To ask if you have had a boob job?

I had a similar story to you. I had them done 18yrs ago. They said at the time they would need to be replaced after 10 years, they've been checked and are fine. My scars are barely seen unless looking for them (under boob). Best thing I ever done.

I think small boobs are so elegant. I used to have small boobs but now that are huge, they are annoying. I would swap with you. Mine are an okay shape and surprisingly pert but I think big boobs are just frumpy.

Where on earth did you get the cancer ‘fact’ from?

Please don’t put these things into your body - I have heard plenty of horror stories - surely something you put under the skin with all sorts of silicone chemicals is not going to be good for you in the long run -

My best friend had hers done and she sounds similar to you in size.

Firstly, she was black
and blue and in extreme pain initially as the implants were placed under the muscle. Then she was really unhappy with how big and ‘matronly’ she looked after a lifetime of being able to wear skimpy vests etc.

If she could have faced the pain I think she’d have had them redone at a far smaller size, ie a firmer and perter version of her old breasts

Yes about 15 years ago I’d lost 12 stone and they were like snoopies ears - I had implants which are fine still but I didn’t have nipples moved or anything so they were never going to be ‘perfect’ just a lot better. I had them done at BUPA it was about £5k

I had my boobs done 3 years ago.

You will/ should have a few consultation before booking in a surgery date. They gave me a bra which they put demos in, so you can see and feel the potential, obviously it’s not perfect. I also had a 3D picture to help me give an idea.

I’ve always been very small. I thought I was a 30B turned out I was a 28AA. I’m currently a 28F, which sounds big but I’m 5ft6, and never had anyone say they are too big looking. I did have 375cc implants.

You will be given an option also what types of boobs you would like - tear drop which are more naturally looking or the round ones which are the fake looking mores.

I love my boobs, and so glad I done it and waited til after I decided to have no more children. I feel it makes me feel more like a woman.

It costs me around £4500, and under the muscle but that was purely because I had no boobs. If I had boobs to reconstruct/ movement of nipples it would be an additional £3000!

I have had eating problems, if you do forward with it. You will gain water weight for a few days. I gained 10 pounds after surgery, and cried. Few days later it was all gone and must have been water weight.

I was back in work, a week after but I work in Admin.

Hope that helps x

No , my H cups are "home grown" (I'm also fat). One thing I would say is bigger boobs are heavy. I reckon if I weighed mine they would weigh several pounds.

I don't know if this is helpful OP but I had the same pre pregnancy boobs as you - tiny! And I always wanted them bigger.

Post pregnancy and breastfeeding my boobs are big, about a 30F I think, and honestly now I have big boobs I never ever think about them. It made me realise how ridiculous I was for caring so much about them being so small. Having big boobs has made no difference to my life whatsoever. I've found something else to hate.

That being said I also think you should do what makes you happy! And if bigger boobs would then why not - go do it and enjoy them

No, I'm a 32A. It was boobs or teeth for me and I chose to have my teeth done instead 😁

If you want to do it go for it, as long as you are doing it for you and you only then it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks.

Well to go against the grain of all those with naturally large breasts who hate them... I love mine. Always have.

I'm a 30h. I don't have back ache, have gorgeous lingerie (never understand those comments, where are people shopping?) and clothes look great on me, and I certainly don't look frumpy.

For you though OP as you've had an ED in the past I would perhaps be cautious. But it's your body, and your choice and if you think this will help you, then go for it. Do your research on your surgeon and look after yourself.

I had one 16 years ago in my early twenties. Probably one of the best things I ever did. I was a 30AA and went to a 30E (really not that big, no one has ever guessed they’re not real and as they’ve aged they have sagged a little and look totally normal).

I went with Spire, and a surgeon who was also a reconstructive breast surgeon for the NHS. It is well worth spending good money rather than trying to save on cheaper options.

I am having my natural boobs reduced. I am done, I want normal clothes and underwear and swimwear, and most of all I want the backache to go away. 34GG and I hate them. I look dumpy in shirts, my preferred clothing style leans more fitted and tailored but these two saggy melons are more suited to the prow of a ship. Be careful what you wish for.

Operation is in September, I will ritually burn the giant-strapped bras and skip to Cos to buy a strappy dress. Target is a C, hoping for B.

Yes about 15/16 years ago.
After I'd finished having kids and breastfeeding, I decided to get sterilised and have a breast lift and implants.
They've been fine so far, although they are not as perky as they were, but I think they suit my figure, which always used to be more pear shaped, so it really just made me look more hourglass instead. I don't regret it, in fact I rarely even think about them now, whereas I used to be preoccupied by how much I hated them

A friend of mine nearly died of sepsis after an infected shaving cut spread to the tissue around her implants. She was in hospital for nearly a month - at one point the doctors were suggesting they may need to amputate her arms to save her life.

That was enough to make me want to leave my tiny boobs alone.

I had one at 19, now in my 30’s and had two kids in that time. I don’t regret a thing! Mine are only around a C/D cup, under the muscle and tear drop shape so look natural. They are saline. I’m naturally slim and felt I didn’t fill out clothes properly.

I went to a spire clinic in and out same day, I’ve not even thought about getting them re done tbh.

I had them done on a Thursday and went back to work on the Monday (office job)

You can only tell mine are fake when I lay down (with no bra on) my consultant wouldn’t do anything stupid on me and also told me I’d never grow boobs as I didn’t have enough breast tissue/fat.

Well the main complication is the 1 in 57,000 people who die due to complications. And the fact that women with implants are three times more likely to die from certain cancers.

I think there is potential you may be just as unsatisfied with them the other side.
I haven't had a boob job but I went from smallish very much wanted bigger. To then much bigger GG after breastfeeding. They have settled to f now but I feel frumpy and I can't wear what I'd like because everything is too boobie or doesn't fit my chest. The bra selection is dire when you have big boobs. I used to wear the prettiest bras when I had c cups. Exercising is a pain. When I had smaller boobs I imagined being able to dress and "showcase" a bigger pair and feeling super confident. It's never been that way at all. If anything I cover them up because they feel a bit too in your face and almost distasteful.
That's how it's been for me I appreciate everyone is different but I'd give it some real serious thought.

I think given your comment about feeling like "less of a woman" and your history of ED then you ought to be very cautious. Sounds like you would benefit from focusing on your mental health before your physical appearance. Having big boobs won't fix your body issues all of a sudden.

I havent. But if I wanted them fixed I absolutely would. If it’s something you want done, and have the money then do your research find the right surgeon and go for it.

i have big boobs naturally and I hate them. They make me look even fatter than I am and I find it hard to find clothes that suit me. Bras for bigger women are ugly and harder to find. When I was younger I found men were often more interested in my boobs than me.

i hope I don’t come across as judgmental but for the life of me I don’t understand why women want bigger boobs.

If you can afford to, and you want it for yourself then why not?

i personally would not, because I’d be afraid of them rupturing and I couldn’t bear to lose the nerve endings in my nipples. But that’s just me.
