Ok, now my thoughts.
My breasts have always been on the small side - a B cup on a good day. I've never been thrilled about the overall shape, and one was slightly larger than the other (although I've heard that's normal, and really, one side of your body is naturally larger than the other - perfect symmetry doesn't exist). But I was ok, and I planned on living with them.
Fast forward to now. I've lost almost 80lbs, and I have between 10 and 20 more to go. My breasts have shrunk (it was to be expected), and now they are quite sad and tired looking. The skin is still there, but the fat has disappeared, giving them the look (in my opinion) of tired cow's teats. I have received the opinions of the three people closest to me, and they all confirm that yes, my breasts have shrunk, and yes, the size difference is really noticeable now. Maybe I'm an A cup at this point.
My breasts may shrink more, as I lose more weight, or they may be done shrinking. I'm not sure if the skin will shrink to compensate - it probably will somewhat (I hope).
Last week, I encountered my first set of implants. My God, they were magnificent. Utterly stunning to look at - quite possibly the most gorgeous breasts I have ever seen. (Now, being that they were my first set, I couldn't tell by looking at them that they weren't real). And then I felt them. They were firm - not hard, but definitely firm. And I knew instantly that they were fake. And my first reaction was "I'm afraid to touch these things because I don't want to hurt them. What if I squeeze and they burst?!" And yes, I noticed that they never moved - not a bounce, wiggle or jiggle.
The owner of said breasts loves them, and said it was the best thing she ever did for herself. She said that they cost a fortune, and that there is only a tiny scar (I never looked for myself).
So it gets me thinking. How bad can this be? I'm not concerned about the money - money is just money. What I'm pondering is the scarring, the long-term affects, the pain of the operation, and the recovery time. I know that it's different for everyone, but I've seen a variety of scar pictures, and I've heard horror stories about girls in bed for weeks not being able to lift their arms and having no appetite due to heavy painkillers. And I'm a big pussy when it comes to pain (one of the reasons why I have no tattoos or piercings - I can't justify paying for pain).
Wow, ok, so now you all know a lot about me and my boobs. This should be interesting. Fire up the comment boxes!
