After everyone yelled at me in yesterday’s Michael Fassbender post, I think I should just remind everyone that IF I am sexually harassing Fassy by discussing the erstwhile Fassdong, then I’m sexually harassing just about everyone and everything. I talk about beavs, boobs, butts and dongs all day long. It’s MY JOB. And I love my job. So, with that in mind, let’s talk about Angelina Jolie’s boobs. Angelina had a double mastectomy more than six months ago, and very quickly after that operation, she had her breast reconstructive surgery, with implants. Since we found out about Angelina’s operations, many of us have noted that Angelina either went up a cup size or two (?), or she’s still having some swelling from the operation, because she looks noticeably bigger in the boob department. I tend to think that it’s swelling from the surgery, and that her implants haven’t “settled” yet. But Star Mag says that Angelina’s implants are getting to be really uncomfortable, and she regrets getting them so quickly after her mastectomy:
Angelina Jolie has been tired, tense and in considerable pain as she copes with what she fears may be complications from her recent breast reconstruction surgery.
“Angie’s new breasts are uncomfortable and painful and they’re driving her crazy,” says a source close to Angelina. While most women wait several months a year after a mastectomy before undergoing breast reconstruction, Angelina went through hers almost immediately, completely the surgery six months ago.
“She did all the research, and she knew it was tricky to get implants so soon after the mastectomy. She’s not worried about cancer anymore, but her new fear is that she rushed into getting implants and there is a chance of infection.”
Because of her upper-body discomfort and serious back and shoulder pain, Angie is concerned that the implants might be leaking, the source tells Star. “Her new breasts look great, but they’ve been giving her problems so of course now she’s questioning everything.”
Angelina wishes she’d heeded doctors’ warning and waited for the reconstructive surgery. “She feels like she opted for surgery without thinking it through. She thinks she didn’t listen to the best advice, and she’s really regretting it. She doesn’t want to make an issue about her implants, because she knows it will make headlines. But she is seeing her doctors and voicing her concerns.”
[From Star Magazine, print edition]
Quite honestly, Angelina boobs do look uncomfortable. They look bigger than before, and I bet her back and shoulders are killing her. Help me out, ladies who have had reconstructive surgery: do doctors advise women to stay with the same basic size they had before? I really don’t see how Angelina would have gotten a C-cup implant (didn’t she used to be a C?) and that they would look like this. I kind of wonder if Brad asked her to get a D-cup or something larger and with the swelling, they’re just extra big.
Also – I thought there were so many advances in implant technology that very, very few implants leak now? Is that not right? Do they still leak? Ugh.
Last thing – Entertainment Weekly has exclusive first shots of Angelina in Australia as she directs Unbroken – go here to see.

Why wouldn’t you listen to the doctor’s recommendations? I just don’t understand this. And the scary thing is if she is in pain then she probably has to take painkillers which can lead people back into addiction.
Do you mean she didn’t listen? Or are you saying she should have listened? Doctors aren’t infallible. They make mistakes all the time. Often, they give contradictory advice. She might have listened to one doctor instead of another doctor.
Doctors do not make mistakes ALL the time. Angelina made her own choices with the information she was given. I doubt this story is even true. Her frame is so tiny it may be a little harder to carry those jugs around. She looks pretty content in these pictures
A women who went thru in vitro just because she couldn’t be bothered to get pregnant naturally (this is not a slam to people who NEED in vitro, she and Brad did not) didn’t bother to listen to her doctors? Not really surprising. She is a huge celebrity. She wants what she wants when she wants it has plenty of yes (wo)men around her to validate the behavior, even when it would be ridiculous by any moderately normal standard.
Wow, you have an amazing insight into both her mind and her uterus!
Besides the fact that Angelina already said in Vogue (I think) that that rumor wasn’t true, how on earth would you or anyone else know that she had in vitro?
I think we’ve already established that tabloids are, for the most part bs.
Wow its sad what rubbish gullible people believe. She never went in vitro. She got pregnant naturally with Shiloh and the twins. This was cleared up a long time ago. When her partner is BRAD PITT, *why* wouldn’t she want to get pregnant naturally? You’re clearly a Jenloonie who doesn’t want to believe Angelina and Brad would want to sleep together. And people only use in vitro if they can’t get pregnant naturally. Clearly that was not the case with her as she fell pregnant easily with Shiloh. Sorry but she never used in vitro. Put down the tabloids and use your brain. Wow I feel so sorry for some people. o_o
I thought maybe the twins were from fertility drugs, not in vitro. No reason to think this though, only speculation on my part
I find it hard to believe that anyone would go through in vitro if they can get pregnant naturally. Although I am not a huge fan of Angelina Jolie, you really have no business judging how or why she became pregnant. The fact is, that none of us know.
@Jesusia, who wrote: Although I am not a huge fan of Angelina Jolie, you really have no business judging how or why she became pregnant. The fact is, that none of us know.”
Yes, we ‘do’ know. Angelina Jolie told us in the August 2008 “People” magazine ‘Twins’ pictures’ cover edition. The Jolie-Pitts were interviewed in the picture spread as well. The “People” interviewer specifically asked about the rumors that she and Brad had ‘help’ conceiving the twins through in vitro fertilization. Angie said that she and Brad didn’t need any help conceiving the twins, but if they ‘had’ they would have spoken about it openly . Unfortunately, I couldn’t find the original August 2008 “People” magazine interview (People.com said the interview was unavailable), but it was covered by SO many magazines and news outlets, I had no problem finding a report on the “People” magazine spread and Angie’s DENIAL of using in vitro fertilization. Which begs the question of ‘why’ people here are still claiming that the Jolie-Pitts used in vitro, doesn’t it? Here is the “Huffington Post” online coverage of the 2008 “People” magazine twins edition with Angie’s in vitro denial:

Back into addiction? She never left…
Er, she never had an addiction…..!

A good doctor will go by your body type and size.I have implants from reconstructive surgery and they don’t hurt or uncomfortable.But my doctor made sure I was the same size as before.
That’s too bad. She needs support for girls that big though.
Agreed. She needs to wear a bra. Although it’s hard to find a NON-wire bra in larger sizes, and that’s what the doctors’ recommend.
I had reconstructive surgery because I had part of one breast removed and was lopsided. Because I still have most of my own breast, I went with saline implants placed behind the muscle. I also got the smallest implant they make for my other breast, to help make them the same shape. I didn’t want one round breast and one ski slope.
Anyway, even though my implants are small, I can feel them every minute of the day and at night. I don’t know how women who get big implants can stand it. It’s like having water balloons stapled to my chest, that are two different sizes. I would think it feels even worse if you only have skin over the implants and not breast and muscle like I do.
No it isn’t! Most surgeons, if not ALL, after reconstructive surgery or, breast argumentation, will put you in a bra immediately after surgery. As in, before they roll you into the recovery room. They also tell you how long before you can go WITHOUT a bra.
–
Her new set,are entirely to big for her body, and appear to be a tad wonky in the nipple department! The swelling should have totally subsided by now! What we see, is what it is.
After I got implants it was so very painful to say the least. I couldn’t even bend over to tie my shoes. It felt as if my skin on my back would rip open. I had mine just to boost my A cup to a B. Back then I was a tiny little thing only 105 lbs. it was awful and it did take awhile to heal. It takes time to streatch the skin. Hope all is well with Angelina.
Liz your right.They put you in a compression bra and you have to wear it 24 seven until your doctor tells you it is okay.I don’t know about that story because after all this time she should not be at risk for infection.They give you antibiotics before and after your surgery.
Her natural boob size was always hovering somewhere around a D or bigger. No matter how thin she got. She probably thought it was better to stick with that size, but I don’t know…
her natural boob size is actually b or c. it’s just her ribcage is that wide. it gives her illusion of a bigger sized chest. did you watch mr and mrs smith? it’s pretty obvious in the movie that she used to be b. and after pregnancies her breasts grew larger.
She said herself that she was C cup while promoting Lara Croft. They made her breasts look like she was a D cup and she was explaining it was just padding.
C cup is still large breasts for a skinny frame.
I agree with Cs Angie was a large B or small C cup. Do you guys remember Gia and the full frontal; they weren’t that large.
She should have heed the docs advice. My coworker went through the same treatment years before Jolie and docs have to give you these injection that assist in growing the fatty tissue back before they insert the implants. That takes about at least six months.
BTW Kaiser to answer your question implants can still leak but have been improved. That’s why some docs recommend saline filled implants because the body already has salt in it and it wouldn’t be as harmful. There are still risks because the shell is made of silicone. However most women prefer the silicone filling because they are more natural feeling and softer than the saline filled breast. Silcone filled implants are the ones that caused damaged to most women because unlike saline it’s very harmful when leaked into the body.
Angie looks like she had her implants positioned in front of the chest wall muscle as opposed to behind it which sometimes gives an unnatural look. I know a lot about this because I spent about 7 years around fake breast and I have gone with a few ladies for their consultation s as well as the surgeries. Angie boobs should drop in about another 3 or 4 months but they are not going to be that much smaller but the shape will change a bit to look more flattering. Those nipples are going to remain like headlights, another sign that she went above the chest wall muscle with barely any fatty tissue to assist. That’s why she should have waited. It’s like an A cup transitioning to a D, there’s not much fat to make the transition more comfortable.
I think Angie has had implants for yearssss…that many don’t know her ‘original’ boob size. I highly doubt her small frame carried a perky C cup prior to implants. If I was a betting woman, I’d think she was a B. Either way, what she has now is waaaay too big to carry as she has gotten slimmer as she’s aged. I’m surprised she isn’t leaning forward when she stands or walks. Time to go smaller …. it will look more proportionate with her frame!
I don’t think she ever had breast implants. If you ever looked at her modeling pics at age 15 she was well developed in the breast area.
She’s one of those girls you hated in JHS because they were already developed. She reminds me of my cousin. A skinny Minnie at 5’7 with C cup breasts and weighed about 115lbs. Of course, all boys thought she was hottest thing.
Actually, her breasts were always changing a lot–in 2006 when she got rather emaciated they were a lot smaller than they had been, when she was more curvy around the Lara Croft movies you can see (in candid photos of her out and about) that they were bigger, and when she was pregnant and breastfeeding they were bigger. But when she got thinner they would be smaller. So I don’t think she had implants.
There are actually many women who are smaller framed and have larger breasts. My daughter is 105 lbs and wears a 28 G. I assure you that I have not taken my teen to get implants, despite the accusations of so-called friends.
We definitely weren’t seeing the same thing! She was NO size “D” cup…and I would know since I used to work in a shop that specialized in bra’s for women who’d had breast surgery. She’s as thin as a rail…but what I remember of her in pictures…she looked to be a droopy “B” cup. Nowhere near a “D”… I’ll assume after childbirth..she may have lost even some of that and the perky factor was gone for good. In her profession…it probably was a vanity call…and she opted for bigger ASAP. I tend to think this whole assumption she’s in pain…is bogus. It’s more celeb gossip based on nothing.
I think the whole mastectomy and reconstructive surgery was a vanity call entirely. She has gone years being fancied for her big breasts and small frame. After children, and especially breastfeeding, the breasts begin to sag. She was no longer going to have the perky breasts of a young woman after children. She took so much flack for getting the nose surgery, she just found the next best thing to getting a boob job without being ousted…become a heroine. She has the history to pull it off and it was for a “good cause” No one thinks she is bad now for getting a boob job. You see how quickly she jumped to going bra-less.
Angie has always been big breasted as seen in her shots when she was a teenager. She had to have been a d before the operation because I am a perfect c, and I was never as big as Angie was before her operation. I think something went wrong , she probably put in the same size but if the swelling is not going now normally as it should something went wrong, infection perhaps especially if they are hard to touch.
They look way to big for her. I wonder if she can remove them and get smaller ones.
No wonder she’s uncomfortable – get a bra, woman!
Don’t know it the story is true, but I thought from the beginning her implants looked too big. Perhaps she really is just a C cup but she is so thin, her limbs are so slender the breasts look out of proportion. I was watching Tomb Raiders and she looked great at that weight.
She look so much bigger than a C cup only because she’s so thin. I wish she would gain some weight back. If her breasts are really bothering her she needs to go to a B cup. I do know someone who had implants and she said you have to massage them every night for months to help with the scar tissue and to help them settle.
Exactly, she was perfect in tomb raider, like really really perfect. Now she’s painfully thin, it’s just not looking good, those arms are so freakishly small, it looks unhealthy.
But fot those movies she was on a special diet to make her bigger, and had to hit the gym. She explained how as soon she stopped doing all that, her body went back to her original thinner frame.
Some people are like that, this is bordering in body shaming.
Some people look great thinner, but cannot keep the weight off for long, and that for AJ, is the reverse. Being bigger is unnatural for her body.
Don’t know if implants/pain story is true but she didn’t have preventive mastectomy. She had breast cancer. Had to go public with some story because it was about to leak. (pardon the pun). Media went along with her version.
pmsl F5 you’re a nut. If she had cancer she would have told us, it would have garnered more sympathy. She did not have cancer. She had a preventative mastectomy, as her DOCTORS said on that site, unless you think the doctors are lying? pmsl
She should call to Suzanne Somers before she decided to get those implants. And yes. Her boobs look bad. She is too skinny to have that size.
I’m no expert but with that very hard, torpedo shape they have, it looks like swelling to me. I doubt she would go noticeably larger and there’s something about them that just looks painful and uncomfortable. I can understand why she got them so quickly–can you imagine all the gross paps tripping over each other to get pics of Angelina without breasts? I’m sure that would have been awful for her–for anyone. I hope that she is able to get help and heal quickly.
She didn’t need to get them so quickly. Surgeons can put sizers in, esp on smaller women. It is like an empty implant. They then add saline to them a little at a time so the skin mad muscle can stretch gently. Then you have the full implant after you’ve reached your desired size.
If she is in some pain, it is probably her back
You are adding weight to your body, weight on your shoulders and chest. It takes some time for your muscles to adjust to the extra weight, but they will. The most important thing is prop a pillow between them at night if you sleep on your side, they do hurt when they are pushed against each other. Maybe I just had a good doctor, but the minimal pain was worth the imporvement
improvement
Agree. I had mine done after breastfeeding two children for a combined total of 3 1/2 years. I went up from pre-pregnancy size of 32B to 32C. And no one, except for a few close friends, knows that I had work done. In other words, it’s possible to get a breast augmentation without them looking so obvious. It looks like Jolie went up SEVERAL cup sizes, which would be more painful.
And, yes, the newer silicone implants have “memory gel” inside which makes them unlikely to leak. And when they drop, they look totally natural. Jolie’s haven’t dropped yet. It can take a year or two.
Okay, I’m done educating the masses about breast implants… 🙂
Yeah, they probably still need to drop. When my cousin got breast implants they looked like swollen torpedoes for close to a year (and I think she only went up a cup size-they weren’t large implants).
We hace to keep in mind that she does not have breast tissue to soften the look of her implants. Implants in regular women do look different and even seem different as one gets chubbier or thinner, but here is different.
Referring to Patricia’s comment below. ITA.
People do not understand that reconstructive surgery is not like implants. It’s “reconstructing” from what is left after a life-saving removal of a body part. I’m sensitive to this issue because my mother had the same surgery. Her breasts are far from perfect, the dr.s work with what they have but it’s not cosmetic surgery. My mom has had years of body issues trying to accept her new chest. She felt mutilated and I can’t imagine how much harder it would have been if the world was watching.
I totally get that we comment on body parts here. However I wish the media would leave Angelina alone about this. She literally lost a body part, she did not just have an implant popped in. That’s why they look somewhat odd and not settled. And she did what she felt she had to do, as far as getting the surgery right away. There is no play book for this.
Well said
Patricia
You nailed it.
I agree with everything said, it was said so eloquently.
I understand what you are saying, I too have a member who had breast cancer. I think Angelina should’ve had her surgery and then waited for her body to heal from that before she did anything. Because she’s in the public eye, she probably felt she couldn’t.
Well said – and I hope your mom feels better. Something like this shouldn’t make someone feel mutilated, and it’s a shame that a lot of women do afterwards.
Totally agree. Great post.
Thank you Patricia!
Not to point out the obvious, but Jolie made a point of letting the media know about it. You can hardly blame them now for commenting on it.
I don’t think it’s swelling that are making them look like that. Very simply, if they’ve removed all of your breast tissue, what exactly is there left to swell and stay swollen 9 or 10 months later? And why would any doctor in his right mind insert implants before the trauma has healed? Plus, wouldn’t there have been some sign of that on her arms / lymph node areas at the WWZ london premiere way back in the spring?
I have a friend who had a mastectomy a few years back and who had her breast reconstructed with her own body fat. For obvious reasons, it looks completely natural. I’m kind of surprised that Jolie didn’t go this route actually. Granted, she doesn’t have much body fat to spare, but since the surgery wasn’t a “do this instant or die” situation, it might have been worth thinking of to pack on 20lbs to give herself the option.
That particular surgery, often referred to as a tram-flap, has a very long recoup time with a higher rate of post-op infection. It also leaves torso scarring if the fat is taken from the belly, but you do get a “free” tummy tuck. If the fat comes from the back, scarring will be noticeable & diverting muscle from around the shoulder blades leaves the back permanently weaker.
The context and reasoning for her being up-front about it was to share a personal story about something that too many women in this country face, in hopes of educating the public and providing some solace for others. I think she made that very clear in the graceful way that she spoke about her experience.
I doubt she thought there would be entire blog posts dedicated to analyzing her breasts, cup size, shape and whether she had implants before she had her mastectomy.
Issuing a statement to the public is one thing, I don’t think her intention was to have an ongoing discussion in the media about something extraordinarily personal.
Really, just because you *can* talk about a woman’s breasts post-mastectomy doesn’t mean you *should*.
My opinion: to do so is just f*cking tacky as hell, man.
EDIT: and I’m not talking about the cancer survivors here who are sharing their personal experiences– THAT I support.
@taxi: maybe the Europeans have a less invasive procedure. My friend did not have extensive scarring on her belly, no more than one would get from Lipo.
@kitten: it doesn’t really matter what context her disclosure was made in. I’m not making a judgement call here. My point is simply that as a celebrity, once you put it out there in the public, people will talk about it in whichever way they care to, it’s no longer only your own. She’s been around the block often enough that she’s more than aware of this and was when she chose to make it public.
Well said.
I agree with the commenter earlier who said she probably had them donw quickly to stop the paps falling over each other to get a photo of her without breasts.
She did well to talk about it in the way she did. It was subtle. (initially at least)
Well said.. I wasn’t going to comment until someone that actually knew of someone or had this surgery done.
Thank you.
Right on sis.One of the best comments I’ve seen on Celebitchy.
Wait…it wasn’t “life-saving.” She did not have cancer. She had pre-emptive removal of her breasts by choice.
I call bullshit on all of this. She is WAY to private of a person to be discussing this with the public or anyone close that would leak it. This whole story is made up I bet. And I highly doubt she would risk her health for implants and go against doctors orders. She loves her family too much to risk her health.
Ya, the story’s fake. I’m still scratching my head about her breasts. They really do look bigger than before, don’t they? It can’t be the swelling anymore, can it? And if it’s not swelling, why would she choose to go so big? She must have known it would look wrong. She’s never struck me as vain, either. Conundrum!
My sis had a double mastectomy and after healing, went through a SLOW process of stretching the skin incrementally by having the temporary implants ( for lack of a better term) slowly filled over many successive visits. Then there was a wait before the reconstruction of nipples and insertion of implants. I can only imagine how uncomfortable one would be should that procedure be expedited for public consumption. That’s too bad. Ouch.
Yes. This is how it’s usually done to prep for under- chest wall muscle implants. A pocket has to be created by slow stretching. I think AJ’s implants are on top. It would have been difficult/impossible to cram a big implant under unstretched muscle.
Agree taxi
I had sizers and my implants were filled beyond what I normally was (C-D cup). When I went to get my final ones, I opted for a smaller bra size. More than likely, Angelina is going to have a smaller implant. What people fail to understand is the fact that you’re never really comfortable with your implants. You learn to live with the little aches, pinching and so forth.
Yes – they are called sizers. They help to slowly stretch the skin and muscle .
I’m O,O at those big ropy veins in her arms.
Wish her well, her first image (face profile) reminds me of Lara croft.
I understand why she decided to have the reconstructive surgery as soon as possible after the mastectomy, because the paps would have made her life miserable if she was without breasts for any length of time. However, I have no doubt that it is very painful. My mother had implants (going from an A to a C), and I had a breast reduction when I was 18 (going from a DD to a C), and both were painful with a significant recovery time; this is nothing compared to what she had, of course. I’m sure that the recovery time is substantial, because her surgeries were substantial.
I’m sorry, but if she was trying to be an example for women then why are breasts that important in the first place. They are for feeding your children, and if she is finished feeding her children, then why could she not wait longer for the implants? Also, what is she saying to women who were born with A cups? That they are hideous and cannot be seen in public?
How did star know this when she is in Australia I guess their sources are in Australia too. I wish her well I know its not an easy situation most especially when you have the whole world watching you and judging your every action. Am glad people with actual experience are talking and educating us on this site.. So many people fail to note that a reconstruction is totally different from a boob job..
Because she has boobs that look bigger than before, you think Brad asked her to get bigger ones? Okay there……..
Word
Yeah, I caught that too
Yeah, really?? Blame it on Brad???!!!! Angelina has an ego the size of a house, she’d go bigger because SHE wanted them.
Omg someone isn’t kissing his ass. Call the cops. I have no doubt he’s also the reason for her being so skeletal.
@LOL Let me tell something to you. I love Angie and I am a fan. Still I will call a spade a spade. The reason I first fell for Angie was because of her I don’t give a damn what you think about me attitude she used to have. I love how people on this site says Angie”s so private and Angie so this and that. It wasn’t that long ago that Angie was talking about how crazy she was, how she carried BB”s blood around in a vile and when asked at an award show when was the last time they had sex BB goes oh we f_ cked in the car ride over here and Angie nodded in agreement while laughing. This is the woman that is known for sleeping with her costars including Brad. This is a woman that was heavy into alcohol and drug use. She was considered one of the bad girls of Hollywood.
Yes she made amendment s to her life through her kids, many charitable events and causes. She might be a private person now because its not just about her any longer she has her kids to consider. But I believe Angie still has a lot of coo coo in her but she keeps it on the low. And yes I agree she most likely does have an ago the size of a house, a 20 million dollar house. If her boobs are that size it’s because that’s the size she wanted. I don’t understand why fanatics put this woman on Mother Teresa’s level. It’s like she’s untouchable when it comes to gossip. She is not exempt from criticism folks. I love Angie and I know she still got some crazy in her.
BTW it’s great that she shared her recent personal medical issues with us and shed more light on the subject. But what has she really done to actually help make it affordable to those who can’t afford it. I haven’t heard a peep from her about it since. I asked this because a lot of people were saying that she came out about it to give other women some comfort as well to speak to the Health Care providers about making it affordable to other women.
V4real, I haven’t the slightest idea why you’re directing this comment at me. I am a fan of Angelina’s who believes she did have an affair with a cheating Pittstain and I know that she was a drug addict. The thing is I am not going to think she is evil for those things. She is human which is why I believe she does certain things to please Pittstain. She is not the super strong woman that does whatever she wants without think about what pittstain wants. For example she admitted that she let her dad back into her life because it was best for her family.
If you were truly honest you would admit that you are not an angelina fan but a brangelina /pittstain fan.
@Lol I apologize that was my poor attempt at humor. I was trying to mimic Ramon ftom Happy Feet in that first sentence. I replied to your comment because you said finally someone who isn’t kissing Brad’s ass. So I was wondering why is it when someone say something negative about Angie they are labeled as an Angie hater or not a fan just like you did with me. Why is this woman treated like she’s a God. Are you telling me I can’t say anything bad about Angie b/c if I do I’m not a fan or I’m saying she’s evil. This is a gossip entertainment site and people have opinion s about every celeb featured, good or bad. Why is Angie exempt from the negative comments. You don’t know me and can’t tell me who I am or not a fan of. I am a Jolie fan but yes I think she’s to thin and I agree with people who say she has had work done on her face. I have many celebs that I adore but that doesn’t make them exempt from me saying something negative about them, Jolie included. I don’t play that Team Jolie/ Team Anniston game. Im not a fan of Anniston at all if you’ve seen any of my comments about her. Yet you accuse me of that. What does that say about you and your character? Maybe I should have responded like this. Why is it that people get so upset when others make negative comments about Angie moreso than any othet celeb? Explain that.
Oh please, you can say whatever you want about Angelina but don’t get butt hurt when someone makes a negative comment about pittstain. Remember you’re the one that came at my comment first. I never even brought up aniston. Wtf?
Angelina has been portrayed as the evil monster for so long now and she doesn’t have a problem with it so why should I ?
As I said before Angelina is human, she is not perfect. I as a fan accept that. You are not talking to a typical Brange fan with rose colored glasses that thinks these celebs walk on water. I am very aware of Angelina’s past and I don’t really care what you think about her. As a matter of fact it makes her more interesting to me.
Pittstain is the one treated like a saint and if you dare say one negative thing about him brangelina fans like you will attack.
I too think she’s too thin but I think Pittstain is the reason for it because he likes skinny women.
I know you’re a brange/pittstain fan because of your reaction to my comment about him and your comments about jolie 🙂 duh.
Keep it real, sis. Like me. I’m an Angelina fan. I can’t stand brangelina and I think pittstain sucks.
‘Lol’, like v4real is just an Anistonloon posing as an Angelina fan. They’ve been around a while on a couple of boards, whamo I think was one of their first incarnations. No one who is a fan believes in the debunked affair, nor do they go on about the ‘vile’ of blood btw, it wasn’t a vial, it was a tiny pinprick in the centre of a pendant. I’ve never known a fan to go on about the so-called vial and talking about beeping in the limo, only haters drag those 2 things up. Seriously, you 2 are as bad as each other. It always amuses me that Anistonloonies come on here posing as an Angelina fan when they are not even making a half-arsed attempt to hide their true intentions. Seriously guys, over the years I’ve seen probably a dozen or more people say they are Angelina fans and then launch into the pro forma vial, brother kissing, limo, affair, addict rah rah rah etc rubbish that ONLY haters go on about. But then their true colours eventually come out. They cannot keep the act going for too long in an atmosphere like this. Give it up. Both of you. Let me clue you in: NO ONE believes you.
@Sal …
Agreed. This must have been the ‘Talking Points-Let’s Use Our Aliases Today, Pretend to be Fans of Angie’s and do that Underhanded Passive-Aggressive Slam Thing We Do So Well’ day.
Ladies … we see right through this crap every time you do it … so why bother?
@Sal – you are a nutcase.
Far from it ‘Margsy’ or whoever you are posting under now. Everything I’ve said is true and the facts are there, so it really burns you Jenloonies that I see right through you, doesn’t it? So the only way to obfuscate that is to call me names. You’re the nutcase. You’re pathetic.
@ Sal-
Good points, Sal, per usual.
If she got saline implants (BAD idea), then, yes, they would leak. New gel silicone implants are very cohesive and stay put, even if the shell ruptures. It’s not like the old silicone that would start bleeding out and leaking through your breast tissue. Also, implants don’t come in C or D cup sizes, etc. They are measured by volume in CCs, so it’s hard to predict what cup size a woman will be after the surgery. They may have over-estimated, or her implants simply may not have settled yet. Also, saline implants are rather heavy, but silicone gel implants are pretty light-weight, and I can’t imagine implants the size of hers would hurt her back and shoulders (very huge implants do this, not anything in the B, C or D range, unless they’re Courtney Stoddard DDs). I would be surprised if she got saline implants, since they are awful, 60 or 70 year old technology and will inevitably rupture, leak and develop problems. I had a simple breast augmentation (2 actually; they have a lifespan of about ten years. I got the first in college, which is a decison I would not have made when I was older and smarter but now have to live with. I got a replacement from saline to silicone after about ten years because one had developed a microscopic leak and was slowly deflating). I have never had breast reconstructive surgery, so perhaps she is simply healing slowly and needs to be patient and give her body time to recover. Jet-setting around the globe, being involved in numerous professional and philanthropic endeavors and caring for six children are probably having a major effect on how her body is coping with the trauma it underwent. On the other hand, some women just don’t respond well to implants, find them painful regardless of the size and get them removed (for instance, Heather Morris of Glee fame. Her implants were actually quite modest in size, no more than a small C.) Everyone is different, and everyone’s body responds differently. And as for Talie’s claim that her natural breasts were a D, they were not. Angelina Jolie actually spoke openly about her breast size in interviews during her Tomb Raider days and admitted she was naturally a C. She wore prosthetic breasts to play the role in Tomb Raider (common devices worn for cosmetic purposes, on film sets, and by women who have had mastecomies) because the character is supposed to be very voluptuous. Her nude or semi-nude scenes confirm that her natural breasts were not huge and were better proportioned to her size than these implants.
Yeah, only sailine implants leak these days. The silicone ones are solid straight through.
Why are you saying saline implants are bad? Maybe you did not like them, but they certainly are not bad. Be careful about giving false medical advice-your opinion is fine
This “report” is BS. She would never release her private thoughts to the public.
IA that it’s kind of icky that ppl are bashing her over this. Do you honestly think Angelina wanted to remove all her natural breast tissue and have nothing but implants her entire life? I admire her, but I really feel for her when it comes to her mastectomy. It’s a horrible decision to make, no matter how you slice it.
Saying that, I think she’s a C cup and so she got a C cup implant, but C cups in plastic form/shape don’t look like natural C cups. They’re gonna appear a lot bigger in real life. And remember, she had two pregnancies and breast fed three babies, AND she never got a breast lift. So her natural c cups weren’t nearly as perky and round as the new implants are now. So, yes, it’s a drastic difference appearance wise.
If they look unnatural, um, it’s b/c THEY ARE. Maybe they’ll settle or maybe she’ll redo them, etc. But why gossip about it so much? I think it’s cruel. If it’s anyone’s concern, it’s hers and her doctors.
I hope for her sake they really aren’t bothering her and she’s able to go throughout her days relatively pain free. She’s such a trooper. Idk what I would’ve done if in her shoes. Man…
+1000000 to everything you said.
I love everything you said.
That’s what I think, and I’m not going to comment or speculate on her breasts any more. I find it funny and sad, that THIS is what everyone is focusing on, in every single one of her posts that we get. This woman IS more than her breasts. If it had been anyone else who’d gotten both breast removed, I highly doubt we’d even get most of the same comments.
I truly don’t think her breasts look any different today than they did years ago. Speaking of which, here is a link to the Marie Claire ‘Angelina Jolie’s Red Carpet Retrospective’ and see just how busty she was and it today by clicking through the ‘retrospective:’
http://www.marieclaire.com/celebrity-lifestyle/celebrities/angelina-jolie-style#slide-1
@JP lover her boobs in that dressed has been pushed up and taped to look like that. Paris Hilton had the same effect when she wore a simlar dress. People thought she had a boob job.
People are going to fixate over her breast because she’s a big star who went public about it. Now I guess you understand how Fassy feel about people fixating over his dong. After tbey tire of her boobs it will be about something eles. Maybe they will revisit Brad and her wedding again.
@V4Real, who wrote: “@JP lover her boobs in that dressed has been pushed up and taped to look like that. Paris Hilton had the same effect when she wore a simlar dress. People thought she had a boob job.”
‘That dress?’ … there are 20 pictures of Angie in Red Carpet dresses via that link. You have to actually ‘click’ the arrow at the upper right-hand side of the picture to advance to the next picture. The dresses were all different. Some were high neck, long sleeve dresses that she wouldn’t have had to be ‘taped’ into. The woman has always had ample (if not ‘overly’ ample) breasts.
Sorry JP Lover I did glance through, I just commented on the first but that doesn’t change my mind. All thoses dresses can be altered in a way to add or reduce cleavage. Angie was never anything more than a C cup no matter how many pics are posted. Watch the movie Gia again, she was nevera D and special equipment was used to give her large boobs in Tomb Raider to match the size of the character she was portraying. Why would you ever think she wanted those horrible pointed boobs she had in Tomb Raider.
@V4Real, who wrote: “Sorry JP Lover I did glance through, I just commented on the first but that doesn’t change my mind. All thoses dresses can be altered in a way to add or reduce cleavage.”
Not even ‘this’ one from 2004, where you can certainly see she isn’t ‘taped’ and her breasts look like that do now?
http://www.marieclaire.com/celebrity-lifestyle/celebrities/angelina-jolie-style#slide-4
or ‘this’ one?
http://www.marieclaire.com/celebrity-lifestyle/celebrities/angelina-jolie-style#slide-18
I don’t believe you “glance through” at all. And I’d love to know what your ‘other’ aliases are.
I agree, I’m not an Angie fan, but the fixation over her chest since this surgery is just creepy, whether this story is true, untrue, kinda, sorta true, whatever.
She should have waited for the reconstruction. It was silly to defy doc advice for cosmetic purposes. If she felt too self-conscious to go around wirthout boobs for afew months, she could have delayed the anmouncement until after the implants and worn padding.
I dont believe this story. I have two friends that had reconstructive surgery immediately following the removal of their breasts. It was painful at the time and took awhile for them to settle but they look great. I’m sure Angie’s do too despite looking a little on the large side. Maybe she wanted them that way!
Who is the close source talking to ‘Star’? Stephen Huvane?
Exactly. Pathetic.
The Star story doesn’t sound anything like her.
The boobs don’t look good. I’ve been loathe to criticize her on this at all because of the cancer thing, but the facts are staring the whole world in the face: the boobs look bad. The nipples are on perpetual salute, the implants look unnaturally hard and round, and the size she chose is RIDICULOUS for her semi-emaciated frame. She should have gone for a B cup (even though that wasn’t her breast size before, SHE chooses to not to eat so the least she could do is make herself more proportional) and for softer implants.
About the ‘perpetual salute’, I read in an article from the daily beast-
“Nipples may remain intact during implant mastectomies, but they don’t retain nerve endings.
In other words, they’re still there, but the only function they serve is cosmetic.
“These nipples don’t stand up when it’s cold and they don’t respond to arousal,” says Dr. Judy Garber, the director of the Center for Genetics and Prevention at the Dana Farber Cancer Institute in Boston. “Losing all feeling in your breasts is a big trade-off for a lot of women. Many with a faulty version of either the BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene won’t get a mastectomy no matter what you tell them.”
So it sounds like she had them altered to create this affect on purpose…..
@Lucy, who wrote: ““Nipples may remain intact during implant mastectomies, but they don’t retain nerve endings.”
But Angie explained in her interview on the subject that she wanted to keep and retain feeling in her nipples, so she endure an extremely painful procedure that keep blood flow to her nipples during the procedure. You can go back through the “Celebitchy” archive and read Angie’s article yourself. She explains exactly what she had done.
The chance of her maintaining sensation is apparently very, very low.
Nipple delay is done to prevent the nipple dying completely, and having to make a whole new one, not to maintain feeling.
From what I read here, it’s a very uncommon procedure, and is mostly done for people who have had previous breast work done.

Maureen
she has no breast tissue left to soften the impact of her implants. no fatty tissue, no muscle-it’s all gone. any amount of implant is going to look hard and unnatural because she cannot do under the muscle implants, which look softer due to the fat and muscle on top. it’s really silly to continue body-shaming her.
@ bros
Spare me the manufactured PC censorship speech (i.e. use of phrases such as “body shaming”), okay? People can discuss this topic like mature adults without the Thought Policing, thank you very very much.
Despite your use of rhetoric designed to control my speech/ideas/opinions, you have made a good point about the medical aspect of these types of surgeries. However, as I already said, no one made her choose the size of implants she chose. In fact, it seems to me that based on what you have said a smaller implant would have made more sense in the first place.
After my mastectomy I had reconstruction surgery & I had to wear a very tight compression bra for 3-6 months. My Dr says not a lot of women wear it longer than 4-6 weeks but if I can hang in there for the duration, that my results would be better. I did, and I am very happy. I highly doubt she did this as her chest looks hard (exactly what my Dr said would happen). I practically lived in turtle necks even during the summer! You even sleep with the bra on.
If she found them really uncomfortable, she’d be wearing a bra.
Not really. Maybe later she would but after surgery from a regular implant I couldn’t wear a bra for 6 months. It was too comfortable.
Later yes, I did and they were still too big, too high and I had to have them redone smaller and lower.
I question why she would still be waiting for swelling to go down after over 6mths? Most implants drop within a few months, not years. Maybe up to a year but thats the exception not the rule.
Also there is no swelling that goes on years later. Unless it is connected to her other surgeries then I guess so? Others would have to chime in on that as I just had implants and a lift.
And a size d in real boob is much different than implant size d ( for example). Hers look like high profile. I hated my high profiles, they only looked awesome when I went braless or was naked. I looked ridiculous in clothes. The no wearing bra freedom joy lasted less than a year. I wanted regular boobs back.
I don’t believe this story at all. The rags are just making this up because it is obvious that AJ chose a breast size that is far too large for her skeletal frame. Also, the supposed statement of not being afraid of cancer anymore sounds off. To not be afraid, she would have to have her ovaries removed as well, as that is the biggest risk. The best thing she could do is wear a bra if they are hurting & she obviously is not, which also leads me to believe this story is false. Anyway I look at this her boobs look horrible…not to mention those arms.
Yes because Anistonloons like you always want to believe Angelina DELIBERATELY chose something like this and refuse to believe there might be swelling or pain. She looks good. Seriously, grow up and get help for your hatred of a woman that has never done anything to hurt anyone.
I had my breasts done a few years ago (just normal vanity surgery, no reconstruction) and I will say I was pretty uncomfortable for about 5 or 6 months afterwards. Not painful but it just didn’t feel right unless I had them bundled up tightly in a secure bra. Maybe that’s parts of her problem? Just wear a sorts bra and wait it out as long as the doctor says there’s nothing physically wrong going on.
Reconstruction sucks. Everybody thinks it’s as easy as implants: it’s not.
My mum had breast cancer three times. Had two lumpectomies -first two illnesses, then full mastectomy at the age of 69. She almost died because of internal hemmorraging. Breast cancer is so much worse than anyone could imagine. I would take my mum to chemo and radiation treatments and most of the women were there alone with no emotional support.
They would tell me how their husbands and boyfriends abandoned them and were repulsed by their mutilated breast(s). The ones that do get reconstructive surgery are just as depressed and disappointed with the surgery results.
I hope Angie is not suffering terrible pain and discomfort. All Angie wants to be is healthy, and watch her children grow up.
I had a friend many years ago whose husband was repulsed by her mastectomy. I felt so bad for her and I never had any respect for her husband again after that.
i’ve been thinking the whole time that ‘yikes they look uncomfortable’.
she may end up getting smaller ones. her boobs have never been this big,
not even in Gia. poor thing. 😕
Oh, and to answer your question: I asked for a C, and I ended up with a D. It took them a year to settle back to “C” but they don’t look like C to me, they just look wonky. The side where I still have breast tissue looks OK, but I hate my completely reconstructed side. I don’t understand what’s so hard about making a breast look like a breast but from what I’ve seen (and we breast cancer patients are always lifting our shirts to show each other) 🙂 man-made is always inferior to what God gave you. This kind of story makes me really glad I’m not famous. I’d never leave the house after my reconstruction if I knew everybody would be grading it.
It is painful to look at her breasts. They look like they are made of granite. I hope she gets everything settled though.
@TG, who wrote: It is painful to look at her breasts. They look like they are made of granite.”
I’m curious … when exactly did you ‘see’ her breasts? I don’t see them through her shirt, so how could ‘you’ see them and know what they look like?
** I’ve seen good implant jobs, mind you. But full reconstruction has a ways to go before they look like real breasts.
I bet some women never get used to implants, especially this big. When something foreign is inserted into a body — the body would naturally try to reject/eject the foreign object. Maybe some women’s bodies never stop trying to reject the implant, so imagine if your body spent considerable time & energy going thru the rejection process. What a drain on your health & energy that would be.
In these pictures her whole upper body looks bigger than normal and her breasts do look quite swollen. If this is true it doesn’t surprise me because this is a woman who does what SHE wants and if she wanted the implants right away, no doctor on earth was going to get her to listen to reason and hold off.
This story is so dumb. She did not ask for her nipples to “stand at attention.” I had completely fake nipples made (from my own tissue) after double mastectomy just so my breasts would appear normal. It’s more of a psychological thing than anything else. Before nipple reconstruction they looked so weird it freaked me out. I also got tattooing to make it look like a real areola. It’s completely fake but my (new) husband thinks they look fantastic. It sucks that they have no sensation but it’s for cosmetic purposes only. I had a little belly fat so they used my own tissue to create the breasts immediately after my mastectomy. I’m lucky I hadn’t lost all my baby weigh so I didn’t need implants but I have a lot of scarring. The 14 hour surgery was brutal and recovery was rough. Four years later and sometimes they are still kind of numb.
I was under the impression from medical school that often women get their breast removed at the same time that reconstructive surgery happens. And I was told that the initial phase after reconstruction is very uncomfortable from a woman who had a double mastectomy and is still adjusting to her reconstructed breasts.
i read a news report a while back, about a hospital in one of the states, they say that at the hospital, they do mastectomy in one room, then the next room for reconstructive surgery in order to maximize capacity. does this mean that the patient does both the same time or just help the doctors in charge move around more efficiently (rather than having to cross several corridors to get to a different department for example)
Rule #1, don’t believe anything from Star.
She’s still in the recovery process and may not be finished with surgeries, or still experiencing swelling. Or maybe this is what she chose. I will say, based on the few photos here and my own experience of being larger chested, that I can imagine them being uncomfortable, especially on someone with her very thin frame.
I just have to say, even thought a woman gets a mastectomy, if she has the gene she STILL has a risk for cancer, ESPECIALLY IF YOU KEEP THE NIPS. It is a much less chance of cancer, but you still need mammograms per your doctors orders. I believe the risk for those with the gene that keep the nipples is about 15% (instead of about 3% if she would have not kept nipples).
She doesn’t look healthy at all. Not only are her breasts too big look at her arms and stature. From the neck down she looks like a much older person with fake boobs.
Her breasts don’t look great, they look very very tense and really painful. That certainly explain why the nipples are so visible. It must be so tense that she can only wear loose clothes and wearing a bra must be a torture.
Hi Ladies,
I’m facing a double mastectomy with reconstruction. I’ve learned allot of the timeline through my own consultations. The most aggressive timeline is 3 months for reconstruction. I read that lovely
Angie’s timeline was 9 weeks, making her timeline a tad aggressive, yet only 3 weeks. When you hear about 6 and 12 months delays it refers to the chemo (yikes), being factored in. For example. They expand your breast tissue for 3 months and then you have space for your permanent implants. However, the final surgery is delayed until a month after you finish chemo. Angie did not have chemo, so she was able to get her implants stat. Hope that helps. It’s a tough road.
I wish you all the best deanna!
I wish you all the luck in the world and then some.
Thanks Ladies, may I just say that when everyone weighs in on shape, size, et all of a breast cancer survivor…it does not matter what people think about the size appearance of the woman’s breast, it only matters that the trauma the woman feels is offset by having a semblance of a normal breast in place. Imagine in the past when one had to wear a padded bra forever and be embarrassed when undressing and not feeling “whole”. Jeez, I say what ever size, shape, and nipple makes one happy they should choose for oneself. Also, when people criticize Angie for going braless it makes me sad because perhaps no bra is more comfy while healing. (It’s a painful procedure).
Deanna, I can’t reply directly to your comment but please know I wish you all the best! HUGS!
Never mind her breasts, I’m more worried about her arms.
The arms are nothing new. Check her out in Mr. and Mrs. Smith. Same thin arms with the same huge veins.
Deanna am So very happy you shared your experience with us here.. I wish you all the best and I pray you come out of this stronger than ever!
If it’s swelling, which it shouldn’t be at this stage anyway unless something is wrong, she really should be wearing a compressure bra, as any movement would be extremely painful. That she isn’t, and hasn’t been since very early on would suggest she just went 2-3 cup sizes bigger. If that’s the case her skin will have had to stretch significantly, and that would be uncomfortable and is probably why she isn’t wearing a bra, her skin’s fragile and sensitive.
I think this whole story is crap. Her boobs hurting is not news. They need to just leave her alone on this one!
So we’re believing Star now? Seriously? Okay.
This is BS Star has NEVER written a true story about JPs but Im sure the people who despise her are hoping its true , wishing she is suffering, some are probably praying she gets cancer anyway despite surgery
What a horrible thing to say.
People have said much more horrible things about her than that.
Exactly. I have no doubt the Anistonloons on here would love it.
What the? You think people want her to get cancer? That is absolute crazy talk.
Yes, Aniston fans do. They’ve said it often enough.
Why so big? Can’t she get something more suitable for a bone thin woman? Like size A instead of D? Stupid…..
If Angelina down sized to an A cup after the removal of all breast tissue she’d have saggy skin. She was at least a C cup before the removal. Sounds like you have no idea what your talking about.
I have never had implants or any plastic surgery whatsoever but I have been sick in the past, and I just would never want to have another (especially unnecessary) surgery. Recovery is so painful and she looks pained to me in many photos. Best wishes for optimal health. REST, girl.
I hope she’s not suffering, that’s a raw deal after a mastectomy. I think she looks great in the picture with the tank top. Her breasts look awesome.
This is the most ridiculous article I’ve seen about AJ’s recon. I do breast recon as my specialty and we almost always recommend immediate reconstruction. There would never be any reason to delay reconstruction in a prophylactic mastectomy BRCA patient. That’s just nonsense. Essentially every assertion about the weight etc of implants is untrue in this article. Implants that rupture don’t “leak” anymore with silicone causing granulomas and pain, they are all cohesive gel. Good grief there is so much misinformation about breast implants and reconstruction out there it makes me crazy.
I’m wondering if the fact that she has zero visible fat is causing pain that would’ve been eased by the wonderful cushioning effect of body fat in the right places.
WEAR A BRA! I have yet to see her with a bra on since the surgery. It’s crazy.
She’s “edgy” and a “rebel”, doncha know? (/sarc)
She ‘was’ edgy and a rebel, doncha know? But that was before she adopted Maddox, grew the hell up, and found herself a good man to love (and be loved by).
On another note, she looks painfully thin. Her arm veins are bulging like crazy. How does she have any energy to run around with all these kids? So crazy.
I had breast augmentation over 20 years ago. I went from an A to a C cup size. I was a size 3 at the time.
My implants were placed behind the chest muscle. I experienced pain and swelling for months. I could not raise my elbow above my head for months, too much pain. I had a Double Lumen Reverse implant which was filled once inside my chest with saline, the implant had a silicone core. My implants have not leaked and I was able to nurse two babies born 5 & 7 years after the surgery.
Although I did not have a mastectomy before my operation, I would say what Angie is experiencing is normal part of the healing process.
I must be blind because she looks fine to me,especially in that photo where she’s wearing a gown and holding two kids.To those of you spending time critizing her breast and her body size why don’t you spend that time admiring your perfect bodies in the mirror or go shopping for new bras.
Amen to every word in your post.
I am a med/surgery/oncology RN and reconstruction can occur anytime after a mastectomy, including immediately as a two part surgery where the breast surgeon and plastic surgeon coordinates both procedures. Others can need expanders and get the impants within weeks to months later.
I think I read before that she said she had a breast enlargement for Lara Croft and got them removed after she finished shooting the movie.
http://www.thesuperficial.com/angelina-jolie-double-masectomy-05-2013
Never mind on my last comment. She did have a padded bra for the making of Lara Croft.
I know very little about any of this but it is quite possible Star Magazine heard the rumour from someone’s grandfather whose niece’s neighbors pharmacist heard Angie’s security guards son’s best friend say that the reconstruction hurts.
LMAO
They hurt and they are swollen for a very long time. It’s no joke. And it’s a major surgery – you feel it down to your bones – you’re tired, your hair starts falling out, you need to sleep, your body has no energy, all you want is to sleep and rest. You can’t move your hands too much, sleeping at night is hell. And everything hurts.
But in time these issues resolve. I sincerely hope that she feels better soon.
Cohesive silicone implants don’t leak. They were upgraded after the scandals of faulty implants several years back now. The shell of implants is not silicone, it’s elastomer which is a polymer and most likely what AJolie is having an allergic reaction to. Some of us who have that allergy can’t even use some cosmetics if it contains polymer, like anti-aging creams, certain sunblocks even Dior Mascara : (
Yowch! *grabs breasts*
I had a double mastectomy at 30. I went smaller because I had always had a big rack and it ruined the line of my clothes. You can go bigger or smaller, its up to the patient. I waited 2 years till I had reconstruction as I had 3 children and you cant lift your arms or do much. So you cant pick your babies up or hug them for quite a while.
What I dont get is her rush. .
Am glad for those people who are sharing their amazing stories and experiences with us here on this site but even with that some people are still ignorant and choose to bash and insult her simply because she is Angelina jolie! No one ever said she is a saint in fact that’s what the non fans call her. This woman is far from perfect and has never denied her past and that’s why she is who she is Today… I wish her all the best and I can’t wait to see her in front of the camera again.. And I hope she does some action I miss badass Angelina jolie..
Isn’t breast implants worked in CCs you can’t really plan a cup size. Personally she is way bigger than a D cup in reality a D cup with her back size would be tiny like a 30 D depending if you measure you back size 0+ or 4+ but using +4 tends to give you a back size way too big and a cup size too small. If she was a 36 D a 36 back size would be massive her on her frame there is no such thing as a solid C cup or D cup because the back sizes dictates the cup by using sister sizes she would be closer to a 30F (uk) but I still think she might be bigger than that. On a side note this wasn’t a purely cosmetic operation it seems wrong to throw shade at her.
I wish all insurance would cover elective mastectomies…..even if someone does not have the gene for breast cancer, there still may be a risk.
wear a bra, damn.
You can also get a TRAM. Which is when they use muscle and tissue from another part of the body (usually abdomen) to mold into a breast. I would do that. Id never get an implant
Eat a sandwich, wear a bra, next.
She is forever more successful and admired than you ‘armchair psycho’ can ever wish to be.
One of my girlfriends had a single mastectomy a few years ago. She’s very slim, maybe a size 4 or 6, but she had a little tummy fat. I would guess her original cup size is a D. The doctor told her to not lose any weight prior to the surgery and when he removed the breast he rebuilt it using fat from her tummy matching the other breast size perfectly, including the nipple size. She was told she could have the nipple tattoo’d in 6-12 months.
She showed me her breast prior to the tattoo and it is beautiful! I am so happy for her.
And since the doctor used her tummy fat, as she gains or loses weight, the new breast will mimic the other.
Good doctors recommend waiting a year after a mastectomy to get reconstruction, whether that includes implants or not. We do hear of many women having both procedures at the same time, but good doctors don’t do that, imo.
My mother had a muscle from her back pulled through to make her new breast a year after a radical mastectomy due to cancer, and she had problems with pain and limited movement for the rest of her life. I wish that her doctor had suggested an implant instead.
One reason she’s hurting so much is that she doesn’t appear to be wearing a bra. If she would wear a nice shaper, it would keep things in place and would be more comfortable for her breasts to settle. That would help distribute their weight and lessen back pain, too.
Yes, implants still can leak, depending upon what kind they are. They also are supposed to be replaced every 10 years or depending upon manufacturer recommendation. They are not a light decision, imo.
I won’t likely ever get implants, but I will get a “lift” if ever I feel I need one to be more comfortable later in life.
My 1st consult said reconstruct first, see how it settles, then do implants
2nd consult said, I’m hipper to new methods .do it altogether.
I went w the 2nd doc. The implants dropped to my waistline. I paid for them to be lifted.
They were uncomfortable and too big. Still drooping too! I told doc I’d wait a year then have them removed.
They burst!! My doc said I did it myself and refused a full refund to take out partially empty sacks. Nightmare and I.have huge scars.
I think that part of the reason her breasts look bigger is that she is in the habit of pushing back her shoulders for good posture when she knows cameras are on her. If you do that with implants, they really stick out, more so than natural breasts do. If you look at other pictures where she is not doing her strut, they look smaller and more natural. I don’t think she is going completely braless, I think she is wearing camisoles that have built in support, it’s just her nipples are always standing out now, I do feel sorry for her there.
Forgot to mention that I think the Star story is completely fake. The other day Heidi Montague was on Entertainment Tonight complaining of painful implants and they just took that information and applied it to Angie.
Jezebel said it great..
Elsewhere in the mag, the editors have concocted a story about Angelina Jolie’s post-mastectomy breast implants leaking and causing her pain.
In case you’d forgotten, Star is a garbage magazine filled with filth and sorrow.
sums it all up perfectly. But it’s Angie so it is believed. you would think at this point people would remember all the years of lies this mag has put out there.
I think a major point here is she did this as a preventative measure, so there was little reason for her to wait. No chemo or radition cycles to worry about. Depending on her recovery from her first procedure most likely dictated her next surgery plan.
As for the tram and flap type procedure, not everyone is a canidate for that type of procedure. Something else to remember is that its a longer recovery time. There are two surgery sites. I’ve seen patients with all different procedures for reconstruction and I am always weary of the tram procedure. Its a complicated surgery, and depending on the type of flap procedure you have it can be in for more surgical risks.
This website has more info if anyone is interested.

I’ve had D’s to DD’s since I was 10 so I’ve got my Masters Degree in big basombas. They are a b**ch. She’s little. She may have gotten them too big, and they could be placing a strain on her back and shoulders. It may get better as she gets used to it, or, she may need to go down a size. I’d love to get mine taken in. A C-cup would be awesome, like being in 4th grade again. Cute bras ooh!!
Why in the world would anyone believe this. Angie doesn’t look in pain to me. She is working on a film. She had/has the best doctors. If there was a problem it would not be in the news. She would take care of it like she has done with everything else, and nobody would know.
And all this talk about her not wearing a bra. She had a procedure/new procedure to save her nipples. She didn’t loose her nipples in the surgery like many women do. As a result of trying to keep blood flow to them they could be larger. She is thin but has always been so. Not even going to go into this. I think if a woman that was proactive regarding her health would be so if she was having problems.
as noted over and over again.. by her, brad and their doctors she didnt’ do this overnight. This was years in the making. She researched and did this when she wanted. So all the talk of her being impatient and not following Dr’s orders is dumb. Especially when her whole process was spelled out in detail on the Pink Lotus site. so Star once again knows shit.
OH what happened to that Kidney they said Angie was searching for.
yeah..
I am a bra fitting specialist & to me, she lookedlike a full 30/8D or 32/10C before her mastectomy. Doctor’s usually recommend only wearing wireless bras for up to 12 montgs after reconstructive surgery so I’m not surprised she looks uncomfortable.
woah- remember she did not have chemo or radiation, a reason why many would wait for reconstruction. Geez. Next thing you know we’ll have her medical records posted and reviewing her blood count.
Honestly she just needs to keep those things in the surgical compression bra for a bit longer. My doctor had me wear one for about a year before I was allowed to go without or wear underwire bras and such. In all those photos she has no bra on and I personally think they look strange. She’s so bony all over and those things are big and round. She definitely went up a size. You just have to do all the exercises they tell you to do dilligently and then wear the special bra. Oh and lots of massaging them….come on Brad…help a girl out! 😉
