Breast implants lots to say…

And you’ve been cancer free for 20 years. Congratulations. Like you, I’d rather be healthy than voluptuous.

A lady who wanted a breast lift was talked into a much larger size. It was a difficult procedure. She was happy with quantity. Haven’t seen her in six years so I don’t know the results now.
Thanks Jules, for reminding me I'm cancer free twenty years! 🤗 I celebrated in July!
 

I know at least half a dozen women who've had breast reduction surgery (all are delighted with the results) and none who've had implants.

@LadyEmeraude, what questions did they ask you about breast implants and why do you think the college student should be more careful with her topics? (Perhaps she didn't ask men because she was focusing on women's opinions.)
Nice students, but nipple sizes I feel might be a bit much for some they wanted to interview.
That was one of her questions regarding implants. A few were too squirmy being asked that question. Imo.

Yes, this student was more focused on the female customers that day.
 
I never really understood breast implants, unless there is a medical reason for them. Sure big boobies are nice, but women come in all different sizes and shapes. I have known plenty of less endowed women that rocked my world;)
 
Where do I start? Not sure. I will just run with it -- to see where my own thoughts take me.

I wonder if there might have been several reasons why the students didn’t want to talk to the men about implants. Maybe their questions were purely based on the female perspective -- the for’s and againsts, reasons for or against, costs, or how women perceive potential risks, especially in the long term. That’s not something a man can easily answer, unless he’s already discussed such things with his partner and formed his thoughts from those conversations.

Had the students wanted to include men, I imagine the students would want to approach the men cautiously. It’s possible to have a mature discussion with a man about breasts, usually one-to-one, but probably best not in a public setting. In that sort of environment I think most men would feel uncomfortable, aware that everyone’s eyes might turn towards them. And if a man’s with his mates, the whole thing could quickly descend into immaturity. I believe one-to-one would be much better with a man.

If a partner were to say she was seriously thinking about implants and asked for my opinion, I’d say: don’t do it unless you feel it’s truly necessary. Necessary not only for your physical wellbeing, but perhaps also for your mental wellbeing. One can be just as important as the other.

I read through this thread and paused at post #5. Someone mentioned “watermelon” implants, and my first thought was: "You have got to be kidding me. Nothing surprises me these days. Some people will have anything put inside their bodies." Then I read the second line, and it still didn’t click… not until I’d read it two more times. Then it was a kind of, “Ha! Now I see. I think.

This thread made me think back to when I was young -- really young -- surrounded mostly by women: my mum’s friends, aunts, and both grandmothers. Their homes were filled with women’s magazines: Woman’s Own, Woman’s Realm, Woman’s Weekly, and a few others I’ve forgotten. To a bored young boy, they became reading material, all woman & family focused. Often there would be articles about breasts. Quite fascinating to a young boy, though no one seemed to care what I was reading.

Not that those magazines taught me to become an expert on any particular subject, but they did seem to make it clear how important breasts were to many women, for all sorts of reasons, especially in how breasts made them feel about themselves. So, my thought is: do whatever feels right for you as an individual, in whatever makes you feel comfortable in your own skin. Of course you don’t need me to say that. Just make sure you have all the relevant, factual advice you can find, and understand what your choice might mean for you later on.
 
I think sometimes the male friends or husbands want that their mate gets a breast implant.
As a female I'd kick such a man in his butt and throw him out of the house.
But if a woman really wants it for herself (don't forget that women often compare themselves with other women) I don't see a problem.
Careful surgeons always won't do too large implants. I watched a talkshow with three very experienced plastic surgeons (one woman, two men). All of them stated that they don't do it.
If a man wanted me to get breast implants I would agree, just as soon as he got a ***** (edited out for some reason, starts with p) implant…
