I've bf my three kids and my former 34jjs are now 30dd and most of that is wrinkled skin. They look teeny raisins and are making me sad, I don't feel like my body is mine anymore.

I know implants are not for everyone but I would like to feel more like me, and I am not looking to justify the choice to have implants or not, but I would be interested in talking to people who have them

I have a load of questions that the BAPS site doesn't really answer what is it like living with them, do you plan for ten year replacement cycles, does it always feel like there is a foreign object in you or is it like piercing s where you just forget they are there; what did you choose saline, silicone, teardrop etc and why, what do they look/ feel like ten years on?

It is not about men pleasing at all. I did it for me. And my children did not notice. Even my parents are still none the wiser.

You had a painful procedure and are carrying around extra artificial weight on your chest for you?! How do you go for a run??

NewBeginningsSnoopy · 17/12/2013 08:25

By the way, I am someone who cares what I look like. I wear make up and nice clothes. I'm young. It's just that I just reckon that if a man doesn't like my post-baby body under my clothes, he can take himself off! I don't feel like I need to spend so much money on making my breasts look like I never breastfed.

Same way any woman with larger breasts goes for a run. In gym kit, trainers & a good sports bra Wink

snoopy I don't think you're responding in the spirit of the thread. Op has considered what she wants to do and has asked for experience/recommendations from people who have had implants. Not for criticism about how she cannot possibly be doing it for herself. I suppose heels & lipstick are also about 'man-pleasing'...

X posted there, my phone is slow!

For me the procedure wasn't that painful. I healed up very quickly.

lottieandmia · 17/12/2013 09:51

It's all to do with how I feel about my body, not a man. I had good sized breasts before children and by the time I was 25 they had shrunk to nothing. I don't see why I should have left them like that if there was something I could do about it. Some people don't like the idea of plastic surgery but for others it can do wonders for your self confidence.

NewBeginningsSnoopy · 17/12/2013 09:52

Haha I never once criticised the OP! It is interesting though that one of the first things up for discussion was the reaction of the husbands, some of whom were 'surprised' at how much they like them. Well it doesn't really surprise me! If its all about yourselves, why care what the husbands think? It's true that I secretly think your husbands are dickheads and don't give you attention anymore and this is your way of trying to get their attention. Again, I hope I'm wrong! I just wanted to pipe up and give the OP another point of view, which she obviously has heard before and doesn't want to hear but I'm sorry, it's my opinion and I'm entitled to express it. Lipstick and high heels don't do permanent damage and require a painful operation. They can be easily removed when not in the mood.

To the last poster: There are lots of other things you can do for your self esteem & self confidence rather than going under the knife. It is possible to value yourself no matter what shape your breast are, even if they have 'shrunk to nothing' like yours did (and mine have!)

NewBeginningsSnoopy · 17/12/2013 10:16

I didn't mean to say that your husbands are all dickheads. It is true that this pressure to look a certain way doesn't apply to them.

NewBeginningsSnoopy · 17/12/2013 10:18

I'd rather spend £5000 on a couple on months on a tropical island. With no scalpels near my breasts - just a nice expensive bikini. That would be good for my self confidence ;-)

lottieandmia · 17/12/2013 10:30

Well that's up to you, Newbeginning, but why should everyone think the same way as you? Each to their own.

Snoopy, perhaps you should start a discussion on this in Chat and not hijack a thread asking for advice.
