Has anyone had breast implants done in Adelaide?

Hi, my 22 yr old daughter is looking at getting implants done. Sadly she has never developed hardly at all. I dont blame her looking into this but concerned if its safe etc. She is a uni student to cant afford too much. Can anyone tell me what dr they had and how much it cost?

I looked into it, for what was recommended for me, it was around 8,000.00 in 2011. I looked at a friend who had them, didn't much care for what I seen, and decided I'd live with what I had. Also, If I want to go bigger for a day or so, depending on how big, I have two pairs of forms that just rest in a bra. If I get tired of all that weight, I can take them out easy enough without another surgery. Under a shirt or top, they move and feel like the real thing. I have better uses for the 8 grand assuming I even had 8 grand.

OMG, really?

Sadly?

Different strokes, I suppose.

She could come for a three week holiday to California, and get a pair for 8k.

My friend just had hers done in July. Every time I see her I am shocked by them.

May I suggest wearing a bra with gel inserts for a year or so instead? At least she will get an idea of what it will feel like after the surgery. You couldn't pay me enough money to go through that type of surgery.

Personally I like them, a lot 😉

Seriously..... I know some females that have had them done, I would say I think it would make her feel better about herself and maybe a little more confident as a young lady.

If you are unable to boost her self-esteem, perhaps a psychologist would help. It certainly would be a lot cheaper.

Also what you don't hear about from the industry are all the ones that have gone wrong and the amount of women regretting it.

You hear about how successful it is because that is what you think and want to believe.

Apart from the medical complications, I am boy and unless medically required by someone, I wouldn't consider someone with breast implants as a future mother of my children. Don't mean to be blunt but I think your daughter may alienate herself from many people with the right priorities in life.

I and many of the nice people I am surrounded by consider a person based on their behaviour and who they are, not what nature dealt them. A persons mind and personality is what is attractive and I sincerely hope your daughter sees that more than the wishful thinking of our far too image conscious society of today.

What is to be considered are the things that can be lost, not the things that can be gained.

$8,000???? Procedure could go wrong. New clothes. What happens when she wants to breastfeed babies?

What else could she spend her money on? How about money towards her HECS. Savings towards an actual asset i.e. real estate.

Seriously, I wasnt very big before having children; but following breastfeeding 3 of them and my body "maturing", the breasts and hips became more rounded.

Vanity could be expensive in her lifetime, moreso if medical procedures are involved.

That is the problem. She would become a "lady" instead of remaining a real woman.

Well said, and from a males perspective.

As you gals all know there was a wink after my post. I was just tugging a bit!

The bottom line is, at 22 it's her choice, her body. IMO it doesn't make her any less of a woman, lady or person no matter what she decides. Well adjusted good people have work done all the time.... And I'm not saying she should, but it's her choice.

Geez... Lighten up.

Hello,

Would you discard a potential life partner whose personality and mind were attractive to you because they had implants?

I think for some, it may go far deeper than superficial image.

I know that women who may have had masectomies for the treatment of cancer will sometimes have reconstructions.

For some, I think it might be about feeling female. Feeling feminine.

Sure, it is a socially constructed symbology, but being female and having breasts are synonymous and have been throughout history.

It is the same for some men. Men speak of what they consider to be abnormalities in their anatomies and question their masculinity.

I am largely in agreeance with you, so please, I do not mean to argue with or challenge what you have said. Personally, I don't believe in unneccesary procedures. However, what each of us deems as necessary, often differs.

Ones self perception can influence the attractiveness of their mind and personality.

A few things for the mum to discuss with her daughter.

From the movie Cool Runnings, someone asked something like how will I know when I am good enough. The answer was, if you are not good enough (as a person) without (the medal), then you will never be good enough with it.

Then I think it is Whitney Houston - a song along the lines of "learning to love yourself, is the greatest love of all".

You have no knowledge of the body shape of posters here, or what they know about the subject. (I refuse to use a crude description). They have every right to voice their opinions.

Perhaps a psychologist can't help, after all, one's self esteem develops from birth from the love and encouragement of both parents.

OR in this case, a few things to discuss with her dad.

Apologies.

Muppet, I am supportive of many of the things you stated. I just thought it was funny that the father was asking for advice. Although maybe jason is not the author of the original post.

and the input of their peers and society.

I think it is a bit rough to infer that the parents may not have done all that they could or knew how to do, to develop their child's self esteem.

Exactly.....You beat me to it.

Parents try... And if you are a parent you know damn well sometimes it's just luck how your kids turn out. How many good parents have kids that didn't turn out so good.
