Thinking About Implants

I got engaged September 2017, got breast implants October 2018 and got married March 2019. Although the timelines do seem to line up....this decision had nothing to do with the fact that I was getting married/going to be in a wedding dress. It is such a personal decision with a lot of factors that need to line up (finances, work schedules, if YOU feel ready, etc.) but one major thing I can suggest before you undergo any type of body modifying surgery is this:

Know that surgery is not a magic wand that will fix all of your problems. If you are having serious issues with negative body image, I would first seek out a therapist and sit down for a few sessions. If you are choosing implants, know you are choosing them for years, and for many women, the rest of their lives. Understand that there are major costs, health risks, and recovery time. Do not base your self worth on one day with a decision that will impact you well beyond your grand exit and honeymoon. As someone who is happy to have implants, I can also say that I would've still loved myself completely without them. Once you get to that point of love and caring with yourself, and you still want the implants, then by all means go for it!

I can promise you that you will look beautiful and stunning in your dress on your wedding day and your husband will think the same!

View Quoted Comment Thank you Katie, I've been getting estrogen injections for years and I can't increase my more than A but less than B cup boobs, I don't need to be a DD cup but I don't feel I'm as feminine with smaller breasts, am I crazy to feel that way?

Not crazy at all! I went from a natural A to a D/DD with 350cc implants. I was very happy and secure with who I was as a person, but felt almost child-like or not as feminine as I would like (note I also work an industrial "dirty" job and participate in bikini bodybuilding competitions so was already willingly immersed in a more masculine world lol).

If this is something that's right for you, it's natural to have a "deadline" for yourself (like your wedding day!), just make sure you aren't only doing it for that one day -- PS also consider healing times + the time it takes for implants to "drop/fluff" aka settle into their final position!!Good luck!!!

View Quoted Comment Thank you Katie, it was so difficult being born male, I've known since I was 12, when I asked to wear a dress to school, that I would one day fix my body, so it could reflect what I always felt inside, that I was a FEMALE, I need this so badly for my self esteem, or self confidence going forward as a woman, which I am SO PROUD TO BE 👗 👙👠.
