Finally have the surgery date!!
ORIGINAL POST
Hi all! I'm a 21 year old female from New Zealand....
$5,000
Hi all! I'm a 21 year old female from New Zealand. I have had no kids! I'm a 34 b.... Roughly. About a size 8, but a curves size 8.
I've been wanting boobs for a long time now, I think I have found a surgeon in Auckland, Julian loft. A friend of mine got hers done with him and they look really amazing!
However I have concerns like everyone else! First of is money, I already have a loan for a car and the bank has said I can extend it to provide for the extra 13k. I can afford the payments, but of course do I want to be paying a loan of still in a few years.
Next concern is my breast and if il suit it. My nipples more point towards the side than to the front. Also quite far apart, so I wonder if I got implants would it mimick my original breast placement? Anyone have this problem before breast implants?
Because I have had no children... I wonder what my breast will look like when I'm breast feeding and after breast feeding... And whether or not I could breast feed! Anyone on this subject? Anyone had to get them re done?
I don't want them looking to fake! And do they soften to almost feel natural again?
Any help would be awesome!!

Hi! I had breast implants for 3.5 years and got them removed two days ago. I've posted a review on breast implants, if you want, you may read it. I personally think you look great and young without them. Good luck!
September 15, 2013
Think twice! I removed mind after 3 months. Love yourself... if anything look into fat transfer before deciding on implants. You look pretty!

Hi, your "befores" are what I hope my "afters" look like (explant , that is).
September 17, 2013
I think my "befores" are similar to yours. I thought mine pointed out a bit. Since I've got implants (almost 3 months ago) it made my breasts appear better. The surgeon has to take into consideration the shape of your BONES! They should be able to tell you what shape/style/size will give you the best end result. Just be sure to voice your concerns so you don't end up with a shape you don't want. That is one of their jobs, and ask exactly where your incisions will be-mine are "fold", but they are above my exact fold so they're more visible when I'm naked. I still wouldn't change having a BA, I just should've asked more questions...if I would've known what to expect in all of these areas-just one of many reasons why this site is so helpful. Best of luck no matter what you choose :)

Also my sister had hers sub muscular and has breast fed 4 children with zero problems. Mine are subglandular, I have all of my feeling and love the way they "sit". I'm sure either way there will be a risk of possible breast feeding issues-but from everyone I know of, no matter what position-they were all able to breast feed!
September 17, 2013
Ah thankyou so much for your advice. It's hard choice to make! But il check out your profile for sure!
September 17, 2013
I get what you mean, how did he know where to put them? Or was it just because your breasts dropped lower than the cuts?

Another thought
I have this one bra, which is one of those "wonderbras" it may sound werid, but I hate wearing it. I can't quite put my Finger on it... My uncomfortable and I feel like a cheater.... And even when I wear my clothes over the top it looks funny.... Anyone else get this before a BA? Is it cause I'm not use to boobs.... Or do I not like te look of boobs in clothes?... So scared of messaging my boobs up. I'd rather have them the way they are now than not be happy with them after I've spent all the money.... Awwwww anyone else like me before the BA?

Hey the statistics are 307000 women get BA in USA a year!!!!!!!! So if you want to be more happy with your body then go for it!!!! We live only once!!! Enjoy it. I m having my BA oct 25 and I am 10 years older and I regret so much of not having it done years ago!!! But it's never to late !!!!
September 19, 2013
Agree! You will always regret not knowing or not taking the chance if you have thought about it this much and have done a lot of research and joining forums.. Sounds like you are really serious about this. Check out theforum just bbreast implants. It's a great forum for support and info. I use that and this site!
September 19, 2013
I guess the money is a major thing. A big commitment. And I am possibly looking and moving countries next year. Trying to get a job in Canada, and my partner too!
September 19, 2013
You could look into getting your surgery done in a different country... Mine is 6500 from a very known doctor. If you plan on moving to Canada, maybe look into a doctor there. Either way, do what makes you happy

Out of a population of 316.7 million...small number relative to that.
September 19, 2013
Don't forget about men and kids lol. 317 million are everyone. But 320000 women that's a lot. And that's a year!!!
September 19, 2013
Just doesn't sound like a lot to me. Regardless, even if everyone was doing it doesn't mean she should. She's the one who has to live with her decision and she has several concerns.
September 19, 2013
Didnt see that she had concerns. Whatever you say. Noone is pressuring anyone to do anything. Good luck.
September 19, 2013
A population of 316 million in the US. Divide that by half for women. 150 million. Another half with kids and the elderly 75 million. Another half with women who don't have the money 35 million. Other portions go to women who's bodies can't take a surgery, fear of a survey, women who are happy with their natural breasts... A third of a million really is a lot when you look at statistics!
September 19, 2013
Okaaay...thanks for breaking that down so very scientifically, but I still don't see what you're getting at, that it's popular?!? 22 million people use drugs, does
that make it a good idea? Yes, sadly, poor self image is a huge problem, but surgery is not the answer. Self love
and acceptance is. I get that you really want her to have a BA, the rest of us just want her to have all the info she requested, to make an informed decision she won't regret. She's a big girl, she can make her own decision.
September 19, 2013
Ummm, your buddy was saying the women advising her not to go forward with it shouldn't comment, not the other way around. However, my viewpoint is that if I were Missy, I'd take your advice with a grain of salt, as you haven't even had the procedure!
September 20, 2013
Wow. You should stop commenting. I haven't had it but I know that I am positive about it. You are one out of thousands that are on here being so negative. Lay back buddy!!!
September 20, 2013
@michellehk6 so we have a hater on here ! Why can't plp just be able to enjoy this website and give their own opinion without plp being negative about it!!!
September 20, 2013
You clearly misunderstood us!!! We are not pushing anything on her just giving her encouragement like she wants. And just because you had BAD experience also doesn't mean you should Discourage her
September 20, 2013
Thank you everyone! Honestly feels great to have people's opinions and stories. So happy to have found this website!
September 20, 2013
lol, well, that's the first time I've been called a hater! Too funny, are we in highschool or what...I have not said one thing negative here, please show me what I said that
was negative!?! A couple other women suggested she
not go through with a BA, due to their experiences and them Michelleh6 said they shouldn't be giving advice, which is lunacy! I didn't say do it or don't do it, but those women who spoke up should be heard.
September 20, 2013
Do you hear yourself? Total double standard, good grief lady...of course everyone who comments is coming from their unique street corner, some will have had bad experiences, some good, but it's going to shape their advice.
September 20, 2013
Just the comment you made about taking my advise as a grain of salt. Didn't sound too nice. And you are a "hater" of plastic surgery. And no it's not high school but from what I recall you began with the negative "being wise" comments. Let's leave it that.
September 20, 2013
And it was directed to me , I didnt say about not giving advice. But apparently I turned out to be the bad guy!
September 20, 2013
It wasn't meant to be offensive, just seems like common sense- I would be more apt to consider someons advice if they had "been there, done that." That's all. She should take my advice with a grain of salt as well. Now, if someone who has wide placed nipples and gets a BA, she may want to pay extra attention to that, it would be of great help to her.
September 20, 2013
I know. She commented on my profile saying I shouldn't get a ba and go natural because my results won't fix my problem and that men prefer natural boobs.. Not like I'm doing it for a guy anyway! It's annoying. This is supposed to be a support forum. We can read people's explains stories. This isn't that kind of review. It's a support for women who choose getting bas
September 20, 2013
Explant*
If I wanted to see negative stories, I would look in that section!
September 19, 2013
I hear ya, Missyrose. That feeling of self-consciousness never left me in the 4 yrs I have had implants. I think maybe our "minds eye" knows what we look like naturally, so some of us don't quite look or feel right augmenting that.
September 20, 2013
And if you read her review it clearly says she wants help and encouragement!!! So that's exactly what we were putting out there!!
September 20, 2013
Ok, yay!!!! Get BOOBIES!!! OMG BIG BOOOBIES are the greatest!!!
Please, I did read her review, which is why I commented
, she has lots of doubts and concerns...it isn't just her breast size that she's unhappy about. I would never say "Go for it!", knowing she will be unhappy with the results if they look like her current breasts, only bigger. Any decent PS will say that will be the outcome. I don't care if she goes ahead with, but I hope she is prepared for a realistic result.
September 19, 2013
I had similar concerns to you before hand but I'm so glad I did this for myself. I still haven't finished healing but I already love my boobs 100 times more than I did before the implants. Just take your time, do the research and ask your surgeon a million questions. If you're still not sure there's no harm in waiting. Good luck :)
September 20, 2013
There are better things to hate out there. I assume anyones opinion here will be taken with a grain of salt, we're not experts, but do have experiences to share, what people take from that is up to them. Not trying to be mean. I'm all for support but also for answering questions I can speak to. It is annoying when you're just being honest and trying to help and someone says that's wrong to do. We all have a voice here. True, you don't often hear from the BAs gone wrong...they usually put their reviews in the Explant forum.
