You're 23. Why don't you wait until you really completely finish growing and/or pop out a kid before dropping 7 grand on boobs?

Maybe spend the money on something useful, like, college. hmm

However, if you're hellbent on stuffing your likely still growing chest full of plastic, don't skimp on it. Do your research, find a good surgeon, and work out a payment plan with them.

Do not try to skimp on cost when it comes to your body. This isn't a piercing that you can just take out and let it heal up if it looks bad. You don't want walleye tits, do you? You don't want to develop an infection and completely lose your tits altogether, do you?

I will never understand why people try and take the cheap way out about shit when it deals with their health and body.

www.myfreeimplants.com If you want to get other people to help you pay for them. The downside is you have to raise the entire amount of the surgery, you can't pay your own half and the site pays the other, unless you got another 'paying' account and paid it to yourself, and they deduct some money from every transaction made.

But you have to really work it and be willing to do some.. not so respectable things.


edit: LOL someone said it before me.


Also would like to point out, with loans, if you have bad credit you can get a co-signer.(parents, boyfriend, friend?)
Or you can loan from your parents/boyfriend/friends and that saves the bad credit problem.
There's also a thing called Care Credit specifically for financing surgeries.  http://www.carecredit.com/

Wait a sec...  Someone is seriously considering a mortgage on fake tits?????  OMFG

She is one of the best in Cincinnati and I don't want to go to a bad Dr.  Saving money is not worth risking my life.

Does anyone know of a Good Dr that charges less near Cincinnati?  And does anyone know where to get financing for a person with bad credit?

OP, I guess I have to ask WHY you want bolt-ons to begin with.  Are you hoping it will do something for your modeling potential?  Save your money...  Fake tits do not equal "model".

Speaking of health and body, I've seen girls with these tight fake boobies and their rear looks like porridge. If your going to do this, hope you plan on keeping your body in stellar tight ass shape. Yeah, I know, your 23, you'll never get old, but when you do, just keep that in mind. Nothing worse than fake "and" saggy...

You don't want to go through the pennysaver for this..

Seriously, if you needed surgery on something, its not something that shop for a good deal. You want someone to do good work..Period...

If you have to cut out coupons for a two for one special.
(thats not too good)

If you can't afford a boob job, look in to doctors who do payment plans..
and ask and ask for referrals........

I didn't have the foresight to realize that when I first started modeling, or the income, or the drive to do so, since I've always liked my body.... but, many women do it to increase their perceived value when they are making a living off their looks. If your body is disproportionate, and you change that, it can make a significant difference in your income, the types of jobs you get, and the rate at which you book those jobs.

Consider this: If you work in a job that you earn TIPS, or where your breast augmentation would improve your income, then the boob job can be written off on you Taxes. I know of girls in Vegas, cocktail waitresses, strippers, dancers who have all done this.  Now my information is a couple years old so I would check with a CPA before you count on it. But the IRS does/has accepted it as an expense related to career advancement!

I myself have been considering a "breast lift". I am naturally a 32G and I am 43. Sure they sag, ya they dont look the same but the thought of having the lift surgery "SCARES ME TO DEATH". Part of me wants it real bad and part of me wants to stay me, au natural!

I completely understand your desire to have this surgey. I mean if you look all around you women are getting their boobs done. But like the other posts, it comes at a price!! Not just money $$$$ but health as well. But I know what its like to want something so bad that you look beyond the risks.

Sure I enjoy modeling and its fun and I will keep doing it until it stops being fun but I had more satisfaction from being a mother, wife and other things in life.

Having big boobs isnt what its cracked up to be!! Not only that but finding bras that fit is a pain in the butt!! Good luck to you and I hope either way that you get what you want.

I have never heard of this.  It would seem contrary to ebays TOS.  (Not disagreeing, just haven't heard of it).

I have, however, heard of women starting fundraising websites like "Buy Me New Boobs!" complete with Jerry Lewis Telethon style donation trackers and such.  Naturally, anybody who contributes to the cause gets a peek at the twins after they are implanted.  Pretty good idea for those too poor to afford it themselves. 

Which reminds me, I have to put some more money in my Paypal account...

Actually, no.

All breast implant surgeries are to enhance self image. It's not always just "Oh, I wish I had bigger boobs" however, it is to enhance self image.

If the person was truly happy with their appearance, they wouldn't need the surgery. Boob jobs are not a life saving, medically necessary plastic surgery. I can understand and sympathize with a lot of women who DO get them, because it's not always just "Oh, I just want big tits!"

Also, going to them gym is ALSO for the purpose of enhancing self image. You get the added benefit of being healthier, but really, would you go and sweat your ass off 4 or more times a week if it didn't make you look great? If you could be just as healthy without it? And I do know some people who take going to the gym and working out to an unhealthy obsession who COULD use some counseling.

If you want them badly enough, you can wait while you continue to save up for a GOOD job that will actually make you happy, rather than a botched job that turns into a waste of money youre apparently going to owe back to someone.

Also keep in mind that youre getting them at a pretty young age, which means when youre like 50something, they'll either need to come out or be replaced most likely, which is another investment you need to be ready for.

Unless there are complications that are immediately threatening your life, your insurance probably wont help with it. My mother needs to have hers taken out, BADLY, because of health problems, but theyre not going to cause her to drop dead tomorrow, and we dont have the thousands of dollars to spend on elective cosmetic surgery...so she suffers daily.

To Elizabeth Claret --

Thank you!

Cosmetic surgery, within the context of this thread, is being done for enhancing her self-image and maybe helping out her pocket book, as well. She does have various options for solving her self-image situation. I was simply suggesting counseling because it didn't require the knife. So many beautiful women scar their bodies with various cosmetic surgeries for reasons which could be solved with counseling. It's not the only solution, but it's one she should consider.

Please don't rub it in my face that I agreed with you for once, or defended something you said.

I don't have an issue with cosmetic surgery as long as it is well thought out and carefully researched, and not done on a whim. A person's body is there own damn business, honestly.

I hope the OP does take into consideration that her body will likely not remain the same as it is now. Hell, I had an A cup until I was 22, and now I'm almost a D cup. The things don't stop growing just because you're over 18.

Why don't you just go to more than one consult? You should regardless. I went to three, and they all charged different prices. The cost was not what swayed me to one surgeon or the other, but more how we "clicked" and how I liked their other work and their attitude.

Implantinfo.com has some good surgeons listed with references. It's a good place to start.

I flew all the way to the other side of the country, literally from California to Florida, because he was the best doctor I found and I knew he wouldn't F-up my tits. If you want a good boob job, go to a respectable doctor and do your research. I know women who've gotten three boob jobs just because the first one messed up.

Also, not only think about the doctor, but think about the consequences. There are complications that even the doctor doesn't have control over (i.e. capsular contracture). Know what you are dealing with.

Y'know, before getting a boob job, I recommend 'test driving' the size you want to be to see if you really do like it and don't mind the weight. Get some really good falsies for awhile and see how you like it.

Otherwise, get a job just for boobs. Quit said job when you have enough money saved. My friend is saving for her wedding, so she got a second job on the weekend and calculated how long she would have to stay working there to cover her portion of the wedding. When she's done, she'll prolly stay because she loves that job now, but her plan was to quit afterwards.

If it is for self-image, so what? If it makes someone feel absolutely wonderful, and sexy, and drop dead gorgeous, and that it was a good investment to their happiness and the way they see themselves, why is that an issue with you?

Sheesh.

Also, how come it's always women that are the first to jump on other women about improving their self-image? Half the time neither of the women would even consider each other potential partners, so it isn't any of their business.

i have the best idea.  with the $7,000 get one done, and go to the best doctor money can buy.  then work a the circus as the one breasted lady until you save the other $7,000 and get the other one.  then again, you might change your mind and stay working at the circus with the one boob, probably more money in that.

or you can gain 30-40 lbs.  i am sure some of that will go to the boobs.  that way you can get a boob job for the price of a few bacon double cheeseburgers.

i hear colombia, venezuela, and argentina are great places to get boobs done.  they do so many over there.  argentina will probably be the most fun.  like my one girlfriend that went there on vacation said, in buenos aires, even the garbagemen are good looking.
