    hi al!

    I'm looking for some info off somebody who's had a boob job and can tell me about their experience! I've been doing a lot of research on the subject and I'm sure it's what I want as Im completely flat and to be honest it does affect my confidence.

    I'm relatively young and wonder how mnuch do the implants change with pregnancy as I plan on having kids in a couple of years?

    can you recommend a good clinic? I was looking into going abroad but i think it's best to stay at home for after care but I was also considering going up north as it seems cheaper there.

    Is the healing as sore as they say it is???

    How long were you out of work for?

    That's all I can think of at the min! sorry about all the questions but trying to gather as much info as I can!!!

    I *think* there was a thread or two on this in the past so if you search the forum for breast augmentation or breast enlargement you might get some results.

    Best of luck.

    I take herbs and have gone up a cup size in 1 1/2 months and even though i lost weight i have still kept them!! Just letting you know there are less risky alternatives. There are phyoestrogen herbs i took such as flax seed, maca, goats rue, fennel, blessed thistle and fenugreek.

    Addicted to Boob Jobs is on 3e now...

    Oh ever heard of Macrolane filler? It's temporary (18 months) and boosts by up to 2 cup sizes.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 206 ✭✭Pebbles!

    I think it would be worth it to try and see if you like it before you decide on having a permanent fix. No surgery or scars or anaesthetic.

    You know the pill makes your breasts grow? Well if it's oestrogen it's temporary and they come down, but if it's progesterone only (implanon, depo provera) they stay big even when you come off it. Just watch out for weight gain if you go this route.

    Hi .. I had a boob job last year and Im so happy with the results. I must be honest the first week I was in a lot of pain.. but it quickly began to subsite. I chose to go to Poland for the surgery and it was the best decision I made. The staff were fantastic and the after care was excellent.I stayed in the clinc over night and I then spent the remaniding week in a hotel and I vistied the clinic to meet with the surgon every day for the week. I was under the knife so to speak for an hour so it wasnt too long.. and the name of the clinic I went to is BeautyHoilday you can find everything you need to know on their website BeautyHoilday.com best of luck xxx

    Do you really need a boob job? i was a 32 A from age 12 - 18 after my first baby i went to a 34 B, same after my second baby and after the 3rd baby a 36c.

    some fellas would be put off by fake boobs were as others love them, you dont want someone comming up to you and chatting you up just because you have big boobs.

    If a guy likes you it shouldn't matter how big your boobs are!!!!!!

    Im not getting it done to attract to male atttract...it's something I want to do for myself. I would never change my body for that reason, Plus I have a boyfriend and he'l stand by me whatever I decide to do. He doesn't particulary like them but he knows its something that has affected my confidence. I totally agree a fella should like you for who you are but as i've said I'm not getting it done to please anybody else.

    I must say I am very annoyed reading your post.. the vast majority of women including myself that chose to have a breast enlargment to acheive larger breasts do not do it for men they do it for them. Having a breast enlargment for me personally has made me a lot happier with my figure and my looks.. now dont get me wrong I loved how I looked before but I even happier since the surgery.. I am in a loving realtionship and my bf completely respects my choice.. as I did it for me not to go and impress some man. My attitude is firmly if someone wants to be with me they must accept that this is how I look and if the cant then thats their problem.. but i am sick and tired to the stigma attached to having a breast enlargment people assume you do it to impress and get noticed by men or to become a glamour model.. its the 21st... if women want larger breasts they should not be critisised for making that choice..

    couldnt agree more with you.....
    most women do it so they feel better about themselves....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,128 ✭✭✭cynder


    I dont mean and didnt mean to insult you.


    I was just wondering what confidence are you going to be given with a bigger chest?


    Best of luck with the op when you decide to have it.

    Just a friendly warning - herbal supplements are not without side effects simply because they are "all natural"

    In fact that is a whopper of a lie that the "natural remedies" industry peddles.



    Your body does not care where a molecule comes from - if it was made in a lab or in a tree. All that matters is what your body does with it.

    And taking hormones, regardless of their source, is not something that should be done without the advice of a doctor with considerations for safety and dosage.



    I would be concerned about the potential for increased risk of breast and reproductive organ cancers when it comes to these "herbal" breast augmenters.


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 60,319 Mod ✭✭✭✭Wibbs


    +1000. There is a notion about that "natural" or "herbal" is risk free. Often pushed by the hippie crowd backed up by companies pushing their wares. "Oh they're not chemical you know". Eh yep. They are. Deadly nightshade is a natural herb that will kill you stone dead.

    I would also agree with Xiney re long term side effects. Any herbal mixture/chemical cocktail that will systemically affect you to the point where breasts enlarge, will have other effects. Hey some may be good, in the same way the pill increases risks of some illnesses and decreases risks in others.

    Buyer beware I'd be thinking.

    Many worry about Artificial Intelligence. I worry far more about Organic Idiocy.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,085 ✭✭✭Xiney


    Actually, on the topic of deadly nightshade, it's also known as "belladonna", ie, Beautiful Woman in Italian.

    This is because in historical Italy, women used to put it into their eyes in order to dilate their pupils, which was considered to make them appear more beautiful.

    They'd go blind from prolonged use.



    Totally natural product though! ;)

    apparently you don't however i am still taking them so will have to let you know when i finish.

    i'm a pear shape when i gain weight it is mostly in my thighs and bum. Yes i have been looking for ways to get bigger boobs since i was 18 and realized that they wouldn't be growing any bigger!!

    i take 2 in the morning and two in the evening. I read in flat2fab ebook (my friend gave me her copy for free) that you should take the herbs 1-3months then for month 4 have a herb free break where you do a mini detox so your body doesn't get desensitized to them.
    Ps i signed up for flat2fab emails for free and she sends you alot of useful tips for natural breast enhancement.

    Also i've read up alot about all the things you can do to help such as
    1) doing cardio helps the hormones circulate
    2) caffeine can hinder results so i barely drink any
    3) refined sugars- white bread,pasta,sweets are bad for NBE
    4) chest exercises can help appearance of area
    5) massaging them is a really great way of helping them to grow

    thats true about the side effects, i should also say what side effects i've had

    -bigger appetite
    -higher sex drive-i get wetter easier and have sexual thoughts more
    -clearer skin
    -bloated stomach
    -pain/tenderness in boobs
    -less painful period
    -more regular bms

    this makes perfect sense.. the idea of the herbs is nearly trick your body into simulating parts of puberty... to encourage breast growth... when your breasts first start to grow...

    the above are symptoms of puberty .....

    Where id you get the pills and how much are they?
    Do you mind me asking what your bra size was before and what it is now?
    And would you rec. them to someone like me looking to improve their proportions?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 670 ✭✭✭serenacat

    i sent you a private message hun
    34b-34D I keep track of my weight and measurements my weight has not changed really i went up 2lbs then lost 4lbs

    Another girl on line got some breakouts from the pills but after 1 week or so they have cleared up

    i would recommend them because the seller is a woman who takes them herself and has before and after photos so if you are going to take any brand these are good. Also there is a 90 day money back garantee. She has photos on her page

    However to save money you could possibly buy some of the ingredient separately if you dont mind taking alot of pills throughout the day.

    I bought them online and they got shipped from america here is the site http://www.sirensofhollywood.com/ they are about 90 euro for 3 months it is cheaper to buy more. Cheap compared to surgery but still dear enough so an alternative would be to try and buy some herbs on ebay separately and you may save money this way and get more potency. It is from america so it is about 20 euro shipping so altogether 110 euro

    i've tried quite a few that i might as well mention that didn't work -breast sculptor for 6 months (bought on ebay), top up 2months, volutoa only for 1 month as it is too expensive!, also tried just buying fenugreek,maca, alfafa, blessed thistle, dong quoi, saw palmetto and wild yam and tried both massaging fenugreek and wild yam and taking these!
    I've actually tried alot of things. That said even though these mostly gave me little more than horniness they may work for you so can't knock them that much!

    I'm nearing 3 months on Girls love curves so am going to take a break from them for 1 month so i don't plateau and then reasess my financies. i may have a look to see how much the main ingredients will cost me and compare

    What, if any, is the cancer risk of phytoeostregens - I would be worried about taking anything that would artificially cause breast tissue to 'grow'


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,085 ✭✭✭Xiney


    The studies aren't conclusive.

    This is why I'll continue to eat soy products (which contain lots of phytoestrogens) in moderation - but you wouldn't catch me taking phytoestrogens on purpose.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 183 ✭✭smoggy11


    I have the implanon inserted and my boobs have grown a lot from it.

    I went from a small 34C to a 34DD. Found that out today, i've been wearing the wrong bra for the last year :o but my weight has more or less stayed the same.

    If it does last permanently as another poster said I'll be well pleased though!

    I hope the stigma of having a boob job never goes away, especially within the medical proffesion.
    I think its woefully unethical for doctors to allow healthy young women to be cut open and have stuff inserted inside them to get a confidence boost. I think when empowerment has to come through a surgeons blade its a very sick society we live in and I hope for future generations of women and girls that breast augmentation never is without stigma.

    I appreciate that you have your opinions and I have mine,I most certainly will be telling my daughters that confidence and positive body image comes from within and cannot be brought in a plastic surgery clinic.
    What, if any, is the cancer risk of phytoeostregens - I would be worried about taking anything that would artificially cause breast tissue to 'grow'

    Increased cancer risk with implants as well, as lumps are much more difficult to detect when you have silicone in your chest.

    Haha, I have to say I'm thrilled! I've had it in for 6 months, but I was on depo before that. The size increase has happened in the last 6 months.

    No side effects. I only started having a period last month. Its not for everyone, but I would strongly recommend giving depo a try!
