My wife is considering getting her brests enlarged. I think it is her decision and whatever she decides is fine. I know that she won't go overboard, but like many women she wants to look good (for herself). How do woman generally view other woman with enhanced breasts? My gut says that if they wouldn't do it themselves, they are very negative towards those women who do? Thoughts?

Wow, I can see many of you would never do it.
Donny, you make sense.

3. I said she does not want to go overboard (i.e. does not desire to look like an adult entertainer
4. 14 answers and it is exactly what I expected

I'd use medical intervention as the last resort, if all natural tools failed , but that's my personal opinion. Some go overboard but others simply use it as a tool to improve, just like getting braces or whitening your teeth. I don't think women who have breast enlargement surgery are automatically insecure or have confidence issues. If you were given A-cup breasts, would feel more sexy having larger breasts and technology has enabled us to make these changes, then I don't see the problem with it. Women who dye their hair aren't automatically insecure, neither are women who do plastic surgery. While one's self image and confidence level can't be fixed with plastic surgery, I don't see anything wrong with wanting to improve your physical attractiveness.
PS: She should definitely read about the pros and cons though. I know of many who have lost their sensation and it affected their sex life. But good luck to her!

I cant really answer how other women view women with fake breasts, but it is a good question. Your gut feeling is probably right, but maybe not.
Personally though, I wouldnt want my wife or girlfriend to get her breasts "done", but that's just me, a guy who prefers 100% all natural breasts. I'm not sayin it's a crime, or that she's a sl*t if she gets it done, it's her choice by all means, but you do have to have the emotional, as well as physical comfort after any body modification, so whatever the decision, I wish you both the best of luck.

" How do women generally view other women with enhanced breasts? "
This is just my opinion:
If it makes a woman happy, she understands the risks factors (don' want to see her on some talk show claiming she was not aware of the obvious), can withstand the pain and has support (financially and emotionally) then by all means she should pursue it.
In the end, it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks - it's all about what she thinks of herself and how she feels about herself. Or in this case, how you feel about it; which apparently your very supportive.
Hope this helped.

Since I'm fairly well-endowed naturally, I can't understand why women would want larger breasts. Don't they realize that it's hard to find outfits that fit properly and you either have the choice of getting one that's too large and then taking it in at the waist or letting it hang so you look like you're pregnant? Also, large breasts can cause back and neck pain plus they add pounds to a woman's appearance. Besides, every woman I know who has them complains about how men don't look them in the eye when they talk to them.

OMG!
Look, I'm 36, have had 3 kids. In my day I had lovely, firm, round tatas. Those days are long gone.
Needless to say after all these years, gravity and kids they are not what they once were. Why does every one assume someone who gets them is trying to look like a porn star?
some people are correcting naturally occurring asymmetry and the effects of aging. Its not just about SIZE but SHAPE kiddies.
Also you may want to note that once you grow a bit older, your fat shifts.
There is nothing wrong with wanting to look as good as possible, so long as you have thoroughly investigated the risks, cost and understand, truly understand this is not going to 'fix' anything in your world.
I plan to get mine done sometime in my 40s, once the kiddos are gone and I have some extra cash.

Just because a woman wants implants does not mean she wants to look like some sort of porn star. Women get them for many reasons. The older you get the less "perky" they are. Don't forget about what happens when you have kids also. I can't even tell you the amount of women who used to be anti-implants until after they had kids now they are all dying to get them. Who cares what anybody thinks it is her body and she has to live in it and if it makes her happier then more power to her. Good luck to her on whatever she decides and good for you for sticking behind her.

This is very true, I am not negative or notice those things. But my mom I swear every time she can spot them out she'll have something negative to say. Those are fake etc... In general I know for a fact that some ppl are negative towards them, and some aren't but I think it mostly depends on the person.

I don't have a problem with it at all. If that's what she wants to do, then so be it.
To the kind lady below me: No, actually I don't automatically think she's a slut. Don't presume to know what I think. EVERYONE has things they would like to change about themselves. I personally, dye my hair. Why? Because I'm not too fond of the color I was born with. So what? You're never done that? Had your nails done? Wanted to lose weight? If you can honestly say no, you're full of it. But that was already obvious by your comment to me.

I felt like Dolly Pardon for a short while and considered nursing till the kids were 18...kidding. I went back to work a week later, maybe I should've waited another week..ow! Do mine look fake? Well, like I said I'm 48 and have perky 20 year old lookin' boobs!! Who cares?!?!

My daughter-in-law is very self conscious about her breasts and wants to get them "done". I've had a gynecologist tell me that she shouldn't, there are lots of problems connected with it, but other than that I feel that she should do what makes her feel better. I'd never have one, but I've never been concerned about my figure. (I'm fat, but I like it that way.) I'm not judgemental one way or another, except to mourn that women can't be confident of their beauty without all this extra stuff.
