Do they feel like yours?

[devibear 36]

I was thinking last night that what if my implants always feel like foreign objects in me? This isn't a question that comes up often in my searches so I was wondering if I could get some insight from you lovely people. When do your boobies start to feel like yours, and not something foreign? Or will they always feel foreign?

My boobs feel as big as part of me as my arms, legs or head. To me they’ve never felt foreign. I never look down and think there’s my fake tiddies. Always just, wow nice tiddies self.

Mine felt like part of me around the three month mark when they started to soften and looked more natural up until then I could always notice their presence or feel them when I moved in a certain way

I was curious about this too!

Mine feel totally part of me and have done right from the start and more so as they dropped and fluffed - I totally love them and feel this is what my boobs should always have been if Mother Nature had not robbed me as a teenager!! ?
They have never felt like a 'foreign object' at all...

I don’t have any idea when they felt like ‘mine’ but it was quite a while until they felt 100% natural.

It took a while for my mind to accept my new boobs. I was really flat chested prior to my BA. I went from a 10AA to a 10C cup. I also found it was a bit of an emotional journey too with accepting this new part of my body. I found by the 4th month mark I began to feel my boobs were a part of me. I am now 4 years post op and I could not imagine going back to being flat chested. My advice would be to just give things time - the body is healing and the mind is accepting the new you. x

It took me a year to feel like they we're mine. ?

For me it took a good 6 months when they started to soften to really start to feel like mine. I find its different for everyone some feel that they feel natural straight away and some in a few weeks /months and some up to a year , for me i think it took longer because of all my years training, teaching classes and competing (must of had very tight chest muscles )

Thanks for all the replies everyone

Hi devibear,

I have to say, I go back and forth. Yes they are a part of me, but I am always aware that they are 'fake' boobs, I also lost sensation on the outer third of my breast and most of the sensation in my nipples, so that also makes them feel like they aren't mine. When I tense my chest muscles any time throughout the day I am reminded of the implants. To me lately more and more I feel like I no longer want them inside me and want to go back to my natural breasts because I worry they are affecting my health also.

Sorry, I hope this doesn't dissuade you, everyone has a different experience

Mine absolutely felt weird and foreign to me at first and for quite a long time I'd say! Especially in the beginning when you're checking them all the time, getting used to the extra weight/shape, changing silistrips and constantly checking the scars. A few years later and I often totally forget I have breast implants though.

Mine did and didn't feel a part of me - It never really bothered em but once mine were removed I did realise how much I always knew they were there
