If she has a washboard chest, maybe, but if they are normal size and she just wants to make them extra big than no, I'd much prefer natural and smaller.

Are you pursuing a perception of physical perfection for its own sake? I guess my question, if it is not too personal, is since you posted this and you are considering surgery what is your reasoning/objective for considering surgery?
Over the past few months, I've become a bit of a fitness buff and am in the best shape of my life. I eat very healthy, workout at the gym routinely with a mix of cardio and weights, and do other active activities (like dancing, hiking, etc.) The one result that I don't particularly like from all this is that my breasts have become smaller - and they weren't that big to begin with. I genuinely just miss the size my breasts used to be. I used to absolutely love my breasts 100% and now I'm verging on iffy. I know that when you lose fat, your breasts will become smaller, but it doesn't make it any less disconcerting. Really, my breasts used to be damn near perfect in my eyes - shape, firmness, fullness, everything.

Wow, discussing my breasts on a forum - this is a first.

Most boobs I have met have been less than intelligent. Perhaps artificial boobs are different, like artificial intelligence perhaps? Who knows I think Ron Goulart had written about this in one of his stories, "Dynamo Daisy The gal with the electric ****", being really big in show business. So perhaps you are seeking a new profession?

No, really intelligent girls are usually interested in a different kind of silicon!

It is definitely an unusual topic and I get the sneaking suspicion that discussing it puts me on very thin ice so to speak.

First, you should do what you want to do, but I have to wonder if what you are chasing is an idealized memory. It seems that since you are getting into better shape and having a better perception of you body overall maybe things that used to measure up don't anymore.

Now I am not saying that what your saying isn't correct. I am just wondering, since elective surgery is somewhat of a big deal, if it will actually make you content or simply fall short of your ideal and thus be a disappointment.

It really is. It's pretty ridiculous. I mean, I know some people have their reasons and/or are in dire situations, but when you see them all day long, like a fashion accessory... I don't know, it's just kind of scary. And, as someone mentioned, girls getting them as high school graduation presents is just gross/sad/thought-provoking.

On a different note, I'm actually pretty surprised at the number of women who choose it, because the thought of the surgery/recovery/outcome seems so painful, ugh, it makes me cringe. They must really want it to face that.

I'm not remarking on you considering this, mango, I'm just answering Chessie's post. Glad you're trying to get feedback and not rushing into it. Good luck.

This is a fair answer. I don't think I've met anyone who had implants yet, so like I said, I have no basis for judgement. I do find them appealing in terms of liking larger sizes, on a personal level.

The two things to realize that as you lose weight, it would be normal for your breasts to go down in size, since that is one of the places that women's bodies store fat. The other thing to consider is that it would be elective surgery, and something insurance generally does not cover. So it's an out of pocket expense.

Yeah. There's a certain type of implant (illegal in the U.S., I believe) that results in a chest like that. She's an M cup, I guess for "mighty." She probably did it for her work, "big-bust" porn. It's a niche market. Someone on another thread pointed her out not long ago. (Props to whoever it was!)

In related news...

I believe someone here mentioned that girls were getting breast implants as high-school graduation gifts. I thought about that today, and I have to say that it's kind of a chancy thing to do. Many women do not finish filling out until they are in their early 20s. Then they often experience a natural slow-down in their metabolism in their mid to late 20s. Not all, but many.

Well, I'm with the many. I've never needed any help upstairs. When I graduated high school I was a 34B. If I had gotten implants back then, I'd have been an F cup by the time I hit 30. I'm not obese, or even fat. I just filled out fairly strategically. Hey, I'm Italian.
