Over here in Europe breast augmentations have been in the news a lot recently, so I want to talk a little about the aesthetics of women who have surgically enhanced mammary glands. Y’know, fake boobs.
Fellas - do you find them a turn-off or turn-on? Ladies - would you ever have it done, or have you already had it done?
Like a lot of cosmetic surgery, it mainly depends on “Is it well done?”
There’s also a point at which, no matter how well done, it’s just ridiculous.
Or it this just a pretext to post links to big breasts?
Shame on you for thinking such! No, I mean generally, if you see a nice pair only to be told they’re fake do think “Mmm” “Meh” or “Blech”. Obviously without going too overboard with it to the point where you suspect someone is smuggling beach balls or something.
Honestly, they’ve become so ubiquitous in media and in real life over here, along with bras shaped to make natural boobs round and high like fake boobs, that they hardly look weird to me anymore. Once in a while, you see a pair that’s just so large they’re over the top (literally) and they draw attention, but most of em? Meh.
I’m constantly surprised when I see movies filmed in the '80s, though, that so many of the actresses, compared to today, are so soft and squishy (if not downright “fat” by today’s standards) with small breasts.
I have ginormous natural boobs. I wish they were smaller, but I’m not willing to go through the risks of surgery for it. I find it hard to contemplate whether I’d have augmentation if I was smaller; I just don’t think the same thoughts about large breasts that small breasted women sometimes think.
If I could afford it, I’d be interested in some of the newer mesh techniques to separate, lift and support the girls, I admit. But “interested” means “wait for 10 more years and see if they really work long-term.”
As a woman and a lesbian, I loathe them. I can understand having them if you’ve had a mastectomy or just have really odd boobs, but for the average woman, natural is always best.
Pepper Mill invcariably points out the fake ones, saying they’re obvious.This has given me quite an education. But It Really Doesn’t Matter To Me. I find large breasts an incredible turn-on, even if (especially if) they’re outrageously large.
As a hetero male I really like small, pert fake boobs. Unfortunately I have never seen any, all I see is the hunchfront variety of fake boobs.
I swiftly voted, choosing. ‘I’d never…’
But, y’know what? After a moment’s thought, if I survived breast cancer and had mine removed, I could easily feel differently, I think.
Well, yeah. Nobody is going to put themselves through the expense, anesthetic risk, and recovery pain of fake boob surgery just to still be flat chested. Unless it’s purely reconstructive, which is a very very small proportion of all breast implants. I mean, if penis enhancement surgery was as common as breast implants, you wouldn’t go through all that just to get a five-incher put on.
Mine are already F cups, so just cut and paste everything WhyNot said about getting them myself.
This would be my choice too. But… if they were small and naturally shaped, how would you know?
Wouldn’t be the first time a nice pair has led to a full house.
Female, 50, small chested, and I’d never have it done. I hate them, they’re a nuisance. If it weren’t such major surgery I’d have what little I’ve got pared down even more.
I would never risk surgery, but would love to have smaller and firmer breasts. My girls have let me down badly (literally). Intelligent design my ass.
I dislike large fake breasts. I much prefer natural of any size, but smaller is better. I had one girlfriend who had no breasts- she had been completely flat except for her nipples (before I knew her). She had gotten implants that made her breasts about B-cups, which was proportionate to her build. When she was clothed you couldn’t tell they were fake, but I didn’t like them. They just didn’t feel right.
This. There was no option for “only if cancer surgery completely mangled my boobs and then I’d want reconstruction, but I still don’t want enormous DD-cups.”
Look, I’m 5’ 2" and weigh all of 115 pounds. Even a C-cup would look ridiculous and top-heavy on me. I have a tiny little skinny frame. I am not curvy or voluptuous by any stretch of the imagination. In my experience, a lot of guys* like* this look (I’m built like a gymnast with almost no T&A at all; you can barely tell I’m not a boy). So I wouldn’t be interested for cosmetic reasons.
However, about a year ago, I had a microcalcification cut outta my left boob. The surgeon took a large margin to ensure he got it all (and he said he did). It was benign, but it left a big chunk missing out of my little A-cup. If I was a C-cup, you probably couldn’t tell the difference. But I had so little boob to begin with that a 5 mm excision really showed up. I never identified my sexuality by my boobs. Or so I thought. Then the swelling went down about a month after the surgery, and as I was getting dressed one day, I realized exactly how much of my boob is now missing. I can’t fill out my little A-cup on the left side anymore; it gapes. I cried like a baby.
There is a very real possibility that I will develop more little microcalcifications and/or a full on malignant tumor. I’m now in the high-risk category for breast cancer. My grandmother had a double mastectomy in the 60’s and her husband never slept with her again. 
So, the next time the boob butcher wants to carve up my girls, I don’t think I’m going to consent unless my insurance will pay for reconstruction. And even then, I’m not going to go more than a small B-cup. Anything larger would look freakish.
I’ve always been an A cup or less, and have spent most of my life thinking about getting them “fixed”. However, when the time came that I could actually do it, I was surprised to find that I have some reservations about it. Not about the danger of it, but it just seems better to me somehow to try and accept my deformities. 
Yeah, all right, I still don’t like them…but they’re okay.
Dung Beetle, do not change what is already perfect. Please!
Fake is fake. Doesn’t matter how well the surgery was done. Small and natural beats large and synthetic any day.
Best of all is large and real, of course.
Just because it’s you asking…okay. 
Nothing hot about a pair of flesh colored softballs strapped to your chest.
