Location: Kentucky | And yes, I realize probably everyone will open this, lady or not!
I have been working out since January, and have really gotten involved with health, fitness, and I'd like to maybe look into becoming a fitness model. I've lost 10 pounds, and inches off my waist. I'm 6 foot and 148 pounds, and look and feel great. However, as most women know, the first thing you lose when losing weight are your boobs. I'm heavily considering getting an augmentation, since I'm down now to an A size, and it just doesn't fit my body.
If you've had this procedure done, how did you find your surgeon? I don't know of anyone that's had this done except my mom, and she hated her doctor, which really scares me. Also - how much did you pay for your new set? I need to start finding dimes under couch cushions I guess. |

Location: Four Corners Colorado | I'll let you know what my sister says. She is having hers done this morning. As for me I have what most people would call small breasts and well I love them! I lost 30lbs I guess it's almost two years ago and my breasts seem bigger now than they were? I wonder if what you eat while you lose weight has anything to do with losing your boobs or not?

Location: Magnolia, Texas | I had it done after having my daughter (I called it a refill)!!! 14 years later they are still right where they should be!! There's a website called yes they're fake.com or something like that. I learned a ton there. Mine are half under half over the muscle, makes for a much more natural appearance (you don't get the softball crammed under the skin look or the gravity took hold look in 5 years). My doctor was recommended to me by by gyno. I LOVE him, I don't know if you ever watched the Bachlor but his daughter was on it - she's the one that always wore the tiara. She's a nut, but he was wonderful. Dr. Rose. Mine were $8,000.00, oh and you can get them financed!!!!

My sister had small boobs too and said she loved them also. She recently gained some weight and now she has C cups, and now she says she loves them!
I'm not sure about the foods.... I eat a lot of protein, veggies, and fruits. I am also down to a 32, and I was a 34. I love that I'm feeling healthy, but it's expensive keeping up with buying new clothes. |

Location: British Columbia | Quite frankly, small boobs or big boobs, a healthy body looks good to me. I would love to have smaller boobs just to reduce the bouncing and I'm only a C. I hate having to wear two bras to ride. |

Mine are really not proportionate to my body anymore. I look like I'm 12 now.... not a good look to have as an adult. I swear I'm not vain, lol! |

Location: Do I hear Banjos? | Well...as the President of the IBTC Â (Itty Bitty Titty Committee)...I'd like to toss a vote in for staying natural. Â Sure...mine are barely a B on a good day...but I think staying natural is a good thing. Â I was tempted over the years to get augmentation. Â But the bottom line is that with ALL surgical procedures there are risks. Â I'm sure you know that...and I respect whatever decision you make for sure...but just consider long and hard. Â
They do not last a lifetime...so you are committing to at least two surgeries right up front. Â One of which could be as soon as 5 years from the date you get the implants. Â That second surgery could come years later...but your health at that time may not be as great as it is now...thus raising the level of risk. Â There are a host of complications that can come from the implants...Rupture, scar tissue contraction causing them to be hard and oddly shaped, loss of sensation in the nipples, infection, hematoma etc. Â The new "fun bags" may not be so much fun.
And...I am finally realizing that although the look great under a sweater...most guys will honestly tell you they prefer the feel and look of a natural breast when it comes right down to seeing and touching.
Now...I have ALWAYS wanted mine to be bigger...to fill out a bikini better...but at 41 I just try to exercise and stay toned. (5' 8", long legged and 122#) I am happy to say that "the Girls" still sit up all perky and that I have quality...not quantity. Â 
If you are getting them to further a modeling career...unless you model nude...perhaps you could just use a push up or gel bra to get the desired effect? |

| So i'm between a A and a B.... but when i wear a Victoria Secrect Very Sexy Push Up Bra they look wonderful!! I have gained a bit of weight over the winter so i'm more to a B and he have been boucing when i ride and it is painful! I'm acutally looking forward to loosing a bit! So maybe before u go getting the work done try some really good bras!!
ETA Victoria Secret also makes some very good bikini's that have the push up built in too!!

Location: NE Texas | I SO wish I could give you any, or all of what I have. I'm a 34 DDD, all natur-al and I hate it. I would give anything to be an A or B cup just so I could get a button up shirt to fit and didn't have the HUGE bounce when I ride. My shoulders are killing me. I'm not overweight at all, and even when I have been heavier and lost weight, unfortunately my boobs never changed. :(
I can completely understand why you would want to do this and why others have chosen to do it, but I would surely like to go the opposite direction.

My neice had hers done a couple of years ago (from an A cup to a C, just so she could look proportional) and I believe it cost around $7k. |

I have a friend that is saving up for a reduction. Hers is causing her back pain, and I know she is miserable. |

Yep, same reason I'd like to get mine done. It's not to impress men or my husband, I just want them.
The VS bras are great, but at the end of the day, they come off and I still have to look in the mirror. I just don't like them. |

I would love to and have read up on the procedure, but have a couple of friends who have done it and the results haven't been permanent for them and the recovery is really long from what I understand. |

| My sister in-law got hers done last year. They lived in North Carolina at the time and she did a lot of research on her doctor. She went with saline because they would look more natural after time and if one burst it wouldn't be as dangerous. She paid 4000. Went from a size A to a C. Her doctor told her he would only implant the largest size that would fit her body and look natural and if she was looking for an enormous size than she would have to go somewhere else. She had no bruising, scars are very little. they went in underneath the breast not the arm pit. She probably could have gotten a D and it still look proportionate to her body.

I heard that they have to remove the nipple and then reattach it after they remove tissue. Lots of time off after that |

Location: Randolph, Utah | I had a friend get the gummy bear procedure I think she had it done on a Thursday and was back to work Monday. She showed them to me a week later and they looked great! Minimal swelling and no bruising, she said not a lot of pain either. She doesn't ride but I think she was back running in a few weeks. |

Location: Missouri | As second in command of the IBTC, I have an idea! How about, now that we can post photos again, we get the guys on here to start us a fund - with the promise of bikini pics after the procedures are done. Shoot - if the any of the gals wanna contribute it's all good.
For those of you considering reduction, not sure what to tell ya as far as a plan. Maybe tell the guys you will post bikini pics right BEFORE you go in for the procedure??
I am a size one, and the only time I ever had a set was when I was nursing. I was lucky enough for the rest of me to drop back to regular size pretty much right after having the kids, but kept a very healthy pair of tata's until I quit nursing (I nursed continuously for five years - the first until second was born two years later, the second until she was three). It was nice, but not enough to have another little one! At 44 I'm still a size one, but B cup (and I am starting to think that what WAS in my boobs has somehow started migrating to my lower booty - cruel trick that one).
A friend of mine had augmentation, and she loves it five years later. Was a longer recovery time than I would have expected.
So....what ya think...Bikinis for Boobies fund?? JK, but I'm bored today.  |

Location: The Oklahoma plains. | Those who say you have to have them redone in a life time are mis informed. Its like saying you will have to have a new engine put in your car, not the case if you take care of it, make sense?
I had mine done in 2000 so it was obviously cheaper then. That was when silicone was a big no no but I think they are back and I recommend them. I was tall and thin (so I understand how you feel) and my surgeon recommended a C to look natural. I wish I had gone D but that is my only hindsight- other than I wish I had done them when I was 18 or 20.
I will say that tearing your sternum muscles away from your chest is likely the most painful thing I have yet encountered. |

This is just for my own personal knowledge file, but... how do you "take care of them" or not, I suppose?

Location: Kentucky | My mom had hers done almost 20 years ago and she doesn't need any additional surgery either.
I had Lasik done and they told me I COULD have to get another surgery, but that just depends on my body. So, I'm not real worried about it.
Thanks everyone for their insights, and those who have PM'd me. |
