Did Catherine Zeta Jones get breast implants?

That's right. Her breasts don't look fake. Mine don't either. Absolutely no-one can tell.

OT:
There are several things intrinsic to having good breast implants:
1. you must get the correct size for your body.
2. you must have a very good (board-certified) doctor.
3. you must take extra good care of yourself for a minimum of one month, preferably three (i.e., I could not lift my children for three months). I had it done on a Wednesday, went out Saturday night (drove to a sedate concert), and was back at work on Monday.
4. NO underwire or pushup bras for three months (I got yelled at because I went in for a checkup with an underwire on after about 3 weeks).
5. You must be totally confident that this is what you want to do, and especially that your body subconsciously accepts the surgery and the foreign objects. I did several little meditations about my subconscious mind accepting this surgery (it's major surgery depending on how it's done, and a major change). This concept is along the lines of Hawaiian Huna, that the subconscious self is the caretaker and healer of your body. Call it wacko, but it worked for me. The reason I did it (the meditation) is because I had heard that so many women have oodles of trouble. I believe that one of the reasons many women have trouble (not all) is because on some level they are not quite right about having it done: guilt, fear, etc. So if you're thinking of having any PS done, the issue has to be completely resolved in your mind. I've never had any problems, after twenty years. The night before I went in, I was suddenly struck that this is something very radical to do to one's body and these things stay in for life (theoretically), but I really needed and wanted to do it so I worked out those thoughts.

Anyway, that's my advice. End OT.

I think she's had them done, and whoever it is did a very good job. She's had two children, she's older than she lets on, etc. There's somebody else who had it done, can't think who right now, but hers are very natural also.

If she didn't get impants, her boobs are awesomely well toned and she is either really lucky, or she found the perfect treatment (and I want to know what she does!)

90% of women in Hollywood have breast implants, its getting annoying to speculate who has and who hasn't.

I think the only real way to know is to touch them. I have never felt a fake boob but my friend has and he said it feels really weird, even if they look good.

[Mira]

Newp. Not mine. They're very soft and natural. and they're silicone.

Yeah i've heard lots of men say they feel awful. I dont really understand how they COULD feel natural. They're not natural!

[Mira]

But they do. Sometimes they harden up in cold weather, but when you're very warm (like in a warm room with clothing on) they're soft.

It depends on your skin type, your muscle tone, your tissue tone, and the type of implants, and the way they were put in. In other words, there are many, many factors to why or why not the implants feel soft.

I personally think a lot of cosmetic surgeons only care about the check, and they don't stand up to women who want big-uns. My dr. told me right off the bat, you don't have the body type for D cup. I said, who asked for a D cup? I didn't. He also argued with me that I would be back next year to get them made bigger. He was wrong. But he was still an excellent doctor.

A lot of women in Hollywood have zero fat content in their bodies and they want these big gazongas and expect everyone to think they look good. It's kind of like when anorexics only see fat where there is a skeleton.

Funny story, when I went for my consult, almost 20 years ago, I got in there and had to stifle laughter. All these assistants, receptionists, nurses, accountant, every damn female who worked in the place had these huge round breasts sitting real high on their chests and they all had tight clothing on. Truly, it was comical. Hysterical even.

If Catherine Zeta-Jones got breast implants, the surgeon did an excellent job. They are proportionate to her build. An old co-worker of mine got her implants placed ridiculously high, and they were too big to look in proportion to her frame.

[khaebs]

I don't think it's just about the implant itself feeling soft, but the way it behaves under the skin...like when he's rubbing the implant, it moves around under the skin and that feels weird. This is just what he said though, I don't know from experience *shrug*

[Mira]

testing....... nope. Not sure what you're talking about

^^Mira, I am seriously considering implants. You got yours 20yrs ago...is it true you have to replace them every 10yrs? I actually have a consult. i paid, but i havent gone yet due to circumstances which came up. any advice??? i read your post on what to do after-surgery, but were you still able to breast feed? also forgot to add, i know silicone is back and many docs say its even better than salene. your thoughts/experience with silicone? thanx))

[Mira]

I had mine done after I had kids, but I hear that in some cases you can still breastfeed. Depends on how they're put in. You'e going to that 90210 guy from tv? Wow. I think he's a tool, but maybe he's a good doctor. I can't stand to watch the interaction with his wife. Too painful.

Anyway, back to the subject at hand. Mine are absolutely fine after let's see... 18 years. Ask the dr. what he thinks, I'd be interested to hear what he says.

How much did you pay for the consult? I've never heard of that. Of course things are different in the 90210.

I haven't talked here about the good reasons for doing implants. I was accepted immediately because my reasons were the right ones.

(1) I had BAD mammary atrophy. Truly, horrifyingly horrible.
(2) I wanted it for myself only nobody else.
(3) The man in my life wasn't insisting on it.
(4) The man in my life wasn't inserting himself into every detail with respect to it.
(5) I didn't want them too big.
(6) I wanted my body to be symmetrical for a change.

So if you have good reasons and you really need them, I would say go for it. I would really explore all the angles, types, sizes, ways of putting them in. Each case is different. Some go in front of the muscle, some go behind. I did a lot of research and thinking before doing it. I believe most women are happy they did it. Like everything else, the odds of success get better and better every year.

Let us know how it goes. (The consult, that is.)

BTW, the doctor told me one year later that I was one of his biggest success stories. They are fantastic. I look symmetrical, clothing fits, I look good nekkid , and there are no health problems.

^^thanx so much! This definitely has nothing to do with a man or anything like that. I lost weight and they're completely deflated and saggy and i would feel better in my own skin if i felt confident and happy with my breasts-we are women after all! You can go on his site and check out some pics, I personally like his work. Obviously, everything might change with the consult. For some reason, I felt, well-if I'm going to do this, I dont wanna risk anything so I'll go to the mecca of PS hehe. My consult was 100 bucks, not too bad. And if you look good nekkid-what's better than that? haha. thanx again)

[Mira]

Great. Again, let us know how it turns out. It sounds like you may be a good candidate based on the sagging and deflation. Feeling better in your own skin is the kind of thing they want to hear. I mean, he's obviously good or they wouldn't have chosen him for the show, so he's not going to take too much issue with your reasons unless you look pretty damn good already - which if you did you wouldn't be there.

There is a questionnaire that you fill out on why you want this, as I recall. They look at a lot of factors. But it sounds good for you. Good Luck! It's a lot to get through, but it's worth it.

[crumpet]

I have recently learned that implants only need to be replaced if one ruptures/deflates. They do not need to come out just for being in a certain lenght of time. A friend of mine dates a plast. surgeon who said she has patients who've had theirs 20 yrs.
