Concerns and Queries about Breast Implants

Who knows the answer to this question? I want to increase my bust size, but I'm scared☹️. I spoke with a mammologist, but didn't receive clear information. He only said that over time, the body will start to compress the implant, as it's a foreign body and can cause pressure and discomfort. There's nothing about this on plastic surgery websites, what do you think? Someone here wrote that tumour diagnosis becomes more difficult, is this true?

The main downside is the envy of the surrounding women. As for the consequences, all the implants are new now, so any negatives might only become apparent over time. If necessary, they can be removed. If you really want a beautiful bust, I'd be willing to take that risk.

No, I don't doubt the professionalism of the doctors, I'm sceptical that our body will appreciate a foreign object, problems could arise years later, I simply can't believe that an implant can remain in the body for a lifetime without causing any issues. And I really don't fancy going under the knife again😟.

Odd, about your friend, usually, when weight is dropped drastically- the chest and face slim down first, but, apparently, she's lucky. As for the results, you're mistaken, they've now learned to do it decently, I've seen it myself 😆 but I'm not afraid of a botch in terms of aesthetics, but of the consequences of our body's reactions.

It's unclear whose anatomy this is - a human's or a cow's. By the way, the surrounding tissues are not designed for such strain at all. What amuses me is that I've read various articles about complications "..the reasons are not fully known..", "..the body's reaction.." Such a curious thing..

In 2004, I had implants put in, in 2008, they had to be urgently removed. There were problems, contracture started, severe pain, intense inflammation. I wouldn't wish it on anyone. Moreover, the post-operative period after the second surgery was very difficult.

You know, by a twist of fate, I know a bit about plastic surgeries. Many of my friends have experienced all the delights of silicone. And I myself am on the verge... So, from my observations, everyone who goes for plastic surgeries can be divided into two groups, namely: those who want to please themselves and others, and those who do it in pursuit of fashion, for the record, due to psychological deviations - that is, almost unconsciously. I see nothing wrong with people trying to make themselves better - especially since it's practically safe now, but I'm against it if this desire turns into a disease.

Perhaps one should take action if life isn't going as planned, isn't satisfying. But if everything's okay---SUDDENLY SOMETHING CHANGES WITH THE OPERATION, in a global sense, eh? I don't like this word --but karma becomes different. You lose something with the operation, you change your fate. It's one thing, I repeat, if it--fate--doesn't satisfy you. But if --everything's good?? Will it go away? Well, you'll be with new boobs, but without a husband (charm, children, money, happiness) I've decided to have a nose and breast plastic surgery 100 times. Then I think--well for ***? Everything's super with me. Loving husband, children, lovers, money, appearance (even without a E cup, but still super) health--(not to jinx it) I decided not to anger God, cancelled the operation 2 days before--and forgot about this nonsense. (probably until the next identity crisis, ha-ha) 😆

Perhaps it would be better to have a lift? What concerns you more? The shape of your breasts or their size? I would definitely not get implants... but I'm considering a lift in a couple of years... because soon it's going to be a complete mess for me 😆.

The breast becomes soft 6 months after the operation. And it's not true that it's always "standing at attention". 😆 During sleep, it does become firm again. But in the morning, you need to massage the breast, and it becomes soft again (well, not like a rag, of course). 😆

Implants - to enlarge and no longer worry about this topic. If you choose the size wisely (not too large), it will look quite natural! But it's just the appearance - to the touch it's still a bit hard☹️. Too rubbery and resilient.

I disagree with you. I have 275CC, which equates to a B-C cup. None of the things you mentioned are an issue for me. My back doesn't hurt, I sleep however I want, I still like to wear a bra as I used to and never planned to go without it. Overall, I don't feel the implants at all, it seems as though they've always been there. You quickly get used to the good things. However, a replacement will be necessary, this is something you need to think about from the start.

I've been reading here, and it's true that only narrow-minded people can say such things!!! I used to say that I would never do anything, but I never spoke ill of those who had breast augmentation and so on... Now, as a result of pregnancy, breastfeeding, drastic weight fluctuations and so on, I'm planning to have plastic surgery myself!!! My breasts are very unattractive, sagging, I'm even embarrassed to undress in front of my friends, let alone in front of my husband, and it's tormenting... And you here are spouting *** nonsense, you've heard something bad somewhere and you're presenting it as truth, yet you don't understand anything about this issue!!!

And it's my year. And the child is 10 days old!!!!!!!!!! I'm feeding🤣 there's milk. I DON'T know what will happen next, but if I don't like something, I'll definitely go to redo it! 100% Didn't get to enjoy, got pregnant! So do what you want - do it. NO NEGATIVITY AT ALL!

I wanted to as well, but I won't! 😂 I work out at the gym, eat right and my figure after breastfeeding has become delightful 😆 I've grown from an A cup to a nice firm B cup! 😊 In the future, after the birth of my second baby, I'll have a correction done. SILICONE - IT'S EVIL!!! And the girls who run after silicone - FOOLS!

And to all the girls who are against breast augmentation, what's your purpose in venting your negativity here..? If you love yourselves, everything is wonderful and amazing, then kindness should be a natural consequence of such a state, where is it? 😊

"A heap of reviews, yet very little on the topic - what are the drawbacks, really?\n1. The seams, not everyone has the ability to hide the seam under the armpit or along the edge of the areola - if under the breast - the seams will be visible - perfect options are very rare.\n2. Placement of implants under the gland or under the muscle - under the muscle hurts for a long time... and under the gland, there's a risk of sagging and skin stretching, which leads to subsequent operations to increase the implants.\n3. Fibrosis - tissue densification and formation of a dense capsule of connective tissue around the implants - this is how the body rejects a foreign body. The most unpleasant thing is unilateral fibrosis - in simple terms - one breast is normal and the other stands like a ball and a pole, even if the implant is teardrop-shaped... not a pleasant sight.\n4. Stooping, which appears in you, because they put weight on your chest and it became hard to keep your back straight - after a few years, both the breast and the back are wheel-like... nothing funny. You need to strengthen your back muscles.\n5. Your sensation - you feel them - no matter how modern they are - you feel them. It's hard to sleep on your stomach, for some it's just hell - not to sleep on the stomach, then, you swam in the pool or in the sea - the breast becomes the same temperature with the body not immediately, but after about ten minutes. The previous ten minutes it retains the water temperature and your insides are also cold. In frosty weather, you need to wrap your chest warmly otherwise you can catch a cold in the breast gland itself, which is between the implant and the skin.\n"

I'm planning to go up a size next month too, they'll be inserting a textured silicone implant under the muscle through the armpit, so there won't be a visible scar under the breast afterwards. Implant compression mainly occurs when it's smooth and placed under the mammary gland, it causes encapsulation around the implant, which is what leads to the compression and the need for replacement with new ones, in the case of textured and under the muscle these problems are minimised, but of course the possibility is still not 100% ruled out.

And I just want to add that we live once and if you really want to, then you should 😊 but if someone thinks otherwise, then my dears, your crude opinion not only doesn't suit you, but shows that you have a lot of complexes 😊 as they say "those who speak ill of us are those who are worse than us, those who are better than us, don't care about us" 😊

So, you either fed incorrectly or overdid it, causing the milk to spoil! I breastfed for a year and a half, practically every 15 minutes (this is normal for breastfeeding), nothing sagged, stretched, no veins, etc. Women, breasts are meant for feeding children, not for inserting silicone!!!

An operation is always a risk. If there's nothing to lose, one might as well take a gamble. In all other cases, exposing oneself to risk is a crime of excessive stupidity. Those who profit from this segment, they will forever persuade everyone to tumble into the abyss. Wake up, people! One should live not by the breast, but by the pursuit of truth.

And if, as a result of a cancer operation, the breast has been removed and the family has fallen apart, will there be a chance for me to try to arrange my personal life? I would like to hear the opinion of those who found themselves in such a situation.

There are many negative consequences. I'll outline the most severe: The immune system stops functioning properly, malfunctions (you could get the flu 5 times in a row), toxicity (silicone at our body temperature, I'm not even talking about elevated or when in a sauna) starts to be released and seeps into the blood, slowly and gradually poisoning the entire body... it will take time before you feel this). A capsule forms around the implant, which can contract because your immune system is trying to reject the foreign object (you'll have to remove the implant and the capsule, which is a complex and risky operation. Are you ready to take these risks for the sake of beauty, it's up to you to decide.

The risk of cancer is not high if the implants are not filled with silicone (or silicone gel). The safest ones are those filled with saline, but nevertheless, they are also harmful to the body since the shell is made of silicone. As well as the immune system's reaction to foreign objects.

From personal experience, I've found that natural is better, my experience relates to teeth. It turns out that my own dark, crooked teeth are better than beautiful artificial ones. These artificial teeth have caused so much suffering, and no one warned about the consequences... I think it's the same with breasts 😟.
