Convincing husband about implants

[FitFossil]

It seems like most men are delighted at the prospect of their wives getting implants. My husband is different. I've never told him I seriously want them, but based on his usual reaction to them, I don't think he'd be too keen on it. Of course, before I got seriously into fitness and so lean, I had a C cup and never felt the need for implants.

$$$ is not the issue, I'm happy to pay myself. I think to him it's the idea of not being "natural", but he has NO idea how much stuff women do just to look natural! I've joked with him about how natural I could be if I stopped shaving, wearing makeup, etc. and he didn't like the idea of that kind of natural LOL!

He doesn't realize how many normal everyday women get implants, not just strippers and actresses who want really big ones. I used to think I could get by with wearing my molded cup bra, but then I think WHY? I've worked hard on my body. I want to wear a bathing suit and not be flat as a pancake or not go in swimming because I'm afraid my "gels" will fall out. And naked, I just don't feel right anymore.

Anyone have suggestions for bringing him around?

maybe dig up some before after pictures of "normal" sized women... most men just view implants as those things strippers/porn stars get, and as you said they probably would have very little clue if they saw it on a woman who got sensible sized implants that were well proportioned to their bodies...

do some research, find some before/after pics of someone who currently appears to have a size you have and is going to a size you would like and let him see what the difference would be...

if he still doesn't like it then maybe he just wants you to stay how you are now... which isn't necessarily a bad thing (to have a man who thinks you're perfect just as you are)

That is SO true! I think it's kinda funny there's a bit of a stigma around plastic surgery. It's really no different than makeup, nail polish, & hair dye - just permanent & more expensive.

As far as 'normal women' getting implants, there were a few threads on the aerobics instructor bulletin board I was on about plastic surgery. Personally, I was surprised how many stay-at-home Moms, school teachers, etc. & other non-actresses or strippers had them. Don't know if that helps!

Unless he's getting the implants, he can voice his opinion, but the decision is yours. If you want them, pay for them and get them.

I really think you would like them Fitfossil. And that from a housewife

Maybe you should find out why he doesn't want you to get them. He may be concerned about health risks. Or he may just be turned off by large breasts.

I love a firm A/B cup.

Go to a good source & educate both him and yourself. You can go in circles for hours talking about the pros, cons, stigmas, your personal feelings, his feelings, your body, etc etc. If you don't have the facts, the discussion is meaningless if its that important to you.

www.implantinfo.com
www.implantforum.com

Lots of pix, stories. discussion threads, real time chat, documents & medical issues.

Bottom line is that you have to live with them if you want them. And then you have to live with him and he has to live with you. One point that I think people forget about w/ implants is that they do have a shelf life that is on average 10 years, but some can rupture in 2 years, some want to go bigger or smaller in a few years (or months), some are still going strong at 25 years. But you can probably expect to have to get them replaced at some point, so its not a one time thing - there is some maintenance to them down the road at some point.

If your married then its a 50/50 decision. I have the dream of explaining AS to my parents, but it wont happen. If i were try to explain to him about the implant. Im sure my parents wont listen but your husband will. If he doesnt you shouldnt have married him.

It's not his choice it's yours. But you have to take into consideration what he thinks also. In the end though I'll guarantee he'll change his mind and love your new and improved breasts. I say go for it...
