Please understand that I’ve already thoroughly researched this, and yes, I’ve been on HRT for two full years and the best medical advice assures me they’re not likely to get any bigger than they are now. I began my transition when I was several years older than KellyM was, so the effect of the 'mones is lesser.
How do you know you haven’t seen hundreds that have been surgically enhanced, but they were done so well you couldn’t tell?
What does this comment mean? Why should I be any more of a “hit” than any other woman with not-at-all-unusually-large C-cups?
A reference to the brie, perhaps?
Wait, what? “Saline/silicone?” I always thought it was one or the other; does she have a hybrid?
I often hear of this happening, and I don’t understand it. Don’t surgeons measure exactly the volume their patients need to reach the desired cup size, and then choose implants accordingly? How can the size turn out larger than intended?
I had lipo and some face work done last year, and am very pleased with my results, so I’ll probably return to the same clinic. No, not probably, I will.
Thank you and thank your friend for this input! I appreciate it.
I think that in the interest of science that you need to have before and after pics posted. Even something in a swim suit will give a good visual of scale and positioning.
Oh, right. I feel stupid.
Having seen a picture, I will vouch for this. Damn, you turned out pretty.
How sweet of you to say!
Ditto.
Don’t feel stupid-it was a cheesy joke.
You’re up to no gouda, Czarcasm.
I will! I have! It looks like a great resource. Thank you!
Because you always bring a couple wheels of brie.
Everyone I know who’s had breast augmentation surgery say their doctors advised them to go a cup size larger than what they think they want.
Me? If I could go a size smaller without surgery, I’d do it. My favorite fashions tend to be geared toward the less endowed.
Are you concerned about losing sensitivity Fiver?
Whenever I think about augmentation, that worries me. My inner feminist is screaming.
Sorry about the hijack.
But why?
Yes, I’m concerned about losing sensitivity. Please tell me how this possibility, or indeed the decision to have breast augmentation in the first place, is in any way contrary to feminism.
I don’t know if it’s contrary to feminism, and I suppose that if I’m going to insist (and I am) that getting an abortion should be a woman’s right, I’ve got to extend that to messing around with her breasties. But it’s always struck me as a peculiar thing to do. Risking damage to one’s health (and make no mistake: surgery always entails a risk) so as to potentially be more attractive to people who prefer larger breasts over smaller, or to be able to dress them up differently, or for whatever reasons women have for doing this, has always seemed a bit unhealthy to me.
I’m told the “real deal” never appears to be as large as your mental image of the new boobs is before surgery. I’ve heard this from three women.
Me too. I could do without the D cups myself. Its really hard to find clothes that fit right.
If it were me thinking about augmentation, I think I’d try falsies in multiple sizes at a good clothing store. If you are going under the knife to change your body, you don’t want to get stuck with “damn, nothing drapes right and its a pain in the backend to find a bra!” Which are the complaints of busty women. (Add in back, neck and shoulder pain - I don’t know if the fake ones weigh more or less than the real ones, but carrying around the real ones has not been good for my back. Oh, and the “my chest is constantly covered in food” - normal people drop their food in their laps - every oops I have lands right across my tits).
Course, with the non-natural ones, you have less of the drooping problem - which may make the bra issues easier.
