Anyone had a breast enlargement?

I've NC for this. I have always been incredibly flat chested which I have always hated and been very insecure about and have always longed for an enlargement. for myself not male attention I should add. I do have a long term dp who loves my tiny breasts as they are and he would rather I didn't have surgery but I have never been happy and want to do it for myself. There's certain clothes I cannot wear due to having no shape and feel incredibly self conscious in a swimming costume definitely can't wear a bikini I just hate it.
I'm in my 40s now and now have the money to be able to afford the procedure, anyone here been through this and done it for the same reasons? How did it work out for you? just to add I don't want huge breast just small implants to match my petite body frame to look as natural as possible.

Hi OP! Yes I’ve had mine done coming up for 4 years ago. Wish I’d done it sooner. If it’s something you’ve been wanting for a long time, I generally think you should just go for it. I couldn’t wear certain tops before as I didn’t look good, but now I can wear anything. I wish I’d had my done a decade ago. I love my new girls 😁

@gandeysflipflop had mine done nearly 3 decades ago. They’re still in good shape thankfully but tbh I really wish I’d never done it. It can and did for me affect feeling and sensation, I’m slim and you can feel them and I know at some point they will have to be replaced or just removed leaving very droopy boobs. They balance my figure well and in my 20s that was important to me. Now in my 50s I’m thinking of my health and fitness as I get older and they’re not a plus.

@ConcernedCatmother aw glad you are very happy with your new girls! can I ask what was the recovery from surgery like was the pain severe etc? how long until you were up and about as normal? I'm hoping to have mine as natural looking as possible as dislike that obvious boob job look. does having the implant change the feel of your boobs to the touch. I know the implant is generally placed under the muscle.

@FeelingPrickly wow 30 years and glad to hear they're still in good shape. to be honest I don't think the loss of feeling and sensation would bother me as currently hate my boobs being touched anyway as I'm so self conscious of their small size. I would also like to think the procedure is done better now than 30 years ago.hopefully. great to hear you've had 30 trouble free years.

I had mine done after my last child was finished breast feeding (6 years ago). I also did it for myself - I’d always wanted bigger boobs, but after pregnancy and bfeeding they were a bit deflated haha. Went from a deflated C to an E cup. I love them and zero regret. Surgeon told me I needed two weeks rest to recover, no lifting… but I felt fine after one week and then was just careful the second week. I barely have a scar, it’s so tiny and hidden in the crease.

@Igniteyourbones glad it's all gone great for you too. I'd have been more than happy with a c cup that'd be huge to me as I'm barely an A. I always hoped they'd possibly get bigger as I aged and gained weight but no not even a bloody millimeter. can I ask how much did the procedure cost. I know it can vary I'm looking at a well known clinic but cannot get a price until I've had consultation.

I paid £4,750 in a private hospital in SE England (6 years ago).
