Should I tell my Boyfriend I have Breast Implants

Hey guys! So I have a boyfriend and things are getting kind of serious. I'm wondering if I should tell him I have breast implants. I won't let him touch them because I'm afraid he will be able to tell they are fake. Ladies, are men able to tell right away that a girl has a boob job? How real do saline implants feel? To me they feel real but that's because I never had breasts to begin with. Are breast implants a major turn off?

Oh hun! I haven't had mine done yet, but from reading all the stories and advice on here I'm prepared for the fact that my boobs won't be at their best for a good while after surgery, I wish you had been on this site before your BA. You have to remember you did this for you, no one else! If a guy doesn't like your boobs, clearly he's not the guy for you. I worried a bit about how my boyfriend would feel with me having fake boobs, when I asked he pretty much laughed at me and said boobs are boobs, I think he's more excited about them than I am!! Big, small, real or fake, guys generally just love boobs!! I feel for you in regards to feeling out of shape, I haven't even had my BA and I feel slopy! It's going to be a long road ahead for me to get back, but I'm also looking forward to the challenge. Don't forget all the girls on here are here for each other, we are always here for a chat when you need it!! Give it time, your boobs are just going to get better and better :)

I wouldn't worry. If this boyfriend or any man in the future can't handle the fact you have a boob job, it's their loss. I am getting mine in 5 weeks. I've heard men say, they are a let down and natural is the way to go, but I just don't agree. My man friend now was supportive in my choice, I did it for MYSELF and no one else. If any man in my future can't accept that i have implants, then they can hit the road, lol! I'm 28 now. And I'm doing things for myself now. Tell your boyfriend, he may love them, be truthful. If he doesn't, oh well for him. Most of the women that you see bashing other women with a boob job, either don't have the money to get a BJ or have boobs already. I deal with the scrutiny everyday at work with my coworkers telling me they won't talk to me if I get it done, looks like I won't be talking to anyone;)

Chin up buttercup. :) I wish I would've had the guts to do this when I was 18. I admire your courage. I hope you're feeling better about everything now. It does take time for them to settle in. It's very hard to be patient though. I agree with Athletic.... guys just love boobs!!! lol Mine are silicone, but my husband loves them!! He could care less that they're fake. I have several friends who have had BA and they've never said anything about men not liking them. I wouldn't stress about it. If this guy gets turned off, then he wasn't what you were looking for anyway!

I'm gonna be prefectly and brutally honest with you, they look terrible and I think your surgeon did a horrible job. I personally think you should have gone with silicone overs as you are very lean. They do look very fake and you are right about that. The good thing about overs is that they don't limit your pecs as much as unders and on a lean person they tend to look more natural. If I was you and had the money I would go to another surgeon and fix it. About guys, you are young (and so am I) and you should not worry about what others think. Easier said than done for sure but if someone doesn't love and accept you for who you are and for the decisions you have done, they are not worthy of your time, hopefully this will grow on you and you will take things like that for granted. Sorry if I upset you, that wasn't my intention but you did kind of ask us what we thought and I personally wouldn't be happy with the result if I was you.

I agree she hasn't had much natural breast tissue to fill around the implants, but I don't think you can judge that fast, they are only two weeks old. I have seen breast argumentations where the implants were very high for the first two months before they dropped. Sometimes one breast drops faster than the other, point being you cannot judge before the body has "settled". Besides, being brutally honest? You could be honest in a decent, respectful manner - saying they look terrible is not necessary at all. You are always your own worst critic and she is already sad - and she owns a mirror! Some people like a slightly "fake look". I don't think she should be discouraged yet and wait a while to see if they change. Almost NO breasts look great after only two weeks post surgery, read this: http://i42.servimg.com/u/f42/14/52/89/00/fluffi10.jpg .. and to zipzagymrat about the boyfriend thing: YES you should, if he loves you he will keep loving you even though you had this procedure done obviously. Do you really want a man who would leave you on behalf of something THAT insignificant? If he cannot handle that I seriously doubt he'd accept a lot of other things. People who say P-surgeries makes you fake are ignorant in my opinion, first off: They are the ones judging the exterior and not whats inside which is what should matter.

Hang in there! It takes time for them to drop and fluff. I would give it 6 months before thinking about being concerned. One of mine dropped within a few days. The other slowly made progress. It can be a long process. I have thinner skin on one side and can feel some ripples in my implants too. I run and just had to give my body time to recover before running again.

Is rippling a big deal?

zipzagymratJuly 3, 2013
I got saline implants and my PS told me since I had such little breast tissue rippling would be expected. There is rippling as seen in this picture on my left side when I slouch. Is this a big deal?

Hey ☺BLOCK THE NEGATIVITY. Seriously, don't go to sites that are filled with people who are negative. honestly, would you really want people like that around you anyway? Read other postop stories here and look at pics. I'm no expert, but yours look similar to other pics I have seen of people at that stage. Know that your mom would not likely let you make such a major decision if she didn't think it was right for you.

Give it some time honey, they will drop and soften. It wasn't until about 6 weeks PO when I could see and feel a big difference with my implants. My pecs were super tight and held onto the implants for dear life...you are in super great shape so I'm sure all your great muscle tone is doing the same. Have u started massages? My surgeon had me start squeezing the top of my implant downwards to encourage them:-) around 3 weeks but I know some surgeons don't recommend them. Could u try mentioning your distress to your PS? It is not at all uncommon to feel the blues after a surgery. Im sorry your feeling cruddy after having your BA.

I'm sorry your feeling down. You need to give it more time to see the results! Don't worry about what other people think all the matters is what YOU think. There will always be people who agree or disagree with your decisions in life and you cannot live life worrying about what someone else might think or say! Read lots of story's on this site it will help you. But please remember that you are the only one who matters and if someone doesn't "like" your breast augmentation so what it's not there body and its not there decision!

You got boobs for a boost of self esteem and you ended up with soggy cheerios...something I think everyone your age goes through. As long as you did it for the right reasons it doesnt matter what others think...and if you're worried about your friends judgment then maybe they arent the best friends to have. It sounds like its not the boob job thats getting you down but your self esteem

18 yo with breast aug

zipzagymratJuly 3, 2013
2 weeks post op. What do you guys think? I want them to drop and fluff so I can see the final results!! Right now I feel like I have rocks strapped to my chest. I know they are far apart but that is my natural anatomy according to my PS. I got a breast aug because I was virtually flat chested, AA. I just stopped growing at age 13 :((. I am now a B cup which is what I hoped for. I really really hope they start to look more natural soon.

I'm sorry that your unhappy. I promise you it gets better. I had my BA 10 Weeks ago. My breast were high and stiff like a rock. I started to massage them at 6 Weeks post op. They have dropped dramatically and are a lot softer and have more bounce, so to speak . You just need to have a little more patience. It takes time. I think you will be surprised that your close friends will love your new look. One of my friends went to my Dr to have her BA done. All that matters is that you're happy . Not your friends.

Hold on! They will change a lot! When they start to drop, and you can help with massages, they will look a lot different! Just remember to keep breathing in and out, this will pass they're going to look better and if you don't like the way they look you can get re operated, it's not ideal but it's in the cards! And when your friends invite you out for the pool just opt for a strapless top or buy one of the new bikini tops that are more sporty those I feel help me a lot... As for how guys feel about it ( I'm a girl that hangs out with a lot of guy friends) and behind closed doors they consider that a bonus as much as we don't want to hear it!!!!!
