    To each their own. If it makes you happy do it...if you don't want it...don't do it...but don't judge those who do. Why is anyone concerned with anyone elses body but their own...unless you are insecure...who cares? Miss Ms. or Mrs. Whoever feels better about herself....great.

    Diana Zuckerman obviously has no idea what it is like to have your full breasts turn into empty sacks with attached nipples. At age 46, with three children 11,11 and 16, I was a size 4 at 120 pounds. I had my sagging sacks refilled and am back to my 34D breasts that I have had since 15. My clothing fits again and I am back to being in proportion as I had been until the birth of my twins at age 35. I feel so much better about my figure and no longer want to hide in the bathroom to change my clothes or have sex in the dark under the sheets. This is my body, my choice and my life. If Ms Zuckerman thinks this is "worrisome" then she should read the paper or watch the news to find something worth worrying about. Having my augmentation was the easiest surgery as compared to my c-ssection and hysterectomy. And I suppose she will have an opinion about those needless surgeries too!

    You all are right. I have nothing of value to add here. I was wrong. Older women getting breast implants is not going to make a young girl want to go out and get implants. In fact, I think it might just turn young girls off ... after all, what young girl is really striving to look like her Grandma? I finally realized that all of my words and ramblings were just that ... blah, blah, blah. Nobody even wants to talk to me anymore. I'm finally going to sign off now. Goodnight!

    Whoa, whoa...there people!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    We are in an age where BOTOX and IMPLANTS are a "fleeting thought" anymore...and not a MAJOR DECISION as it once was and STILL SHOULD BE.
    People do cosmetic surgery like you and I go to the dentist to get a cavity filled or a tooth extracted.

    Does this make this RIGHT...does this make this "morally" RIGHT???????????? We cannot answer this question in either form. Why???????

    Women will always go to an "alternative" solution to make themselves feel better about themselves, if it means BREAST AUGMENTATION...so be it. If you are in your 40's and feeling a "little down" and want to revitalize the situation....the more power to you.

    What I'm saying is that if another person dictates to a person to get this done to MAKE THEMSELVES feel good or better.................then IT'S WRONG.
    But for an individual who DECIDES to do it alone to make themselves feel better about them...........then I say..........
    YOU GO GIRL "snap" "snap" "snap"

    ---------------OR---------------------------

    YOU GO BOY "woot" "woot" "woot"



    Thank you - that's my side and I'm sticking to it.

    After having 3 children in less than 4 years, I too felt that I needed a "pick me up". So for my 25th birthday my parents gave me breast augmentation. It changed my life. The Dr. had me undergo psych first to make sure that I was having the surgery for me and not to try to please someone else( my husband). My self confidence increased 150%. I had been very small breasted all my life. When my first son was born, I went from 105 lbs and a 28AA to 115 lbs and a 40DD. I am now 47 years young, 150 lbs and a very nice 38C. I would recomend the surgery to ANYONE and am considering having it done again!

    Women can be beautiful with natural or enhanced breasts. Looking better for yourself raises your self esteem. No one else has the right to tell another to "just be happy." Ladies and gentleman please, please stop dictating what's under someone else's underwear and its meaning to you, your gender, or your special interest group. Really, does someone else's implants tell you that you MUST get surgery? Let's hope you are smarter than that. Leave each set of breasts to their owner and let them make their own choice..

    • Posted By: goobydoo @ 12/17/2007 11:32:10 PM

      Having that self esteem is the most important thing. Ask the young girls with anorexia why they did what they did.

  • Posted By: michaelwel.com @ 12/17/2007 7:08:45 PM

    How sad. When will women embrace the fact that they are beautiful at any age, without changing themselves through this horrid form of disfiguement, plastic surgery. How about embracing the beautiful body your mothers gave you, ladies? Should we men all go in for *** enlarrgements? Intelligent women, (and men) know that it is not size of one's breats or one's ***, but the sizeogf one's capacity for intimacy that matters. Michael Welikson, N.Y.C., NY

      Michael, do you really live in NYC? Cause I've been there a lot of times for work, and there are a lot of ugly people of all ages living there....in fact, I've been in almost every city in the US, and quite a few outside the US and I've yet to see a population of people that are all beautiful at any age...maybe you mistyped "mythical garden of eden" for you location and put NYC by mistake...

    Its not about looking younger, its about feeling good about yourself. I'm thinking about getting a breast lift, and I'm only 33. After having 4 kids( a set of triplets) nursing and the weight loss after the pregnancies, they aren't where they should be. I just want them to look normal, and to be able to look in the mirror and be comfortable with what I see.

  • Posted By: kimmie @ 12/17/2007 10:26:46 PM

    i had the operation last year to increase my breast. went from a small 36B to a D. i have never felt better. i love the way i look. no, i don't look 18 again, but i do look quite good at 44. i studied the pros/cons for several years. what it finally boiled down to is that i just didn't like the way i looked naked. no one pushed me and my husband was happy with the way i looked, but I wasn't. now i love the way i look naked (my husband too!!!) i eat healthy and exercise to feel good about myself and i see this as just another form for me to feel good about myself. if modern medicine can offer me a way to feel better about the way i look and if i can afford it, then why shouldn't i do it?

    • Posted By: Little Bear @ 12/17/2007 11:03:59 PM

      The bottom line is you did it to feel more attractive to men. Wake up!...And by the way D is awfully big...why would you want to look like a cow????

      • Posted By: lolalove77 @ 12/17/2007 11:28:14 PM

        Where does getting breast implants make you look like a cow?! Think before you type.....morons some people. Jealousy will eat at your soul! Go find a hobby.

    It's so easy for people to pass judgement on someone, when they have never experienced the insecurities that come with self image. I am a forty year old mother of five. I breastfed for a total of ten years. Everything we are told by our society as being beautiful, usually shows up naturally, only on a few young woman who have never had children. I love that I carried those children, and yes, my body has the markings to show it. At the same time, I am a size six, work out, eat right, and take care of my skin. I will fight the affects of age naturally. I choose not to get implants, not because I disagree with them,,, rather because I love what I see when I look in the mirror. They are by no means perfect, but I have no problems. If a woman feels insecure to the point that she is willing to go under the knife to help the issue, then freaking let her. It's her body. Her choice. I don;t care what other people think of her, what;s important is did it help her to feel better about herself. I refuse to be a middle age woman, jealous and bitter towards those woman who look great. I say, if you're over 40 and still turn heads, way to go.

    It's a Bunch of SELFISH OLD LADIES trying to COMPETE with the YOUNG GIRLS out their***GROW UP and MOVE OVER and make Room for the YOUNG GIRLS, You HAD YOUR DAYS, SO BEAT IT YOU OLD LEECHES

    • Posted By: triplets @ 12/17/2007 11:26:25 PM

      Its not about looking younger, its about feeling good about the way you look. I'm considering having a breast left and it has nothing to do with looking younger. I'm only 33. I just happened to have had 4 children(1 set of triplets). And after the toll the pregnancy and breast feeding of 4 children, and losing all the weight after the pregnancy, they aren't where they should be. I just want them to look normal. So when I look inthe mirror, I feel comfortable with how I look.

    goobydoo, if you have nothing of value to add to this post, please stop wasting space with your crude comments

    • Posted By: gailmari @ 12/17/2007 10:40:52 PM

      I will second that...
      For someone who doesn't own a set, Goobydoo seems to have quite an interest in boobs.
      I'm wondering why he isn't spending time with that wife of 16 years he spoke of earlier, instead of bashing everyone's comments about this topic.
      Clearly unhappy... so let's all be unhappy too, now that we have Goobydoo to set us straight.

      • Posted By: goobydoo @ 12/17/2007 10:47:14 PM

        You right! I'm so unhappy. I'm going to schedule a breast implant for myself, because it makes everyone so "happy". I'm sorry I didn;t see it before. Are you happy now? I have stooped to your level of making wise cracks and jokes. Do you have anything to say on the topic?

        • Posted By: wikiman @ 12/17/2007 11:04:47 PM

          The only thing that overshadows your insufferable ignorance is my stupidity for arguing with a moron.

          • Posted By: goobydoo @ 12/17/2007 11:24:11 PM

            There you go with that "fancy" talk again. I'm all confused. Do you have anything to say on the subject? Didn't thnk so.

        • Posted By: gailmari @ 12/17/2007 11:12:16 PM

          Actually, what would make us all happy is for you, Scoobydoo, to just go blog somewhere else.
          I almost want to think that you're a woman wanna-be... why else would someone have such a strong opinion on this subject?
          And just because you don't have the kahunas to do something about it doesn't it make it bad for everybody else.

          • Posted By: goobydoo @ 12/17/2007 11:18:08 PM

            You speaking for everyone now? I'm sure all the people that have stated the same things I have would not agree with you. Why don't you address their comments.

    • Posted By: goobydoo @ 12/17/2007 10:39:04 PM

      I have been one of the few to actually say something. I can't help it if you don't like it. Stop using up space to attack me.

  • Posted By: jaynemagee @ 12/17/2007 10:03:49 PM

    BTW, goobydoo -- will you pay for my implants? I really want to get them done, but can't afford it. Thanks!

    • Posted By: saving-sevon @ 12/17/2007 10:15:33 PM

      Please, for God's sake, GROW THE *** UP. I'll gladly pay for your education, ***.

            Lighten up! I was breaking the tension with a little humor! Easy there cowboy!

    • Posted By: goobydoo @ 12/17/2007 10:16:15 PM

      Still waiting on someone that has something to actually say.

  • Posted By: dbenz2usa @ 12/17/2007 10:45:51 PM

    Has anyone heard the joke about the man who creates a bra that totally conceals the movement of breasts and a woman's nipples when they are hard? He was promptly taken out back and the s*$t beaten out of him by a large group of men. That's how I'm thinking about goobydoo right now. C'mon gooby! What's wrong with nicely shaped knockers?!? If people want to spend their money on a surgery, so be it. Everyone has their charities, and everyone has their own issues. If you want to take up an issue with fiscal mismanagement, look towards our wonderful government. The $ that gets pissed away there is what's mind-boggling!

    • Posted By: jaynemagee @ 12/17/2007 11:01:49 PM

      Hey dbenz2usa -- LMAO!

  • Posted By: dbenz2usa @ 12/17/2007 10:55:48 PM

    Blam, I think it's difficult for me to truly relate to a woman in this area. NOT ALL do it to stick out like a sore thumb. Some do it solely to feel better about themselves, whether it be in public or just in private to their mate. But there is no way a man can relate to how a woman feels if her breasts are nicely shaped or not.....

  • Posted By: blam @ 12/17/2007 9:39:19 PM

    Liposuciton, breast implants, botox, face lifts, hair transplant, nose jobs, lip augmentation, steroids, Viagra. What a sick society we live in? Has anyone ever heard of eating right, exercise and just plain being happy with yourself? Your dog loves you just the way you are. Shouldn't your husband be at least as dependable as your dog?

    • Posted By: srmzeus11 @ 12/17/2007 10:52:54 PM

      Dogs also slobber all over, eat food off the floor, lick their own privates, etc....

      I mean, just marry your dog if all you care about is unquestioning loyalty no matter what....but make sure you don't clip his nails, or get him groomed, or anything like that, because then you aren't loving him just the way he is....

    • Posted By: ADAL C @ 12/17/2007 9:47:59 PM

      come out of the shadow and be realistic, every woman wants to look good for them or for others.
