writes:My question is about breast implants and confidence. I have very small breasts which appear very far from one another and no matter what I do they will not grow. Even on birth control they haven't changed in size or fullness and it really affects my confidence having to wear juniors dress shirts and still not fill out the cups of an outfit that most teens can wear without any problems. To those of you with implants, did it improve your confidence? Are you happy with the look and feel? Does it feel like. There's a foreign object in your body? Any complications so far? Saline or silicone? Thank you =)

 If I were you I would not get implants. Yes, they will increase the size of your breats but there are too many downsides to getting them.
1) They are a lot of money. If you want them to look good you have to go to a good surgeon. Surgeons who charge less tend to be less experienced and therefore you will be at greater risk of messing your body up. Before you get them, do lots of research and don't be afraid of the higher end prices. Most likely, if you want them to look and feel real, you will have to pay more money.
2)Appearance. On some people, depending on the size of the implants, no matter how well the surgeon performed the surgery, they still look fake. When I am at the beach, I can tell the difference between fake breasts and real ones. Fake ones are perfect and no woman has perfect breasts. Some fake ones look too large on her body for her size. Some are too rounded and appear to be pushed up too high. But, its up to you. And it depends on your body type and how well the surgeon performs the surgery.
3) Lots of men don't like fake, and yes when a man feels your breasts he may notice they are not real. Real breats tend to be softer and easier to play with. Fake on the other hand may be hard and stiff. He may be dissappointed that yours are not real. Thats something to think about.
4) Like all surgeries it can be risky. The healing afterwards can be difficult and leave scarring and keloid tissue. Plus, you have to have them redone every decade. (on average). You also risk the possibility of one breaking inside you which has the potential to cause infection.
Those are my 4 main reasons I never got them. My breasts are just like yours. I barely fit into an A cup, I can't have cleavage no matter how hard I try and I have accepted it. My body is real and its what God gave me. It hasn't affected my dating abilities at all as I get many guys asking me out. I am happy with them and I think you should be happy with yours too. Stay natural girl and like me, be proud of your size. They will stay perky forever and you won't have to worry about sagging!!!!

 Tell ya what, a close relative of mine had to have a double mastectomy due to breast cancer. She was an A cup. She decided to reconstruct and wound up as a D cup. While she is somewhat satisfied with the silhouette, she HATES not having real breast tissue there. She would trade those D implants for her old A's in one nanosecond. Her husband loves her either way, and obviously he married her when she was an A cup. She looked elegant and slim and could pretty much wear whatever she wanted without a bra.
There are some real issues with implants as far as getting good readings in mammograms, make 100% sure you understand ALL those risks. You could wind up with goodlooking fake boobs, but a missed cancer diagnosis means you don't have much time to enjoy them.
So, nag time over. She doesn't like the saline because it doesn't compress when you lie on them, like real breast tissue does. These are temporary expanders in there, mind you, so that may be partly the issue, but her surgeon says it's the saline that doesn't change in volume. It's not spongy, if you can understand my description there.
I'll tell you that my A cup relative carried herself as though she was perfectly built--and that's how she was perceived. That's something for you to work on while you explore your surgical options. I've found yoga very helpful to being in touch with my body and appreciating it in all its human imperfection. Find a good yoga studio with qualified teachers--sometimes a gym isn't the best place to look.
Hope this helps a bit!

 From two friends who've had them, yes they feel like foreign objects that seem detached from the rest of you. Oddly enough, you cannot feel a thing when a man caresses the nipples -- completely dead. Their boyfriends also complain that they feel rubbery and weird. Sure they look great, come wet t-shirt night, but aside from that I think most "normal" women (meaning not in the porn industry) would say they weren't worth it in the long run. Couple that with the possibility they can leak toxins into your body and wreck havoc with your health, I'd buy a beautiful, sexy little push-up bra and forget the implants.

reader, anonymous, writes (17 August 2009): Sorry I'm not really answering your question, but I have talked to a LOT of guys about this (I have small breasts too) and none of them have ever liked implants. They might be attracted initially to women with big breasts (especially if they're shallow guys) but in a partner fake boobs are not something they'll look for. A lot of guys don't like the way they feel, even if they look good. I'm 24 and my confidence in my body has come a long way in the past couple of years. Also in this time, I've had partners who care about other things than big boobs. Just dress in clothes that flatter your body. As you get a little older, the men you date will be more mature and care about more important things.
