I could handle the looks as long as they don’t harrass me.
I will wear a laser on me from now on, to surprise the guys with sunglasses :-P

Cup sizes on themselves don’t say a lot, to be honest.
Shoulder width, body weight, height,... are factors that need to counted in as well.
A D-cup on one person can cause suffering for that person and another person might have no problems with double Ds or F-cups.

I totally agree that you have more life experience than me.

Very glad to hear your sister has gained a lot of satisfaction out of her augmentation procedure.
That’s what matters. If the procedure is safe, the patient has realistic expectations and the doctor is willing to fullfill them then everything is fine.
That’s what matters.

That’s the beauty of being free in a democracy :
You don’t have to understand everyone’s choices. You can have your opinion on it but in the end it’s the person who decides to have a certain kind of cosmetic procedure and their surgeon’s decision. Not the opinion of strangers whose body it isn’t.

Certain procedures that one person deems cosmetic, can have a positive effect on the mental health and happiness of another person.
That’s the beauty of autonomy : no matter what others think about your body choices, it’s up to you in the end.
If the surgeon is willing to perform the operation and the patient is happy, the public opinion on your procedure could matter less and it won’t affect the happiness the patient feels afterwards.

Sexism is not something that should alter our choices.
The way he treated you because of your breast size was wrong. Not your breasts in themselves.
Breast reduction for back pain reduction is another story. That is a personal decision out of medical need.
But I won’t think twice about the augmented size of my breasts just because guys might harrass me for it.
I prefer to fight against the sexism and not let that guy / those guys alter my life and my choices.

If someone goes under the knife for approval of others, then it is not a good idea, I agree.
But if one goes under the knife for themselves and this can help bring out the person they are inside, then plastic surgery is not only plastic but reconstructive.
Sometimes people have given certain procedures years and years of thought.

Of course but when you do it for yourself, then I don’t see the problem with plastic surgery.

I’m 5 feet 5’’7 and 150 lbs.
My shoulders are a bit wider than I would like.
The plastic surgeon’s assist said that I am petite but that my shoulders could maybe balance it out.
My shoulder width is 16 inches which is considered large.
So that’s why I want the augmentation to draw less attention to my shoulders.

The thing about unwanted attention on my augmented boobs is something that I will be indeed a bit afraid of.
Thing is I have to come over professionally because I’m in law school and I think I won’t have many clientèle if I look like Candy the stripper because many people will assume things about my intellectual capacities.
But still, I want it so badly.
Maybe I could wear hoodies to work to hide them a bit and take the hoodie off when out of a professional setting.

150 CC is one cup size. You can book a consultation to try a few sizes. They have prototypes and surgical bras to try them in a doctors office. A board certified surgeon is what you want. RealSelf is a good site to find examples of a surgeon’s work.

I am going for 400 CC. That’s 2.75 cup sizes up. They say that more than 3 cup sizes up looks unnatural.

If you have had a mastectomy, they will want to do lipofilling first to create a pouch for the implant.

Some insurances cover breast reconstruction after a mastectomy. Worth it to check out if yours does?

I am close to a C-cup but they are still not proportional with my hips. I have had lots of hip bone growth on hormone therapy, but not enough boob growth to balance it out. I also want it to make my shoulders look less wide. My shoulders are in the wide range for a woman, because I have been through a testosterone-dominated puberty. This would make me feel more confident in my body. And that’s what matters to me. So that’s my main reason for this augmentation surgery plus the fact that trans women get boob augmentation refunded in Belgium. Health insurance pays for it.

Personally, I don’t do it to attract guys. I purely do it for myself. When I look in a mirror and see my breasts they fill me with happiness but my desire is there to have them bigger. When I wear a push up bra and give someone a hug it gives me a nurturing feeling. I love hugging other people or having their heads rest against my boobs.
It gives me motherly feelings. I love turning on my stomach and feeling my big boobs push me up. It’s a feeling that fills me with confidence, with happiness.
Personally I also want an augmentation to balance my breast and hips out with each other. I have very wide hips but my breasts are too small to balance them out. Also, despite having a good amount of boob, in clothes they look much much smaller which saddens me.
I also want to be able to wear a very thight deep cut out blouse and having my boobs being accentuated by it. For that, the upper fullness needs to be more voluminous, hence boob augmentation. But I want them to look natural so I’m not going too big. I don’t have any ambition to be a porn star.

More regularly you see old people in their early to mid 70s who still have their parents with them, well and alive.

Yesterday evening on Facebook my mouth fell open from surprise when I saw this 92 year old lady, who my dad knows, dancing with her grandson who is 46 himself already. This old lady still had her natural black hair color and was dancing a boogie. She still knew very well how to lead the dance and she was in top condition for her age. She could easily pass for a 70 year old.
Her eldest son is 73. She lost one child in 2003, who would also already be 68 himself if he still lived today.

Amazing how energetic this woman still is at her age.
And how good with her mind she still is.

I often think how weird it must feel if you are a 70 year old yourself already and you still have your parents with you. Really strange and special.

I would so love to experience that myself.
One day I hope to reach 70 year old myself and to have my parents who are 26 years older than me, still being alive. I know it’s asking for a lot to want my parents to become at least 96 but that is a big wish I cherish. Growing old with my parents at my side. I also want my brother to still be there as well by then. He would be 67 when my parents would be 96. Would be my biggest desire to experience that. Must be so beautiful.

But also weird because many of these very old people survive one or two of their children.

Super centenerians always survive one or two of their children who themselves died from old age.

I am so fascinated with very very old people.
Must be so special and strange that almost everyone of your generation passed away and you are still there.
Must be so fascinating to have seen the world change.

Must also be funny to be 97 or 98 or 105 and have your 80 year old kid still listening to you when you give them an order : “ Yes mom “ :-D

I can not describe how beautiful and fascinating I find this.
I love being around older people. They are a treasure and have a wealth of knowledge. I love how they carry the secrets of history within themselves.
I prefer listening to the stories of super old people with a good cup of coffee than going out with the young crowd.

These old people make you so happy that someone of that generation still lives to pass on the secrets of these old times and old generations.

It fascinates me both from a social and cultural point of view but especially from a scientific point of view and more specifically a biological point of view.
I wonder how their genetics allow them to live so long.

I wonder what mischief they were up to when they had my age. I wonder if they miss the older times.
I love to explore their thoughts.

The most interesting super centenerian ever is Jeanne Calment to me. 122 years old. She lived 2 lives. I wonder what special gene she had that made her live so long. I wonder why her record was never broken?

I also wonder when science will come up with rejuvenating techniques for the organs and the genes so that more people can make it past the 100 year old mark.

My thoughts are with them. I hope these 12 innocent darlings and their coach make it out of that cave alive and well.
Some media sources say that 6 kids have been liberated already, others say 4. The operation is going more supple than they initially thought because the water level in the cave is going down.

They need to swim 2.5 kilometer which is about 1.5 mile and then they need to climb 1.5 kilometer which is about 1 mile, to make their way out of that cave. What a bravery these little 12 year olds must have. To ask this from a grow adult is already a whole lot, but from kids?
I hope they are all soon reunited with their families. And may the press leave them alone and not try to make a dime out of these little poor kids their misery from the last weeks.

Well, the price doesn’t go up per cup size, you choose an implant and a certain range of implants ( between 200 and 500 cc ) is X amount of money for the implant. Then the surgeons fee, the consultation, the hospital fee and the anaesthetics + the fee of the anaesthesist are what makes up the whole price.
You also need a special bra for the first 6 weeks which adds to the cost.
A boob augmentation in Belgium is between 2500 and 4000€. A boob augmentation in the USA is between 5000 and 10000$. The price also depends on whether you choose saline implants which are silicone shells filled with salt water, or if you choose silicone filled silicone shells.

The technique varies as well. The surgeon can place the implant right under the glandular tissue of the boob without pulling up the muscle or he can place the implant under the muscle which makes for a harder recovery because the muscle is pulled up a bit. It depends on if the patient has enough pre-existing boob tissue from themselves. If the woman has enough boob tissue from herself but wants an augmentation, then the implant is placed under the glandular tissue of the boob. If the woman has poor amounts of pre-existing boob tissue then the implant is placed under the muscle to hide the ripples of the implant.
There is also a new technique called lipofilling. They harvest fat from other parts of your body and fill the boobs with that fat ( fat transplant ). A moderate cup increase of 1/2 a cup size is possible with this technique. It’s also very expensive and you need to return more than once because the transplanted fat is digested by the body for more than 30%. So you need multiple rounds. Can easily cost 10000$ for a half cup size increase.

Then there is a special technique for women who have gone through a boob cancer treatment and have had their boobs amputated. They harvest fat from the stomach to reconstruct a new boob pouch and fill it up with a silicone implant. That way the woman has naturally appearing boobs without the ripples of the implant being too visible.

Boob implants need to be changed every 15 years on average. They can leak, rupture or cause boob pain because capsular contracture can develop itself in the pouch of the boob. The boob tissue starts forming a capsule around the implant which can cause pain and infection. Sometimes that is a reason to take out or exchange the boob implant.

The process is slightly different for trans women than for cis women. Trans women need to be on hormone replacement therapy ( estrogen ) for more than 1 year. After 1 year most boob growth has been maxed out and if the trans woman is not satisfied with the size of the boobs then implants can be inserted. Trans women often have wider shoulders than cis women, causing a need for larger implants to make the body look proportional.
Trans women also in most cases never exceed a B cup and 85% never exceeds an A cup. Only 5% makes it to C cups or larger. I’m in those last 5 % because I started young enough ( I started at age 19 , am 22 now ) . Most trans women start in their late 30s, 40s and 50s. At that age hormones are less effective because your body doesn’t produce sufficient amounts of growth hormone anymore. So that’s why boob growth is subpar in these people who start at later ages.

Cis women have higher risks of boob cancer so this also influences their choice to decide on implants or not. A mammography is harder to interpret when the woman has boob implants.
The risk for boob cancer in trans women is very low. It’s higher than in cis men but lower than in cis women.
Trans men ( female-to-male ) have higher risks of boob cancer even after breast amputation, than trans women have but lower than the risk cis women run.
Boob cancer is genetically influenced. Hormones have less to do with it. Most women develop boob cancer in menopause ( between ages 40 and 69 ) when hormones are at their lowest. Fertile women with high estrogen levels in their 20s or 30s very rarely develop breast cancer when they are still fertile. This shows that female hormones, estrogen, have a protective effect on breast cancer despite what was believed for many years ( that they cause breast cancer ).

Boobs are fun but there is a whole area of science behind it. They are more than two round sexual objects.

Hope you found this informative :-)

Could be that the person you tried to message blocked you.

I’m planning a boob augmentation real soon and was wondering if any other ladies underwent boob augmentation?
Did you go for saline or silicone implants? Did you have it under or over the muscle?
I plan on going over the muscle, 400 CC , cohesive silicone gel implants.

How have your implants settled?
Are you satisfied? Do they feel and look natural?

My goal is more projection and more cleavage.
Nowadays I still have to wear a cleavage enhancer. I want my boobs to be really close together.

How much did you pay and how long was your recovery time?

I hope to be a solid D cup after the implants will have settled.

Chasteberry , Spearmint mixed in Greek yoghurt.
Grapefruit juice - 0.3 gallons - for a drink.

Thinking about money. Saw a nice Louis Vuitton hand bag but don’t have enough savings for it :-(
