  • Bigger or smaller? Generally unnecessary as it makes them look unnatural which I don't like.
  • I completely hate them. They're unattractive and unnatural.
  • The main question is how would you feel having one? Would it improve your self-confidence, personal development, better jobs etc. ?
  • They can look completely natural, I assure you. If it will make you feel better, and you have put a lot of thought into it, why not? Anyone who would NOT be with you because you had a boob job is someone you probably wouldn't want in your life. Just like anyone who would not want to be with you because of your breast size is not someone to keep around. Look into Saline instead of silicone (much more bouncy IMHO). Also, understand that they don't last forever. You'll have to do the same surgery every 10 years or so because they've found out that the implants wear out over time.
  • I only approve of them on a limited basis. I approve of them obviously for cases of mastectomy or breast reduction for heath reasons. I could understand the frustration that an Olive Oyle type of chest is not desired. I think moderation is the key here. You can't go from a size A to a DD. It would just look silly.
  • Whatever makes you feel comfortable. I personally believe they can look great. Real boobs are often too saggy for my tastes.
  • i dont think there is anything wrong with having a boob job, as long as the size of you boob fits your body perfectly.
  • I personally do not like them at all. The beauty in life is that which is natural.
  • If it is a sensible job and it is going to make you happy and feel more confident in yourself ok. but not just to have enormous boobs they look ridiculous.
  • it all depends on your body type, the surgeon, and type of implant. some implants look and feel very natural as well. others look plain fake. so do your research. it is a personal choice as all cosmetic surgery is.
  • Unless you have no breasts at all, there is no need for it. Despite all the hollywood hype, appearance and big breasts really don't matter one bit. If you do it for your own self esteem, then I guess it can be ok. Just make sure you do it to feel better about yourself. Don't do it to make guys notice you and make you feel better for getting the attention.
  • As long as you are happy and you're doing it for yourself and not for someone else, go buck wild.
  • I think if it makes you feel better about yourself you should go for it,as for me the ones I have felt still felt good and they still taste good and they still look good so I have no problem with it. I do wonder how they will look when your 94 but time will tell.
  • Not as good as the real thing.
  • If your augmentation makes you look like you are trying to hide two basket balls, then you have gone too far. The best augmentation is the one that everyone wonders what is different with you, but can't quite put their finger on it.
  • I like big boobs, but prefer small and natural over large and fake.
  • As long as they are natural looking and not like two balloons stuck on your chest they are fine . If they make you feel happier and more confident with yourself.
  • I think guys think they know but they don't.
  • I am not a fan of boob jobs to make your boobs bigger. If you have really large breasts that cause you back problems then getting them reduced is a good idea, but getting enlargements is just wrong to me. There is absolutely nothing wrong with small breasts. They are perfect. It saddens me that a woman would feel bad enough about her breast size to undergo surgery to enlarge them. Please reconsider having it done.
  • I wish I could give you some of mine. I've got enough for donations and still have plenty for a good pair:-) I hope you don't go too large as the back pain over the years is a bear. And don't get it done too early because one thing they usually don't talk about is that they don't last very long for some people and you may need it again.
  • the only time i would consider a "boob job" is if one of my breasts was significantly larger than the other. i would have the huge breast reduced to the same size as the smaller one.
  • I think boob jobs look freaky. If i had a girlfriend and found out she had a boob job, then she can go away.
  • It is ok to get one just make sure they are propotioned to your body so you don't look silly. Get at least 3 consultations and consider doing silicone vs saline, they are a better product, in my opinion.
  • I think a vast majority of them are unnecessary. To me huge over-sized boobs are unattractive. They also tell me that the woman who wears them probably got them to fix a self-esteem problem.
  • i think they are a waste of time and money. and inconvenience. especially when one ends up bigger than the other. if you want smaller, it might be a good thing. i have seen some huge mams out there. i often wonder why the owners dont get them downsized
  • I want to get breast implants too, but when I hear rumors about cancer, saggy breast after the implants have been taken and wrinkly skin I back up.
  • One of modern man's greater inventions yo...;)
  • Please don't pay money to mutilate your body like that. Natural bobs are better than fake ones, even if they aren't big! :)
  • I like big natural, and I also like small natural, I don't care for fake ones, but do what ever you want.
  • i think that people who get boob jobs are insecure about themselves and this is the only way they feel confident and good about themselves, which really is all fake in itself. it's important to love your body for what it is....i love my breasts, legs, girl parts, my face, basically everything and I would NEVER change them.
  • I would think it is more about what you think opposed to what others think.
  • think they are overrated and cliche. Firstly women always claim they want to be treated as equals to men and hate being treated like meat then go and accentuate their bosoms...then get angry when men stare at said accentuated bosoms...especially when women love to wear clothing that accentuate, said accentuated bosoms. secondly, they do have to be replaced every 10 or so years, there's possible side effects and hazrds, they don't feel natural, they don't fool anyone, and sometimes you can lose sensitivity in your nipple area or entire breast for the most part. If they are big and natural I guess be proud of them, I myself look for other features in women than big breasts, but if everyone knows they are fake it kind of defeats the purpose of getting them in the first place. Sure women say it gives them confidence and they look better in their clothes and it gets them more attention from men..but the men you attract are the same men I mentioned in the first part of this answer...wouldn't you prefer men that like you for you? Or you might already be married and they are a treat for the hubby..but I never got that whole thing myself...again he knows they are fake, what good are they? MY opinion; inflate your personality, not your chest!
  • I don't like them, natural is the way to go. I'm not really a fan of big breasts either.
  • I love large breasts, personally. I dated a woman who had one done a few years back, and I loved them... ;-)
  • A waste of time and money. The end result isn't real anyway and it amounts to an admission of not feeling feminine enough naturally.
  • I think unless you are truly uncomfortable with your natural self, AND don't have anything better to use your money for ... do it. But, keep in mind that any surgery is risky ... things can go wrong.
  • I think they look terrible and I'm a boob man
  • It is great if you are not satisfied with yourself and HERE IS A PLACE WHERE I FOUND TO GET IT DONE FOR MUCH LESS... http://www.breastaugmentationfaqs.wordpress.com
  • I think you should examine why you want it. then address those issues. changing your body address insecurities only reinforces those insecurities.
  • I had a reduction done two years ago, and what a relief. Having larger boobs does have it's problems. You rub up against things easier (people - by accident), your shirts need to be bigger to go around your chest but then the sleeves are longer, the bigger they are the harder they fall, bigger boobs don't bring positive male attention (I know that one too well), bras don't fit as well, and now the increased weight pulls on the straps onto your shoulders. Yes, they look good in a bathing suit or tank top, but who are the boobs looking good for? Men? I've learned one thing, and that if something is of a benefit to men, then don't do it.
  • It is not risk free. I wouldn't advice anyone for it. Women who do it have low self esteem and I'm not one of them. Besides Cherry Potter is flat chested, can you make half as much as she has made doing what she does?
  • my mother had one done right after i did my senior paper about breast augmentations. there are ALOT of risks. make sure you do ALL of your research. get stories from people who have had the same kind of procedures both good and bad. if they are bad find out what went wrong, why it happened, and how it has affected that person. i am personally thinking of having one done in a couple of years (when i get my finances lined up) and i know everything there is to know. if you want one, and its to make you feel better about yourself and not just because you think men want a girl with big boobs (which believe me isnt always true) then i would say do it. be reasonable tho. dont get double d's because eventually they will just hurt your back.
  • It's almost never a good idea, except in the case of reconstructive surgery after a mastectomy. Who is it for? Men tend to prefer natural breasts, whether big or small.
  • If its just because you want bigger boobs, don't do it.
  • In the words of Tony the Tiger, ''Theeeyy're GRRRRREATT!!!'' yo...;)
  • I think they are great looking if you don't get crazy. I have seen tiny, tiny womeny get huge boobs that make them look way out of proprtion.
  • Not the best idea IMO. You will mostly end up have to replace them a few time....you will bring them to your grave.
  • I'm not a big fan, but to each their own right? I think if you do get one, get them so they look appropriate to your body type... when they are too big they aren't even attractive... only porn stars should have fake boobs like that. I think also if they are too big they make the person look cheap.
  • I got one after both my kids were born. I love them. So does my boyfriend. BUT - they are well done, proportional, and not blatantly stripper like.
  • You should do what makes you happy. If having perfectly shaped breasts is important to you, go for it. I personally won't have any type of surgery not medically necessary. But from a visual perspective, you won't be losing anything, that's for sure!
  • I think the women that go way over-board look like freaks! They are not supposed to be up near your chin! In general, it is a turn-off, although I still might date someone who had them. First, I would ask yourself why you are doing it. Many times it is self-esteem related. It is absolutely ridiculous if you have C's or bigger! Not much sense if you have B's either. One of the risks that many women don't understand is the possibility of greatly decreased nippular sensitivity! That in itself is a major consideration, I would think! They don't last forever, and you may be assured that even if you don't have problems, they will have to go in again. I'm sure you have heard, and many are telling you of the possible health consequences. Make sure you are doing it for the right reasons, and dont' go overboard! Only then seriously think about it.
  • Hmm...I'm not a big fan of plastic surgeries personally, but if that's what you want go for it. It's just I can't tell you if I really think you "need" one or not. Ya know?
  • I have two friends, both female sailors, that represent the two extremes of "boob jobs." One was sexual harassed as a young girl because she was "stacked" as a 12 year old. By the time she was twenty, she was experiencing back problems from the weight of her chest. She had breast reduction surgery and her self-esteem rose almost immediately. She has continued to suffer from back problem all related to her time with bigger breasts, but she is a lot happier. The other was flat-chested. When she got promoted to a higher pay grade, she decided to reward herself with boobs. She took leave and got the surgery. She went from not needing a bra to a "B" cup. When she got back from recuperation she was going around the ship getting all her friends to cop a feel. "Don't they feel real?" she would ask. She loved them and they helped her self-image. In both these cases it was a good decision because of medical and/or psychological reasons. If yours is a similar situation... go for it. However, if it's just a case of "my boyfriend/husband wouldn't look at other women if my boobs were bigger", then I'd get a new boyfriend/husband rather than new breasts. Hope this helps.
  • I prefer natural breasts on the small side.
  • In my opinion, small is beautiful.
  • don't do it unless you have had a health issue, and want them for THAT reason. if its just because you want bigger boobs, when they are already there, DON'T.
  • Your choice, your body. If you have to ask people on AB I would rethink getting them. If you wanted them bad enough you would get them without thinking twice about the consequences (good and bad). You obviously have some doubts, so the the best thing I would recommend is to talk to you family, close friends, significant other (assuming you care what they think) and see what they think because they are the only one's whose opinions really matter. Second, talk to your doctor. With any cosmetic surgery comes risk. Are you wanting this surgery because of low self esteem, health problems, or just to live life? The first one can not be solved through surgery, and the second and third one are good enough reasons for me. Just keep in mind, it is not something you can take back. Within about 15-20 years, you will have to have another surgery to either replace them or fix them. And you'll have to be more careful with exercising and contact sports. Your life will be changed overall, not just the way you look. Hope this helps.
  • I had one and "thought" it was the best thing I ever did. Your clothes fit better, you feel more confident but buyer beware, 1 ruptured after only 8 years and now I can not afford the fix.
  • ME TOO! I think when i've had my children and my boobs are getting a bit droopy then i'll think about it properly. But within reason i dont think there is anything wrong with it. If it makes you feel better about yourself then why not?! Go for it girl!!
  • I think that they are great as long as u have it done for the right reasons. U shouldn't do it for anybody except for yourself. If it will make you feel better then go for it, I did, and haven't regretted it for one minute, wish that I had it done ten years ago.
  • if it is because of self-esteem issues from being very small, then that is okay, but as far as being attractive to the opposite sex, I think they look terrible usually.
  • Unless it is a breast reduction type surgery, I am totally against them. Go with what grew there organically.
  • I'm not completely against them, if you've got serious issues and you're doing it for yourself, go for it. But I also think you should always try to be happy with what you've got. But I don't know what it feels like to be really small, what do I know.
  • I think its a terrible risk to take with your health for the sake of a man or for the sake of trying to feel better about yourself. You are putting a foreign object in there. Did anyone tell you they have to be changed every ten years or so? No one told my mother when she had reconstruction after a mastectomy. No one told her until 20 years later when she started having terrible pain in there. When the surgeon took it out, he asked her, "Didn't anyone tell you to change these every ten years?" No one had, the scar tissue had grown into the bag, the bag was ruptured and it took three hours to get the thing out because it was so intertwined with everything. Think about whether you want to have surgery repeatedly to maintain that "look."
  • Before you go ahead with the procedure, check out this free online tool to "boobify me"... basically upload your pic, and drag and drop your boob job. You can save it, email it friends, etc! http://www.boobify.me
  • Love them! They make a woman look more curvy, obviously. Makes their waist look slimmer. Eye catching. I'm sure most guys are for them. Only thing I think you should make sure you don't scar badly, though I have heard how they do implants from the belly button.
  • Be happy with your body.
  • Three things - (1)It cost money that can be devoted to better things; (2)I hate the thought of someone taking a knife and carving up my body; (3)Small breasts are attractive also. I can't honestly say that I like large breasts more than smaller breasts in a lady. There are so many other things to consider besides just size and shape. It takes more than just boobs to make a gal sexy.
  • if it is because you do not think your boobs are the right size/shape for your frame good for you... if you want huge breast so people will look at you... grow up.
  • Fake boobs are ugly.
  • Don't like them. I hate obviously fake tits. I prefer the real thing. If you DO get them, make sure it's what YOU want, and that you aren't just doing for someone else. Also, make sure that you REALLY want them.
  • LOL @ those Naked Barbie Doll wannabe's. Does plastic EVER look good?
  • Not only will you not get the attention you get now, you will get less. Once a guy discovers (like the first time he leans against your chest kissing you) that your tits are fake, that may very well be the last time you see him. Would be with me. Ya know, once you let the doc slice and stuff them, you don't have breasts anymore. You have fake, tumor looking appendages on your chest that take the place of breasts.
  • Don't mess with them. If you have great legs, then display THOSE instead (alot cheaper, too.)
