Dana,

One option to implants is a lift (mastopexy) . . . the extra skin is removed . . .no droop . . .

They may be on the small side, but they're all yours! . . . You won't have to go back for surgery periodically the rest of your life either!

And you'll stay healthy to enjoy life!

Hugs and prayers,

Rogene

Dana - I know all too well about not being happy with your looks. My whole life, I had friends and family tell me I was fine but I never felt fine. I had the opposite problem as what you are describing. Instead of being 5'1 and 100lbs, I was 5'5 and 130lbs. Now this may seem ok to everyone but almost every female in my family has what I call my "pear" shaped body. Very petite from the waist up and heavier thighs, butt and legs. So I felt very out of proportion. Once I had my kids, it got worse as I gained weight. I remember trying to shop for maternity clothes - I wanted to scream "not every pregnant women gets big boobs too"!!!!! Everything was too big in my

chest area and with my expanding belly - I felt awful.

I know it is hard to be happy when you are trying on clothes and bathing suits.....but I will assure you - I have NEVER been so happy to have MY small breast back then the day I had my implants removed. I now appreciate what I have and believe it or not - they have become one of my favorite parts of my body. Why??? Because they taught me self-worth, self-value and gave me a whole new outlook on my life.

Ultimately, you will make your decision. Just listen to your gut instinct, Had I listened to mine and I would have never got them. If there is something telling you not to ge them....listen to it.

I look at my life with my 2 beautiful kids and wonder why I ever felt the need to get implants. I have a great life - WITHOUT big breast!!!!

Much Love,

Beth

Hi Dana-

Welcome to the forum! I'm so glad you found us! I am 29 years old too!

I had my salines put in a little over 4 years ago. I was sick of being

an itsy bitsy 32A! I am 5'4 " and only weigh 100 pounds, so I had

(have) hardly any fat, which means no breast tissue either!

I had no health issues with the implants for the first 3 years I had

them. However, after a random deflation (nothing caused it) this past

spring, my whole life changed! I had the implant replaced (my PS said

he found a hole in the back of the implant.) But soon after, I begin

to experience many health problems. So much so, that I could barely

function. I had every test known to man run on me, the docs couldn't

find a single thing wrong! I finally found these ladies and many more

on other sites who were dealing with the same symptoms as me. I made

the best decision of my life and had them removed. It's been almost 2

months now and I am 50% better. I have a looooooooong way to go to

detox my body from all the crap the implants left me with. I don't

think I will ever be the same again.

After all this, I am FINALLY realizing and accepting that I am

beautiful with or without big breasts, and that big perfect breasts

are not what make a woman beautiful. It has taken a lot for me to get

to this point. I had been in denial for many months because I wanted

desperately to keep my implants and refused to believe they were

making me sick, but in reality they were, I have no doubt about that.

I am mad at myself for choosing to put my body through this but most

of all I am mad at myself for putting my wonderful husband through it,

who did not deserve to have a sick wife. I am angry and sad that I

missed out on precious time in my young life due to this unexplained

illness. But I know throughout this ordeal that I have learned so

much about myself, as this illness has truly made me look inward and

see the woman I am on the inside, instead of focusing on what I looked

like on the outside for so long, this has truly been a humbling

experience.

I am trying to just look at this as a life lesson, an expensive and

painful life lesson.....but nonetheless a life lesson. Part of me of

course misses the implants, I'm not going to lie to you. When I look

down and see my scarred up double A's sitting there, I do get a little

sad, and I do indeed miss the implants at times. But I had wanted big

breasts for so long and then when I had them, deep down I was still

painfully aware that I still didn't have them and that they were never

really " mine, " what I had was a man made plastic object in each breast

making the illusion that I had big breasts. Sure I wish that God had

been a little more generous in the boobie department, but the other

things in my life that he has given me far outweigh having large breasts!

Please read the stories and the trials we have all gone through in an

effort to be " more beautiful. " Try and accept your body as God made

it, perfect in his eyes. Don't play Russian roulette with your life

and your health; I promise you, it just isn't worth it. I was one who

thought " that could never happen to me, " but I am living proof that

this can happen to anyone. Do not think for a moment that you are

exempt, because you are not. More women are sick then we are being

told. Why risk it?

I surely hope you make the right decision! We are are here for you!

Ask as many questions as you like!

Dana,

Also, in a few years, a procedure done in Japan using stem cells with

fat is going to be here. It may give you what you need without the

danger of implants. I would wait for that, and wish I had never

heard of an implant after I had cancer.

Lets try something, what you wrote is in black, and I will alter

it a bit to see how just changing a couple words, and adding

some can feel so much better.......

I am a healthy vivatious 29 yr old with two kids, bra size a 32B (very comfortable . I would like implants but I am scared. RA runs in my family, my mom and grandma. I have 5 friends with implants, as they all became unhappy with their self image, as the media, uses brainwashing strategy as their tool to advertise for the companies that make implants. So they all thought self image = fake boobs, and so far they are all very happy. I just dont know what to do.

God Bless YOU, we will be here for you

what ever you decide.

Dana,

You did the right thing by coming here and reading the other side of

the story. I researched for a year before getting my implants.

Unfortunately I didn't believe the women who claimed that they got sick

from their implants and got them myself 6 years ago. Since then I've

become more and more ill. I can totally relate to what you're saying

about clothes not fitting, etc. I was a 34 A before my surgery. I

just didn't feel " feminine " and wanted to wear certain clothes and bras

that I couldn't wear.

But looking back I've realized that for whatever reason (media, my own

insecurity, etc) I just totally fixated on that part of my body. The

more I looked into getting breast aug surgery and the more I read

women's stories who were happy w/their results, the more convinced I

was that I wanted to do it. I wish now that instead of focusing on

getting the surgery I had focused on becoming content with my body the

way it was. I wish I'd focused on getting healthy and fit (I had some

health prob's before the surgery). I know if I'd done that I would

have never gotten the surgery.

I've learned some valuable lessons through this process. You are SO

blessed that you get to think this stuff through now rather than later

when it's too late. Read all you can on this website, there is a lot

of good info in the files, links and database sections.

One more thing, there are some good websites where you can get bras

that add up to 2 sizes. I've also seen swimwear and bras for women

who've had their breasts removed due to cancer. They have little

pockets in them that you can put in those silicon " falsies " . If you

google it you'll come across lots of them. When I have time I'm

planning on finding those sites and posting them to the group. I plan

on purchasing some of those after my explant.

God bless,

April

Oh, Dana, please do not have breast implants. They will destroy your precious life. Sometimes it takes many years for symptoms to appear, but they will, and you will blame everything but the implants...that is what I did.

Honey, please do more research before you decide to do this. I have been giving support to sick women here in Canada, and the last time that I counted there were more than 3000 women who had contacted me. My name has been removed from our Ilena's website by a court order...this should make you wonder why.

Sending love and support.......Lea
