pressure. I stayed off work for a week (I was working as a pipefitter on submarines).

It did hurt afterward, but not in any way that would incapacitate anyone.

Anyway, I'm still glad I did it, but would never do it for a man. Like Fraulein says -

"I really think that men who want breast implants should have them."

My BIL had a breast implant after cancer surgery.

Hey believer,

I was hoping that someone would take that post in the spirit in which it was posted.

I don't have a thing against breast implants. If a woman chooses to do it and it makes her feel better about herself, I think it's a good thing. I won't knock anyone for getting bigger knockers! LOL What irritates me is when a man wants his partner to undergo a surgical procedure, no matter how minor for anything less than an absolute need basis. If it's that big of a deal, I think he should get his own personal set. That probably wouldn't work tho - he'd probably be so mesmorized that he'd just sit around and play with them all day and not get anything else done.

And before anyone thinks I'm a bitter flat-chested woman, nature endowed me well. I personally can't imagine getting implants - I think it'd make me taller laying down than standing up...

JP, not being nasty, just a huge cultural divide.

I just don't know anyone who has had breast implants. It's just not something that the sort of people I know do.

Pio, cheap shot.

Kiwi... you didn't just say that you don't know anyone with them... you said...



WOW... Now I am totally against any medical procedure to enhance breasts... I think it is just silly beyond measure. But your comments are way over the top.

Kiwi, what sort of circles do you run in???? Think about your reason for being on these boards... think about your trials on these boards... I would just be careful in your wording. It comes across as very funny (and not funny ha-ha). I know your intention was most likely to not come across as though your "circle" is better than this... but I know I am not the only one to have read it that way. So, no more being a boob...okay. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I believe the ONLY reason a person must ever go for any type of plastic surgery other than for medical reasons, is if they want to do it for themselves. One must never undergo surgery like breast enlargements to please your spouse or anyone else.

I had breast enlargements almost 2 years ago. The reason: My whole life I have had a flat chest with almost no breast (smaller than a AA cup size). This had a big influence on how I felt about my body and my appearance. My H never complained about this and never gave me any reason to feel bad about it, but my flat breast size was very bothering to me. I can honestly say the breast augmentation is the best thing a have ever done for myself. In fact, I wish I have done it years ago, but initially I was afraid there would be bad consequences.

I don’t have large breast now (I don’t like large breast and neither does my H), but I just have a nice, medium sized “full B” cup now. Just enough for clothes to fit nicely without breast which appear too big for my size. Because of the medium sized implants, the breast feels and looks natural. I feel much more comfortable about my body and appearance in clothes now and I feel more self-confident. AND my H is happy for me too and also like it (although he was hesitant to let me go for the operation initially).

So KiwiJ, I guess I'm not in the type of "circle" you would want to find yourself in, right? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

men DO get breast cancer sometimes

and sometimes if the surgery was deep

they might have post-cancer plastic surgery

Kiwi ... chill out .... humor is a stress reliever better than an alcoholic beverage

Pep

WAT's FREE breast lifts!!!

Peppo, LOL a VERY cheap shot.

Like I said, it's a cultural thing. Here only society wives, TV celebrities, strippers and women having resconstructive surgery after cancer have implants.

MEDC, I certainly don't run in circles where infidelity is the norm. Quite the opposite.

Chilling out now and letting you all get back to topic. Sorry about the intrusion.

FWIW, Jen, I knew what you meant...

I don't hang in the same circles as Wall Street Investors and Rodeo Clowns...but that doesn't mean I think they're bad people...

Why, some of my best friends are Beekeepers..

Yo Low - what about Wall Street Clowns?

I've removed the offending remark.

Suzet, I think making "no" breasts into normal sized breasts is perfectly understandable. I have a problem with making "normal" breasts into super duper sized breasts, especially when it's done for someone else.

WAT, I couldn't open your "free" breast lifts which is probably just as well. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Hate to say it, but I've probably financed one or two of those... <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

Squid lost a lot of weight during her affair and her poor boobs suffered greatly.

She exercised and swam a lot to get fit afterwards however and her boobs went up from a healthy 34c into being a healthier 36dd . Try exercise before surgery if you want firmer boobs.

HAH OM, you'll never know what THEY feel like ! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
