  1. My brother suggested I may like this blog.
    He was totally right. This submit actually made my day.
    You can not consider just how much time I had spent for this information! Thank you!

  2. I’ve thought about getting breast implant surgery. I’m still a little flat chested, even though I’m in my thirties, so it would be nice to have a rounder chest that will fill out my dresses. I’ve always been concerned about the recovery process, so it’s good to know about what the recovery process will be like after breast augmentation surgery. I didn’t realize that breast implants might affect my posture. It seems like a good idea to keep my posture in check if I decide to go through with the surgery.

    1. Yes breast implants often have another positive effect – making better posture – surely clothes look better and you’ll just want to stand up straight to show off your new figure. Thanks for posting. WGS
