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

Possibly, BII can cause brain fog 🤷‍♀️

must be my lumps of poison 😭

Had mine in 22 years now. Had mammograms no problem. They look fabulous and you’d never know they were implants.

OK, Jackie. HTH.

And I have to say that my mother, in her fifties, was getting asked on more dates than I was in my twenties. I assume that people thought she was single as my father had Alzheimer's and was in long term care. Almost all of them were good quality men. My mother looked like a woman in her fifties and did absolutely nothing to encourage these men. She just had a very warm personality and was interested in people (but not in ever getting married again). That truly is the key to finding somebody - don't talk about yourself, listen to what other people say, I mean really listen rather than just waiting for your turn to speak. Being interested in other people will do more for your chances than any boob job.

I have implants and from my experience I had the same amount of male attention before and after I had them. I think rather than worry about what a man wants, focus on what you want (for you- not anyone else). If that’s boobs that will make you feel even better about yourself, then go for it but please don’t make the decision because you want to be more attractive to men xx

Many men actively prefer small breasts. I have dated men who like it (am small boobed.) and am of an age that the cohort of men I grew up alongside all had a crush on Kate Moss, who definitely doesn’t have big breasts.

My friend had hers removed after 10 years and it was clear they were making her ill. I’m not against them but that did make me think. Mind you, I have massive EE boobs that make me feel fat now I’m mid 40s. I loved them in my 20s-30s but now they’re just too big.

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.

I suddenly noticed all these men staring at me. My first thought was that I must have had something unzipped or undone but I was fully covered. I said to my mother, "Is it my imagination or are they being very weird?" She told me that it certainly wasn't my imagination. I was so uncomfortable we left. I don't know whether there was a support group for sex addicts in the neighbourhood or whether the locals were a very peculiar lot.

Agree with @Tunnocks34. if you are with the kind of man who likes to be with women with poor body image, you are just as likely to hear negative things about your bigger boobs, believe me, because it’s not about boob size but about putting you down. My sister has had that from past partners but never since she has matured and had some therapy.

I went for a consult last year and was put off completely. I am a 32A. I joke that my boobs started growling when I was 11, and stopped when I was 12. Anyway I still have tiny little boobs and my husband loves them and actually, so do I. They look cute and compact in t shirts and if I want a push up I can get a padded bra.

A friend of mine has had mia tech implants, these are more modest but not done under anaesthesia and a quicker recovery time. She swears by hers.

I am not going to tell you not to do it. But I am going to say that confident cannot come from a surgeons table. It has to come from yourself. If you don’t think you’re beautiful and desirable now, after your boob job, you will likely feel the same about yourself but with big boobs.

One of my ex’s loved small boobs. Didn’t like bigger ones at all. On a small frame too, they look great I think.

Hi OP, small chested 44 yo here. Just want to challenge the idea that men don't like small breasts. I've never had any trouble! And really enjoy having perky, gravity defying boobs as I age.

Agreed
i have nice (if short 😂)legs and bum. Not for one second did i want to enhance my boobs to attract men. I have always attracted leg men, unfortunately I also attract coercive, selfish abusers, but that is another story.
my breasts were tubular, they weren’t nice, I hated the shape and proportions. I could drew them up in a bra, but they were ugly.

i had to do a lot of research as tubular augmentation is complex and won’t be resolved by a large implant alone.
I did have some complications which required rework, I didn’t pay for a penny of that.
10 years down the road I love them, and I only ever did them for me.

That is definitely not the norm anymore, all the UK ones I’ve seen have been done as day cases. 👀

I had a lift with my implants and I adore them, I also had an extended abdominoplasty and stayed in hospital for two nights. ☺️

Ok Jackie.

I always thought smaller boobs were sexier, you get to wear blouses a little undone etc whereas larger can look less sophisticated. However if it bothers you do what you want to.

i researched thoroughly and didn’t like the UK approach of “two hours surgery then home”.

When I did my research, nowhere in the UK, not even the highly advertised cosmetic surgery companies, were doing boob jobs in two hours then home.

My research led me to a specialist surgeon that could do what I wanted. i.e. A totally natural look. The procedure was carried out in a large private hospital and I was in there overnight. The hospital offers unlimited aftercare in case of any subsequent issues. That was 12 years ago and there have been no issues.

Perhaps it’s just been my own experience, but I’ve always found men who are vocal about being ‘boob men’ as sleazy, sexist and generally less intelligent. Most men love boobs, but the ones who make a big deal about size…nope, I’ll pass.

If you are unhappy with your body and want to change it, go for it. Just be sure you’re doing it for you. My body confidence was low because I was embarrassed about my inner labia. It was horrible. I had them trimmed and never regretted it once. I do get where you’re coming from.

I wish you well whatever decision you make 🙂

I have small boobs and it was probably said to me to reassure. I was in my twenties and much slimmer than I am now. My boobs were smaller then.

A misogynistic arsehole?

Also don’t do fat transfer. It’s a low success rate and if you lose weight… it’s the first place to disappear from.

I went to Lithuania in 2021. Best decision ever.

i researched thoroughly and didn’t like the UK approach of “two hours surgery then home”.

Flew Monday, consultation Tuesday morning. Surgery Thursday, one night in hospital, then flew back Monday. Back at work a week later.

After a week the pain had gone. Wore all the support garments as advised (also had contour lipo) and five years later, it’s amazing.

295cc in each breast with some tissue removed from one to make them equal. Sub muscle, and teardrop shaped. So look so natural no one can tell. And you have to have a reallY good poke to feel the implant. Like it hurts level of good poke.

i cannot recommend my surgeon or that hospital enough, to the point im going for a completely different treatment there via NHS right to choose.

genuinely it’s been one of the best things I ever did for myself.

I’ve had both breasts removed because of cancer and am now flat. I was only about a 32A before. I was offered either implants or a flap reconstruction using your own tissue - this is considered the gold standard and can give very good results, but the surgery is brutal - on the NHS, but I turned both down after the consultation. I know a lot of people who have had implants but most have had to have them removed - the implant flipped, or they got capsular contraction, or they just felt ill with them. There’s also a chance of developing a rare cancer with them.
