How much does a breast augmentation cost?

How much does a breast augmentation cost? Have you had one and are you pleased with it.

[Princess kate]

My sister has had it done, cost around £3000, had it done on the thursday morning, didnt go home till sunday evening, she didnt think it would be as painfull as it was! Was off work for 6 weeks, as she is a hairdresser she was unable to lift her arms to cut/blowdry hair....I would seriously consider it before having it done as it is not an easy option. Has to redone every 10 years i think.

Dont think my sister is overly pleased with the actual shape, she really didnt have much to start with so that may have effected how the shape has turned out!

Be happy with (and proud of) your body BelindaLee, don't go putting nasty foreign bodies into it unnecessarily, the side effects can be very damaging. Hugs xo

Have you had one and are you pleased with it.

I think you usually have two. :p;):D

My sister has just had her's done for £4000 and they are fully insured for 5 years.

I had mine done about 12 years ago they are still fine and don't need replacing, replacement is all about how you look after them really, big changes in weight, or having kids "can" mean they need replacing as your body changes and they can move i got lucky mine where/are fine despite having 2 kids.

when i had mine i was in hospital over night and i needed to take 1 week off work, was in reasonable pain for a few days but was up, about and driving within a week. (mine where unders)

My sister had hers over the muscle and she was throwing my 7 year old within 3 days with almost no pain, and was out of hospital within 4 hours of coming out of surgery tbh other than some mild discomfort she seemed fine within 24hours of having them done.

Looking back i got mine done for the wrong reasons, my husband at the time wanted them doing so i didn't have alot of choice in the matter.

But that said i've never had any real reason to regret it, they don't look/feel natural really mostly because im quite small and they are quite big haha but if they needed replacing for what ever reason, i would replace rather than remove if i could afford it but i may go down a cup size of two as finding 28FF bras is a royal pain in the !!!.

I haven't had one as I don't like them, but my colleague has just had a consultation about having a boob job (she is completely flat-chested) and has now changed her mind. What put her off is that the surgeon said that she needs to think about the fact that implants do not last a lifetime. She is 20 and he said she may end up having to have at least 2 replacements in her lifetime. The thought of having that cost and going through that risk more than once has put her off. If you are thinking of having it done make sure you speak to the surgeon not just the sales rep on the front desk.

As a busty girl I really don't understand why women want bigger boobies. It's hard to get clothes to fit, playing sports is a pain and men just treat you like you are a pair of tits rather than a person.

As a teeny girl in AAs, I can assure you that tops don't look sexy, padded bras day in day out are too hot, sports bras don't come small enough, and men don't look at you twice :p

But I wouldn't have mine done ;)

[skypie123]

I had mine done in Prague last March and it cost just a little over £2k and that was with pre op tests, which included blood tests and ultrsound and a weeks stay in a gorgeous apartment. I would go there again if I needed anything as the care I recieved was first class and I'm over the moon with the results. (I went from 32AA to 32E with 305cc)
hope this helps

If you are busty then you wouldnt need it doing anyway, whether you like them or not. IMHO women who are blessed with boobs already never understand why women who had them and lost them through weightloss or having kids, or never had them in the first place, would want them. But we do, for many reasons. And not all boob jobs are obvious (we dont all look like tacky page 3 girls you know!)I had mine done under the muscle and it wasnt as painful as you would think and unless I told you I'd had them done you would never know as I now look in proportion and they feel and look very natural.
My surgeon said unless there was a problem they wont need replacing, if it isnt broke don't fix it.
And the one thing you wrote that I agree with is speak to the surgeon who is going to operate on you, not some sales person.
And REALLY do your research. There are a number of forums to research on, the one I go on is lookyourbest but there are others.

If a padded bra makes you feel too hot, then having large breasts would be a great deal worse. ;)

Prices in Prague tend to be set against the Euro, so the cost is likely to be quite a bit more now.

[misspointy]

Ive had two breast augmentations done now.....first pair of boobies were in for 4 years then I had then removed as they got banned (they were trilucent) then second set I have had now for about 8 years. They look great but I think thats because I had them done after having the children so there was plenty of room for filling out the breasts.
Some people are making the mistake of having them put in far too large and then they look ridiculous. There was one girl in hospital when I went who had implants and they looked awful and she hated them!! They looked like a couple of oranges pinned to her chest.

My first ones cost £3600 and the second lot were free!

[BelindaLee]

Thanks all to share your opinion with me. i have also get information by search on Google and related breast augmentations forum. I like salloumplasticsurgery.com for breast augmentations surgery because the surgeon double board certified by the American Boars of surgery and the American Board of plastic surgery.

[sammyjammy]

Another excellent board for help and support is breasthealthonline, if you want picture access you'll need to get a letter from a surgeon but its great for info both good and bad.

Do your research, see your GP and get a referral to a cosmetic surgery clinic and ask lots and lots of questions! As someone else has already mentioned, there are plenty of forums out there - sign up to a few and see which ones you get on with best, UK ones are more informative for you than US ones, imo.

I paid £4,500 for mine just under 5 years ago. I hated them at first, they look very unnatural when they're first done and they do take a while to settle. It was very painful when I first woke up, and I spent a week being very careful, not picking anything heavy up and being very protective of my chest. Sleeping is a little difficult and you need to wear a sports bra all the time for a couple of months. Now, I'm happy with them and they look (almost) natural, from 32A to 32E (but I have gained weight since too!).

[prowla]

If it's simply for cosmetic purposes, please don't do it!
Seeing a woman with a pair of balloons stuck down her t-shirt is really unattractive.
And what about scars?

[Taye]

You paid for FF cup sized breasts on a 28inch bust :confused:? I'm really intrigued as to what your previous cup size was as it sounds like you went from normal to porn star sized. Sorry to hear that your husband pressurised you.

i got the implant's when i was significantly larger than i am now i was a 36inch back when i got them, and they took me to a D cup.. but since getting rid of the ex i've lost weight (2 stone) which took my back down to a 28in back ... and the smaller your back go's the larger the cup go's because obviously the boobs where the one part of me that didn't shrink with the rest of me. :rotfl:

I don't look like a porn star tbh "fake" boobs are just a totally different shape to real ones so they need a larger bra to go in, most people i tell about it are amazed i need a FF bra i look like about a DD which isn't hugely out of proportion... yes i have big boobs but i don't look totally stupid or out of whack alot of people don't even realise they are fake.

As for scar's my scar's are almost invisable they are right under the crease and about 1 inch long, you can only see them if you are looking for them, again most people who see the scar's are really impressed with how small and neat they are.

I get changed in the gym all the time so im naked with other women, just the other day one of the lady's asked "what exercise" did i do to get my boobs to look like this (i'm quite muscular for a woman anyway) i sort of laughed and said they where fake ... which of course started a changing room wide conversation about my boobs :rotfl::rotfl: over half the women said they would never have guessed they where fake, the other half suspected because of how slim i was but thought they looked great but where to embarressed to ask me about them.

I found it quite funny because im quite slim with very little fat on me and boobs "are fat" so the slimmer you are generally the more they shrink and i've never seen a sub 15% body fat woman with boobs naturally bigger than about a B or C cup so how on earth anyone would imagine mine are real is beyond me.

tbh i like the size i just don't like bra shopping i can play them up or down depending on my mood, obviously i play them down for work as i work in a proffessional office and they've never caused me issues because of thier size.

Ha! I'm not sure that is true about men. For a start all the sexiest women polls are full of as many fried egg women as melon women. Also a lot of men hate big boobs. I have found that a surprising number of men feel the need to tell me that! At best they make comments like "more than a handful is a waste" and "small boobs don't sag with age" and at worst I have been told that big boobs are "disgusting" and "look like udders"! BTW, these were not boyfriends saying these things, but work colleagues/friends boyfriends etc. Men are so lucky us women don't feel the need to pick apart their bodies like this.

I did used to be an A cup actually (in my teens and early twenties I was a wee bit underweight & wasn't on the pill). Then I put some weight on and went on the pill and the !!!!!!s inflated big time! Mind you, not as bad as a friend of mine who went on the pill and went from an A to an E! I would honestly and truly love to go back to being an A cup. I didn't have sore strap marks where my bra was valiantly trying to hold the weight up and I didn't get heat rash in summer. It wasn't a nightmare trying to play sports. And if I wanted to look saucy I would just stick on a padded push-up bra and low-cut dress. But if I didn't want to have idiotic men gawping at me I could just hide them. I hate my boobs most at work. It's a nightmare trying to find suits that are cut to accommodate them and I feel that some male colleagues don't really take me seriously.

BTW, I do agree with your other point re: breast implants can look nice and natural. I think there are unfortunately a lot of women walking around with bad boob jobs and those ones tend to stay in your mind!

A friend once said to me that it's the bad boob jobs you remeber because they LOOK like boob jobs, the good ones you don't remeber because you never realise the girls had one.

[Pam17]

I am happy with the size of mine but they are uneven and would consider surgery to match them up a bit more.
However I've seen on TV that sometimes the nipple has to be moved and I would worry about lose of sensation :o:o:o:o:o. Does anyone know if this happens?

[AceCobra1]

I think you usually have two. :p;):D

I didn't know Toothsmith is an old and dirty dentist too! :A Just make sure ur patients don't know who u are :beer::beer:

[PolishBigSpender]

How much does a breast augmentation cost? Have you had one and are you pleased with it.

Before you do anything as drastic as that, try getting properly measured and buying a "perfect" bra. Sometimes a soft bra can augment your breast better than a padded one - you might be suprised! Try one of the specialist shops that offer the bra fitting services, like Bravissimo http://www.bravissimo.com/

Thanks for sharing your experience with me. I am very glad to here

I paid £1500 for mine last November. I went to Belgium and with flights and hotel for me and my partner for 3 days including food was a little over £2000.
If your completely sure about going for it, I would maybe look into abroad. The private hospital I went too was more like a 5 start hotel, marble floors, impecably clean, it made me feel really confident about it, much better than some of the hospitals in the UK.

Most surgeons will go through the nipple for a standard breast augmentation, like mine. The scars are absolutley tiny and hardly visable even now less than a year later. I was also up and moving about properly with in 3 days, driving back and work and everything.

They also used the implants designed for recontructive surgery, which are meant to last indefinately aslong as there taken care of. The Surgeon said there was no reason to replace them ever unless I wanted them changed.

Overall very happy.

My surgery didn't involve removing the whole thing, but they went through the nipple. Sensation loss is definately a possibility, its happened with me, but it gradually comes back over time. There's still a few areas that are less sensitive, but its not a huge problem, it doesn't feel strange or anything

A friend paid £4000 to have it done by a cosmetic surgeon in Birmingham. He was rated on the Cosmetic Surgery Forums UK. (http://www.cosmeticsurgeryforums.co.uk)She is well pleased and her husband too. :beer:
