Brest Implants?

I saw a add for a line of brest implants in a magazine that started with a N.
From what I read it came in diffrent shapes and sizes.
For me I realy dont want them that much bigger I’d just like them to be more “round” and even.
If you get them silicone would that still bounce and be squishy.
Lol i’d still like them to feel real and be able to squezze them. Is that posible?
Anyone know what im talking about and what the name of it was?
Does it hurt just after the surgey or youre whole lfe? My mother has brest implants but im not going to ask her about them. I just want to know if that would still bounce and move and be like real ones?

No one can tell you that. Some come out better than others, and it depends on the type of implant you get, how you get them inserted and the size of your implants now.
There are silicone, gummy bear, and saline. However, if you are under 22 you can only get saline. Then you can get high profile, low profile (I recommend low), teardrop or round, under the muscle or over, etc.
Gummy bear are typically the most “real” feeling. If you are an A cup now, they will seem more fake if you get implants, compared to someone that is a B cup. More breast tissue makes a more natural implant look.
I don’t know the type of implant you are talking about but if you make an appointment for a consultation the doctor will tell you the best options for your body.
I have saline, low profile, under the muscle, through the nipple, and round shaped. They do not look like fake boobs when I’m not wearing a bra (though they can when I am wearing one), and are very bouncy and squishy. I was a B cup, so I already had breast tissue.
The strong pain lasts about two weeks and all the pain is gone in about 2 months.

Why do so many women get implants?

£3,000 to £5,000 is a lot of money to spend on making a body part bigger.  In my previous work as a Grid Model I was always shocked at the high percentage of young girls that I worked with who had had breast enlargements or who were planning too.  The girls and I were only earning an average of £120 a day and I found it scary that they would spend up to £5,000 on having their boobs made bigger.  It was even more shocking to hear that some who had already had surgery were planning and saving up to have their boobs made even bigger or maybe have them reduced!  Most already had great boobs in the first place!  Why not just put in some chicken fillets under the lycra grid girl outfits for £14.99 or if you want really big boobs put another pair of breast enhancers under your outfit for £19.99!

£3,000 to £5,000 is more acceptable to spend on improving your body if you are a millionaire and already own a house without a mortgage, own a flash car, have savings and can afford holidays.  However, so many young girls that have breast enlargements just have debt and they believe that having bigger breasts is so important and it will change their live.

I think girls justify this huge amount of money because they must believe that bigger breasts will equal a better job, make them more appealing to men, help their confidence, make them happier and maybe even make them more money in the long run.  Maybe, it will help them bag a rich man.  Or, maybe they will get a promotion.  Or, maybe bigger breasts are just in fashion.

I don’t really know why girls and women find hard fake breasts more appealing than their natural small breasts in the first place?   Or why do women want something hard and potentially dangerous put under their skin?  Will big fake breasts really make you happier? 

I do not disagree with implants and there are a lot of really positive cases where implants have changed women’s lives for the better, and this can only be a good thing.  I am not criticising breast implants.  What I am trying to point out is that I find it very worrying that girls can spend so much money on cosmetic surgery when most are gorgeous in the first place.  I find it especially shocking that girls prioritise breast implants over other investments when they have hardly any money and perfectly adequate breasts in the first place.

Ladies, would you like breast implants as a gift?

My wife of 20 some years has always been dissatisfied with her bust size. She has spoken many times of wanting to get augmentation. She looks 15 years younger than she is and is in good shape.

Her birthday is coming up. I am thinking about giving this to her (not sure how to handle the logistics…that’s another question).

Do you think this is a good idea?

Ladies, does this seem
Oops…should say “like a good idea” at the bottom.

I got them for my 40th birthday and love them. I like most had the saggys from 5 children and got to the point that I didn’t want to change clothes in front of him because of low self esteem. He loved my body just the way it was and even said so, but then when I explained that this was about me and I did not want to do it for him, but for me alone he understood. The next thing I knew we were doing research and setting up a date to get the twins.
Other than my wedding ring it’s the best gift he ever gave me.

I think she will love you for it, but you both need to do all the research first.
Also, Tell her if she gets neg reaction from jealous people about the “FAKE” issue. Not to worry. Most of them will have on make up or hair color and nail polish. Uh…. don’t think that those are God given either.

Cohesive Silicone Gel Breast Implants

Cohesive silicone gel breast implants represent the latest development in the long and sometimes sordid history of the breast prosthesis.  Silicone was the original material chosen to fill the very first marketable modern breast implants and this material is still used today, decades after the first breast augmentation surgeries were performed.  However, the newest type of silicone prosthetics have been greatly revised to eliminate many of the concerns inherent to previous generations of breast implants.

The original breast implants were silicone sacs filled with viscous liquidy silicone gel. This thick filler gel and durable outer shell were well received and proved themselves resistant to damage and rupture.  However, the implant lacked a soft and realistic feel which led the next 2 generations of Silicone Breast Implants to feature thinner shells and more liquid-like silicone filler material.  These were the implants most responsible for the sudden surge in implant based litigation, since a great number failed.  A majority of women with these redesigned implants endured problematic ruptures and leaks, as well as migration of the thin silicone filler throughout their bodies.  This occurrence was made worse by the lack of patient education and risk acknowledgments by the manufacturers, including the infamous Dow-Corning Company.

Later generations of Silicone Implants did far better in holding up to the test of time by once again featuring a thicker outer shell and a thicker liquidy silicone filler.  However, the damage had already been done and the silicone implant seemed doomed to die a slow and deserved death due to its former reputation.  That is until a new development was made which created the finest implant prosthetic to date.  This is the latest model cohesive silicone gel breast implant.

Cohesive silicone gel is a revolutionary material which is not like any other silicone filled prosthetic of the past.  The filler material is not a liquid at all.  In fact, it is a jelly solid, much alike in texture to gummy bears.  Many patients lovingly call these medical devices gummy bear breast implants for that reason.  Cohesive silicone gel implants will not leak or rupture, since there is no separate internal filler which can escape the shell.  The filler is bonded together and can be cut cleanly with a sharp implement, so even if the outer shell is compromised, there is no danger of silicone migration throughout the body.

Although cohesive silicone implants are light years ahead of past silicone prosthetics, they are far from perfect.  Some patients report that the implants are still too firm and lack the life-like feel of older model silicone liquid implants.  This is the classic trade off of feel for safety.  Additionally, silicone implants, regardless of which type, can not be used during transumbilical implantation procedures, which are designed exclusively for saline filled breast prosthetics.   Therefore, the newest cohesive silicone implant will not dominate the market entirely, even if they do catch on to the degree anticipated by the best cosmetic surgeons.
