Showing off new boobs

[blinkey]

We had a conversation that lead to an interesting question. Next week the Mrs. is getting some new boobs, and she said she'd show them to friends (vanilla or otherwise) who wanted to see them, as a curiousity. (Apparently right after surgery, they're like Frankin-Boobs.)

Anyway, that got me wondering... How did YOUR boob-revealing behavior change after getting your new ones? Or did it? Are they hidden away exactly the same amount as before, or are they shown off freely to anyone who will look? Or perhaps only to friends? Does it make a difference if they're vanilla? Does it matter if the friend(s) are male or female?

Cheers, ladies!

It depends on what you call "Showing them off".

Of course, I wear more provovative clothing now. Before it only served to show how LITTLE I had.

For what it's worth, DH just loves for me to show a lot of cleavage (within reason) anytime I go out of the house. It makes me feel wonderful with all the attention, and it makes him proud that I am his! facelick

We have a vanilla friend who had hers augmented a few years ago. Give her two drinkss and she'll show her girls to just about anyone. We're very comfortable with nudity, but we still cringe a bit when we are with her at a local (vanilla) bar and she gets into a flashing mood. We still, however, position ourselves to get a good view. Sharing is nice, within certain limits...

I certainly would want to show them off too, but there are inappropriate places. Most people will have a sense of what's acceptable. One thing to keep in mind is that some women may feel it tacky because of jealousy. If I ever get a tummy tuck, it's bikini time again!

One of the girls I work with got hers done last year and everyone at work got to see! and almost everyone outside that asked to see she showed. She was even nice enough to show my hubby too. Which made his day since she is quite the little hottie!! I think most women that get them done show them alot...kinda like a new toy!

[DGrey]

I've had several vanilla friends get their boobs done and have felt compelled to show them off. Of course, one of those friends was my sister...talk about being blindsided.

Very true. Original equipment here as well. PPs (Petite and Perky). Wouldn't mind borrowing at least one of your Ds from time to time.

Hi Blinkey, good question! Like somebody suggested, there are degrees to showing them off.

Like others, I've known women who were truly obnoxious about it. They used their augmented boobs aggressively - that's the most accurate word for it I can think of. These are the women who usually went over-sized and extreme with the implants to start with, and then wear very revealing tops at all times, even to their kids' events. It's almost as if they become the boobs - the boobs take over and define them. It makes me wonder who they were before the boobs. LOL! One of these women that comes to mind, a single neighbor/acquaintence when I was still single, would put hers directly under the nose of any other woman's date, in a way of saying, "you know you want these more than you want those". Does that make sense?
She was also one of those flashers who would show them to everyone and anyone in the vanilla bar. This woman, women like her, often make people very uncomfortable with their behavior - and not just the women! The first couple we were with in the Lifestyle, the wife was a lot like that, too.....just all about her implants, like she and "they" were always the main attractions, and the most important thing about her.

Please don't mistake this with female jealousy - it's not about that. It's about not enjoying being around somebody who's being obnoxious. If you met a person who kept shoving their Rolex under your nose and everyone else's, talking about their Rolex continually and flashing it as if their Rolex was the only thing worth being interested in, you'd probably get bored with them, too. Even if you couldn't care less about having a Rolex, yourself. kwim?

Although I don't personally care for implants, lots of women get them for various reasons. Many enjoy going for the more realistic look. They might dress up to enjoy this new feature, just like someone would use makeup to enhance a great pair of eyes, or dress in certain things to show off nice legs. Great....happy for them! Their boobs don't define who they are, they're just a feature they enjoy.

About 5 months ago, I had bodylift and breast lift surgery. I went from needing a bra, D-DD, to a perky C. I love them! I am wearing all kinds of things now that I couldn't wear before, like Victoria's Secret braless halter tops, some with "shelf" bras (minimal support), and I've even gone to the club braless in fairly sheer blouses. Now, I'm excited about my new look, and it makes me feel more confident wearing certain clothes. But, I'm in that second category I described - I just feel it's one of my nicer features now, and like wearing makeup on my face and styling my hair in a flattering way, I like dressing up to enhance one of my features. Likewise, after having the extra skin removed off my torso, I love the way my belly looks now....and I can wear lowrise jeans and bikinis now, too. I'm still the same person though, and I only "flash" my body parts to people who have a vested interest.

I wear a lot more tank and halter tops now, but as far as showing them off, no I don't, and I never did (even 2.5 years ago when they were new). And, mine don't look particularly fake. In fact, at a houseparty last night, the subject of implants came up and I chimed in. A playmate of ours said, 'you have implants?' in an incredulous sort of way. I told him I sometimes wish they didn't look quite so real .

I think getting implants is like getting a car. Some people are fixated on the fact that they have something new and shiny. Some people just want something that looks good and serves a purpose.

Good luck on your new additions!

Pepper, Our compliments to your surgeon.

Wouldn't mind borrowing at least one of your Ds from time to time.

You are certainly more than welcome to...would next Saturday suit you. I have a party that night and would love to have 2 cup sizes left to fit into a lovely little top I saw...

Tybee Swing your post has got me thinking...how was the surgery and the recovery, much scaring? pain? I must admit I have considered having this done.

[Fred&Wilma]

Wilma has been through boob surgery three times in the last 20 years. First time for medical reason's, second time due to the first set being silicone, the last time due to hardening (cystalizing) around the outside of the implant.

Interesting reaction's each time.
1st time - So proud to have a larger set of cans, that she would show them and talk about them with everyone.
2nd time - Told only a few friends, upped them one size which became a problem as they had no movement and if they hit you in the face someone could loose an eye they were so hard. This is the set that became encapsulated. Nipples were always up and extremely tender.
3rd time - Went back down a size, proud of them again but told only a few friends.

I think the first time was this wave of elation, that she had a set of breasts to be proud of and wanted to tell everyone. Think of it as obtaining something you have wanted all your life be it material things such as a certain car or some sort of balance in your life that makes you really really happy. Actually I was never displeased about the originals, but what the heck, every so often Fred gets a new home entertainment system. However with each subsequent set, it was just something that had to be done and that feeling of elation really never occured at the same level again.

She was so happy the first time, that all I did was sit back and watch her enjoy herself.

The key is to get an outstanding surgeon with lots of experience - do all the homework, first. The scars will partly depend on the patient's health and healing ability, but also a great deal on the surgeon's skill and attention to detail. I'm very fortunate to have very fine lines and very even (my surgeon is very meticulous). At only 5 months post-op, the breast scars are hard to see and part of the bodylift scar is so faded it's hard to see, too! It will only get better and better. That scar is so low and even, it hides beneath a g-string, and certainly inside of bikini bottoms. If you look at the pic on our profile, you'll see a black g-string under the black lace. That's where my scar is located.

I had gotten very fit over a long period of time (lost weight in 2003-2004), following a very healthy diet (still do) and lots of exercise. With sagging stretched skin, the only way that's ever going away is to have it removed. I didn't have lipo or anything, but after the surgery I immediately looked like I'd lost 20 lbs. Extra skin takes up a lot of space in your clothes.

The pain: that's what drugs are for. LOL There's pain, but it's bearable. Of course, everybody's different in how they feel about pain. In my case, I was only on the hard stuff for 3 days post-op, then weaned myself onto just Extra-Strength Tylenol after that, with Ambien at night to sleep. The recovery: I was home from work for 2.5 weeks post-op, then back to a desk job. For some time, you're more tired than normal...this is a real healing process. Taking really good care of yourself and getting plenty of nutrition and rest is important. Pretty soon, I was allowed to walk for exercise. I was released by my surgeon to go back to working out, including weights, at 4 months post-op. With major muscle repair to abs, you need to give that plenty of time to heal before working out hard.

It's all been extremely worth it to me. Since I had a baby 18 years ago, my body never looked the same as before, not even close, regardless of exercise or anything I could do. After I was a mom, I gained weight and then lost it, meaning more stretched skin. After the swelling went down, my reaction was feeling as if I got my 25-year-old body back - and that was a great feeling! The results were better than I dreamed they'd be.

Hey Blinkey, how did the surgery go? It has been a week now and we need to hear a report. Wish you the best.
