Would you ever get breast implants?
Edited on Wed Aug-24-05 04:47 PM by Mrs. Sniffa
After seeing the Hugh post it made me wonder? It might be cool to defy gravity, but I don't think I could do it. Not that I really need it.

2. Sure.
I hear trannies can totally rake in the big bucks at the Greyhound station.

Bolted-on, immobile melon halves aren't very sexy to me.

5. Could I get more than two? Like six, or eight? I could be a superhero.
I'd call myself, "The Possum."

6. no
Even if I were flat as a pancake. I've had so much surgery, I'd never 'elect' to go under general anesthesia and the knife for that kind of cometic alteration

7. If I had a mastectomy, I probably would have the reconstruction.
Ok, so I'm vain. Otherwise, NO.

9. If I had a mastectomy, I would too
either way it would be cool to not have to wear a bra when you wore a tank to.

47. I would have the recon on the cancer side and a reduction on
the non cancer side. NO WAY would I let them reconstruct MY boobs to their pre-surgery size.

Besides if I didn't do it that way I would walk slanted.

16. 32B says NEVER.
When I was younger, most of my friends had pretty good-sized breasts. I did not. Now that I am older, it's my turn to shine because while their breasts are "down to their knees," mine are well, almost "perky"....the irony

17. Only if it was a reconstructive issue
And probably not even then. I am not a fan of elective surgery - I can't see taking those risks (and all surgery is inherently risky) for vanity. Besides, I don't like the way fake boobs look - they LOOK fake. Mine aren't huge but they're perfect (if I do say so myself).

I'll take small and real over big and fake any day.

21. No--but a lift, maybe.
If I had nooo other bills, or things to pay for, and I had all the other stuff I wanted, I might give a thought to a breast lift. I don't need fake boobs, the ones I have are hard enough to put in a button down shirt thanks!

I tease my husband about buying me some though. He's very well trained and he tells me "they're perfect just way there are" Well, he doesn't say it quite like that, but I always get a compliment. :evilgrin:

26. You bet your ass.
'Cause for me; its a business investment and I can write them off on my taxes. I can make enough with them to justify maintaining them.
Yes; I have done my research and after a two year (with only two exceptions) hiatus from my job I still want them. Gonna do it.Flame away.

43. Just once.
You can only write it off the year you get it; but hey; that's between $3000-$8000 depending on surgeon/procedure. 'S what I'm talking about. Never said I was above making money on my body; to me it is part of my feminisim. Many do not agree; though....thanks for reading.

44. I pretty much agree - what you do with your body is your business
And if you can make $ off it, I don't see the problem. Especially since I know that most bodies that are able to have money made off of them are really, really, really hard work to gain/maintain. It's no coincidence that the fittest looking women are at the gym every day.

Actually, I thought a good implant job was more expensive than that. I wonder how you shop around for one. Lordy knows the last thing anyone would want would be a bad boob job! If there's anything that's worth spending more on, it'd be that - and open heart surgery.

31. NO WAY...unless it was needed for reconstructive purposes...
I've worked so hard to get the weight off, and I'm enjoying being smaller than I have been in years...

No way I'd ever want to go back to being big...the weight, the stress on your shoulders, trying to get tops that actually FIT...

NO WAY... :kick:

32. If I were a woman.... maybe...
I know my wife felt "deflated" after finishing the ol' breast feeding with our first child. And feeling deflated might kinda suck. Kid #2 is our last to be sure (barring some unforseen incident), so who knows...

If I was a woman it would kinda depend you know, on how things had worked out for me and what I wanted. At one point I woulda thought they were lame-o-delxu0rez, but now, f*ck it, it's my body, I'll do what I want.

That said, I'm not a woman.

33. Well, I'd get one. Or is that a "pec implant" on a guy?
Whatever you call it, I need one on the left side. There's very little pectoral muscle over there, and lots of it on the right side.

A real small breast implant would make the left side look like the right side.

37. Probably not...
I don't like the idea of something plastic in my body. Plus, I'm a 34c so don't think I need them. While I haven't had any complaints I'm sure many guys would want much bigger...and if there are, well...I don't really care ;)

39. Sure. It'd get a dozen.
When I'm old and gravity defies me, I wouldn't mind getting some implants to wear between the bra and me.

:) As long as they aren't actually in me, I wouldn't mind them.

I've seen some pretty bad boob jobs, and it isn't worth the risk.

46. This was what I was going to say...
I hope you don't get it(cancer) either, LynneSin! :hi:

I think it's wonderful and amazing that there are more reconstructive options for women than there were many years ago, in the event of breast cancer.

I like having small breasts--don't really want to change that right now.

I have nothing against women doing it--FOR THEMSELVES...;)
