Regrets. How many of you regret your op?

Just wondering how many of you regret your ops be it BA, BA and uplift or just uplift?

I am concerned I will regret tampering with my body although I hate my saggy boobs as they are. I used to have very full DD/E when I was younger and before the children but now I am so used to my small empty ones, what if I dont like the new ones.

I am going for small and natural and fully trust my ps but dispite my dislike of my chest now I do like that my boobs dont have a life of their own.

What are you thoughts? Dose anyone feel their boobs define them or struggle with the fact that they are fake and not real. Did anyone else have these thoughts?

PS I hope I dont offend anyone that prefers the larger look, its just not for me at this point in my life (there was a time, many moons ago, when they were out all the time, the bigger the better! xxx

When I had my first BA I was very naive and was at first thrilled to have boobs and blinded by how excited I was. Once the novelty wore off after about a year I started to see what everyone was actually staring at... I adored the looks at first, at last someone was looking at MY boobs! Then reality hit and it was because they were HUGE! The surgeon had never discussed the options of an uplift with me, my nipple height was fine, but I'd lost all volume and just had empty sacks which knowing what I know now I'd have rather have had an uplift with a moderate implant to give me back volume and put me in proportion. Instead they were filled to the max!

I WAS defined by my boobs... I started to become as self conscious about my big boobs as I was about my small ones! And came to hate the stares and became embarrassed by their size.

When I needed a re-op after only 3 years when I had a rupture I decide to reduce my implants... I still wish I'd gone smaller still but they look so much better now and aren't the first thing people see when I walk in a room anymore.

In saying all that, I've had another op for revision since and another because I suffered a heamatoma. 4 ops in total and still healing.....I would still go through EVERYTHING in the blink of an eye though to have what I have now.

Losing my boobs made me feel like I'd lost all femininity, I would drown myself in clothes to disguise the lack of boobage I had. Having boobs made me feel like a woman again! I've been through quite a lot to get my boobs. But I love them. I truly love looking down and knowing they're mine... Its such a wonderful feeling when you've hated something for so long and I waited a long time for mine to just know these 'boobs' are just as good as ANYONE else's. I no longer feel inferior sat amongst women with their nice pert boobs, because I know I'm now right up there with them - no regrets Xx

None what so ever. After my 2nd ba I needed a re op , but in a way I had the silver lining as even though I had a big implant of 620cc it still hadn't given me the look I wanted so They Aggreed whilst I was having the re op pocket revision one one Breast only he would exchange them both for 800cc so I had a silver lining. With my re op and not only that it fixed the complication I had .

My 1st ba I had 380cc and it really was best thing I ever did. I had nothing a bony chest with a nipple on it and never felt like a woman as my chest looked like a boys. Having boobs made such a diffrnce to my confidence, my outlook on life and my general happiness.

So no regrets with any of my Bas I would do it all over again and again.

As For size it really is a case of each to their own. We all want diffrnt looks and outcomes from our Bas so as long as you're happy with what youre having that's all that matters. X

I always had small boobs a/b (depending on my weight) and always said that tall women should have big boobs (5"11)
Finally made the decision to go ahead with my BA and feel SO much happier now, they look like the boobs I should have been born with!!

I have no regrets at all, I love my new boobs completely. They have even changed my life, I know that sounds weird. However during the planning of my BA I found this forum, I've met some lovely people on here, and made some great friends, I also became a moderator and can help people through their journey (I do love helping people). My love of bras for my new boobs also got me thinking of how i can help people in other ways, I've got so many ideas but my first one is by selling the bras and helping people into wearing the correct size bra. So I opened up my own lingerie shop and am now happily selling lingerie and post surgery bras plus other things to happy customers. So for me, my boobs did change my life.
In how they made me feel personally, they helped me feel feminine, in proportion and gave me the figure I always wanted. I did it for me, and no one else and they're very much part of me now, it's like I don't really notice them anymore as they feel like they've always been there. Every now and again I look at my pre op pictures of my boobs and I don't even recognise them. So for me it was 100% worth it.

I think I'm one of the lucky ones in that I haven't had even a second of regret since having mine done, i would do it all over again and feel so much more confident in clothes.... And without lol. They were so empty from pregnancy before and now they're filled up exactly as I wanted xx

The BEST thing ive ever done ,I love having boobs at last ,my only regret is waiting so long to get them !!!!

I too have no regrets and would defo do it all over again, i love my boobs now and thats a great feeling after waiting so long!
Its so nice to hear other girls say the same thing,

thats fantastic misf1 well done you xx

Thanks every one! Even hubby is having dreams that when I wake up the are huge. Guess we all have pre op gitters lol!

Ive had a look at the stats thread and seems like size should be ok.

Misf1 - Im having 240cc low profile round overs. Currently wearing a 34DD due to the width of my breast but only fill half of it.I measured last night and measure as a 34C Hopeing to end up a D/DD. Whats your thoughts? xx

My only regret is not doing it sooner too!! Xx

It's so difficult to tell with implants, everyone seems to get different results even with the same size implants. Low profile implants will definitely fill out your breasts, but by how many cup sizes I'm not sure. I would think you would get your D though.

Hi ya :) I'm glad I had my ba it's changed my life a lot but I won't lie every now and again I do question having it done not because of the results they are fine but I find it quite suffocating wearing a bra all the time but that's just me I think and I lost all the feeling from my crease up to my nipples and I can't get used to that so my nipples are a total no go zone for OH which is disappointing, if I can get used to being touched on the numb parts and nipples become less sensitive I wouldn't have any complaints

That's as honest as I can be ill say this though seeing them in a bra or trying on new clothes AND OLD ha ha still brings the biggest of grins to my face its weighing up the pros and cons I think xx

Thanks girls xx

I regret lots about mine xx and if I could turn back the clock I would do things differently that's for sure xx

The problem is that if things go wrong you will forever be reminded of your regret xx

Make sure you have done your research and that you are completely happy with your PS xx

I wondered the same Hun....is it going to be more hassle than its worth? Will I regret tampering with nature? Will I feel the implants are the right size? Will it interfere with exercise forever?!?
But to be truthful although I have become a little frustrated with points of my recovery so far (due to me trying to do to much to soon), I can safely say I am 100% happy I had my BA and although I still have a long way to go before my boobs are done changing and I am done healing. I am so happy with the psychological effect they have had on me already as well as the physical one.
Hope this helps hun xx

No regrets here - love love love them! I did think I might feel like I had 2 bags of plastic under my skin but I don't at all. I feel like these are the boobs I was meant to be born with lol. I know that there's a chance of complication and I'll definitely need more surgery in the future but I'll deal with that if and when the time comes. Until then I'll just have fun prancing around in my vest tops! xx

Agree with queeny - i was a bit worried that they'd always feel "stuck on" or "fake" - like they were a prosthesis and not part of my body. But they feel 100% like my real boobs! In fact, if I'd been in a coma for 6 months during the healing, (heaven forbid) i wouldn't even be able to tell they were fake.

I now see pics of my old self and can't believe that was me. My new boobs suit me and my frame in a way my old ones never did.

I would say I regret not doing it sooner, like 15 years ago - but I'm happy that I had the surgeon and the implants I got - so they wouldn't have been available 15 years ago!!

so long story short, no regrets!

Prancing around in vest tops glad it's not just me xx

I'm only 10 days post 'll but I love mine and dint regret a thing! They are even better than my pre baby boobs and I can't wait to wear a bikini this year instead if dreading it!
I made sure I researched my surgeon thoroughly as well as the company I booked with. I was lucky that the first surgeon I saw ticked all the boxes and I know a he was the one for me, I would not have hesitated to look elsewhere untill I felt 100% confident in the surgeon I chose.

It's all about the vest tops isn't it Mais! God help us come summer!! Lol x

And me!! I made a conscious effort to wear my super tight white one when my ex came to pick our daughter up last week, haha! lol x

Sorry to go off topic there, to answer the original question - I'm only 5 weeks post op, I dont regret a minute of it and even with the possible complications that may arise, I dont think I ever will, I hope! x

I bottled it in theartre today. Am so upset with myself. I should have got a grip and got over the fear and done it. Am trying to re book tonight x

Aaaw, sorry to hear that. No matter how much we want to do something, nerves just get the better of us sometimes I guess. At least you know what to expect when you do decide to go through with it. Did you just work yourself up into a state? x

such a mess. It was like someone took over my body. I so wish my husband had been there. I have felt really cross about it this evening. I told him I needed him there and he said he couldnt t
ake the time off work. His boss said he couldnt even not work over time on the weekend.
When he got in to work this morning and told his boss what happened he said he was sorry he should have let him have the time off. grrrr!!! Always after the f*** horse has bolted! He's always a family comes first man but I got the "its your choice to do this attitude" from him and his work.

My husband just said on the phone that when ever the nearest date is they can give me he will take the time off no matter whats going on at work. I just wish he had done it before. I would be all done now.

Feeling very sorry for my self. xx
