I am think about getting my breasts done and my biggest concern is that I will look and feel fat. Has anyone else felt this way?  Thank you for your input.

I think that is a valid concern and one I've heard voiced on a breast implant forum I follow. Picking the right size implant for your body will most likely minimize this concern. Just because you get implants doesn't mean you have to get large implants. I suggest you find a board certified plastic surgeon in your area for a consultation. After examining you and taking your measurements they can help you find the right look for you. Trying on sizes at your appt will also give you an idea of how you might look. 

Best of luck! PS I feel more shapely and confident in my figure. They in no way make me feel or look fat.

Thank you.  I really am ok with being small breasted, I would jus like a better shape and volume. All I hear is they always make them bigger than you asked for. I'll let you know how it goes at my consult.

I just had mine done with a arm lift about 3 weeks ago and really love them. For me the exact opposite happened I feel skinnier  than I ever have and more confident. They do not look or feel fake... just gives me more of a good proportionate figure. If you want more info I have a youtube channel that went over the whole process, feel free to check it out :) http://www.youtube.com/user/jenniferhammond88

How was your recovery time having the breast and arms done?? I am a nurse and really want to have mine done soon.

I am wondering about this, too. I was a 38 DD and always got compliments on my boobs from women, although I am sure men appreciated them, too, LOL. After losing weight I am probably down to a 38 D but I am not buying new bras because I am getting a lift very soon. I did find a new bra in my close that is a size C and I am wearing that. It is a little small so it squishes my boobs smaller. Now that I am getting used to them, I kind of like them. I cannot decide if it makes me look thinner than my big boobs but I think it may. I am interested in what happened at your consult and what you decided.
