FC,

My ex girlfriend, the only girl i've ever loved, got her breasts "fixed" so that she would be more confident in bed and just being herself. she was 19 at the time. her "problem" was that one of her breasts was a different size/shape than the other. it was such a big deal to her that she NEVER took off her bra during sex with her previous boyfriend and i never saw them as they were either.

she was also very concerned about the socital impact of her decision and didnt tell many people.

she is now more opened about it although few people still know but her results in terms of self esteem were worth WELL MORE than the cost (over $5000 since it was not a simple procedure).

the down side to the procedure, putting anything in with surgery/and/or alternating anything with surgery, is that it may leave your nipples anywhere between 0-100% desensitized...often somewhere in the 20% range.

id highly suggest multiple consultations with different doctors/friends/family before undergoing any type of surgery of this nature.

if it is STILL important to you AND you've been fully apprised of all considerations both good and bad then by all means go forward with it as it has the potential to alter your life in a positive way. but NOTE that the only reason it will be positive is because of the increase in YOUR self esteem.

breasts certainly do not make the woman nor does the woman make the breasts. 90% (this statistic may be off but it is surprisingly high) of women have breasts that are different sizes ranging from barely noticible to clearly obvious. of those who are in the clearly obvious range, a large proportion get surgery and of that an even larger proportion are happy with the results (net +ev).

but its not for everybody.

please treat this as a non-reversible procedure as some of the side effects are permanent (scars, desensitization etc.) even though the implants can be removed.

also, make sure to get the opinions of those closest to you. since you posted this topic on a poker message board of which you are a frequent participant you are obviously in a state of flux about the procedure (despite having "decided" to have it) and, although we can try to help, nobody knows you better than yourself, your friends, and your family.

i hope this can put the whole thing into a better perspective for you.

good luck and take care.

PS- for what its worth, ive dated a wide range of women all vastly different in many many catagories and its often their personality and compatability (depending on my wants/needs at the time of course) that most strongly dictates my desire to KEEP dating them. you may attract more men at first, but your inner beauty will cause them to feel deeply about you, not your appearance.

good luck and take care,
