would you get it redone or be too scared to go under the knife again in fear they would make it worse? i have always some what wanted the surgery but i would do good to make it through ONCE and if there were any probs i would be probably too scared to have them fixed in fear it would be made worse and the fact you have to have them redone every 5 or so years terrifies me! so would you get it redone? would it depend on how bad it was messed up? or would you just cover them up and not risk your health and the possibility you could come out more deformed? when i say botched it doesnt always have to be the docs fault but maybe scar tissue that has made one not align perfect or the breast harden, them being too far apart, too big, ripple effect with implant etc etc.. i just dont see how some people go in over and over for the same surgery and half the time it looked ok to begin with! i would be worried about being put under all the time and the healing time!!

No, I wouldn't get it redone as I'd be too scared to go and get it done the first time around! LOL I'm not into getting surgeries, especially if it's just to make myself look better. I'm too chicken anyway. Shoot, just the thought of the word "surgery" gives me the willies. LOL Happy mylotting!

LOL! I didn't wait as long as that, but I did cry when I got my first one removed! And here I didn't even feel a thing. The sound of it all was enough to scare the hell out of me! Especially when I heard the crunch! LOL So, how many did you get removed and did you get them all done at once or did you get them removed one at a time like me?

That's not something I'd ever do even once. Unless there's a real medical reason, I don't agree with going under the knife. I think women need to find a way to raise their self esteem levels without resorting to plastic surgery. Everyone has something about their body they don't like, and sometimes it's something they can't change just through diet and excersize. But instead of critisizing yourself and looking into surgery, you should learn to accept and love that part of yourself!

but there are people that do need to get it done because they have one side significantly bigger than the other one so it wouldnt be a vanity thing but more of fixing a disfigurement in a way

Unless it's medically necessary, then it's a vanity reason. So what if they don't match? They make bras and inserts and things to make them appear to match, so nobody except those close to you really need to know, and those close to you love you enough not to care. God made each of us special, and none of us are perfect. What's wrong with accepting that?

I think that I would leave it the way that it is, and wear a sweatshirt broadcasting the name of the doctor who did it!! That way others would be saved from going under and getting the same crappy service, and I woudln't have to go under the knife again. LOL

I would never do it..not even once. If I am not good enough the way I am forget it! I think it's totally up to whoever wants it done but I wouldn't put myself through surgery just because.
