Sammy,
I got breast implants in july and I can't even begin to tell you how much I love them!!! I found an excellent doctor and had no real pain, more discomfort as if I had done hundreds of push-ups maybe. I had surgery on thurs and could have gone back to work monday if I had a desk-type job, but as I said, I found a wonderful surgeon who used a very gentle technique and had no bruising at all.
I can honestly say that it was the best decision I made. My only regret is that I didn't do it sooner. I hardly notice them now, but I still notice how much more confident and comfortable I am. And shopping has never been so much fun. I started with less than a's and now have small c's, so just trying on clothes and having them fit is worth it.
There are risks, and they do need to be replaced after about 10 years. I'm 23 now, so I figure i'll probably have kids, breastfeed, and need new boobs in 10 years anyway *wink*.
Good luck with your decision and feel free to pm me if you have any questions about my experience.
