Page 2 | To ask if anyone has had a boob job and how it went?

daisydaisydais128 · 2026-08-06T19:30:59+00:00

Please don’t respond by telling me not to do this and reminding me what women are far more than just their bodies because that is obviously true and I know that…. I just want to feel happy and attractive in my own body, and currently I don’t. I've always had really tiny boobs (28C/30B which actually looks like an A cup) and have always really disliked them. I know it's really silly but I just feel like less of a woman with them being this small. They used to be even smaller when I had anorexia years ago as a teen, they were a 28B (looks like a small A). I want to be seen as sexy and desirable by the right man and I don’t see that happening with small breasts. Please don’t say sexiness is an attitude because we all know there is a strong visual element to it for men, it’s clear, and boobs are a big draw for them. I just want some cleavage. Has anyone had breast implants and how did it go? thanks. X

it’s obvious that big boobs are the beauty standard in the UK and US, probably all/most Western countries, whereas smaller breasts are the ones which are ridiculed, or seen as a flaw.

Despite having had a boob job myself, I really don’t agree with what you have said above. It really isn’t true.

Presuming you've done ongoing therapy and fully tacked your issues around your eating disorder, and how that relates to body image, if you still feel it's an appropriate decision for you I'd save up 3 x the amount of money you think you need.

My hairdresser has a 12 year old encapsulated implant that she can't afford to have removed, and that to me sounds more distressing than not having socially acceptable fashionably sized breasts to offer men.

I had 2 surgeries in 2021 and 2023. 2021 I did in Turkey it was not good, bad scars, infection. In 2023 I went to Brussels to see the amazing Dr Plovier and I am so happy with my results.

An idiot who has no empathy for those of us who would love to have smaller boobs?

Imagine if I wrote that any less than a handful was inadequate?

Show quote history

I don’t think that the handful saying is intended to make larger breasted women feel inadequate; it’s obvious that big boobs are the beauty standard in the UK and US, probably all/most Western countries, whereas smaller breasts are the ones which are ridiculed, or seen as a flaw. The handful saying was, I think, intended to make smaller breasted ladies - the ones who are likely to feel less sexy, less desirable and possibly insecure - slightly better about themselves. Sometimes men say it to be kind even if they don’t truly think that. Women with big boobs already know that that is the beauty standard.

Breast augmentation is the most common cosmetic procedure, not reduction. There’s a reason for that - all of those women with smaller breasts getting implants live in a society where the desirable trait is large breasts.

I do have empathy for women with very large breasts which cause them problems, and it isn’t a completion of who has it worse, but it’s silly to deny that big boobs are the beauty standard and the desirable trait in our society. We only need to look at the media.

OP, you say you’re doing it for yourself but every time you post it’s all about men being attracted to you and how they view you. If you want to get a boob job then that’s fine but at least be honest with yourself and stop acting like you’re doing it for any other reason than men wanting you.

I think it’s both to be honest - I do want (some) men to find me attractive, but it is also about how I feel in my own body.

Yes I see what you’re saying - a partner who is only interested in women with large breasts for that reason would be a pretty boring, one dimensional partner. However the fact remains that on a purely physical level, most (or at least very many) men seem to prefer large breasts…. And if a woman with small wants her partner to be physically attracted to her, including her bust, then I don’t think it’s unreasonable to want breast implants.

Show quote history

But you’re assuming all men want big busted women. They probably aren’t the partner you want surely. The risks of silicone leakage and sickness are not worth it. Never ever would I consider that. Get counselling first I’d say.

The point is that if your partner isn’t going to attracted to you if you don’t have a boob job.. well what kind of partner is that.

It doesn’t have to be the only thing, shouldn’t be for a serious relationship, but it’s fine for it to play a part, and realistically it does.

Thanks for sharing this. So you haven’t had your implants replaced since you had them done? That’s great.

Show quote history

No, and I haven't had any issues with them at all. I had my first mammogram a few weeks ago and that went well.

I definitely did it for myself and not for a man, however I do think we are influenced by media.

As a teen, I was for example, obsessed with Baywatch and thought Pamela Anderson was beautiful. Even the plastic surgeon asked 'do you want Baywatch style implants - i.e round rather than teardrop. So even if not intentionally influenced, media does pay a factor.

I didn’t do it for a man either and I wasn’t consciously influenced by the media. I did it for me and I suppose it was pure vanity. I wanted my top half to be more in proportion to my bottom half. I had been wearing a heavily padded bra for several years. Nobody except DH actually noticed I’d had a boob job because I didn’t look any different. I was quite conservative on the implant size.

DH was happy with me as I was and I had to convince him that they wouldn’t end up looking obviously fake. He doesn’t like large anything.

IsItBeesThoughLooshkin · 16/08/2026 00:37

My Dsis loves hers. Her boyfriend couldn’t care less as he’s more interested in large curvy butts, apparently. But she’s happy and that’s what matters. Do it for yourself if you want to. I’m an A-cup and could easily afford implants but I don’t want any.

3678194b · 16/08/2026 00:23

I don't think I've previously mentioned I do have a numb nipple! The sensation never came back. It does go 'cold' but is less sensitive. I don't regret the surgery though.

Even in my 40's now, I can go braless. I'm a D cup and they don't sag at all. They must have dropped a little bit but I've never noticed.

Like many others have said, maybe I should have gone a bit smaller (even though I'm a bigger dress size all around now).

If I ever had to have them taken out and re done, and yes I'm aware many of us sadly get breast cancer too, I'd go for a C cup.

Bear in mind most people, well me anyway, went from a size 6 in my teens to size 10 now and breasts change.

I agree and I think I’m in the same boat; I am doing it for myself and how I feel about my body, but I have been (like many others) influenced by the media.

I had mine done 24 years ago. I was less than AA, couldn't even get bras to fit let alone clothes, I have big hips and felt disproportionate. I had under the muscle placement and am a D cup. If I did it again I would go a bit smaller but I don't regret it, have had no issues, and haven't needed further surgery. I also recently had a mammogram and it was no issue for that either.

If you were doing this for yourself, I would be more supportive and say do it as I have loads of friends who had theirs done and are v v happy. Your self esteem seems to be tied to what men desire which means this is an issue within yourself.. Kindly, address that first before you alter your body for the attention of a man.

Thank you. I think I am partly doing this for myself; I have my own idea of what would look good for me on my body, but obviously that’s been mediated by the society I’ve grown up and which I’m in right now. Is anyone who has cosmetic surgery 100% doing this for themselves, or does part of it ultimately boil down to an internalised idea of attractiveness?

My surgeon also didn’t rate fat transfers because you don’t get a predictable result (due to reabsorption of a decent % of it). My friend had a combined implant and fat transfer and she has a small cliff where the fat was taken from her lower abdomen

peppy23 · 12/08/2026 11:25

I wouldn’t bother paying ££££ for fat transfer. Unlikely to last long. The fat you actually keep is about 50-70% of what was transferred. The rest is reabsorbed by your body

Have you looked into fat transfer?

I don’t think I’d be a suitable candidate as I don’t have much body fat.
