I am and was flat chested before I had kids and post. DH knows I have insecurity issues over it. I started talking about getting a boob job, and he said that if I really want one, he would be supportive, but don't do it for him because he loves my natural, but small boobs just the way they are, and he doesn't want me to have unnecessary surgery because all surgery has risks.

I've already had a couple of surgeries, and a lumpectomy (benign thank you God), so, I've decided against it. But, I told DH that if I get breast cancer, and I have a high risk of it with family history, I will get a mastectomy and new perky boobs at the ripe old age of 54.

Men are dogs. I have natural 32DD bust and no kids and DH still wants even bigger.

I am not opposed to plastic surgery but would prioritize a nose job if I had the cash. Plus I don’t like the look of super large breasts so DH is going to have to settle for what he’s got.

One thing to consider is that they only have a 10-15 year lifespan on average. I've had mine for over 10 years and I'm in my 50s. I can't imagine replacing them and then being 65-70 and hit the average end of the lifespan with the 2nd set. I'm thinking that when the time comes and these break down, I'll just get them removed.



I did it after three kids. I enjoy them.

Please don’t alter your body surgically for someone else’s pleasure.

Agree. They do come back!


Mine never did.

This is outdated info. You don’t need to get new implants after 10-15 years unless there is a problem.

I chose a breast augmentation after my third child and it’s one of the best decisions I’ve made! Do it for you, but let’s get real. The husband enjoys the change as well.

Probably your DH would also look better with hair transplant, penile enhancement, rhinoplasty, tummy tuck and/or facelift, take a bigger loan.


Always helpful to see an angry, man-hating poster surface. /s

+1. While they are definitely not the breast of my youth, they did end up being fuller again many years after BF. Like PP, my kids are teens and I’m in my 50s and they are getting bigger again.

That’s one thing I tell my daughters that was news to me - your breast sizes changes many time throughout your life.

Same. I'm very busty now (slim figure otherwise).
