Body modification like that is MORE than cross dressing. You can not hide in male mode and unless your wife or girlfriend is bi, she won't like it at all. In fact, I would argue that one can not do such a thing without the wife's full consent.
Doubt I would go that far at this point. My GF is okay with my dressing but she enjoys being with me as a man and I appreciate her for being a loving, caring woman.Kind of doubtful I would do anything to mess with this relationship.:)
I enjoy dressing alot , but have not thought about any body modifacations. Not even ready for that thought.

...aaaaand then there's Brian Zembic (a professional gambler & magician) who took a bet in 1996 to get 38C implants, keeping them in for a year. He won the $100K and decided not to remove them.
I thought it especially interesting that he played backgammon with the surgeon and won enough money to pay for the surgery!
I am at the age where implants are not even on my list even though I consider myself a TS. I would hope that anyone considering them thinks a long time before getting them. They are surgery which always has risks, they are foreign bodies which carry a risk. Even if they are NOT forever they leave scars. It isn't something to take lightly like wanting to own a second home or a boat.
I also agree that it seems that it is beyond the "just crossdressing" realm
No I would not go for implants, if hormones can't do it I don't want it.
Yes I do have implants and am very comfortable with them, feel more girly and sensual. I also agree with Jenniferathome, but that is the irony of it, it was the wifes r idea to get them. Call myself her she-husband.Quote:

Now if I had implants, that would be a strange scenario for sure.
Even at night, with me in my baby doll nightie, she likes to rub
my chest. I love her, and she gets anything she wants.

I've heard hormones don't always produce best results ( C+) past your twenties in breast area, and I already grew up with and had the wide hips and curvy booty natually, no modification was necessary in that area. Just needed the implants, and wife was one who made the suggestion. Have no regrets getting them or problem with themQuote:

I agree with most of the members here that modifying your body like this goes beyond "just crossdressing". It limits the way you can present yourself, especially in the warmer months. Even if you have a partner who encourages it, there is no guarantee that they'll always feel that way. Not a step to be taken until you truely understand your feelings, needs, motivation, and identity.

Personally, I think implants for males or females is just a waste of money. I like natural women and am really put off by fake boobs. You get into a whole other realm when thinking about implants for men. Generally speaking males do not have the breast tissue that would make implants feasable.
I have been taking herbs (yes I know there are many who think THAT is a waste of money too). I have tried a few differing methods and have had limited success for some time. However, I happened upon a company that is run by a TS that transitioned using herbs and has a full transition (fully feminized). I am approaching a full b and have increased my bust measurement over 2" much of that has been accomplished over the past 3 months. The key to any feminization regardless of hormones (which are extremely dangerous) is cutting testosterone so the replacement of estrogen has more success. Another issue too is that just as it takes GG's years to fully develop, nothing is going to show immediate results. The advantage of herbs over hormones is that herbs are natural and are better metabolized. Hormones are hard on the endocrine and metabolic systems of the body because they are not naturally metabolized.
You can say what you will but I am happy with how things are working for me and I plan to continue and hopefully will end up a C or... Well, I will have to make that call as time passes. I am not transitioning and don't wish to have any surgeries to alter the plumbing I was born with. I just have an overriding desire to go beyond clothing.
If anyone wants more information from me you can contact me through private messages. It's not necessary to reply here and tell me how I am wasting my time and money, thanks.
May you enjoy the path you wish to travel

If I was much younger, and thought I would never have children, I might have considered it. I have (natural) A cups anyway, and was teased about them a lot while growing up. So I wouldn't have minded getting them a little bigger. But now, not a possibility. My wife has mentioned a couple times about her getting implants and I've told her if anyone gets them, it will be me, so I have access to them all day long.
My wife has supported everything I've done, including my going full time (exception of visiting her Dad at Xmas). I've brought up implants with her, to the point of going to three consultations. Twice she came with me to talk to the surgeon. Each time she has talked me out of it. I feel that with all the leeway she's given me, if she has an objection about one thing, then she certainly deserves that right. Last time it came up, she said wait til I've been full time for a year. That's up, but I'm not going to say anything til she does. I have a feeling that when her father passes ( he's very old and infirm), she will tell me to go for it.
For those of you considering it, he's what I found out thru' the consultations.
- All three doctors were more than willing to give me implants. No therapists note or doctors referral. They say 'It's your body, and you've clearly considered this carefully'. (Show up at the surgeons dressed, and with an approving wife)
- Cosmetic surgeons who offer financing do it thru' an outside finance company who probably WON'T finance a guy getting boobs. (they think you're unstable, or going to lose your job). So have cash in hand.
- Consider what your going to do for hair removal. Electrolysis on your chest may add thousands to the price. I only have peach fuzz, so the Doc said I would be fine going with Nair as needed.
- If you're new to HRT or considering it, he will tell you to wait and see what happens naturally, We've all seen the 'boob growing on a boob' in pictures.
- If you can't put on forms the size you would like your breasts, and walk around in your front yard, and down Main St. anytime you please, with not even a tinge of embarassment, or other concerns, in a tank top, by NO means should you consider implants. Even if you're heavy set, feminine boobs are IMPOSSIBLE to hide.
- I can't see any employer allowing a male presentation with boobs. Most will allow you to be one presentation or the other consistantly. If you think they can't fire you cause 'it's your right', in the real world you can be fired for anything. If you're not a true transexual a lawyer won't even take your case.
- Implants are not forever, count on a new pair, and MORE expensive surgery everytime they have to be replaced.
I hope that some of you, who really want them, get them. These are only my experiences/research. -Celeste
I used to feel the same way; however, we have to realize that people need to feel comfortable in their own bodies, and pretty much everyone here can probably understand this better than the rest of the world. Lots of us grow up with what we feel is a much less than perfect body; Sure, for some, it's a delusion, but I've listened to women torture other women with nasty remarks about being flat chested, as well as listening to both men and women poke fun at men with small penises. Yes, once we've reached a certain age where our looks aren't all that important anymore, it's easy to say that it doesn't matter at all; but for the younger ones? It matters a whole lot. Especially for girls; breasts of a certain 'magnitude' if you will, are expected by a certain age, as well as later in life, and if she doesn't have 'em, there's a very good chance she's going to feel badly about herself. And there's absolutely no reason to have to put up with that. We live in a day and age where plastic surgeons routinely correct scars, irregular facial features, etc.. So why should a woman (or CD, TS, whatever) have to live a life of misery because they don't 'measure up' to the rest of the population? The clear advantage of being beautiful is no longer reserved for only those with the right genetics to get it from the start; now, everyone can be almost as beautiful as they want to be (well, mostly; I'm never going to look like Nina Agdal, no matter how much surgery I might have!). So for those who feel like nature didn't call their name when the right parts were being given out, go for it: Think it over carefully, wait a bit just so you're sure, then jump into the deep end of the pool. Life doesn't wait around for any of us.Quote:

Did you hear the one about Raquel Welch on a lifeboat?
Yadayadayada those aren't buoys.
If you're not TS, don't get them.
I've thought about this, and I'm too much of a man at heart for implants or hrt. That said, Kimi think the deciding factor for me is if I ever suffer some life altering incident like testicular cancer or trauma or something like that, I'd give hrt and implants and other more extreme measures serious consideration.
I remember seeing an interview with that guy. He said women love themQuote:

I would not mind at all if I had my own, rather then having to wear forms.
I would also not have a problem having them all the time, even in guy mode.
But getting implants would be tough, Not sure that I would want to go thru
the surgery to get a foriegn object put in my body. If I could grow my own,
that would be fine with me. But I would have to get to the 42dd that my forms simulate.
My wife would dfinitly have issues though. So I will just be content with what I have. :thinking:
Whoa???? Why? Isn't that kinda sexist? Is it because you feel threatened by his Cding? What possible reason would you have for insure that another human being cannot have something that makes them happy?Quote:

After all you love this man because of who he is as a person, not because of what he wears or what he looks like. Don't you think it's rather superficial to say that "if you modify something about your body I won't love you." It's like leaving someone for losing a leg.
You make me sad.
The surgical solution to increase breast size is not the easiest of processes. We're talking a year before the body and the implants settle down, and then it's not at all certain that they will be natural in any sense of the word. It seems to me that Karren had the right idea. It takes longer but they are all yours!
How far? I grew my own till I had to transition because a pair of breasts that big (32B-C) on a 29-30" stick only belong on a girl. Trying to present as a male with perky breasts was impossible, especially in 1980. So I started living as a girl...
Look at it this way, if you've got your own boobs you get license to make boob jokes.
:)
Snow, you have absolutely nothing to apologize for. Nothing. And you need not feel compelled to explain or defend yourself, either. You are better than that, so please, stop . . . . :)Quote:

And if either party fails to properly treat it is such, the partnership will not last. And really, why should Snow feel she needs to snuggle up to her husband with breasts everynight she goes to bed. Or be subjected to negative treatment by those around her that readily can see her husband has breasts. When Snow agreed to marry Tara, she did not sign up for a partner with breasts. So that is a decision that is between them, and you should not judge her for it.Quote:

She is even, if you hadn't noticed, a member of this forum. She actively participates. She wants to understand. She tries. She is here! How many can say such a thing about their partners? Snow seems like she is a good person to me. Yet, you haven't even given her the slightest benefit of the doubt. How fair is that?
What??!! This makes no sense. Making the affirmative decision to proactively seek breast implants is not like losing a leg. It is nothing like losing a leg, in fact. Even if it was, which it isn't, you are again invalidating Snow. It is not superficial at all. Again, they are breasts, and her husband is a man.Quote:

As a CD who only dresses for fun, I would love to have breasts, but unless they could install them with zippers so I could remove them for work, I'll have to pass. Natural looking cleavage would be awsome though. So my thoughts.....unless your going full time......then no. I do have A+ naturally.
I am TS and have lived full time for over 1.5 years. I will have implants in two weeks. My SO fully supports me on this. This is a decision not to be taken lightly and this is not for a CD only in my opinion.
Maybe my boobs aren't big enough for people to notice but I don't think anyone cares.
Hi Briana, Be careful what you wish for it could come back to bite you in the @$$ .
At 66, if I were single (I am married) I think I would explore being more TG than CD and if I could afford the procedure I would probably get implants, but only to a B. The rest I could get with enhancers and bras.
I would also get an ochi and get rid of the boys that constantly have painful epididymitis*.
I don't think I would be femme 100% of the time, but surely 80+%.
* http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epididymitis
My Wife and I have talked about it (she has 500cc DD implants and loves them, me too!) and we have both agreed on a smaller implant around 250cc for me when ever we have enough money for them. We talked to her Doctor and she is happy to do the surgury! She even joked about slipping in a 550cc while im on the table! LOL So Yes I would and will get them one day, big enough to be fun, small enough to be hideable if nessary!

I remember reading about that and thought, "Man, oh man, I'd do it in a heartbeat". Especially if someone else was picking up the tab.

I'd love to but at this point at my age no way. And my wife would never go for it.:hugs:

If they made "Air Partons" I might think about it. What are Air partons? Boobs you can pump up when you want thwm and can let the air out when you need to.
Oh, when drunker than a skunk I might have thought about it. Since I have them already I don't wear forms. Push them up enhancers sometimes. Your boobs are never the right size. Lots of members on this forum have different size forms. That is an advantage. Girls with big boobs want them smaller and girls with little boobs want them bigger.
Stick with forms they look as real as many of the boob jobs I see.
Snow,
I also believe your feelings are legitimate.
It is nice that you are as understanding as you are.
Everybody has there limits.
That is exactly how I read this thread.
What are your limits?
I've thought about it and have the money but when it comes to real life at the job and the family, just can't do it. I'm not married and don't have children.
Glad people defended Snow White. Snow, thanks for sharing with us. As others said, you have nothing to apologize for.
Personally, I have small boobs of my very own, and I'm really concerned that one of the reasons I have trouble losing weight is that somewhere in my subconscious, part of me is afraid of losing them as I do lose weight. If it were socially acceptable and I wasn't very concerned about the negative impact on my family and my career, I think it would be great to have perhaps B+ boobs all the time.
Deedee
In your situation and you can happily handle it, good for you.Quote:

I guess that would be something I would not be okay with. I mean, I am bisexual. So the femininity and the CDing doesnt bother me as much as it would some women. But I think that body modification is not crossDRESSING. CDing is clothing you body and wearing makeup and wigs and "cloaking" what already exists to make it more feminine in appearance. But when you take off the clothes, the original genitalia and component still exist. I think that going for implants borders on more TG related issues. While that is a personal choice I support. I would rather support a best friend through it, than a SO. If you catch my drift.
Others have mentioned this, but getting breasts is not a crossdresser thing to do, even if a person says they are a CD.Quote:

Getting rid of the beard is another biggie, and often facial feminization surgery (reducing a nose, shaving the chin and the brow bone) is a greater priority than SRS.
... so why do you think that a crossdresser would want to grow breasts, if it means altering his male body to look more female permanently?
Actually, if this is done for sexual gratification reasons, then I understand. I don't condone altering a body for fetish reasons, but I can see how the sexual drive to do this would be powerful enough for someone who is not TS.
