the good and the bad of breast implants!!!
yep i know this has been a topic for many many years and this has probably also been covered but i was just wondering for the females that have had this operations what has it given to you and what has it taken away from you. and also photographers what do you think of them what are your good and bad points on them ? Sep 29 10 04:54 am Link I think breast implants are over blown. Fatty tissue relocation is far better, more natural and a great deal safer. Sep 29 10 04:59 am Link I'm no photographer or a woman who's had the operation but being a man with appreciation for such things I figure my opinion might contribute a bit. I've seen some great jobs and some pretty horrid jobs. About 4/5 of each job I've seen were pretty well done. The upside to them is the generally stay in place for longer periods of time and are usually proportionate to a person's body. The downside that I've noticed is that most (Not all) fake breasts look too similar and are generally easy to spot as fake. Sep 29 10 05:00 am Link I find small breasts to be much more attractive than medium or large ones. I find the body of a woman with small breasts to be more sleek and graceful. But that is a personal preference. I think women should do whatever they want with their breasts.

The only time they really add anything is when they are exaggerated, creating an overtly sexual image. I am not interested in this kind of image, but it has its place. On the positive side, if cosmetic surgery of any kind helps boost a person's confidence, it can help them get more out of life. Confidence in front of the camera is essential. But I would prefer that confidence to come naturally from within. Sep 29 10 05:09 am Link im very happy with all the outcome so far Sep 29 10 05:09 am Link Angels Dezire wrote: Yes, it will good as NEW. Not go overly huge.

Sep 29 10 05:36 am Link If you actually look at naked breasts "Post op" it quickly becomes apparent that many surgeons must be laughing at the results, its as if they see who can make the weirdest shape, or who can stick the nipples int he weirdest position, they probably have a slide show at the christmas party and laugh at some of the results. The amount of topless models that have surgery and then cease topless modeling speaks volumes. Sep 29 10 05:43 am Link if they work with a person.. then why not. From a photographic perspective... they are part of the individual being photographed.. does the subject suit the implant (fake looking or otherwise).. do they tell the story.. aid the story.. distract from the story in a way that you want? if yes, then they're useful.. same goes ink, piercings, hair style, make up and wardrobe. it's about the shot and the assets in front of you. Would I want my partner to have breast augmentation? no, not really.. I married her, not her and her silicone friends, but if it made her happy, i'd roll with it. Sep 29 10 05:57 am Link I had mine done in late April this year. After 4 children including breastfeeding they had lost all shape and fullness and after a long time considering to make sure I went ahead and had the op. I had teardrop anotomicals, kept a fairly small size(just enough to refill so back up two sizes) in under the muscle so my recovery was a little longer, but it wasnt half as bad as I had been warned previously. No lifting, no arms above the head and so on for 6 weeks. Personaly, I love them and my confidence level has shot up, as I have my shape back for the first time in about 10 years..its made a big change, bigger than I thought it would have had.. Yes, some photographers dont like them and wouldnt consider working with me because if it, and thats fine, weirdly although I thought I would get less work with them I have had more offers(decent ones too) since the first new topless shots went up. Sep 29 10 06:05 am Link I find them quite horrible. Even the ones that were done well.

Sep 29 10 06:13 am Link Its none of my business overall whether a woman gets breast implants. All I can do is HOPE they are doing it for the right reasons & heavily research the subject & make a decision based on what's best for THEM.

I ALWAYS ALWAYS tell them - DONT GET TRIPLE D's FOR PETES SAKE! There is one fitness model getting implants very soon. She's shorter and has a KILLER ROCK HARD body. She's getting small C's and when they're done I'm sure they'll look great!

I don't see how ANY woman would consider that. I don't like the idea of knowing that I'm not all real and natural. I ain't a D cup but my tits feel and look amazing just the way they are! Sep 29 10 08:22 am Link Be happy with what you get, I personal dislike implants in any way.. Not only in breasts, also lips or whatever.. Sep 29 10 08:28 am Link Moderator Warning!
moving to OT This does not belong here. Sep 29 10 08:30 am Link I've just seen way too many at this point and can almost spot them immediately, although there are exceptions. I was watching Boardwalk Empire and spotted them on Buscemi's squeeze and it immediately broke the 4th wall. They didn't do implant surgery in the 20's... I don't think. Oops... I was wrong... They have actually been done since 1895... Wild! Yet, they're still being done badly?? Yikes! Sep 29 10 08:31 am Link Rebel Photo wrote: 1. They have no idea if the fatty tissue relocation will deposit properly.

Sep 29 10 08:39 am Link This post made me giggle because for years people used to think my boobs were fake. So, if I was comfortable with the person, I'd let them touch the top so they can tell they were real. Sep 29 10 08:41 am Link Sirensong wrote: Yours look very nice, and very natural! I love breast implants that enhance what is naturally there. I hate the kind that look like oranges shoved under one's skin. To me, it's just unattractive. My husband and I recently watched Zombie Strippers, and the implants were so prevailant that it didn't even feel like the women were really topless. At one point, my husband just goes, "Can we stop watching this, now? I'm getting really tired of seeing Jenna Jameson's chest. Like.. really tired."

She's always been very happy with the results, and more confident about her appearance. She is a beautiful woman anyway, as you are, and absolutely deserves to be feel good about how she looks. You obviously had yours done by a skilled surgeon with a keen eye for his craft, because you look wonderful . If you feel good, and you feel confident, and YOU love how you look, then it was definitely a success. Sep 29 10 08:53 am Link Several women I know have had implants. IMO they were fixing something that wasn't broke. The outcome depends on the skill of the surgeon. One was a model I have seen nude both before and after surgery. She went from an A to a DD. She also had her nose done and in the process lost a very exotic middle eastern look and a toned gymnasts body. I thought she looked great to begin with. Hers was well done with no visible scarring. The others were co-workers that I never saw unclothed so I can't comment on visible scars or nipple placement. One went from an A to a C. If one hadn't seen her before the implants were not obvious. Before she had the surgery we were on a business trip together and she told me she was considering implants and asked my opinion. It was a bit awkward, I told her I thought she looked great the way she was and advised her against doing it. The other co-worker had the bigger is better philosophy and really looked like she had aftermarket parts installed that defied the laws of gravity. They all looked great before they had surgery. I really don't know their motivation for getting implants and my comment to those who choose to get them is to make sure they use a skilled plastic surgeon and don't overdo it.

My gramma had back problems her entire life and ended up having not one, but two reductions. First one to a C, second one down to a B. She was happy with that. I had major back problems for the past few years, until I was lucky enough recently to lose 18 lbs by changing up my diet and exercising more. Now I am just slightly smaller and able to walk a bit better, with a small D cup. Any woman who feels uncomfortable with her own body should try whatever they can first without surgery to feel good again. If that is not possible, go to what means you must to make yourself happy, just make sure you think of consequence and risks etc. cheers Sep 29 10 09:03 am Link Angels Dezire wrote: Fake boobs?

She would be gorgeous either way, but chose this way, and she is awesome. It really comes down to finding a good surgeon who is skilled at matching your breasts to your build and not over-doing it. Sabrina Maree looks very glamorous in her port, AND very natural. Sep 29 10 10:21 am Link Sabrina Maree wrote: was waitin for you to pop in!
