-Honestly evaluate your reasons for wanting implants, and be honest with your doctor when he asks why you desire them. Strongly consider the possibility that they will not get you more attention, will not make others love you, and will not drastically improve your life and body image. -Visit several different doctors for consultations. Ask to see pictures of their bad boob jobs, and if they will not show you any, do not allow them to do your surgery. -If you or your family are prone to keloids, discuss capsular contracture in-depth with your doctor. -When deciding on a choice, err on the side of too large. More women return to have their breasts redone due to lack of size than return for reductions. -Bring pictures to your doctor of what you would like your breasts to look like -- make sure these pictures include before and after. Choose a before picture of a woman whose breasts are almost identical to the ones you have and who has an after picture that is exactly what you want. Implantinfo.com is a good resource for this. -Make sure that your primary sexual partner can stomach the feel of implants. Even silicone ones do not feel like the real thing. -Prepare yourself for the fact that you will need to do a great deal of upkeep on your breasts. This does not neccesarily include a bra, but does include daily massages, several new boob jobs to replace thinning out bags through the years, and special considerations when sleeping/walking/scening/playing with the dog, etc. -Prepare yourself for the possibility that you may either lose sensation and feeling completely in your nipples, and possibly other areas of the breast, or gain oversensitivity to the point where you can not even wear a tshirt. -Take at least a week off work. Make sure someone can stay with you for at least four days after the surgery. You will not be able to walk up stairs, cook, take your medication, open a soda, wipe yourself, or take a shower without someone's help. -Prepare for pain. Unimaginable, screaming, begging, regretting pain. It will last for days. -Plan for the possibility that you may not be able to drive for two weeks to a month. -Accept that your breasts will look horrible for up to six months afterwards. (Mine were literally square and seven bra sizes larger than they are now for three months until the swelling subsided.) -Your breasts will drop. Where they are on your body, and their size, will change over the first six months, again sometime around the one year point, and against around 18 months. -It is an irreversible decision. If you like them, great. If you don't, you've probably stretched the skin so much that you will have massive sagging if you have them removed. -Expect people to notice your breasts and comment on them. Strangers in the mall, baristas behind the starbucks counter. Not all of these comments will be pleasant. Boob jobs are noticable, and even though they are popular, many people will scorn you and belittle you for them. -Prioritize. Is it more important for your breasts to be large side to side or front to back? Choose your bag based on this. -Have your bags overfilled. If you choose 400 ccs, (btw, 200cc is a cup size), have them filled to 450-470 to keep wrinkles from showing on the bag. -Realize that clothes, bras, and lingerie will never fit you the same again. I can't wear a lot of shirts and suits because they are made for softer natural breasts and implants are hard. They won't conform to the shape of a shirt. -PS Take iron pills now. Good ones, not the crappy ones you buy at the grocery store. Most doctors will not do the surgery if you are at all low.
I could go on and on, but I'll stop now :) Good luck! And if you need any other questions answered, doctors recommended, ask away.
Even if your doctor does nothing wrong during the surgery, you may still have very ugly disfigurement. Research capsular contracture, mondor's cord, and symmastia.
Your implants will be warrantied. Your doctor's fees are not. If you go through with this, have enough disposable money in the bank at all times to get your breasts redone if one bursts.
Very! But I wasn't in the beginning. I got breasts for the wrong reasons, and when those reasons didn't pan out, I had to accept that it was a bad decision, and learn to simply appreciate them for being big beautiful tits.
