As a teenager in the early 1970s, I had a small frame and breasts an average 34B. Unlike my mother, who was very well endowed, I was petite. Since it was the late part of the hippie generation, many times I went braless. Everything was fine.
Years later, I became a breast-feeding mom of three children that were all born about a year apart…….bang-bang-bang. And, since I faithfully breastfed each of them, you can imagine that after four years of continuous pregnancy and breastfeeding, my boobies resembled a collapsed Playtex® plastic bottle insert! More affectionately termed: ‘pancakes’!
So, we’re talking about accepting our imperfections, right? Well, I was just 25 years old, and this imperfection was totally unacceptable to me! So, before breast implants were ever ‘in’, I was searching a surgical way to correct my frontal ‘pancakes’, especially after a concerned female stranger at my gym had the kahoonas to ask me “what happened to your breasts?”!!
Silicone was the only option back then, and I dove in. That was 27 years ago.
Well, I got good mileage out of them, but three years ago the silicone began to crumble and scar tissue started to encapsulate and surround each piece of silicone. A lumpy mess! I had most of it removed (some of the pieces were impossible to remove) and saline implants replaced them.
Unfortunately, the scar tissue ‘mechanism’ in my body had gotten ‘turned on’, and now the saline implant on my left breast is completely encapsulated. The maintenance on this thing; deep tissue massage to keep it soft, supplements and stretching exercises are a daily routine. If I don’t keep up, it hurts and hinders the range of motion in my shoulder.
Recently, I learned of a revolutionary new system that involves the body’s own ability to break up adhesions (scar tissue), and so far I do see a subtle change for the good, so I’m going to continue with it. Truth is, I like having a relationship with my cleavage!
My question is this: What would you do? Would get them removed and accept the imperfection of having ‘pancake’ boobies, or would you keep looking for a solution to have nice looking boobs? A better question would be: Do you know the solution to this problem?
