I am a nearly a 34A. I have started taking breast enhancement pills. I have felt some tingling. Do they work? I also have been thinking about getting breast implants... my man wants me to... "I" want to. Ladies... men... what do "ya'll" think?

I am not certain of the stats (exactly) but a recent program on breast enhancement - on MTV or VH1, of all places - said that a significant percentage of women having the surgery require follow-up surgery within 12 months to deal with a number of issues from infection to leaking implants to scarring problems, etc. Perhaps more importantly, it was stated that implants, like many other forms of "replacement" surgery (hip and other joints, for example) require maintenance and/or replacement after about 10 years. Finally, there was something about a rather large number of women choosing to have the surgery undone for one reason or another.

I don't think these were scare tactics as the program was overall very supportive of enhancement surgery. I think that it behooves any woman to ask some tough questions of their doctor before getting into something like this.

Do you use birth control pills? There are different types (as you no doubt know) and at least some have the side-effect of increasing bust size somewhat. Perhaps you could ask your gyno...

DW is a barely 34A - possibly 34B when she was breast feeding our son way back when. Sometimes I wish they were bigger; sometimes she wishes they were bigger as well. On the other hand, at 47 years old those 34A's are nearly as cute and perky as they were at 26. Overall, I like 'em! :)

I think, after reading your other posts, that before you make a decision like this you need to speak to a therapist. You have several posts that indicate that you and you bf are having some difficulty in the bedroom and it seems that you are feeling insecure about several things. Having a breast enlargement will not help that. The only thing that will change is your breasts. Having larger breasts will not change your life, who you are, or how you feel.

Also, you are only 23. Do you think you may want to have children some day? Implant surgery can sometimes interfere with breastfeeding. Afterall... that is what our breasts are for, and an AA cup can feed a baby as well as a DD cup.

I was an A cup unitl I had my kids at 30 years old (now im almost C). Although it crossed my mind several times, I would never have seriously considered it. It was great to not have to wear a bra, I never got indents in my shoulders from bra straps holding up the weight, never had a backache, strech marks or a bunch of other things that women with very large breasts have to deal with. Dh loves my breasts whatever size they are and so do I. They are perfect for me and so are yours. They give me sexual pleasure and two of the healthiest, breastfed children I know.

I think you should stop taking those stupid pills. If you're in the states then anything that is marketed as a supplement is almost completely unregulated. Unlike pharmacueticals, "supplements" don't have to be proved safe or effective to the USFDA. The only control occurs when someone gets around to trying to convince the FDA to maybe perhaps sue them if they can find the company and find the companies assets and then make it stick. The vast majority of these companies don't get sued. I heard an interview with someone from the FDA who admitted that the FDA doesn't have the manpower to deal with the "supplement" industry and that the whole thing is mostly garbage. So all your doing is throwing your money away.

As for getting surgery, I don't think you should do it. That is very expensive, and sometimes the surgeons don't do the greatest job. There is nothing wrong with an A cup, and as someone pointed out, they age very well. Someone else also mentioned that you can go up a few cup sizes after pregnancy. I think a lot of women worry WAY to much about breast size. To me and a lot of other guys, its not all that important.

IF you like throwing your money away, go for it. Like "erection enhancing" pills, they don't work. Surgery is the only way to change the size of anything.

But once again....why are you knocking yourself out to please your BF if he does nothing for you?

Thanks Phat! I'm a 34A as well. I used to be so self conscious about this, but the guys i've dated liked me for me, not my bust size. A guy that judges you based on your breasts, is just not worth it, (and hey, they're not perfect either!) On the other hand, the women in my family have always been flat-chested until they had kids, so the possibility of them inflating a bit when I have children some day is ok with me.

But I would think twice about surgery. I personally don't like the idea of something artificial in my body. Too many risks, and I can think of better ways of spending $5000.

Breast implants are your best bet. Well worth it. I have enjoyed mine and have had no problems whatsoever. Talk to your doctor.

It's really up to you. If you decide to go for implants don't go too big for your frame. A lot of guys like small titties -- check out the itty bitty titty porn selection. If I were you I would just wear padded bras or go braless for the titilating nipple action only the small breasted can get away with without looking slutty, also put the emphasis on your behind -- small breasted chicks often have nice asses. Definitely don't do it for your bf, who knows how long he'll last anyways.

Hightek,

Well, after reading some of your posts on other boards I must tell you that unless you kick your drug habbit, no dr. will perform the surgery. Too many risks! both physical and emotional. Maybe if you really want implants, you can use that as some motivation to get off the cocaine.

Hey, I like small tits. Don't do a thing to 'em. Ditch the boyfriend that wants you to change.
