After almost 1 year ago of having my implants removed, I am finally done and at peace with myself and how I look. Having them removed was a very emotional thing for me and being on this site helped me alot with much support from most of the community. Backtonormality was my realself buddy and could relate to me the most. I was brow beat by a few people, one who is still posting so I logged off for a few months. Nobody can tell you what it right and what is wrong with wanting to have breast implants, it is a personal decision. My whole ordeal was caused by my vanity and wanting the " perfect" breast. Well, that caused me to have quite a bit of paint, not to mention yet 2 more surgeries. I never will complain again if I have scars or if one breast is bigger than the other one, such as the case with me now. I look good in clothes, I look good in a bikini and I feel good about myself again, and that took a long time for me to feel this way. Remember, there are no perfect breasts, only on TV and then they have the luxury of photo shopping and touch up. I am not ashamed to admit that I am 61 years old, yes, and I feel like I look 50. I love myself again and will never ever go thru another breast surgery again.....!!! For all of you going thru something like this, good luck and remember, nobody can tell you what is right or wrong in your decision to have nice breasts. Peace!

Hi from the USA!!! Wow, I am so happy to hear from you!!! I am damn good and you??? I read just a very little bit of our journey and had to stop. It was a really hard and sad time for me. Some of the posts were mean as well and I hate to re visit that! You were my best "buddy" on this post and your posts meant alot to me. After my last surgery, I still had the scar on the left breast that I had so much trouble with and believe it or not, I almost went to see another surgeon till I thought about the price etc and the thought of " what if this doesn't work" and decided, hell with it, I don't care about the stupid scar I have nice looking boobies so leave it alone! Wow, we have been thru alot for sure. Please, keep me posted, you know I don't judge, I really missed my boobies too. I hope you go for it!!! :-)

I am 36D and the're sizing is almost exactly the same as VS, what is nice about them is, they mail your bra/panty ( because they come in sets) and the mail a pre paid postage sticker with it so it is hassle free to return them

Hello cards2009, you look fabulous and I can tell from your pictures and comments that you are super happy. I'm made up for you honey. It's been a very long and arduous journey for you but definitely worthwhile. Very sexy bras I see again. I hope you are good and I know you made the right decision to re implant. All good here in the U.K. with my little pancakes with a raisin on it! However, I think my hubbie wants them back. We will see. I'm ok at the moment but probably will have a face lift and boob job in the next few years. So happy to see your updates. Big hugs xxxxxxx

Hi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love hearing from and and am happy we can still be Realself buddies!! I am doing well, I fell better than I have for a year. I am done with any visits to the PS and that chapter of my life is closed. I still have a scar that is visible on the left breast but there is nothing I can do about it without going yet again to have him set the implant in the right pocket and I refuse to be so vain to want to fix it so with time ti will fade. I love good in my bras, bikinis and clothes and my hubby loves me boobies too, but he loves that I am happy again. I will post new pictures in a day or so. You know my journey was so hard on me emotionally, it was a bad year, in fact I had 5 surgical procedures in 8 months, no wonder I was a wreck and lost weight right? I feel good again and what ever you decide to do, do it for yourself. I could not imagine nor did I want to imagine my body without breasts. I've had them for 18 years now, they are a part of me. I'll post photos soon and still love to hear from you!!! Big hugs back xoxoxox
