neveragain34 Posted February 3, 2013 Posted February 3, 2013 So last week there was a thread about how men felt about dating women with tattoos and it got me thinking about women with breast implants. Through CrossFit and clean eating, I have lost over 40 pounds in the last year (I'm 5'8", 135 lbs, went from a size 12 to a size 4). With this weight loss and body toning, I've also managed to loose my boobs which I considered one of my best physical assets. I'm not exaggerating either! I went from a 38D to a 36C. C is still good but they are so saggy now, you can't even tell they are a C unless I have a bra on to hold them up. They look like inflated balloons and I'm self-conscious about them now. I've always been about natural beauty and didn't believe in botox, plastic surgery, etc, which is why I worked so hard to finally have a nice figure, but I never realized this would happen to my boobs. I have been thinking of getting a consultation for implants, nothing big, just to lift them, but I wanted to get a man's point of view on this. Men, would you prefer natural, saggy Cs or fake, hard, plastic perky Cs?
Casablanca Posted February 3, 2013 Posted February 3, 2013 As long as her boobs are proportional to her body than I don't mind. If they aren't, even if they are natural I can't find myself attracted to them. 1
silvermercy Posted February 3, 2013 Posted February 3, 2013 I'm female but a have a friend with implants. Her bf doesn't mind either way. I think you should do what makes YOU happy. If a partner judges you just by the existence or not of implants he's not for you anyway, right? 1
Fondue Posted February 3, 2013 Posted February 3, 2013 Do what makes you happy, that's first and foremost. With that said, I think less of people whom resort to medical procedures for something cosmetic. I feel like it's a bit of cheating, or something. I would probably judge a woman based on that, yes. Similar if women would judge a man for getting dick implants, or something similar.
2sure Posted February 3, 2013 Posted February 3, 2013 Unless you want to go back to a D, you don't need implants you need a lift. In fact, I'm pretty sure even if you get implants you will also need lift surgery.
MrCastle Posted February 3, 2013 Posted February 3, 2013 Implants suck. I don't care how big, small, saggy, or perky boobs are (I am neutral on boobs) but I prefer them to be natural, no matter what. 3
Charlie Harper Posted February 3, 2013 Posted February 3, 2013 great implants(read not cheap) are almost the same as natural ones if done correctly and cicatrization is good. Get a lift if after 9 months of being on the lower weight they dont reabsorb and are saggy. Do what makes you feel better 1
Author neveragain34 Posted February 3, 2013 Author Posted February 3, 2013 Thanks for the advice! The more I think about it, the less I want to do it. Anyone worthy of seeing them anyway should like them no matter what. I'm afraid of the procedure anyway; I can't even get a shot without flinching! Lol

Lol how I fought droop - bra story - hold one tit up, then measure you tit from the nipple vertically down to the lower crease - then buy a bra whose cup-size measures the same from the front point to the seam, boned bra only, you should be able to fit yout tits in and then lean forward to check that your tits are supported, tighten the straps right up then make sure your tits are not squashed in any way and sleep in the bra too - live in it for three months - do not trust bra-fitters in shops so much Edited February 3, 2013 by darkmoon 2

kaylan Posted February 3, 2013 Posted February 3, 2013 I prefer real always. Especially on a fit woman I prefer real. I cant stand that fitness models push this false ideal of low body fat, skinny wastes and huge perky fake boobs. 1
Andy_K Posted February 3, 2013 Posted February 3, 2013 In all honesty I'd prefer the fake perky C's. It may not be PC to say that, but there you go.
Frogwife Posted February 3, 2013 Posted February 3, 2013 I'm not a man, so I can't comment to the "touching real vs fake" breast aspect, but I can comment on plastic surgery. Through natural changes in my lifestyle I lost 75 pounds very slowly over the last decade. This left me with a "apron" of fat (and hip-to-hip stretchmarks) on my stomach, that couldn't be changed with diet or exercise. In December, I had a full-tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) with no muscle repair because of having already-strong ab muscles. It has completely changed my life. If I were you, I would look into a breast lift, versus implants. I am not a fan of putting plastic/chemicals into my body. If you still have a C-cup, that's still a nice size and you could probably have some amazing results with a lift, rather than implants (unless you really want to be a D-cup). yes, there will be scars but they will fade with time. I have the same problem with my breasts (saggy after weight loss and with age - I'm 44) but I'm still a C-cup, and (National Geographic centerfold or not), men still totally dig 'em... Good luck to you. 1

Bras are only a temporary measure. There is no possible way a bra can make your breasts hold their shape without it. That is done by muscle, and bras can't build muscle. Not to mention that there is a tentative link between constant bra usage (ie sleeping in them) and breast cancer. Not proven, but I wouldn't risk it if I were you. That being said, I don't see why there should be any problem with natural sagging. IMO men who are against breast surgery should do their part by accepting that.
Drseussgrrl Posted February 3, 2013 Posted February 3, 2013 Ok listen up. I had a kid (adoption case) in my early 20's that left my boobs deflated and saggy. I got implants last year and I COULD NOT BE HAPPIER. There is this misconception that implants look like big fake round clumps on your chest that make noise. This is just not the case anymore. I got mine in a very natural size under the muscle and while yes, they're firm, my own tissue is still what you feel and they are soft and bounce around and hang naturally. And no they don't make any "sloshing" sounds. Breast implants have evolved and improved by leaps and bounds beyond what we remember them to be on trashy porn stars. I would at least get a consult. 1

carhill Posted February 3, 2013 Posted February 3, 2013 Men, would you prefer natural, saggy Cs or fake, hard, plastic perky Cs? Natural would be a negotiable preference. At my age, with a number of female friends who are mastectomy survivors with reconstruction, 'fake' is one option which most have chosen, so isn't uncommon. 'Saggy' isn't uncommon either. Historically, I've 'preferred' natural, whatever that was for the woman I was with. I'm not especially fixated on breasts as a be-all and end-all. YMMV. 1
monicaelise Posted February 3, 2013 Posted February 3, 2013 As one of the involuntarily implanted, I never thought I'd give implants consideration, but I have to say they've come a long way. I still would rather have my old "real" breasts, but it is what it is. With all the innovations over the past few years, you certainly won't be left with "hard, plastic" boobs or sloshy bags. They just aren't like that anymore. Again, I'm a fan of natural breasts even if they're less than perky, but if you really feel strongly about the issue you certainly aren't going to have to worry about being left looking like a porn star. Also, if the ptosis (droop) isn't too bad, there are lots of different lift options you might want to consider.
StanMusial Posted February 3, 2013 Posted February 3, 2013 I had my first ever face-to-face encounter with fake boobies this past year. I thought they were pretty nice. I suspected but didn't know for sure until I saw the little scars underneath. She was one of the gym ladies with a skinny little body but a huge rack. I guess I don't really care, but there does seem like a bit of phoniness to the whole thing (if done for vanity reasons). We all get older, you can't put the tread back on the tire. 1
Radu Posted February 3, 2013 Posted February 3, 2013 Real over fake any day. Just get a lift. Obviously losing them to cancer doesn't count. 1
FitChick Posted February 3, 2013 Posted February 3, 2013 I've always been about natural beauty and didn't believe in botox, plastic surgery ...until you need them yourself! This always reminds me of people who are anti-abortion until their teenaged daughter gets pregnant. 5

Men, would you prefer natural, saggy Cs or fake, hard, plastic perky Cs? Neveragain, do you enjoy the pressure society puts on women about their bodies? Do you feel comfortable with the idea that what makes you *better* in the eyes of society is the fake silcone you got implanted into your body? Would you really ever feel totally open and vulnerable and comfortable with the sort of man that wanted you to do that to your body? I really can't imagine that any person here wants to be more attractive to the opposite because of conditions placed on them by looks or money. Even for the guys that tell you, "get the implants", it's unlikely the would even want to be with a woman that would advise them to "get more money" to be more attractive. I totally get why women conform to the pressures of beauty. Breast implants being one of them. There are more and more women that get them and it presents a false reality about what the female body should be or is capable of being. However, us women are part of the problem when we do these things to ourselves because we believe that they will make us better or give us more opportunity and love or make us feel sexier. If we don't want men to judge us on these things and encourage us to do these things, then we also need to stand up against them. Even when we feel it may get in the way of what we ultimatley really want. Which isn't prettier breasts but to be loved, accepted and to feel beautiful as women. I think it's a really wrong way for women to go about feeling prettier by distoring their bodies to unrealistic proportions. And a woman can still be "proportional" how society today deems what is "proportional", but that doesn't mean that it's "healthy". Work on other parts of yourself. Not just the physical but the mental, spiritual and all those other aspects of our life. Please don't get the implants. Please don't further inable a society that already has extremely f*cked up ideals about what women's bodies should be able to do just so a man can get-off. 1
