I was really hoping for some. I just wanted to sit in the back.. shut up and learn abit

Like does the doctor have samples up on the wall, to show the different sizes?

Does the price go up with the cup size. Is there a warranty on them?

And cleavage enhancer...what's that?, us guys know nothing about that kind of stuff

I swear, we won't say anything we will just sit back hear and shut up.. and learn a bit.

Well, the price doesn’t go up per cup size, you choose an implant and a certain range of implants ( between 200 and 500 cc ) is X amount of money for the implant. Then the surgeons fee, the consultation, the hospital fee and the anaesthetics + the fee of the anaesthesist are what makes up the whole price.
You also need a special bra for the first 6 weeks which adds to the cost.
A boob augmentation in Belgium is between 2500 and 4000€. A boob augmentation in the USA is between 5000 and 10000$. The price also depends on whether you choose saline implants which are silicone shells filled with salt water, or if you choose silicone filled silicone shells.

The technique varies as well. The surgeon can place the implant right under the glandular tissue of the boob without pulling up the muscle or he can place the implant under the muscle which makes for a harder recovery because the muscle is pulled up a bit. It depends on if the patient has enough pre-existing boob tissue from themselves. If the woman has enough boob tissue from herself but wants an augmentation, then the implant is placed under the glandular tissue of the boob. If the woman has poor amounts of pre-existing boob tissue then the implant is placed under the muscle to hide the ripples of the implant.
There is also a new technique called lipofilling. They harvest fat from other parts of your body and fill the boobs with that fat ( fat transplant ). A moderate cup increase of 1/2 a cup size is possible with this technique. It’s also very expensive and you need to return more than once because the transplanted fat is digested by the body for more than 30%. So you need multiple rounds. Can easily cost 10000$ for a half cup size increase.

Then there is a special technique for women who have gone through a boob cancer treatment and have had their boobs amputated. They harvest fat from the stomach to reconstruct a new boob pouch and fill it up with a silicone implant. That way the woman has naturally appearing boobs without the ripples of the implant being too visible.

Boob implants need to be changed every 15 years on average. They can leak, rupture or cause boob pain because capsular contracture can develop itself in the pouch of the boob. The boob tissue starts forming a capsule around the implant which can cause pain and infection. Sometimes that is a reason to take out or exchange the boob implant.

The process is slightly different for trans women than for cis women. Trans women need to be on hormone replacement therapy ( estrogen ) for more than 1 year. After 1 year most boob growth has been maxed out and if the trans woman is not satisfied with the size of the boobs then implants can be inserted. Trans women often have wider shoulders than cis women, causing a need for larger implants to make the body look proportional.
Trans women also in most cases never exceed a B cup and 85% never exceeds an A cup. Only 5% makes it to C cups or larger. I’m in those last 5 % because I started young enough ( I started at age 19 , am 22 now ) . Most trans women start in their late 30s, 40s and 50s. At that age hormones are less effective because your body doesn’t produce sufficient amounts of growth hormone anymore. So that’s why boob growth is subpar in these people who start at later ages.

Cis women have higher risks of boob cancer so this also influences their choice to decide on implants or not. A mammography is harder to interpret when the woman has boob implants.
The risk for boob cancer in trans women is very low. It’s higher than in cis men but lower than in cis women.
Trans men ( female-to-male ) have higher risks of boob cancer even after breast amputation, than trans women have but lower than the risk cis women run.
Boob cancer is genetically influenced. Hormones have less to do with it. Most women develop boob cancer in menopause ( between ages 40 and 69 ) when hormones are at their lowest. Fertile women with high estrogen levels in their 20s or 30s very rarely develop breast cancer when they are still fertile. This shows that female hormones, estrogen, have a protective effect on breast cancer despite what was believed for many years ( that they cause breast cancer ).

Boobs are fun but there is a whole area of science behind it. They are more than two round sexual objects.

Hope you found this informative :-)

Beats me but I don't think any woman is happy with the way she looks, so perhaps by changing her boob size (which she feels is the most feminine part of her) she thinks that would make her happier in herself and more appealing to the opposite sex. Maybe low self esteem has a lot to do with it too. I honestly don't know but that's just my take on it.

As for me, I'd be looking for a breast reduction!

But one thing that I never really understood was.. why?

Why do women get breast enlargements?

Is it to attract men? Do women gauge woman by the size of their breasts? or is it a sense that your body is somehow not conformed?

Because, I don't know about other guys, but the size of a woman's breasts doesn't mean too much to me. And I would not really like the idea of a plastic pouch under my mates skin.. like that. I think that would bother me a bit. Not in the sense of not being attracted to her anymore but in the sense of " why did you do that?"


So... why do women do that ?

When I had thought about it before, I had only considered getting small cups to go with the rest of my body. I didn't not want to get large ones, although they probably would have felt large to me.

I am close to a C-cup but they are still not proportional with my hips. I have had lots of hip bone growth on hormone therapy, but not enough boob growth to balance it out. I also want it to make my shoulders look less wide. My shoulders are in the wide range for a woman, because I have been through a testosterone-dominated puberty. This would make me feel more confident in my body. And that’s what matters to me. So that’s my main reason for this augmentation surgery plus the fact that trans women get boob augmentation refunded in Belgium. Health insurance pays for it.

The only problem I see OP, is that D is waaaaaaaay too big
on a person..your posture and back will suffer tremendously
with that big boob size. Experience is speaking here.

You are probably too young not to know that less is more,
that size will draw a huge amount of unwanted attention
which you say you do not seek.

Seriously, you can enhance a C cup but a D,
can topple you right over.

I don't understand it at all, you must love yourself.
