boob job
I am getting married to my college sweetheart in July of 2014. I had my first dress fitting and to my usual disappointment my brest are too small so I have to super pad my chest and tape them together so it looks like my cheast fits in my dress. I am thinking about getting plastic surgery to finally have boobs (I am a 34B) but I can not make a descision and my futurn husband said that if I really want them done then get them but he loves my chest either way.
What shoud I do?

Re: boob job
A breast lift/ boob job is definately in my future so I wont tell you not to get one. Its your choice. But I agree with others, it would be a lot less expensive to get another dress (even with rush delivery) than a boob job.
Have you been considerng this for awhile or only after you tried on your dress? Because its major surgery and you should be absolutely certain before you do it.
If this is something you have wanted / been unhappy about for a while then that's your choice. But I agree with PP. Don't just do it for a dress or look you had pictured for your wedding.
(i had to order a larger dress size for my hips, so the cups were larger already than I needed.)
This is totally your call, but if hubby is happy either way I'd save the money invest in a good bra or cutlets. Your family and friends love you for you, not the size of your chest.
Well, it wasn't because I wanted more. I am a breast cancer survivor - stage 3+. I had a mastectomy on my right side, which included them taking all the lymph nodes in my right arm. (13 tested positive for cancer.) I had reconstruction surgery over a year. There is no nipple, but it looks great as long as I'm in my clothes or bathing suit. I have no feeling on my right side or arm. There is an implant, and it aches sometimes.
The left side was a saggy baggy mess. The surgeon reduced and lifted my left breast, leaving my nipple intact, so that it is equal to my right side. Most of the scars are underneath the breast. I left about 5 lbs. of flesh on the operating table. I have some feeling, but not anything like I did before the surgery. It still hurts occasionally after 4 years, but I am cancer free so far, and that is what is really important. It looks great with my bra on. Frankly, I didn't expect my nipple to point UP after surgery, but, oh, well.
Think long and hard before you put yourself through breast surgery just to look good in your wedding dress. It isn't worth it. I miss the sensations of my old breasts, even if they were too big. Some women have a bad reaction to the implants, and scar tissue can really make a mess of your body. Hollywood actresses go through it for their career, but I'm guessing that they wouldn't do it except for the money. Poor Pamela Sue Anderson has had a terrible time over the years.
Your FI loves you the way you are.
And that's after having tissue removed because of tumors.
Again, like all PPs, surgery to "fit" into a dress is a bit drastic... I know it's easier said than done, and we're ALL guilty of it at some point, but loving your own body is going to make you feel better than a boob job, I think!
I used to be a d cup. I had breast reduction surgery so I'm a c cup now. Really I hated having big boobs. I probably would have gotten mine a bit smaller but I was worried it would look odd.
Imagine if you had a complication? Blood clots, excessive swelling, infection, your body rejects the implant, etc etc. You have such a small window for the surgery, recovery, and planning a wedding. You don't have time for complications, but they're fairly likely to occur.
Surgery is HUGE. It's not something to decide on in a few weeks/months or by internet strangers (although I think PPs give you some great thinking points).
