Planning breast augmentation surgery.

I buy 34D because you can’t FIND 32D, but when I went to the fancy boutique at the fancy mall (the one I can’t afford to shop at) and had the professional lady measure my correct bra size, that’s what she said.

Is that the place at Phipps Plaza Mall that advertises “the best-fitting bra you’ll ever own”? Or was this before you moved here?

Hell if I know. I never went back–I’m not a mall person to begin with, and that one was way beyond my means. It was before I officially moved down here and didn’t know where anything was, either, so I couldn’t even tell you the general vicinity.

Imagine trying to find 32DD. It’s a pain in the ass.

Just stop having such big boobs, Alice! Sheeeesh!

:smiley:

Nice photos, and the C looks like it would be about perfect. And overall, you look like you’re doing great with your transition.

By the way, I was shooting for a C with my surgery, but ended up with a D. It’s not an exact science–the implants are rated in cc’s not cup sizes, as you know. I like what I got, though. It balances out my ghetto booty. :slight_smile:

If that’s where the pain is, you’re not wearing the bra properly in the first place. :wink:

Why, thank you!

Well, I am male, and I strongly suggest that you leave them alone.

I’ve known more girls that were annoyed by large tits than small ones

  • and yours look medium

You may not believe it, but rather a lot of males are rather keen on a small handful, especially if Pinky and Perky have not been surgically detatched from the rest of the apparatus.

Your tits look very nice, find someone who appreciates them, and if you have someone who does not, then you have problems.

You’re a knockout, Fiver. The picture with you and the C-cup forms looks just about perfect, I agree. If I were ever going to get breast surgery (which I’m not, but if I were), that’s the look I’d go for.

Wow, FRDE, way to completely ignore her request in the OP: “I’m not looking for anyone to tell me I shouldn’t have this done; my mind is made up.”

Your opinion on whether or not she should have this done is irrelevant and specifically not wanted, so why bother coming in and saying it?

But the ones you see in the photos I linked to are not mine; they are breast forms tucked into my bra. As I’ve said already in several posts in this thread.

You may not believe it, but what males are “keen on” is not the first, the tenth, or even the hundredth among my reasons for having my breasts augmented. I’m doing this for myself, not for any man (or other woman, for that matter).

Except they’re not mine. RTFT before you post.

And as OpalCat noted, I did not start this thread to hear from people advising me against having this surgery. Again, RTFT.

What a sweet thing to say! Thank you!

Well, I like the look of the C cup forms you had in too, but B would also look fine too. The advice I have to you is talk to other women who are starting with the same size and went to the C, and if possible making the change at the same age and skin type. That may give you a better idea on how your body will adjust. Trying to pack too much in can cause more trouble than you want, but I have no idea what too much is for you.

Also, give yourself time to get used to them, and be gentle with yourself. They will get in the way and be sore in ways that forms just don’t prepare you for.

Hope this isn’t headed straight for the pit, but could someone cite the scientist that discovered that the seat of self-esteem and self-confidence is found directly inside large breasts? I must be a genetic anomaly since even with only my almost A’s, I still have enough confidence to hold my head up in public. Where exactly is confidence and esteem seated in men? Perhaps in their external sexual characteristics as well? If so, why don’t I hear more about testicular augmentation or penis extension surgery?

I’ve watched the plastic surgery show on I think VH1 or E a few times and I’ve never heard any of the doctors mention to the women that come in for the giganto-boobs that it may interfere with their ability to breast feed at some future time or that they may lose nipple sensitivity, or that anytime anyone goes under the knife there is a chance for infection and possibly even death. I imagine it is probably in the fine print of some release they probably ask these women to sign.

I wouldn’t wish breast augmentation on my daughters any more than I would wish the type clitoral amputation still performed in some cultures. But I’m the type of person who would never dock my dogs tail or ears, if that says anything.

Someone please help me understand why our society thinks this OK. Please also address how cutting people open without a medical reason doesn’t violate the Hippocratic oath.

BTW- HooiserDaddy LOVES my almost A’s with a deep an abiding affection.

Um, nobody said that you have to have big boobs to have confidence. Chip on your shoulder much?? What was said was that someone was unhappy with an aspect of their appearance, and had more confidence after they changed that aspect. It could have been breast size, hair color, crooked teeth–anything. If someone doesn’t feel attractive (for whatever reason, but we’re talking about PERSONAL AESTHETICS here, so YOUR idea of what is attractive is completely irrelevant) then their confidence will suffer. It’s all great and well to say you should just “be happy with whatever you have” but then ideally we should also never eat foods with artificial coloring or preservatives, drive cars that run on petroleum fuel, or all sorts of other things, but we do them.

There is a MASSIVE difference between female castration and breast augmentation and if you can’t see that, I’m afraid you’re blind and beyond my patience threshold to deal with.

Nobody is suggesting that YOU have this operation. Why should you care if someone who wants it done to their own body gets it done? It’s absolutely 100% none of your business, and I find it offensive that you thought your opinion sooooo important that you just had to waltz into a thread where it is very specifically stated that they are NOT looking for opinions or arguments about IF they should have the surgery, and spew out your righteous indignation that someone DARE to do something to her own body that will make them feel better about herself.

Aw, you’re cute. Those breast forms look a bit on the big side to me, but I’m a straight girl with As, so. Whatever size makes you happy.

Since you’re starting with an A, you’ll be getting submuscular implants, which require more extensive work, swelling and healing. Getting a silicone implant also means that your implant can’t be filled/adjusted after the operation, so you can’t have a minimally invasive surgery.

Well, you probably already knew all that, but it’s something to keep in mind when looking at other people’s experiences. Someone who got a subglandular saline implant will have a very different story.

Good luck!

Thank you! You’re very kind.

I’m not sure you’re right about the sub-muscular implants; I read in one website that transgirls like me usually have to get their implants on top of the muscle, not under it. Something about the thickness of the chest wall in genetic males.

But I couldn’t have minimally-invasive surgery in any case, since I also need nipple relocation.

So, with the new jello-mold ones does that mean they don’t have to be replaced every ten years?
