I have the hardest time overcoming how I feel about my small breast size and the shape. I'm 180lbs and I have a 'a' cup and they are not round at all. My bf tells me he doesn't care and he loves them anyway. My clothes never look right and I feel ridiculous having to wear all these heavy bras to give an image that I do have beautiful breast. If have thousands of dollars I will great breast implants.

Your boyfriend loves you! He's told you so! He loves the way you look NOW! Small breasts and EVERYTHING!! Doesn't that tell you that you're acceptable and desirable and loveable without any breast operations? And I haven't the slightest doubt that HE'S NOT THE ONLY ONE who could really go for you! You are making misery for yourself that's just not justified. Why feel unhappy when the real facts justify happiness? You LOVE him!!! He LOVES you!!! Believe me, THAT'S PARADISE!!! Ease off on yourself. Stop looking in the mirror. Enjoy the moment. Love your boyfriend. Let him love you. And have a GREAT time!!!

It's your body, your self's vehicle. Does it run well? Don't worry about the fancy geegaws

I was small too, gained nearly 150 pounds and larger breasts too. Now I'd gladly trade you back! I don't mind the weight but I'm getting older and larger breasts aren't going to age well!

I like small breasts on some women n__n

Besides they are for feeding babies not your ego. lol

Okay, so my best friend has huge boobs-HUGE. and let me tell you, it isn't that great having big boobs.
1. They hurt MUCH more on roller coaster rides
2. Bras in that size are RIDICULOUS
3. Boys get really annoying after a while
4. Need to buy shirts one whole size bigger because there isn't enough fabric to finish covering the rest of her

so uum...big boobs are really annoying . Plus he still loves you, and yeah, basically being a mom is like being a cow. *awkward silence*

uuuuuuuuuuhhhh......heh.

i was extremely large busted... like seriously. i had a reduction done and for me, it was the best choice and i have ZERO regrets. i was disproportionate and it was causing issues that would have worsened over my lifetime.

but.. i will tell you that i do regret how bad i felt about myself and my body before and after. i do wish that years of being targeted for sexually explicit comments and jokes had nothing to do with the decision. i wish i'd been able to like myself no matter what... but in the end, the surgery was a healthy decision for other reasons.

If you could go out today and have those puppies made into what you feel is the ideal for you - would you be happy? My money is on no. We fixate on perceived imperfections and attribute them with far more than is reasonable. Your breasts don't make you unhappy and they don't make you attractive or unattractive - your brain does both.

women who feel good about themselves are beautiful - period. They shine and everyone sees that. People will say oh it's because she has such a pretty face or this or that... BS. i worked in plus size retail for a while and the women who looked good came in all sizes and shapes - because their self-acceptance shone through.

many men will say the same... that a women who accepts herself and feels beautiful has an energy that is attractive

now.. having said all that... i had a reduction that i am very happy with. There are other things i will have done when i can afford it, but not because i hate part of me, but because i want to be healthy and i don't have the ability to get there through pure effort.

An enhancement surgery is extremely painful and expensive and unless you feel good about yourself before the surgery then you probably won't afterwards either because your breasts get altered and not your brain.

ask yourself some questions... like, what is it you think that you would think/feel/be if you did have the body you believe you want? What would be different about your life? What would be different about how you see yourself? What does being small or big breasted mean to you other than clothing size?

you're attaching some meaning to the idea beyond the physical... telling yourself in some way or other that being of a certain breast size or body shape is somehow not as good. Figure those things out and you may find a better way to alter how you see yourself.

I truly understand your feelings concerning the size and shape of your breasts. Before I had my two girls I was an "A" cup and after I breastfed my girls I was a "sub-A". I had always had feelings of inferiority over the size of my breasts despite my husband's protestations that "more than a mouthful" was too much. It was solely my issue.

When I was 29, I decided that I wanted breast implants for ME. I did all of my research before I even consulted with a board-certified plastic surgeon.

Let me emphasize that breast implants increase size, but do not necessarily change the shape of a woman's breast. In other words, your breasts will be your breasts except larger. That's exactly what I got - my breasts except that they were larger. I have never once regretted my decision to get breast implants even though I developed a very common problem, called capsular contracture (very hard breasts caused by scar tissue developing around the implants - estimated to occur in roughly 30% of women).

In 2005, I had my breast implants removed and replaced (breast implants are not life-time devices). I was devastated with my results. My implants were practically up to my collar bone and my areolas were at the base of my implants. After 3 revisions with Dr. "X", I decided to cut my losses and see another plastic surgeon. My new plastic surgeon diagnosed the problem right away - "You need a breast lift" which is what I had been trying to tell Dr. "X" who would not concede the fact.

In 2006, I had a tummy tuck, lipo, and a breast lift and could not be more delighted with my results. It was very costly, but it was well worth it!

If you want breast implants because YOU want them, then I would recommend that you read everything you can so that you can make decisions along with your surgeon. There are many factors to consider: size of implant (you risk deformity if you try to go too large), type of implant (silicone or saline- silicone has the most natural feel), shape of implant (round or anatomical), and placement sub-glandular or sub-muscular - (more chance of capsular contracture with sub-glandular - better coverage of implant in sub-muscular in women with little or thin breast tissue).

The psychological aspects of breast implants - Does having a larger breast size make relationships better? No! Do implants make life magically better? No! Does getting breast augmentation shield oneself from depression? NO!

The physiological aspects of breast implants - Do women sometimes have to go through multiple surgeries for revisions? Yes! Do women sometimes wish they had never gotten implants and have them removed? Yes, a small percentage of women go through another surgery to have them removed! Do women risk getting capsular contracture that causes the breasts to become distorted and sometimes cause pain? Yes, according to the FDA approved literature for all breast implant manufacturer's - the percentage of women getting capsular contracture is roughly 30%. However, there are degrees of capsular contracture from I-IV. I lived with Grade III capsular contracture for 16 years and still loved my implants.

Finally, the real cost of breast augmentation! Any woman who is contemplating breast augmentation should have enough money set away in the event that she needs/decides to have another surgery because of a problem. For further detailed information, may I recommend:http://www.implantinfo.com/

In the meantime, what is important now is to get an action plan together on the things you can do to help improve your overall sense of wellness, beauty, and femininity. Laurie

I'm involved with the theatre; so there's lots of size discussion. What I have come to understand is no one likes the size/shape of their breasts. lol Women who are small want to be bigger, those of us who are bigger would willingly give ours away.

For instance, when I go to dance rehearsal or want to go running I have to wear a sports bra with adjustable straps that's a size too small to keep from bouncing so much it hurts. Honestly, it's embarrassing a lot of the time. And those cute tops that you can't wear with a bra? I can't wear them. That means no strapless, no backless, and no criss-cross fronts. I can't wear shirts with writing on the front (it ends up folded underneath). I've decided the best policy is to try to love what you have... Good luck!

Hi, I myself have had DDD's at one point in my life. I'm 145lbs and DD's at 5'9.5. All the hype is about getting bigger breasts! NO! They get in the weigh, guys treat you like a sex object because you have big boobs. It seems all "fun" to just have an extra 8 lbs of boobs added to your body but it can suck! It hurts to walk fast without support, victories secret doesn't sell any bras but full coverage black/tan/white! Although I am embarrassed sometimes about my size, I understand how you feel. I used to be the girl with the anti-boobs! I really had almost nothing there for my whole life and suddenly I got what I wished for and pop! I got what I thought would be the best thing, but weren't. Love your body! You have to live with it for the rest of your life

[ladyjrnlist]

Get this one. I am plus-sized and still have to wear an A cup. I gained weight everywhere BUT my boobs. I have a tough time with my body image too, but we have to try to accept our natural beauty. We all have it.

[with or without you]

If your boyfriend loves them and you, that's all that matters.

And I have a work friend who is very well-endowed...people bug her about them constantly.

I had implants when I was 26. I was really flat!!! Now that I am older, had a kid, past menopause, they are loads bigger. I can't complain though, even though they sag, but I don't have any choice but I have to wear a bra. At least when I was a flattie, I didn't need to wear one!! Bras are obnoxious things!
