Guest guest Posted October 30, 2004 Report Share Posted October 30, 2004 You sound so much like me w/ the whole "boob" self confidence thing. Heck I was 24, 105 lbs and had a nice petite figure but was a 34 AA - not even an A!! Man that ticked me off and how totally ugly I thought my boobs were then. Of course now I am almost 34 and you know what they say about hindsight... I am not bashing you or trying to change your mind but their was one thing about your post that made me want to respond. Back when I thought my "boy boobs", as I liked to call them, were so ugly there wasn't near the research and support that you can find now and I commend you for doing as much as you are so you can make the best decision for yourself. Back then - you pretty much went by what the doctors said and trusted them. I didn't have a PC that long ago and all the stuff on the newer implants had not started hitting the fan yet. One thing that caught my eye and keeps making me think about you is the "ugly boob" comment you made. I felt the same way and never once thought of how mine would look if I had problems or needed them repeatedly operated on or needed them removed. My PS actually talked me into the armpit incision as they would leave no scars of my breasts and they would look so perfect nobody could tell!! I was so excited. I will be 34 on the 19th of November and have only given birth to one child. I had 4 breast operations - the initial implantation and three due to complications, the last being complete removal of both that were leaking. That is 4 sets of scars... first the armpit incision (it was popular back then - they are visible when I wear tank tops and are about 21/2-3 inches), then under the nipple to replace a rupture (half way around the bottom), then under the nipple again to remove and replace both implants due to severe capsular contractre then replace then - same scar but slightly larger, then of course removal which was at the under the breast crease (I would say 4-5 inches). I did NOT have a lift at removal as my doctor said I didn't need it as my implants were only 250cc's and under the muscle). I don't have any stretch marks of any significance in my breasts after my pregnancy and consequent 9 months of breast feeding but boy oh boy do I have some ugly scars. If I had needed a lift they would be much worse. Talk about ugly boobs. I cry every night wishing I had what I used to think was ugly before - I actually keep pictures I took the day before my surgery in my end table at my bed. I don't want to scare you it is something that I never, ever thought of prior to my initial operation and I thought I would bring it up. I am sure you have heard it all by now and I am hoping that you are one of the lucky ones that don't have to live the nightmare and have a good experience. I wish you well and hope if you ever need any help, God forbid, or have any questions, you will come back to us!! shari Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 30, 2004 Report Share Posted October 30, 2004 Shari I feel so badly about all that you have been through, I do not want to be cold or seem mean, I just cannot help it, I really want to get my implants, and this is the only way I see that I can do it. By getting in this study. I really think it is my only choice.I am sure that as we get older we all look back and feel that we looked so good what were we thinking, sure I understand that. I have funny looking boobs though, they are not perky and they are not round, they are kind of tuberous and there is no way that anything else can be done for them. It is really hurting my sexuality and my life in regards to men. I feel so alone and like I will never be able to undress in front of a man. I am not sure how I can ever get beyond this other than to get these implants. From all I have learned here and on other sites, the cohesives really do seem to have the best chance for not having problems, other than the usual CC and infection rates etc. Anyhow Shari I am so sorry for all that you went through, i want you to understand it is nothing personal and not that I don't believe you guys, it is just something I really have to do for myself. I wish I could somehow feel better about my breasts but i don't see it happening. I have to do this. I have a good feeling about it working out for me. i really think the study has allot of advantages. thanks take care , halvey70@a... wrote: > > > You sound so much like me w/ the whole " boob " self confidence thing.
