Has anyone had a breast augmentation? If so, I would like to know a few things…what doctor did you use, what kind of incision was made and how much did it hurt afterwards, how much did it cost, and placement of the implant. ---

Rachelle, don’t do it. I find small-breasted women extremely attractive, especially with all of the pseudo-Barbies walking around today. Far more appealing than that artificial look. ---

Oh, I’m sorry, Rachell, but seeing that sig on two different people I’m wondering about epidemics. My uncles like to say more than a handful is a waste so why don’t you tell us who you are dating first. ---

My boyfriend likes them just the way they are but says if it will make me feel better to go ahead and get them. (I’m sure he’ll enjoy them too!) I have had 2 kids and after each baby was born I was a full 36C. Once I quit breastfeeding they shrunk back down to a 34B. I just want enough to be a full C Cup like I was after having my kids. It would be nice to have a little bit of cleavage and be able to wear bikinis and tank tops and have something in them! It’s not like I’m going to run out and do this tomorrow. I need to get the money first and I still have a lot of research I want to do. I just want some info. from people who have had it done. ---

There was a thread on this subject a few weeks back. I believe it was called “Fake Boobs”. In it, some posters discussed having their breasts augmented and other posters discussed their opinions on augmented breasts. Unfortunately, due to temperamental nature of the search engine, I’m unable to pull up the thread to post a link. ---

I think the thread was called “Fake Breasts”, actually, and it was very popular as far as producing posts in the “Best Sequential Thread Titles” thread in MPSIMS. My guess is that “Fake Breasts” was in MPSIMS too. sorry. I wasn’t taking notes 🙂 * * * “I’m just too much for human existence – I should be animated.” –Wayne Knight ---

Well, FWIW, I’m a guy that just doesn’t get the big boob thing, especially when they wind up being disproportional to the rest of the woman’s body. The overall picture means more to me, after all you make love with a person, not their parts. That said, Rachel’s assumption that her BF will like them bigger smacks of a touch of sexism. You just might want to consider taking him at face value. Larry ---

LongHrn99 talked about > [@](#): > > all the big breasts I see on a daily basis. Lucky son-of-a-^(%\*#$. My girlfriend was watching The Newlywed Game last night on the Game Show Network. One of the questions asked was “It’s said that the perfectly sized breast would fit into a champagne glass. What would your husband’s idea of a perfectly sized breast fit into?” She looked at me and said, “A punch bowl.” Anyways, Rachelle- here’s the link to the MPSIMS “Fake Breasts” thread. Hope you find it enlightening. [http://www.straightdope.com/ubb/Forum4/HTML/002890.html](http://www.straightdope.com/ubb/Forum4/HTML/002890.html) * * * JMCJ This could be YOUR sig line!

Let’s be reasonable, John, I’m a college student at the largest university in the country. They’re all over the place. I find them extremely boring. Plus, you said you had a girlfriend. You’re already luckier than I am by far. ---

I just want enough to be a full C Cup like I was after having my kids. It would be nice to have a little bit of cleavage and be able to wear bikinis and tank tops and have something in them! Unless you wear a bra that is sized “nearly an a,” you have no right to complain! You call a full C cup a “little cleavage”? That makes me want to cry. * * * [Cessandra](http://www.angelfire.com/tx3/miscjunk/profile.html) The Power Of Christ: 2000 years and He hasn’t come yet! ---

Lemme get this straight LongHorn. You’re a single guy surrounded by college-age women with large breasts. No offense, but I don’t see a lot of pity coming your way. > [@](#): > > It’s said that the perfectly sized breast would fit into a champagne glass Uh huh. And the perfectly sized penis could thread a needle. It’s fun to rationalize, isn’t it… ---

Unless the breasts look like fried eggs, I see no reason to get the ARTIFICIAL BLOWN UP IMPLANTS. I think they are a total turnoff. Even Pam Anderson realized that they are hideous looking and had hers removed. But thats just my opinion and also that of most guys I know. Howard Stern likes them or does he?
