Hi everyone,

I am soon to be 24, I have been considering a boob job for about 3 years now it was never something that bothered me until I started to loose a lot of weight from my top section (from diet change and fitness) now my body is really un proportioned.

Everyday I feel my boobs are getting smaller I don't want to stop going to the gym because I am loving my new lifestyle so I started looking into breast augmentation.

I no a few people who have had it done and don't regret the decision and I no if I have them done I won't regret it either.

I am so self conscious and feel like a 12 year old girl I'm sick of hearing "oh your cute" I want to feel womanly and sexy and having small boobs gets me down and depressed, I am a 10 A to B cup and am looking at going a large C
But I have soooooooo many questions,
I am yet to find a surgon in Adeliade (where I live) and have a consultation,

One of my girlfriends had hers done in Malaysia and she was over the moon, I considered it but my mum wasn't very supportive she said if I really want them I had to do it here.

I no in a consultation the surgon will explain all of my questions but I wanted to see what people who have had the procedure done say,

Firstly and most importantly
I have a history of breast cancer in my family will It be easy to detect lumps and can I have check ups to make sure everything is ok?

- I am yet to have children so once I do can I breast feed?

- do you really have to have them done every 10 years?

- once I am older and if I decide to take them out will my boobs be saggy and is it possible to take them out?

- what is and how do you no what is better silicon or saline?

- how do I no what's best under the muscle or over?

- if they rupture inside of you is this dangerous?

- how often do I need to get them checked?

- how much time do you have off of work?

- is it really painful once you wake up from surgery?

I no it's a lot of questions and I have researched and talked to ladies who have had it done, but it's a lot of money and it's also your body, what if something goes wrong, can something go wrong?

I love the look of them and I no if I had them done I would feel like I have always wanted to feel and I would love them it's just all these fears and questions, especially never being under the knife or having anesthetic it's very scary.

Please share your story's and reviews good and bad!!!!

You sound exactly like me mate. There's Sooooo much information to learn about and sort and study and decide. At the end if the day it's your decision. Maybe get your wish picture collection together and then book a few consultants after. Google the most popular and check their reviews of course. They all use different brands of implants too. I have Allergan natrelle which has a life time guarantee. Doesn't mean they won't fail of course, but at least if they stuff up I won't pay for them again. Look at this site and all the reviews and you'll love certain looks more than others. Ask I can say is good luck mate. Ask me anything, I'm no expert but. Just an Aussie who had nothing and now have something...... Cheers to you and your journey.

Hello Love!!! You will meet many wonderful ladies here and they are a wealth of information. I like you had never had ANY kind of anesthesia and was terrified!! NO BIG DEAL!! The surgery is quick and then they send you right home. Post op is not so bad and you get BOOBS!! Make sure you choose a good doc. Board certified plastic surgeon is a must!! I had nipple insertion and I swear by it! I had 700cc bilaterally smooth round saline unders. I went from a 36A to a 36DDD and I could not be happier!! Would I do it again......HELL YES!! Do some research. You can even make rice sizers at home with panty hose and a measuring cup of rice. Most of all, have fun with it. I promise it's not as bad is it sounds like it should be so don't stress! Welcome!! Congrats on your decision. Good luck!!

From a man's point of view, I have never seen implants that looked good naked. Always look contrived, especially the larger implants. Seen several before and after photos and two in person, all look better natural. Do what makes you feel good but please do not let pressure of fashion, friends, or well monied websites influence you. Fashions will change, they are not your friends if they say your body is not good enough, and the monied people do not care about you, they just want your money.

Hi Jim, just out of curiosity us there much of a difference between the feel of a normal cheast and one with implants? I myself got natural ones and I don't personally like the fake look

Hey darling, in each major city in Australia there are hospitals where senior surgeons still supervise junior surgeons (even though the junior surgeons are 10 years trained and fully qualified plastic surgeons) and it's much cheaper. Cost was an issue for me because I feel like it's vain and maybe a little but silly. They always have a name something like the breast academy or similar. Good luck x x

Consultation

Hi all,
So today I took the first step for my breast augmentation!
I had a consultation at parkside cosmetic surgery with doctor Higgs,
In one word.
Fantastic!!
From the moment I walked in I suddenly felt confident and confutable with Doctor Higgs, he answered all my questions before I had even asked them.
He went throw everything from pre opp to post opp.
He made me not feel as depressed with my self now
But definitely more confident and excited to have the procedure done!
Lynn the RN came into the consultation also and they did mesurements height weight
Then Lynn took me into the operation room and explained all that would happen.
Doc Higgs made me feel so confutable not once did he just stare at my boobs he looked me in the eye the whole time while talking to me.
He even suggested I go away think about it even get other quotes and consultations. They weren't pushy with trying to book me in,
They have a surgery date in April but I need to really think if I want to spend all my savings on a breast augmentation!
As their are so many other things I want to do.
Dc Higgs sent me away with lots of reading and made me feel so reassured that no matter what time I can call with questions!
Really was a fantastic consultation. This could be step one in a very BIG journey :)
