As a mother a 10 year old daughter, I am discouraged with the idea that is presented in this show. The idea that an A cup is abnormal & women shouldn’t feel whole because of they are not larger. I empathize with this young woman, I have struggled with the same thing, but over time, as I’ve matured and my focusses have been on more important things, the embarassment fades, the shame turns to acceptance.

I am also disappointed in the fact that none of the doctors ever encouraged acceptance… like we are freaks that need to be fixed. When this girl has her own daughter, how can she encourage her daughter when she couldn’t love herself. Please women, beauty, social acceptance and self worth is not dependent on breast size.

Quite honestly I totally understand where this young lady is comming from. However, even though I too have ALWAYS wanted impants, I felt that it was more important for me to breast feed my children first…. I did that… Now I wait for the day that I too can have implants!

I still don’t understand why small breasts are considered a defect that needs to be fixed. Be proud of who you are – that’s the best message you can send to your children.

I watched this show and it was as if she was talking about my life. I am also 21 and I have been made fun of through my adolescnt years and still to this day, eventhough you laugh when people talk about your small breast size inside you are self destructing from years of negative remarks. I am a mother of a 17 month old son and before I had him I was wearing a 34 A after his birth I now wear a 32 A and that is still too big. Just because women with small chests live with it everyday doesn’t mean we truly accept it. My sympathy is with her 100%. Her story hit as close to home as it could get for me. I was in absolute amazement when Dr.Ordon offered to do the surgery for her…something much deserved.It’s not about wanting your chest to be noticed it’s about feeling good about yourself what others think is not the issue. You are the one that has to live with yourself and dealing with all the negativity that is broadcasted on the television, the internet, magazines and many other forms of the media makes it hard to accept what you were given. If people didn’t look down on small breast than people like us would not be turned away from modelling agencies due to our chest size, they would not make inserts which I use two in each of my bras am I ashamed absolutely but I also dont want to feel like a child who hasn’t hit puberty either. Breast implants for women with small breasts are to make us feel whole and if people could afford then they would have them. It took a lot of strength I am sure for her to tell her story when millions of viewers will hear it, I was in tears while she was explaining the story. I give her alot of credit it’s not easy to stand in front of numerous people and talk about something that intrusive. Absolutely one of my favourite shows yet!!!!

to all the women posting and reading I for one consider small breasts beautiful and prefer an a cup I have always felt this way.you dont need big breasts to be confident if you have selfestiem issues bigger breasts wont solve it. my X girlfriend had the procedure done and she regrets it.it diddent cure her insecurities and they feel grose

All of the females who have been made to feel unworthy or whatever because of their breast size - please, consider why you feel that way, who made you feel that way and why.  THEN consider that those bozo’s have no idea of why breasts are put there…and only on women.  I don’t believe our maker had in mind that we would ever put such importance on the sexual aspects of breasts!  That ain’t why they’re there!!!  People need to learn to accept themselves and stop putting so much emphasis on celebrities and stop trying to look like hollywood glamour girls.  Reality will step in before you know it and you won’t be turning back the clock unless you have a lot of money and care for constant fixing and repairing to give yourself your ideal appearance.  Let me tell you – there will come a day when all that is simply not fixable!

I appreciate the sound medical advice that this show provides and I suppose cosmetic proceedures need to be demystified as well, but I, like some of the women commenting, feel that a medical show should not be setting beauty standards. Every other show on TV is doing that. I find the doctors are very quick to talk about side effects of many proceedures, but plastic surgery—and there are some real dangers and unpredictable results—doesn’t seem to warrant the same amount of discussion of bad side effects. No one ever talks about the cost or the pain. It’s funny when you think people are walking around with some serious medical issues that get brushed aside from doctors. But wanting bigger breasts—just come on down with your cheque! Enough already. Let’s talk about health, physical and emotional. I am not discouraging anyone from changing their bodies but I just think I shouldn’t be glamourized as much as it is.

I’m a 36 yr old woman. I was in a training bra until the age of 25. I was made fun of but I blew it off. I knew that larger breasts would not make me a better person and the only extra attraction it would’ve given me was from guys that wanted to use me as an object. because if breasts were really all I needed then the attraction wouldn’t have been about me it would’ve been about my breasts. Then my breasts grew for a whole year and I am now between a C and a D cup. from what I understand women do not finish finish their puberty cycle until they are in their mid to upper twenties. I know that is not the case for everyone but the women in my family and women I’ve grown up with had similar effects. Honestly, I miss my smaller breasts. I can’t carry as many things because my breasts get in the way. Even playing pool is different now. I"ve had to adjust the way I shoot pool, play tennis and almost every sport I participate in. I can’t believe that the doctors on this show act like this is ok to have women that haven’t finished their puberty cycle to get breast implants. There is way too much unneeded cosmetic surgery on this show which is driving me and alot of my friends away from watching it. Some cosmetic surgery like the girl with the tumor is absolutely necessary! that wasn’t just cosmetic. I feel the the doctors on this show reinforce the sexist male notion that women have to look a certain size and be a certain way. I find it really sad that this program starting out with the wonderful opportunity change the way people think about the way they look and self perception and it seems they’re only feeding the fire. It would be really great if they would use this influence they have to help people and help society make a positive change for people, especially women and take that barbie doll notion pressure off. WOMEN ARE BEAUTIFUL IN ALL SHAPES AND SIZES. Please stop feeding the minds of all men and women young and old to think that they need to look a certain way. This show could be wonderful but sadly I see it’s only adding to the pressure that most women feel both consciously and unconsciously about the way they look and feel. I thought the idea of this show was wonderful but most of the things we see on this show are about plastic surgery for mostly women that are beautiful just the way they are. Get them some therapy instead on how to love themselves and not put themselves through the self hatred because they don’t look the way society has fed them they should. I wish you’d just get rid of the unneeded cosmetic surgery aspect and bring on, permenantly, a psychologist who can teach some of these doctors about the psyche. Remember that this girl on the show today is only 21… she is not finished with her puberty cycle yet and yet they are advocating a possibly unneeded procedure and making it seem like a sweet wonderful “honor” to help her. Why not let her natural hormonal developement cycle finish before you even advocate or consider this. This makes me sick.

I am appalled that they are promoting breast implants on this show…He didnt explain the things that can go horribly wrong with this procedure…
I cant begin to say how many Moms have had problems breastfeeding after this procedure and how many women have complained about leaking all during their pregnancy due to Drs messing with the plumbing so they would have nice big fake breasts in the years when they werent considering pregnancy..
Ladies….think of ALL the consequences!!

I feel this girls pain!! I felt like I was watching myself talk. I know how she feels to have rhymes made up about her. I’ve been designated president of the “itty bitty titty committee”. I thought the doctors did a fantastic job on giving her options. I’m 22, and I feel like there is hope out there for us smaller chested women. And that people are there to support and give answers.

I hated that i missed the episodes but i really wanted to see what they were talking about. I found a website which people claimed it worked naturally. My thing is it safe?

I think it was good to have it on the show because so many people want to have this surgery and are curious about it. I wouldent say they were promoting bigger breasts because Dr.Orden wanted her to go to the B cup, which really isnt even that big. Most girls are an A or B cup anyways. I always wanted implants and had it done over a year ago. I know lots of other people who had it done as well, and every one thinks the same thing as I did, Once you have big breasts, you realize that it really does make a difference that much in appearence and good guys really dont care about them, and we all think we went too small. The statistics say 90% of the women feel they should have went bigger.

It is also soooooo painful. OMG, I cant even describe the pain !! I dont know how people say it doesnt hurt that much. I had multiple jaw surgerys and it was soo much more painful. I couldent move or wash my hair for a weeks!! I was in so much pain my face was covered in sweat and I felt nausea and feverish all the time so I sat and slept in a chair in my cool basement for almost 2 weeks. One night I slouched down in my chair while sleeping and I couldent get up because it was too painful and we had to call an ambulance.

SaraW should be on the show talking about her pain….they alway make implants sound like a facial or getting your ears pierced when it’s not. Although I wasn’t quite sure about your comment—did you say you were happy with the change in your appearance or were you disappointed? Just curious.

I am happy but not as happy and confident as I expected to be, its not worth the $10,000. I paid a bit more to get the cohesive gel that Dr.Orden showed last, they are approved in Canada, not the US yet. My boyfriend doesnt like implants any better. They dont feel real at all. A good bra could have done the same thing. Everyone I know that has them done agrees on how very painful it is and that it doesnt give any more confidence.

There is a surprisingly high chance that the scar tissue that forms around the implant stays hard and the implants must both be removed at the cost of the patient. Its called capsular contracture.

For anyone thats interested in this surgery, I am also going to mention the tubes that I was unaware of until waking up with them after surgery. One tube comes out each breast through a small incision. They lead into a bag that collects any blood. After a few days you go back to get them taken out. By then the skin has grown on the tubes and the surgeon pulls them out one at a time. ouch! I think a week recovery is an understatement. I personally begged to get admitted to the hospital because it hurt so much. It was 3weeks before I could move my left arm. I still get a pinching pain in my left breast if I lay on it or wear a tight bra. The surgical bra was so tight it would cut into my back and start bleeding.
Trust me, you will need someone with you for the first week, I couldent even pick up a water bottle to take a drink. Have the person picking you up drive the vehicle that will feel the bumps in the road the least, they are not fun.
Investing in a nice recliner would be good to prevent all the muscle sores of a regular chair or couch. Oh and dont try to put on any clothles that dont button up the front, its much harder to get them off, I had to cut a nice shirt in half with scissors to get it off.

to the person who commented about how a young women who have implants prior to childbirth experience complications with their breast leaking during pregnancy let me tell you prior to pregnancy i was a really small a cup by 5 months pregnant i was a small c cup and began soaking through shirts in the night or anytime any pressure was applied.. it has nothing to do with the implants but everything to do with being pregnant… I personally made the choice to wait until i was done having kids becuase i was aware of the complications that are caused by the surgury.. Now ive had 2 kids. Breast fed my oldest for 2 1/2 yrs and could only breast feed my youngest for a month due to complications from my tubal ligation… Ive gone from an a cup to a small d cup twice!! My breast look like two old ballons that have lost their air and im only 28 years old. I look forward to the day when i can afford to reinflate them. ~Peace luv & dmb

Im new to this blogging, i was just checking out the old show topic and came across this one! I have to say that I had implants after my last child turned 5 and i LOVE it. like the 90% that wish theyd gone bigger, that would be me but i told the doctor i wanted to look “natural” so went a smaller size that he thought would be fitting for me. It boosted my confidence a million times over, and it was not a bit painfull! I was out of it the day i had it done from being on the drugs but after that day i was back to normal just had to take it easy for a week. My best friend had them done 4 days before i did and she felt the same way as me…LOVED that she did it, boosted her self-esteem and was not painfull for her as well. I think it was well worth the money. Everyone is different in thier pain tollerance and every doctor is different as well. For all my friends and family who had the proceedure done, they all are happy they did it and none of us were in pain. Do your homework, check out your doctor, what implants you want, to go under the muscle or over….we all have our oppinions and thats mine and my experience! I LOVE that i did it and they look and feel great!

I too can relate to this topic. I am 37 yrs old and not even an A cup!! I have been teased my entire life as a child and even now as an adult. It is very depressing and embarassing but I too just laugh along with everyone else. Inside it really hurts. My mom always told me I would feel different about it when I got older but that is so not the case. I too rarely take off my shirt and bra during intimacy. If I do I am sick to my stomach over it. I know people say it shouldn’t matter what size you are but reality is it does! Everything you watch on tv etc has something to do with breasts. My self esteme is so low I won’t go to the beach or watch movies with my husband. If he watches movies with nudity in them I won’t even have sex with him for weeks. Everyone in my family is at least a C cup. I have wanted them bigger for years and have tried lots of natural breast enhancement methods but they don’t work for me. I think implants will change my life.

I’m sorry Keeks, but you are just plain silly. I’m an A cup too and I’ve always been teased!!!Don’t get sick to your stomach about the way you look. If you are unhappy with the way you look that is one thing, but SICK, you shouldn’t be. It hurts so much when women bother me about my size….Two of my best friends are busty and I feel even stranger because I’m small. I sometimes wear a bra with a little padding and lately I have been very conscious about my posture. The change in posture has gotten me some compliments about my shape. I’ve even had guys give me compliments…I laughed at first, I thought they were being sarcastic but some men like smaller boobs. You shouldn’t feel shy when yo uare intimate with someone because a bust is only part of who you are. If you want implants, get them, but NOT because you don’t like yourself.

Hi keeks, it really saddens my heart to hear you say those things, but it was true for me as well. It was life changing for me as well, and i am thrilled that i got it done! I was in your same shoes although not SICK to my stomach but embarrased yes when i was intiment. I love who i am, and who God created me to be but it is a personal choice that only you can decide to do or not. I also tried 3 natural enhancement methods, pills and creams…they didnt do a thing for me as well. Like i said do your homework, check the Dr. out, how long they’ve been in the practice, they should have many recommendations etc… goodluck darling, and i wish you the best. Love who you are completley and it is then you will love yourself completley no matter how big, small, short or tall you are! :)

Thanks tjeers for your reply. I know I shouldn’t feel sick to my stomach and believe me I wish I didn’t. I hate feeling this way about myself. I tried doing the natural stuff first because I’m afraid of how fake they will look after surgery. Do you think they look fake?? Also do you loose any sensations you have??

Hi keeks, Like i said i wanted to go bigger but wanted to still look ‘natural’ so the doc recommended my size and its perfect!! They look natural, not like some of those girls look… like two round balls just plastered on them. They were swollen and it takes a yr. the doc says to get to what ‘normal’ size they will be but they have cleavage, they hang, just look natural. some do lose sensation while other remain the same and some become more sensitive, so it depends on what nerves are damaged during the proceedure. I went in thru my nipple so i wouldnt have any noticable scars on my breasts and i havent lost any sensation. I was worried about that because i like the breast fore-play so i was thrilled. I also went under the muscle but not sure if any of that matters in loosing sensation or not.

If anyone is still replying to this topic, I want to know if going in through the armpits is easier & less painful? I am a mom of 2 & I breastfed. They look deflated, but I don’t want to massacre the “girls”.

Hey there lovetheshow…. i went thru the nipple and you can hardley tell. The DR. shud be good enuf to outline your nipple as to not ‘massacre’ the girls!! I dont think either way is “less” painfull but my Dr. DID say that you do have a chance to loose some or all sensation to your breast by going thru the nipple, even tho i didnt lose any, they have to let you know theres that chance. Good luck…after nurseing my 3 mine looked rotten..LOL
