Breasts

HAHA! You fell for THAT one? What, you thought he was going to say he didn’t like them the way they were? Sheesh.

“Shiesty men and the wild teens who believe them” on the next Maury.

Why would fake tits make you feel better? That’s just more weight to lug around.

If you’re that uncomfortable about your self-image, I think the money would be better spent on a little therapy than on saline mammaries.

As a normal, run of the mill, heterosexual male, I’d have to say that a 34B is just fine and dandy. Heck, even an A-cup would work for me!

Alpha, we get the point - you like big boobs, good for you.

However, I, for one, would appriciate it if you didn’t speak as if you spoke on behalf of all men. Some of us do prefer the champaigne glass model thankyouverymuch.

My BF doesn’t even want me to get them… he just says that it’s my decision.

I’m just throwing around the idea of getting them. After hearing some of the negative comments made about them I’m kind of re-thinking the whole thing.

For me, I would just like to have a little something to flaunt. Right now they sag a little from babies/breastfeeding and have a few stretch marks. That’s what I really don’t like about them. I’m very comfortable with my body except for the fact that they don’t look as nice as they once did. But I guess it was worth it because I have my kids!

Forgive my ignorance on the subject, but if your real concern is that they’re sagging a little, isn’t it possible to get a “lift” without having implants put in?

Hmmm…I’d say that as we age, NOTHING looks as nice as it once did. Be comfortable and spend the money on your kids later.


“Hope is not a method”

Oh come on. Most of the time, I can barely speak on behalf of all my multiple personalities.

Small breasts or large breasts, they’re all part of the rich tapestry of hooters that give me a reason to wake up in the morning.

Feel better?

Isn’t it weird men only think of women in terms of breast size?

What counts is the woman herself, not her breast size.

Rachelle, stretch-marked and baby chewed just shows that breasts have fullfilled their intended purpose; it makes’em look lived in and happy. But then, I also think a woman, pregnant and happy about it, is the epitome of beauty. my advice: Leave your tits alone, toots!

TANSTAAFL!

OK, I weighed in soon after the OP with a juvenile joke (I’m really bored at work, so sue me), but now I’ll be serious and offer an honest opinion. I don’t believe in cosmetic surgery at all, unless it’s corrective (e.g. implant after a mastectomy, breast reduction to eliminate sore back, nose job to remedy poor breathing, etc.). Other than that, I think people should be happy with what they have. I get irritated in this day and age about people picking nits (and encouraging the picking of nits) in determining what small, trivial “improvements” can be made with a little cosmetic surgery. Personally, I’m much more turned on by natural, rather than plastic, women. I realize I’m pretty much echoing what’s already been said here, but as long as Rachelle is gathering opinions, I figured I’d add my name to the petition.

Alphagene:

Great quote! I may have to make that a sig line!

I’ll try to answer your OP!

Having known many doctors, nurses who do surgery and some people with breast implants, I might help.

The incision is made in the fold of skin under the breast, as inconspicuous as possible. Yes, it remains afterwards, BUT daily rubbing with a Vit-E oil will eventually cause it to go away.

There are several types of implants, ranging from jell filled to saline. A pocket is made in the breast fat by the surgeon, who inserts the collapsed ‘plastic’ bag. He or she then inflates it with sterile salt water or jell to the size desired. Once it is secure, the incision is closed and you are done.

Another form is breast sculpting where the surgeon takes strips of fat from other parts of the body, like hips, thighs or ass, and does major surgery in opening up the breast and placing these strips inside. THIS is mainly used for the reconstruction of a breast lost from disease.

Another form is the injection of fat taken from other parts of the body by liposuction. After the totally inappropriate and actually unfounded silicone implant scare, this technique came into being.

Yes, you will be tender there for a time and sore for several days, because you’ve been cut. In some cases, and check with your doctor on this, you might loose the sensation in your nipples. (Now, this mainly happens if the nipple is surgically detached for radical fat replacement or adjustment. Many implants are placed in the lower half of the breast and do not disturb the nipple.)

A good cosmetic surgeon will minimize all scars and invasive surgical actions.

Me, I don’t like MASSIVE breasts, but I like more than a handful. I did know a lady who had 46-Ds, and they were great but when she rolled on her side in bed, they hung like wet sacks. Now I have also met ladies who have what I term ‘tight’ implants where their breasts are firm, 3 quarter spheres and loved the look of them. (The term ‘looking like grapefruits’ fit very well.) I call them tight because they did not sag at all.

And, for the ladies, yes there are ‘penile implants’ for guys including the newly discovered oriental process of implanting small, plastic beads under the skin of the penis to make it lumpy and bumpy for her pleasure. Plus there is a way to make a man’s penis thicker surgically. AND, a man can get ‘pectoral’ implants to make him look a bit more ‘buffed.’ PLUS men are starting to go in for liposuction to get rid of that annoying middle aged pot that is such a bitch to get rid of.


What? Me worry?’

Alpha: I’m not asking you to feel sorry for me. I’m just saying it gets boring after a while.

So do longhorns.

I do not know much about breasts or breast augmentation, but I did hear on the radio about a pill or some type of drug you could take to “naturally” enlarge your breasts. It was called Phoenaz…I do not know how safe it is. There is a web site I believe which is at www.phoenaz.com…I have never been there myself. Look into it if you want.

Sorry I screwed that one up www.phoenaz.com

Alpha - sorry if my response was a little too snotty. The feeling I got from the ‘rationalize’ comment was that you were of the opinion that noone could consider smaller ones ‘perfect’. If I overreacted, I apologise.


Eschew Obfuscation

Naaah don’t worry bout it, Tengu. Snotty’s my middle name.

Besides, we’re both very intelligent and well-liked posters. We shouldn’t allow breasts to get between us.

Um… hm. You know what I mean…

Sax: So do smartasses. :wink:

Yay for breasts!! What, there was a question?

Former topless dancer weighing in. I know a ton of people with boob jobs and here is what I know:

There seem to be 3 major places for them to cut… one way is they cut around the base of the nipple (basically make your nipple a flap-up doorway) another way is in the crease under the breast, another is just forward of the armpit. How much bruising you’ll have depends on the size of the implants, the elasticity of your skin, and whether you get the implants above or beneath the muscle. One of my dancer friends looked like she’d been in a car wreck… black and blue over her whole chest. I think the first week is pretty bad, but after that the pain is mostly gone.

That said, I could have written the OP’s previous remarks… I also am considering having implants to re-inflate my sagging boobs after I am finished having kids. I don’t want huge or ultra-firm breasts, I just want them to round out again. Whether you like large or small breasts or have a thing against implants was not the question. Oh, and while a lot of boob jobs are painfully obvious, well done ones that like Rachel and I are talking (ie, not going SUPER BIG or ultra firm) are often indistinguishable from real breasts. I’ve seen and felt a lot of both. Actually, I knew a woman who had only one implant, and you couldn’t tell which boob was the fake one.
