I have my ba booked for the 19th sept and believe it or not i am still undecided..i can understand how you feel. The bigger half of me wants to do this because it will have more pros than cons on my life but the thing is i am so scared of how i will feel once i have implants. I mean they will look great no doubt but how will it make me feel inside..would i have made the right choice? I am a 34a now and though im pleased with my looks and happy with my body breasts are the only thing i lack...i look at other women with gorgeous breasts and always feel uncomfortable and why should i?..i feel it is also a cause for my little insecurities especially when im with my boyfriend though i know he thinks im gorgeous i still feel inferior. i know it sounds dumb but its the truth. Making my breasts look good is also another constant worry i always have to think about what bra to wear with what gel/padded inserts so that my clothes look good and i dont feel flat. I dont hate my breasts as such because i love the shape but i have no volume. i want to be 100% confident with my self and that is why im doing this. HOWEVER, and im hoping you girls can help me with the following: im so scared about maybe regretting my ba afterwards. Some girls mention they felt alienated and this is what scares me a lot. Im scared they wont feel a part of me and i will hate them and feel 'plastic' and think what the hell have i done to my body? Do you think im going 'crazy'? I really would like to know how implants feel and how they affect you. Also, are there any girls that thought about having a ba and never went through with it? or girls that had a ba and regretted it afterwards. BIG BIG THANKYOU :0)

i was bricking it before i went for my op - for a good week before and wondered whether i was doing the right thing! and then when i was waiting to get the anaesthetic i thought 'if i'm not sure shall i just get up now and walk out' (even if my butt would have been hanging out the gown lol!)
but its natural i think to wonder whether its the right thing to do. and you know its not irreversible - nothing ventured, nothing gained. whats the worse that can happen - so you dont like them and wasted a couple of grand? you can get them taken right back out and be back to the way you were before. but i bet you wont - despite all my tears and doubts (and pain lol) i am so happy i went through with it. xx

Hey Cali,

I bit the bullet and booked my op for the 25th sept at elyzea and posted something just like you have said yesterday. It is so comforting hearing other people say the same things that you are thinking!

I've wanted boobs for so long, just a handful something to fill a bra and decided this was the only way then all of a sudden after booking it have been getting these thoughts about whether it is good idea or not! Worried that they will turn out horribly or that it won't solve my confidence problems, I should feel womanly in myself anyway, why cut myself open etc etc, but all the girls on here assured me that it was as great thing to do and that they are all so happy now, beaming with confidence.

Im sure we will be getting these ups and downs right until we walk into the clinic! But like one of the girls said to me on here, just look in the mirror and remind yourself of why you keep feeling so down and if that won't go away then you are doing the right thing. I keep looking at them now to check! lol and yep I dont want to cover up or feel unhappy anymore and I know no amount of counselling or everyone telling me how beautiful I am already will make me change my thoughts about it.

From my experience I think what men especially need to understand is that when they tell us that they like us the way we are, its nice for them to say but we are not doing it for them, we are doing it for ourselves.

So if having breasts is going to make you feel more confident, then go for it as it will also be beneficial to everyone around you aswell as you will finally be happier in yourself and that will radiate from you.

good luck with your decision! Hopefully I won't pull out before my op!

thanks for the support..xxx

First of all, i think that we all go through these feelings to some extent but you really sound like you are unsure and thats a bit worrying as once you have them there is no going back as if you have them removed your boobs wont look very nice.
When i first met with my patient co-ordinator at MYA she said that they like you to go away and think about it but if you are finding that your have any doubts then you shouldnt go ahead with it. I have wanted mine done for years and there was no doubt in my mind that i wanted them doing.I am only 9 days post op but they feel like my boobs already. Even thought they are still quite firm and i am very aware that the implants are there im just so proud of them and have no regrets what so ever.
It is a huge decision hun and you really need to be 100% sure that its what you want.

thing is ive been a worrier all my life and i am the most indecisive and nervous person i now which i hate!...thanku so much for your opinions xxx

exactly how you feel and am battling with the same dilemma, i know i DO want them and like you i love the shape of my breasts, just really unhappy with the size and not feeling feminine as im a AA which means the only bras i can buy (as if i need them!) are from M+S 'little angels' range... thats for 12 year olds.
not being able to wear lingerie or feel comfortable or lacking is horrible and i KNOW im doing the right thing by having them done at the end of the month.
youre right to worry a little, not doing so would be a worry in itself!!
i think we all experiance this as the time drawers nearer and obviously they will feel alien-like at first but from what ive heard a couple of months down the line women feel as if the boobs are their own and wouldn't be without them!!

From what you say, it sounds as though you know what you want but are just over thinking things (like me!).

you'll be fine babe, whichever deciscion you make will be the right one for you

I felt exactly the same as all of you and was still thinking it right up to the day of the Op. In the end I bit the bullet and just did it as I knew that it was something I had dreamt of for years and that I would be really annoyed and disappointed if I hadn't. I also knew that the feeling of wanting boobs would never go away and I thought I would rather do it now (I'm 27 ) than wait and regret not doing it sooner.

Anyway I'm 5 days post op. I'm not going to lie, it has been painful but, I really like my new editions and can't wait until the settle down. Yes they do feel like they are going to fall off at the minute but, I know that will change soon, each day is better and better. I know I did the right thing. If your not sure, perhaps you need to wait a while..............but, I would say that I felt exactly the same as you did.

Hope this helps.............any questions feel free to ask.

I have waited 10 years and finally plucked up the courage to have them done. I am scared that i won't feel the same as b4 but to me its worth the chance. After 3 children i have nothing left but saggy skin. When i go out i put the gel bra on and feel great, But when i get home and take it off thats when i feel like a little girl again.I will admit that i'm scared, but after all the wait i think it will be worth it. They will take some getting used to i'm sure, and to go from nothing to having something there at long last will be strange.

just go for it and good luck on whatever choice you make

hey omg u sounded exactly how i felt about my BA!! im 13days post op now and i think it was the best decision of my life!! i no what u mean about them not feeling "real" and to be honest i felt like that about 5days after and i think it was because i was in pain and i cpuld constantly feel them in me! but now the pain has gone i feel like they are just part of me and i cant even remember what my old boobs were like!! u will be fine it is a life changing decision but it is worth it in the end xxx

I was worried like you before I had mine done but its not that bad! I am only 6 days post op n I have already forgotten what my old boobs were like, Ive accept these as my own now. I just worry when I take my bra off that they will fall off my chest! The insane thoughts that go through your head haha. Please don't be scared, you have got this far already which means you must want it. Just bite the bullet, good luck xx

You sound exactly like me!! Im having my ba on 22nd and feel exactly the same as you!
Im a fairly confident in everyother way, confident in the rest of my body and looks. and like you also i also like to shape of my breasts just no volume.

I spent ages going through with my boyfriend and the nurse the pros and cons and my biggest worry was it changing the shape of my breasts to alien boobs! And regretting it after!

I do feel alot better about it. I dont want them to feel weird and not part of me but after looking at thousands of pics and speaking to people I dont think they change the shape etc of your breast, just enhance what you already have.

I keep changing my mind and thinking am I doing the right thing, but like I said I am confident in everything else but iam feedup of feeling uncomfortable and ashamed around ppl with breasts! Ialways sit on the sofa with pillows infront of me, esp when my boufriends family are around as they all have massive boobs! I dont go swimming, cant wear tops and dresses that I want to and I fed up of all of that.

I know that this is a big decision but I also know it is the right one. I dont want massive boobs just want to feel comfortable and not have to constantly be thinking about it.

Sorry for the waffle!!

I will let you know how I feel after I have it done on tuesday!! EEK!!

Hello
Just read your post and laughed ... me too I felt exactly the same, only I went ahead booked BA last November then cancelled it - terrified. Anyway the girls on here are fab and I am all re-booked for September 15 and this time I am going!!! Like you I was (and still am) worried that I am doing the right thing but hey once they are in, they are in an all the girls on here seem to agree on one thing - they love them and wished they had done it sooner, so be like me take a big breath and get on with it lol. Wanting nicer boobs does not go away, trust me I have been nagging about this for years. Good luck x
