WORTH IT$7,935

Hey everyone... So I'm 25 years old 5'2'' and 120lbs with the bra size of a big A small B.. I've considered breast implants since I was 18 years old but every time I get close to seriously getting them I chicken out and decide not to.. My first experience with this was when I was 19 years old my mother offered to pay for half of the cost!!! Other than that she had no other influence in my decision... So I starting doing intense research just to decide it was too risky and maybe it wasn't worth it.

So fast forward a couple years to now, now I'm 25 I have my own money saved up and I decided to consider boobs again more than ever... So I booked a consultation with Dr. Richard Baxter in Seattle on the 22nd of January.. I've been obsessing over it lately pinning boobs on Pinterest, googling information and reading RealSelf stories and reviews...

However the more and more I read the more and more I become skeptical... I don't want to make the wrong decision!!!!!!!! So here's a breakdown of my thought process:

What i LIKE about my boobs now-- Currently I actually like my natural boobs, they look like mini implants.. They're nice and perky and round, actually really appealing naked. My nipple placement is fine, shape is symmetrical..

What i DONT like about my natural boobs-- they don't fill out bathing suit bikini tops and when I wear padded ones if I lift my arms my nipples show, I'm tired of "jimi-rigging" my boobs when I wear revealing dresses/shirts and by jimi-rig I mean wearing sticky gel bras with a push up bra on top maybe using safety pins on clothes so my nipples won't show if I move wrong... I'm tired of my size A bra fitting until I lay down, then it's completely empty and my bra is just sitting there like a hollow mountain on my chest..

Why I'm considering breast implants-- other than the obvious dislikes of my natural boobs above... I want breast implants to feel more womanly, to look better in a bikini, to be able to wear backless dresses/shirts without a bra, to feel fuller up top, to balance out my butt, to make my waist look smaller and if I think of any more i will let you know!!

Worries about getting breast implants-- I'm not completely unfortunate, like I said I do like my breast now, I'm not even terribly insecure about them like most girls on this site. I'm scared if I get them they will turn out deformed or become deformed overtime and I will complete regret my decision and wish I kept what God had blessed me with. I'm scared of the obvious dangers. I don't want to have to get them replaced because I don't know where I will be financially in the next 5 years. I'm worried about loosing my nipple sensation since that's where I get a lot of my sexual pleasure from.. I'm scared they won't turn out how I want them and I'll be stuck with something I really don't like such as high boobs. Worried about sagging after childbirth considering I have no kids now. There's more but I can't think of anymore right now...

Someone please help me, I need someone that felt a similar way about their natural boobs before surgery to tell me how they feel about it years after surgery.. Was it worth it?? Did you have to go back for multiple reconstruction surgeries? Do you ever wish you just kept your natural nice little ones instead if worrying about the upkeep of implants???

In a perfect world I would want to get them done and they turn out just like my natural ones but bigger and never get deformities... If I have to replace them only because they're old not for another reason, I wouldn't mind that.

Hi, I've came across your post as someone from this section of the site wrote on the explant site! I think it may be worth you having a look at ladies who have had implants and decided for whatever reason to explant. It may give you some answers to your questions. Mine isn't a great example as I really did not have any boobs prior or after! I don't want to influence you either way-it's your decision and yours only, but it's good to he informed. I'm not anti implants at all and they can be great additions! I do however, feel that you have such good boobs that you are happy with (apart from size) I'd seriously think about it. All the best, hope I've helped and not confused you more!

I wouldn't, your breasts are beautiful!!! I'm getting implants because my breasts are totally deflated/flat/saggy after breastfeeding 2 babies (im 34). My motto, if it ain't broke don't fix it! Good luck with your decision :)

Hard decision, maybe wait? I agree with Bombshell Under Construction. I am 32 and have breastfed 2 bubs and now I have absolutely nothing. I am really looking forward to getting mine done now, but I was always happy beforehand even though I wasn't busty. I think you look great the way you are, but of course please yourself, your opinion is the only one that matters!

If I were you, I would wait till after you have kids to go through with the surgery. I just had BA 4 weeks ago, but I only did it before I nursed 2 kids and lost everything. My size was very similar to yours before I had kids (maybe a little larger), but I was very happy with the size and overall look of it. Pregnancy will also change your breasts as well. I have a couple of friends whose breasts were bigger and fuller after pregnancy and nursing. Hope this helps, but I think you look great as you are now. :)

Your natural breasts are very nice! I think that since you are so on the fence about it- it's a sign that you shouldn't have it done right now. I think you MIGHT regret it if you do like them right now. While you might have some issues about clothes fitting- you like how they look most of the time. right? Maybe you can do what the movie stars do and use double sided tape to keep your nipples inside your clothes. (Ask the PS if that issue will be resolved once you get implants). Like what most of the other women say- once you have children, you'll lose the volume in them. Perhaps you should wait until then to have it done? You could always save the money in an account that builds interest and then when you are set on having it done you'll still have the funds (or at least a good amount of funds) to pay for it. But you are right to go for a consult. See what a professional says and hopefully he'll tell you straight up what you are looking at and not pressure you either way. Good luck with your decision!!! Keep us posted!

So today I had my consultation!! They we're really patient and helpful in answering all my questions, they made it seem so easy and not harmful.. which kind of concerned me, considering I dont want the truth to be sugar coated. I picked out my boobs, even though they dont feel like big supposedly I'd be a DD... 325cc silicone high profile. I don't really want high profile but they said my chest isnt wide enough to hold the moderate in the size i chose.

So they quoted me $7,935!!!!!!!!!!!! Which is WAY more than I expected... the most I really wanted to spend was 6,000. I guess I am still on the fence about this and I have two days to decide for sure if I want to do this or not...

Going to the consultation made me want them a little more, until I saw the price.. then it went back to being 50/50

Conclusion: [RS bleep] IT! I'm getting boobs!!!!!!!!!!!!

I would not get them if I were you , you have perfect perky breast don't ruin a good thing. That is my 2 cents of course :P

I had serious issues with my breasts. Most women are not perfect, and you don't have to be. I believe you are most likely sold to a beauty pattern imposed to you than unhappy with your breasts. If they don't look that bad to you, I would recommend you not to do... most plastic surgery requires follow up years later. I did breast lift along with implants and even though I was pretty sure I wanted, I still had some doubt. Think more and make a good decision :)

I'd 2nd that. Leave well alone! you have great boobs and you are paying money for never ending surgery. They need replacing and they are foreign objects in your body - they may not but things can go wrong. You will need further surgery. If I knew what I know now 10 years down the road id have spent my money on a nice holiday or treated myself rather than try and get bigger breasts!! I'm flat as a pancake and I've had implants - I wouldn't go back to them. You look great so think hard and long! Good luck.

i actually liked your boobs with implants, kind of comforts me knowing they will last that long.. even though discomfort bothered you. so did you get your implants before or after having a child/breast feeding??
plasticnation

I had them pre child and did not plan on having children until later, but I fell pregnant 2 years after! It was difficult to breast feed as the milk would not come in properly. I regret that. Don't get me wrong I loved having shape but they never felt part of me and towards the end became very uncomfortable. My left implant was stuck to my breast tissue and that's why I had pain. yuk. I think I was lucky to have had no issues until the end but I truly believe that was due to mine being saline. I was so flat before and really wanted some shape, I'm as flat I as was before but my time with implants is over. I wish I knew then what I know now - I never would have had them. They will need replacing eventually if you're lucky enough not to have any issues. To be honest if you were really unhappy I'd say do what feels right for you. But seeing you so on the 'fence' I'd leave well alone. You have fantastic boobs and yes implants will make them bigger but so would a push up bra! Bigger is not necessarily better. I'd take what you have naturally over silicone anyday. Good luck!! Lecture over :-) x

So today is my final consultation where I SEAL THE DEAL! ...I'm so nervous and hope I'm making the right decision, I am going to pray long and hard and hope this is for me. I still have a big shred of doubt... ugh, I'm really scared!!!!!! I think if I get them I will love them, but I guess my concern is that I'm being selfish, spending all the money on something i might not NEED.. and it's not like it's going to change my life significantly but who wouldn't want nice big boobs.. right???????
