Do the men salivate at the thought of perkier breasts that are firm and perfect looking? Or do they object to a woman changing their body with surgery, preferring instead to have an all-natural woman?



The decision to have a breast enhancement surgery, while ultimately lying with the woman having the surgery, often involves heavy consultation with the man in their life.

The man's involvement will certainly vary, but particularly post-surgery, the man needs to be willing to understand and accept the role they must play in care-giving.

The first few days following a breast enhancement surgery can be filled with pain, discomfort, and bruising, and great care must be given in administering assistance to the patient. The advice for many men is that they take off work at least the first day after surgery to assist the woman.

There are men whose wives or significant others decide to have breast implants for any number of reasons, but the overwhelming feedback received concerns how the woman reacts after surgery.

One man reported that his wife had had several biopsies on one breast, and the result was a B cup on one side and a C cup on the other, making the woman self-conscious.

After deciding to go through with the surgery, the man reported that he had never seen his wife's face light up the way that it did, and that in twenty-one years of marriage, he had never seen her voluntarily shop for a tank top or bathing suit.

He did reinforce that the post-operative care was considerable, and advises making sure there are plenty of pillows available, water, juices of varying flavors, and that there should be the understanding that neither person would be getting sleep in the first few days.

Another man stated that when it comes to the choice of having implants or not, he had no strong opinions either way for his wife. He stated that when he is intimate with his wife, he isn't thinking about whether she has silicone or saline, but he is thinking about her as a whole person, not as those two parts of her body.

Ultimately, his wife decided to have a breast enhancement, and he says that every time he touches one of them, he doesn't think about what is inside at all.

There are also men who are more concerned with their partner's health than with the aesthetic outcome. After all, it is not a simple surgery procedure, and waiting in the hospital for your loved one to come out of surgery is also difficult. Not to mention, you then have to be the primary caregiver for several days.

The bottom line, however, is that for a majority of men, it matters more that their spouse is having breast implants for their self-image, to make themselves feel better, and not for any other reason.
