I am very lean built, and I think if I had them done, it would look pretty fake.
To each their own though- I don't think there is anything wrong with plastic surgery. |

If you were to ask me when I was 20...I'd have definitely wanted them. I spent my younger life wishing the boob fairy would come. But...now that I'm 40...I am very glad I didn't have the money to do it. My girls are smaller but they are real and still "perky". I have not had children so maybe that helps.
The gods honest truth is that I never had to wear a constricting, uncomfortable, hot sports bra to ride/compete. I can buy all kinds of cute clothes and not have to get them a size too big in order to accommodate the girls. These are things I hear my more endowed friends complain about a lot.
I have always been thin. And I have come to realize that I look pretty darn good. Bigger girls or not. I wish I could go back and tell 20 year old me not to worry so much about size. There are way more important things in life!
But...for those who have them...and those who want them...do what makes you happy. I am guessing it's one of those things that you get what you pay for. So get references on the doctor and hospital...dont bargain shop! and be sure it's what you want for YOU.

(26). I have always been insecure and it has unfortunately never gone away. It has nothing to do with pleasing a man. I have been with my husband for 8 years, and beyond happily married for 5 of them. We have a beautiful 5 year old daughter together. I have an amazing, blessed life. I know God makes us perfect in his eyes. But that can't change a personal insecurity. I would do it in a heart beat. |

I am not like a super model or anything like that, in fact quite flat chested LOL
so to answer your question no I would not get them. I might if I had a job that would enhance my earning potential. not just stripper or model LOL but might for a sales job

Location: Oklahoma | I've never needed mine done, but had some friends get them (just to look proportional, not like a xxx star) and they look great. I'm 25 and confident (for now atleast) with what I have..... ask me in 10 years after I've had kids and I'm sure I'll be wanting something done.
Kinda unrelated, but related. It's not a boob job, but a nose job. I want a nose job desperately, but I know that my husband wouldn't be in love with the idea. I had a friend get her deviated septum fixed (she had an extreme case... constant nosebleeds, loud snoring, migraines, always stuffy) and had some complications and said it was the most painful thing in her life.... that was reason alone to not want to get mine shaved down.... it's purely cosmetic and I don't want to take the risk. |

It really comes down to your personal preference. If you want to get it done, go for it! But do what YOU are comfortable with, not what other people tell you that you should or shouldn't do. Like someone else mentioned, only do it for YOURSELF, not because a man is pressuring you into it. Not saying that's your situation, but too many women go under the knife to make a man happy, and that is the WRONG reason to do it. |

Location: west of East Texas | The vote is probably swayed by the original size. The A & B cup peeps are voting yes, the D cups are saying no, the Cs are ??? I dreamed, planned, saved and coveted one in my 20's. I couldn't fill an A cup thanks to some hormonal imbalances that never fully pushed me through puberty. When I was 28 I had to have reconstructive surgery on my hand and face after a car wreck. Kazaam!!! I took the opportunity while the plastic surgeon/surgery center/staff was already there... and for an axtra couple of $$ got some ta-tas! I'm in my 50s now and never regretted it. Only regret was not trying them on for size. The dr chose what he thought was appropriate but I would have thrown a little more water in the bucket. :) |

How would your insurance pay for an enhancement? I have the wrong insurance, ha!
I haven't looked into it but cosmetic surgery on the list of stuff it pays for but yet it doesn't pay for me to go to the chiropractor. |

| If I was small chested, A or little B I MIGHT think about it. Since I was a C in 5th grade and a DD in High School, all I want to do is chop them off. Since losing 50 lbs. I am still a DD but they have deflated. I want to get mine propped back up or have a reduction. I have grooves in my shoulders from bras trying to hold them up. I suppose fake ones stay more upright if done correctly, but the size issue is something I wish I didn't have to deal with. They get in the way and clothes don't fit right. I despise buying button down shirts to run in because they have to be 1-2 sizes bigger, and then the excess gets caught on the saddle horn and shows everyone everything! |

Location: East of the Pecos | You will regret it when you get older. My friend had it done when she was 20 and now that she's older and gained some weight, they look droopy and misplaced, but her skin is stretched out and she would need another surgery to make them look natural again and you can tell when she rides they hinder her. As for me, I wish I was a bit smaller because I have to wear a sturdy sports bra to feel good when I ride, and I'm just a C+ naturally, but short, so I have always tried to stay thin because age naturally thickens you in your chest area and I don't want that to happen to me (I'm in my 50's). I honestly can't understand why anyone who is serious about their riding would have surgery to add bulk and weight to their body, it seems counter productive. Spend the money on a better horse and let winning boost your ego that way. |

I think your comments are bias and misplaced.
A lot of people assume that if a woman wants a breast enhancement, she wants it so men will look at her. Not true. I'm 6 foot tall, 147 pounds, 18% body fat. Breasts are fat. I do not have fat on my body, so I have very small breasts. Yes, it's nice when I'm riding and they aren't smacking me in my face, but the other 23 hours of my day, my clothes don't fit well, and it's hard enough to shop for clothes when you are my weight and height. When I wear t-shirts or my nice work shirts, I feel like a child. It's hurtful when people think I want bigger boobs because "my husband wants them" or "I want to stroke my ego". I want them so I can feel like a woman. It's easy for women who have bigger breasts to accuse other women of wanting attention. I guess we all want what we don't have, right?
Also, to address the aspect of regret. My mom got hers done (she so nicely passed those small boobs on me!) when she was in her mid 30's. She is now 56 and still likes hers. I think if someone regrets theirs because of stretchy, droopy, etc, it's because their doctor was not as experienced. Hers are not sagging, drooping, etc. I can't imagine her without them because her body fits them perfectly. |

 Jr. Detective
Location: Beggs, OK | I couldn't agree more. I got mine done when I turned 30. I had a child at 20 and another at 28 and thought that I was done. I nursed both of tehm for almost a year each. I am 5'9" and had gotten down to 130lbs after having my second baby. Mine weren't saggy, just small and my clothes didn't fit correctly. I went with a size that is just large enough that people arent' quite sure that they aren't real, lol. Best thing I have ever done for myself....other than the veneers I have on my front teeth! I tell people all the time that my favorite physical features are the ones I wasn't born with :-D
You cannot compare real breast tissue weight to implants in any way. Mine feel as real as implants can get and they are silicone gel. Even in a swimsuit they aren't noticeably "fake". When my "real" ones got enormous when I was pregnant and nursing my children I fully understood why women want reductions. My implants feel NOTHING like that. They aren't heavy, bulky, or hinder me in any way. I can wear whatever I want and not have to search for a padded bra to make it look right.
When I got pregnant with my twins they did get big and uncomfortable. The babies are 8 months old now. I pumped for both of them for 4 months and got very sick and lost my milk supply or I would still be providing breast milk for them. I've lost all of my baby weight and my boobs are still right where they're supposed to be.
I would suggest to any 20 year old to wait until you are at least 28 to make a decision about altering your body. Your body will change more in the next 5 years than you will ever imagine whether you have children or not.
Edited to add: I can ride all day and they don't hurt or cause me any discomfort...and BTW my bra size now is a 32E. Implants are wider than natural breasts so bras fit differently and a 32E is not nearly as "big" as it sounds. I was 34C prior to my second child.

Location: MD | I would wait until later in life, things up top are going to change, weight gain/loss, kids, shape, sagging. I feel like it would be more beneficial later in life if you're going for a purely cosmetic approach. but if you wake up every day and are constantly unhappy about your chest, then do it, it's your checkbook and your body. Whoever is saying negative things is either jealous that they can't be honest with themselves or are worried you'll look better!
and I want mine done to be more shapely, not necessarily bigger but I want a pretty and straight smile first so that's my top priority.

Everybody should be loved for who they are, not what they look like.
That being said, I don't think any less of anyone who does. I may not agree with it, but I'm still going to love my friends whether they change anything or not.
I am grateful that they have breast impants and other cosmetic surgeries for those who do need them though, for medical reasons. |

Exactly how I feel. We all have things we like more about ourselves than others. At the end of the day, there are a lot more important things to worry about. Also, I'd never get past the "what if something went wrong" for the sake my vanity. It took me a long time to work up the nerve to have surgery (non-cosmetic) for something that needed to be done to make me healthier. |

If you ride horse and have large breasts they will definitely hit you in the face and pop some buttons. Believe me I know, been there done that. Glad I went and had a reduction.
I just had a reduction (12th) and best decision ever. Painful as hell, bruised like crazy, and those are some massive incision. None of my shirts fit. 1,100 grams total taken out.
I was a B until between freshman/sophomore year in college.. And NEVER wanted to be bigger! So I guess do what makes you happy.. I do know more than one girl that thought they wanted big boobs and they are just huge went from B to DD.. One is seriously is looking into smaller implants bc she's unhappy.. Another girl went from A to small C and she looks just fine. All three are athletic and workout all the time.
I'm excited to start riding again and will actually be able to not wear two sports bras or bra/sports bar combo!! I should end up a B/C when all the swelling leaves. |

Insurance only pays for reconstruction after mastectomy. They will pay for reduction if needed. Cosmetic procedures are not covered! |

| Heck no I would have gotten a reduction!! I don't understand young women "WANTING" to go through surgery if it's not life and death... BUT that's just me growing up with VERY large breasts... When I was diagnosed with Breast cancer last year I was a 38GG... That is not a typo...
And on another note, a friend had gotten implants from a average "b" to "D" and now 3 years later she hates them... complians she can't get clothes to fit decent. I told her before she got the surgery not to do it... AND I told her she will have trouble finding clothes to fit nice... She is pretty thin so with large breasts you get the connection. |

For the underlined portion. I don't think anyone who gets them done thinks it's a one and done procedure. There is maintenance and additional surgeries in your future that they need. Every surgeon sheuld be telling you those facts.
If I'm not mistaken you have to replace the implants every 15 years. otherwise you start showing rippling, sagging, or risking a bag weakening/breaking etc.

Oh really? My mom had hers for 40 years and I've had mine for 25 years problem free. l would do it again in a heartbeat. And it was all about what I wanted for me, no one else's opinion drove me to it. In some respects its like working out, going on a diet, tackling a tough job, or decorating your living room how you like it. If it gives you a better feeling about yourself and your world, why not? |

Location: 100 miles from Nowhere, AR | chasendacash - 2015-01-01 4:03 PM I would value the opinions of those that have actually had it done a little higher than the others. As far as having to have them redone after 15 years or so... Oh really? My mom had hers for 40 years and I've had mine for 25 years problem free. l would do it again in a heartbeat. And it was all about what I wanted for me, no one else's opinion drove me to it. In some respects its like working out, going on a diet, tackling a tough job, or decorating your living room how you like it. If it gives you a better feeling about yourself and your world, why not?
My mom had a double mastectomy with reconstruction 20 years ago and hers are still hanging in there. |

I'm in my 20s and my insureance would pay for it but I still won't do it. I'm happy with what I got. No need to go through all the pain.
How would your insurance pay for an enhancement? I have the wrong insurance, ha!
Insurance only pays for reconstruction after mastectomy. They will pay for reduction if needed. Cosmetic procedures are not covered!
I didn't read the details so that may be what it was taking about. |

Location: Louisiana | I had mine done at 22 and I love them! I can't even remember what it was like having smaller ones. I actually have a proportional body now, and fill out clothes better. Anyone that doesn't know me wouldn't know I have had one, I don't flaunt them, and even in a tank top or bikini they look very natural because they fit my body. My doctor only went as large as he thought would look good-that's another thing, I chose one of the best surgeons around who has many years experience. My sister had the opposite issue from me, so she had a reduction and then implants. They are the same size as her natural ones were(big!), but she no longer gets migraines and backaches because they aren't heavy like breast tissue.
As for adding bulk and weight when riding... I'm sure the 15 pounds I gained in the last year hinders my riding WAY more than my 2 pound boobies!!

NO. NO. NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
I've had big boobs almost my whole life. When I was 20, I had a D cup. Now, I'm 36DD (DDD during that special time of the month) and I am about to start looking for a surgeon to do a reduction.
Big boobs are awesome for everyone except the person who wears them. Sure, they'll be marvelously perky for a few years...but gravity doesn't care if they're real or not. What then? Never again will you go braless outside of your home. EVER. Strapless dresses? forget it. Swimwear? Oh you mean those things that **** near break your neck or slice your shoulders off? uh uh. They even add their own center of gravity to riding endeavors.
They pretty much suck for all times that you are not nekid.

Location: In The Snow, AZ | I'm notgoing to scroll back and find the person to quote it, but let's reiterate..... There IS a difference between a C/D cup wanting to go bigger for vanity/shock value/etc purposes, and someone who is a small A/B only wanting to be able to shop in the womens department for a bra. At a small size, it is even very hard for Victoria (Secret) to help when there's not much to put in there..... |

But seeing these things swell up and having to deal with them, I am glad that naturally I'm just a small c. I don't know how ladies put up with huge boobs..these suckers hurt! JUST a small C?!? Oh honey, if you were born with small A's, you'd be singing a different tune
To answer the OP, I'd do it in a heartbeat! Yep.
I was flat chested until I was in my 20's actually, so I have seen all ends of the spectrum. Still wouldn't do. it. |

| No Way! I like my body as natural as it can possibly be. If I have to go under the knife it will only be for a medical emergency. I am not well endowed, but that's okay. I like people to look me in the eye when they talk to me anyway. :) |

Location: Lost in the corn of Iowa. | Not my monkeys, not my circus. But really, you can in good faith wear a good prospect, a decent used car or a nice home remodel on your chest?? No way!!! And besides, you can get a flat. Yes a flat, have a good friend that actually had it happen to; woke up one morning and one side was flat as a pancake. And if they have to do a lift then it costs more. And most surgeons recommend starting the process again after 10 yrs because the implants wear out and are only good for so long. I couldn't in good faith walk around knowing that my chest cost 5 figures. But to each their own.

Location: Texas | The majority of these replies are so off base. JEEZ! First, I'd change your original question to "those of you with A (or B or whatever) cups" to weed out all of the "I hate my big boobs" or "Man, I'd love to have a reduction!" comments that are totally irrelevant to you. Twenty *is* young but do you really want to spend your twenties, when you'll statistically have the best body of your life, feeling insecure? I wouldn't. I had perfect boobs at 20 and Lord knows I certainly wouldn't go back and change *that* fact.
Implants are WAY easier to alter later in life if you're not happy. You can remove them, make them bigger, make them smaller, etc without too much visible consequence. You want a reduction or a lift (like I had), it's a way more complicated procedure with way more scarring.
More than likely, you won't hate them when you're older, they won't look ridiculous when you're older, they won't be that big of a deal while riding, they won't make pregnancy that much different, etc. etc.
I wanted to go back and add to this - why in the world does everyone assume this would be for a man? Or to get a man? That's seriously disturbing that so many would default to that train of thought. When I had a lift, it had nothing to do with my husband. He's a boob lover of all sizes and shapes!

These are some of the catty comments that come with this subject every time it comes up. I wouldn't change a thing about having surgery. It's one of the best things I've ever done for MYSELF. Getting dressed is one of the simplest tasks of every day, my boobs make that process a little easier....it's no one else's business what it takes to make you feel good about yourself.
We shave our legs, wear make-up, dye our hair, get our nails done, wax eyebrows, and wear push up bras all for the sake of vanity. Surgery is much more invasive, I get that, but it's an option we all have and unless you're being asked to pay for it your negativity is misplaced. Taking pride in your appearance is not a crime, but bashing people for it should be. |

Preach it! 
I'm also annoyed with the "wait till after you have kids" comments. She may have NO idea when, or even if, she'll have kids. I say do it now while you're young and can enjoy them longer :) Besides, when you have to pay for everything that comes along with kids, I don't think new boobs are going to be a priority anymore. You'll be glad you already got that out of the way.

So I ended up having the surgery in my mid 30's. It was not fun and the anethestic made me vomit like crazy. Not a fun combo there. However, recovery wasn't bad and the husband loves them! |

I've heard that most Dr's are conservative about sizing...mine wasn't. I made sure I brought in different types of shirts to try on with the sizers just to see what they would look like in my clothes. That made the process much easier for me and I was confident in my decision. My Dr. tried to talk me into going 75cc's bigger because of a chest wall deformity that I was born with that causes my sternum to stick out further than normal. I'm very glad that I stuck to my original decisions and at my post-op visit he agreed that I had made the right choice.
To anyone who is reading this and contemplating the procedure, read everything you can find. There are lots of message boards and articles that give you suggestions on what to look for and how to decide what's right for you. |
