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

Yes because they are exactly the same. 🙄

Your comprehension skills are really lacking.

Well more fool them, fresh lumps of poison in your body 👏🏻

Aren’t you a treat.
I hated mine, caused me so much anxiety
wanted a normal shape, not size

i saved for surgery in the UK at Spire with a respected surgeon..

10 years later my uplift, nipple reduction and small implant are better than ever

I’m not a fool

I've explained previously . This was the 80s !

Just make sure you still get scans as you won't be able to have a mammogram. My dear friend died from breast Cancer after a boob job because it was behind the implant .

I am not at all against surgery, if someone wants it then they should get it.

HOWEVER…do it for YOU and how it makes YOU feel, not because you think a man will like you more for it. Do it only if YOU like yourself more for it, fuck what men think, the right one will love you big or small.

Is it only men who like larger breasts that you want to attract OP?

Had mine done about 32yrs ago with silicone over the muscle. Was a spur of the moment decision and I picked a clinic out of the back of a magazine. I'm slimmer now than I was, they're a little bigger than I'd choose now and with hindsight I wouldn't do it but they've been no problem and I won't have them removed unless I have to. They do balance my figure better and DH loves them. I've had 3 mammograms and no issues.

Off thread, but I had my implants put in 8 years ago and I’ve not had a mammogram since then. I worry about damage to the implants. Have you had any problems? I’m 62.

You absolutely can have a mammogram with implants.

Things have changed obviously. This was in the 80s .

Do you seriously think I care about you, a stranger on the internet. I think breast implants are dangerous, but as long as no one I care about has them, that’s as far as my concern goes. Same as smoking and excessive drinking.

No, I’m not saying that relationships are only about the physical, but physical attraction is an important part of it and I do want a man to be attracted to me. I think smaller breasts are a huge flaw for a lot of men.

Sorry, I know you said you want experiences and not debate, but don't you think that's the wrong sort of man? You're having a surgical procedure, with all the attendent risks and expenses, to attract a man that has that view of women?

And what happens if you have complications and have to have them removed? Accept that he'll leave you?

I had mine done in 2023, I was originally an A cup in one breast and a C cup in another. For a long time, I tried to accept myself and got into that love yourself mindset shite, but it was honestly messing with my self-worth, and I finally just said no more and booked it.
I went to Lithuania, mostly due to the cost, but I did my research and found a surgeon that was fully transparent with results and had studied and practised in the UK.
I flew out the Sunday, had the surgery on the Tuesday and flew home at the weekend, back in work with light duties on Monday!
It done wonders for my self-esteem. I'm now a DD, which suits my height and build.

Ooo where did you go in Lithuania? I went to Kaunas with a surgeon called Dr Adas Cepas. He’s brill, I want to go back to him to have an arm lift and upper bleph

That's great if technology has moved on.

Modern day implants are much better! ☺️

False. Please don’t spread misinformation. The idea you have to replace them every decade is outdated.

I really don’t think it’s thr flaw you think it is op. Plenty of men prefer a neat bust if it’s atop a fit body, it’s the whole image.

And do you really want to be with the sort of man who wouldn’t be interested if you’d a small chest. they’d only be interested if you’d big boobs? Surely that’s not what you want?

Physical attraction is important, but if you need implants to attract a man, something is very wrong.in terms of the type of man you’re trying to attract.

You need to plan a budget so you can pay to have them replaced every 10 years. It's not a one and done.

To answer your OP @daisydaisydais128I had a breast lift and implants coming up for 6m ago. After losing 10st I was left with little to no breast tissue. I adore them. I went to a surgeon in Lithuania whose work is fantastic, he also had terrific bedside manner and aftercare.

best thing I’ve done for myself.
