I had the surgery yesterday I had no pain at all, just went to sleep and woke up an hour later, and there they were. I've had painkillers but really there is no discomfort. They just feel a bit tight, but they've already started to soften up. Once they "drop", they'll look and feel natural. My surgeon told me they'll be soft after about a month, they'll 'drop' after 9-12 months, at which point they'll be like natural boobs.
The size is a bit smaller than I imagined, but it's more natural. Can't wait to go and get new bras. No idea what size I am!

That's great! I'm really happy for you. So are you going to hide it or not?

I'm hiding it. I don't think it's obvious, unless I wear something revealing.
Thing is, I'm worried about the gossiping. I've told my best friend who's coming to visit in a while, and she says my sister will kill me for not telling her. I said the reason is I'm worried about her telling everyone, and she said "well wait a bit with telling her, she's going to tell everyone anyway".
I really hate that people seem to accept that some people are gossipy. My sister is the kind who needs to share everything, she can't help but blabber. And I don't think it's okay, it's something she should work on. But not on MY potential expense. She will tell her best friend, I am confident. So I'll see how it goes... I'll hide it for as long as I can.

Yh you should hide it. If she can't respect your privacy and decision then she lost her right to know imo.

Congratulations!
As long as you're happy then your family should support you. If your sister is more upset at the fact that she was not told instead of supporting in your decision than it's clear that your initial decision was correct. If she then goes on to do what you didn't want her do then you have every right to not tell her.

Tell her when you feel ready

Even if you do get them done; they'll never ever be as attractive as real big boobs.

Lol. I frequently see real big boobs in the breast feeding clinic I help in, I can assure you, fake big boobs look better than real big boobs. Most real breasts that appear large in clothing leave a lot to be desired when the bra is removed. Well done boob jobs look good although if you're only seeing them in porn you're not going to see the typical result of a boob job. Let's not pretend you've seen enough in real life to make an accurate comparison, few men have.

This is probably going to be a rather unpopular opinion but after seeing about 20 pairs of boobs a week for a year I think I have grounds to comment.

Nor is there anything attractive about an insecure girl who vandalises herself because she isn't getting enough of her 'required' daily dose of penis.

ouch, you don't hold back.

i don't know how i feel about surgery like this, i think reshaping is better and safer than adding something like silicon into your body. its your life but i know someone who had it done and they always wonder if their bf's are with them for the boobs or personality so i dont thunk getting them will rid you of insecurity.

So, as some may have seen in another thread, I'm getting my breasts done. As a pear shaped size 8 with small B cup breasts I am sick of feeling out of proportion (as well as constantly feeling that sizeable breasts is "required" to qualify for a "hot body". I am in shape, have long legs, small waist etc., but I still see that large breasts on a slim frame is what seems to matter, and qualify for a body to be top notch. I see girls with average figures but big boobs qualify as "hot" and I've even heard guys say that a girl won't be a 9 or a 10 if her breasts are small (even some don't admit it, but I see it's often the case). I have a very "cute" appearance, but feel like the breasts make me remain a teenager in appearance.
I am not getting watermelons - I'm getting a size 325 g, which will make me a full C cup (perhaps a small D, depending on the lingerie brand).

I really have told as few people as possible. I told my American friend who lives in France, my best friend in Copenhagen and a friend in the UK who's going with me.
The result will not look fake (I have a bit of breast tissue, and as mentioned, a butt and hips). I am guessing it will only be obvious to those who know my body and sees it often, if they would see me in a bikini. I know a girl who went from a B to a C, and her mother didn't realize until she told her.
I am not telling my parents (they don't need to know), the problem is my sister. We are very close (I'm 22, she's 27), although lately we've been more "apart" (she's trying to start a new stage in her life, change social circles etc, so she's seemed happy not being much in touch with family lately). She lives back home and we see each other holidays plus trips in between - she's probably coming to London in the end of summer.
Thing is - she is SO gossipy. She cannot keep a secret and she needs to "discuss" everything with everyone. Even if I made her promise not to go around telling people, I am confident she'll tell her best friend and possibly the guy she's seeing (her best friend is crazy gossipy as well, so after that, the info is spread). When I lost my virginity at 17 (to a German guy not in our social circle), I wanted to keep it private, yet she told everyone.

I don't want to say anything before the surgery (it's on Wednesday), because IF she'll have a negative reaction, it'll only be stressful for me, and I'm obviously already nervous about the surgery. I have paid and booked, and I'm ot changing my mind.
I'm 22, so an adult, I live on my own abroad and really I know it's nobody's business. But there is a chance she'll be negative and there is a chance she'll be even angrier when she realizes I've hidden it.
Should I aim to tell her - and if so, how? Can I just wait till she comes to visit me, greet her in the hall with a low cut top and go "ta-dah!"?
How would you feel if your sister (granted she's old enough), did this?

i was watching a naughty video and the girl in it had a perfect body, gorgeous face, amazing eyes and a nice personality (as far as i could tell). she had small/non existent breasts. maybe a 30AA or something. and that didnt stop her from being a 9 out of 10 imo! she was so sexy. big breasts are only an addition which help make up for girls who are lacking in other aesthetic aspects of themselves. guys wont care AT ALL if you're small if you have other good features.
one of the most popular girls with guys in my school years ago was a 32A!

Congratulations! Glad it went well I don't think you could hide it because you shouldn't feel embarrassed about it. You should be proud of them. Your sister might get a bit of a shock/surprise when you show her but when you see her for the first time don't just open the door with them on display! Just wear a normal top and tell her when you are having a coffee or something. You shouldn't be worried about her telling everyone because it's not something you should feel like you need to hide! Plus everybody will find out eventually, and it will just reflect badl on you if you have been trying to hide it. People might think you were embarrassed about it or self-concious. So it's better to be open from the start

The "daily dose of penis" was so childish I didn't bother responding to him.
I'm not going in on the debate regarding real vs fake big boobs - I don't have naturally big boobs. If I did, why would I change them? It's like telling a guy, "you may improve your personality and take care of yourself, but you're short and will never be able to compete with a tall guy". What is he going to do about it? But obviously that would be discriminating to say, we cannot put down men, now can we..
I didn't start the thread to hear men's opinions on the subject. It was irrelevant to my decision. Besides, the only relevant opinion would from guys who have been dating or in several relationships with girls with implants, which most guys on TSR have not - their only reference point are online photos of TOWIE girls, which has nothing to do with my breasts.

Of course the reality is that most guys you would actually care about being a relationship with wouldn't turn you down because you have smaller boobs. Hell quite a lot of guys actually prefer them. And even people like myself who prefer larger ones, we don't really care that much.

You could always say you went on (or changed the type of) the pill, if you don't want her to tell people you had an operation?

Whilst I don't think the size is the be all and end all, rather the shape, good on you for doing something that you think will improve your looks. A lot of people, especially in Britain, are very against plastic surgery and have all these awful opinions. I don't see a problem with it in moderation.

I'm curious, how are you feeling now? Did you get anatomical or round implants?

I got round ones. I thought about teardrop for the natural look, but my natural breasts are already quite teardrop in shape and they would possible have all the volume on the bottom. Also round implants reduces the risk of a gap between the breasts, which was what I was afraid of (Victoria Beckham style). My surgeon usually do "natural" boob jobs and really wanted it to look modest, and it was what he recommended. I could possibly have gone a bit bigger, but I have a slim figure and small waist (my upper body is thin) and I didn't want to get that extreme 'side-boob'.
I know several girls who's had them done (actually girls from back home whom are the opposite of tacky) - and I never knew until a friend told me. One increased from A to B, another from C to D. I think there might be cultural differences here, maybe in Britain it is very much a "reality star" thing to do?
Back home there are obviously a lot of glamour models who do it, but some of the best-looking, elegant women have done it too, just modestly.
I got plenty of male attention from before, and then men I've dated in the past obviously liked my body (otherwise they wouldn't have dated me). It was something I wanted to do for me - I feel more in proportion now.

True, but I think it's a very sudden increase for the pill?

Problem is, I'm on holiday, and I want to add photos but on the ones I got there is a little bit of 'sideboob' and I think if my sister sees it, she can totally tell! I don't think you can hide single photos from particulars, only entire albums.

[SH04AB]

Gees, it's not as if your adopting a child or anything. My sister and I are extremely close. I'm in the UK and shes in the US. I'm 18 and she's 24. She also had a boob job when she was 22 after having a child and told me several months after having it done. No biggie. It's her body, therefore, her decision. She's the one that paid for it, not me, so my opinion is..."who cares?". Crack on
