I cannot wear many things because I look like a MILF.

I got breast implants after I had my children a few years ago. I had been naturally large all my life - a full C at 15 and then several years of pregnancy and breastfeeding. I was shocked when, after I quit nursing and the milk went away, my breasts were stretched and saggy! So I got a boob job. I totally regret it. If I had just waited a few months, the skin would have shrunk back up. When I look at my before pics, I realize they looked really good - I was just not used to the new look. I am only a full C, but people notice my boobs wherever I go. I cannot wear many things because I look like a MILF. Maybe you think that's good, but it's embarrassing, especially when other moms don't want to be your friend and guys at Home Depot look at you like they want to scr*w you, even if I'm just wearing a t-shirt and jeans. I have to wear a huge ugly t-shirt to look normal. I would love to be able to wear little t-shirts and not look like a ho. Also, they feel really weird and foreign. Fake boobs will NEVER feel like the real thing. It is very creepy. I want them out, but am afraid my real boobs have been stretched out too much and they will be saggy bags :o( Natural breasts are beautiful - don't ruin yours and get fake ones!

Eleven yrs ago I didn't regret my increase from a 34A to 32 DD until my left implant (silicone) ruptured 3 months ago. It spiralled a nightmare of MRIs, consults with surgeons and the big decision about whether to replace or remove. On the assumption that the silicone had not spread beyond the scar capsule, I underwent a removal & replacement on April 7. The visual result was very good but this was tempered by the surgeon's discovery during surgery, that my left breast was a silicone "soup" having spread as far as the arm pit. He id a good job and 99% was removed so philosophical as I am, I went about recovery. Despite being vigilent during my first 2 weeks, at the beginning of the third, I started a rollercoaster of high fevers, swelling, antibiotic IVs and swabs that would eventually required the removal of the infected left implant. At the point the labs showed staph aureus, I had made by decision that if the implant had to be removed, I would have both removed and call it a day. I am 1 week post removal and I am very, very comfortable with my decision. I would like anyone considering having breast implants to consider what I believe the source of my later problem was.
The Source: In 1999, my excellent surgeon in Australia cautioned me about complications with such a size increase (450 CC to bring me frm a 34A to 32/34 D/DD. I went against his advice. I developed mild capsular contracture and occasional irritation which I think ultimately stressed the life of the implant. Ifr you are my size I would strongly recommend sticking to around 300CC and shoot for a C cup. I truly believe that your chances of problems will be lower. As for my recent infection, I was unlucky (I am healthy, super fit, hygenic, etc). But please remember that there is still a risk and if you should get an infection, there is a high chance that the implant or implants may have to be removed and you will have to wait 6 months until you are "settled" and ready for replacement. Also consider the costs. Lucky for me (though living in the US now) I had health insurance that covered all of the complications. Not all companies do and you will most likely require revision at least within 10 years or maybe sooner. Good luck with your choice. Make it carefully. I didn't listen up enough when I was hel bent on getting "those" back then. Cheers. Zena
