Oh my goodness!!! I am so sad after reading that!! I have implants and have 
had them since before I had a baby. If only I knew then when I know now I 
would never, never have gotten them. I talk to women I know who want to get 
them and tell them I don't mean to sound hypocritical but I don't recommend 
them. I get into the reasons for why, usually focusing on the physical look 
of the breasts and then on the effects of breastfeeding. Yes, they look 
GREAT for the first year or so---but then they are just like regular 
breasts---they sag, get stretch marks, etc. and to top all that off you can 
get rippling which becomes especially apparent after time when the implant 
kills off the breast tissue that you do have, you can feel the bag, so on 
and so forth. What women (my former self included) don't understand is the 
women on TV and in magazines are covered in body make-up, perfectly 
positioned, put in perfectly flattering lighting, and then airbrushed on top 
of it.

Really my breasts are no more or less perfect than they were pre-surgery 
(just bigger)  but I love them now more than ever because my daughter has 
nursed for 22 months and SHE loves them! I figure if becoming a mommy, 
learning to deal with all the body changes that pregnancy alone brings, and 
nursing can't make you love your body (breasts included) surgery sure as 
heck won't!!! ---Christina, LLLL, Broward County, FL
