I'm considering breast implants, mostly because I hate how my body looks in clothes. I have a very petite frame and A cups to match, but my bottom is very 'round' and I have a little more tummy than I want. I can work on these areas of course, but I really think that larger breasts would off-set these larger features and give me a more proportionate look.
My husband is actually undecided on the subject. His major consideration is the cost, although he likes the idea of having bigger toys! LOL :) His opinion is important to me and it is nice to know that it's not such an important feature in his mind.

I have implants. I had my surgery just 4 months ago and I was very much like you. I have always been thin, and with that comes small breasts. I can say that I was an A before surgery but even that was a stretch. My chest looked like that of a 10 year old, not that of a woman of age 24, happily married and moving ahead in life. I had the surgery just because I could and wanted to. I didn’t have poor self esteem, and my breasts never made me feel bad about myself. I had the surgery just because I could. Having it did NOT change my self esteem, nor my self image. Even with small breasts, I was confident. Which is what made me such a good candidate for the surgery. I saw implants more of an accessory then a life-altering decision. Some women have very poor self esteem and believe that surgery will fix their issues. But it doesn’t. Surgery is a band-aid on a larger wound and implants may improve your overall look, but it won’t fix your issues with yourself. I went from a A to a D and yes, I absolutely love being able to wear bra’s that fit, have cleavage and look more proportionate in clothing. But I never once saw it as a permanent fix to an internal problem. Lots of women have implants for the wrong reasons. Just make sure you see implants for what they’re worth – a cosmetic solution to small breasts and not a quick fix to a deeper issue. If you want to email me, please do. I can answer any questions you may have.
Good luck!

Well let me tell you I had breast implants 2 years ago and it was the best decision I could have ever made for myself. I too had small breasts and after having my son they were even smaller and sort of saggy.
My fiance didn't care if I got them or not and that was very important to me! I didn't want to do it for anyone but myself.
I have had absoultly no complications and I feel so much better about my self as a whole.
I had a friend that had used this doctor and she had great results. He was a board certified surgon and this was very important to me.
A lot of people will tell you to get your implants under the mucle to achieve a more natural effect. I got mine about the mucle to save the muscle I had. If you get the implant under the muscle they have to cut that mucsle and you can never regain the muscle. So if you have any breast I would suggets you go over the muscle. If not over the muscle may cause a rippleing effect.
I would say go for it!! If I had to do it over again I would definatley do it again.
As far as pain, I actually went to work the day after my procedure and had great results. My breasts were barely a B cup before my surgery and now they are a D cup . One thing I would suggest is make sure to get the size you want. I have had some friends that have had them done and wished later they would have gotten them slightly bigger. So if you are unsure go for a cup bigger than you are wanting to go because once they settle and the swelling goes down they will look a little smaller.
Another thing you have to consider is that for about 6 months to a year after the surgery you will have numbness in your breast and nipple area's . I have had mine 2 years and still do not have full sensation in my nipples which doesn't bother me a bit but may some women. If you have any other questions please feel free to contact me!!

well i can't answer this question with much experience. i don't have implants but do consider getting them, and we sound like we have similar body types. my mom decided to get implants a few years back because she thought that it would help her self confidence and her body image. she tells me all the time how she regrets it and wishes she never did it. just think very long and hard about it before anything. in my opinion when it comes down to it, we're never really totally satifsied with our bodies. we always find another flaw, another complant. i would say that getting implants may boost your esteem in that area, but would the fact that you got surgery to enhance one area of your body lead to another enhancement just as easily?

It has most definately improved my apperance, i can now wear dresses or shirts that look amazing on me, like they dont on anyone else.
Make sure your only doing this as a boost, and not the only thing that you think can make you happy cause it really isn't like that. If you are happy with your self esteem a lil boost cant hurt ;)

Please do not go this route.... If you cannot feel good about yourself like you are now, you wont later either.... it is all in the mind and soul how you feel about yourself...... people go to such far extreme's to try to make themselves feel like the hope to... But until they find their Genuine Self, they will never be happy with themselves physically, emotionally, or mentally...... Think about yourself, and in the end you make the decision.... make it because you want to.... And do what makes you happy...... Best Of Luck
