Our society is to blame for womens confusion. Our society would have you believe you are not suppose to get old; you would be sexy to look like a teenager or a young twenty-some year old for the rest of your life. There are stages of a woman though: maiden, mother, crone. We become wiser with age, more mature and centered. I am sorry to all the women suffering over vainity. If we could only remember the more important things in life like true heath, happiness, and basic needs met for our global family. I pray that we will wake up to the importance of our indvidual decisions and how with a little redirection and love we could change the mass suffering on this planet. I hope we remember that we are all connected and we place importance where it should be placed and not on the most selfish desires of vanity. You are divine, a beautiful wholesome part of this greater picture. Know love in your heart, not in the size or shape of your breasts. Remember too, every action you make, you are showing your children that is in your highest interest to do whatever action you are doing. Be proud of who you are. Try natural solutions first, raw whole foods, meditation, yoga, exercise, giving of yourself, smiling and feeling peace in your heart. Take Care Beautiful People and know you are loved.
I wish I had your outlook! Just wondering what size your breasts are though, did you ever have someone taunt you on the size of your breasts? I remember my best friend's dad in jr high commenting on my breasts because they were non-existent. And then my first boyfriend telling me I needed more, thank god for my husband, never has he ever said anything negative. Guess that's why he is my husband though!
Are you serious!? Just get some incurable disease and you'll see how little having large breasts, small breasts, or any breasts will be. It seems there are so many people that make "breasts" their self-esteem. All I can do is chuckle because it is just so sad. Go out and do something for someone and quit feeling sorry for yourself for something so superficial. If a guy needs his gal to have huge breasts instead of loving who she is, just get rid of him 'cuz he has more than this issue he's dealing with.
I am not sure if society is breaking up families over images of young women, however it is affecting how women in general feel about themselves. There are so many reality shows about cosmetic surgery and how it is so good etc. Then they are all the advertisments like Victoria Secrets where the women have the bodies of young girls, but huge breasts! Usually if you have large breasts (which is fat mind you) then you have a "womanly" body with curvy hips and thighs. However, then there are woman like me; I have curves everywhere from having two children, but my breasts are lacking. I have never had much in the breast area yet I never had problems getting the attention of the opposite sex. My husband loves my breasts and tells me I do not have to change. Then why do I feel the need to get larger breasts? Is it for my self-esteem or is it society's preceptions of women? I do not know. All I know is that I have been considering breast enlargment for some time and am planning to have it for a 30th birthday present. I hope I am making the right decision and do not leave my children motherless over larger breasts.
Women need to remember their divine selfs as co-creators. Its nothing more than societies misconceptions of beauty that would have beautiful women entering this stage of their lives and wanting to look like a maiden again. It is so sad that our society has no room for the stages of a womans growth through her life: maiden, mother, crone. The maiden is the first to come, as being a teenager and a young women, but we evolve through that into a more amazing, beautiful and wise creation. May the women of our confused society remember who they are, and not try to become someone they are not. Besides, what about the power of exercise, meditation, yoga, healthy raw foods- the gifts we were naturally given are more than a plastic surgeon could ever dream of topping. Smile and know you are loved.
It is unfortunate that someone should feel compelled to submit themselves to surgery in order for them or their spouses to feel good about themselves. Better they should invest in a shrink or someone to examine their values.
I'm not sure if my post got posted, but in a nutshell my wife and I both had a great experience with the doctors at finestimplants.com Good Luck!
I personally know two women who have had breast implants. They share a common trait. They both have very low self-esteem issue. They are in constant need of attention especially from the opposite sex. I believe women who enlarge their breast is only a reflection of who they are on the inside. EMPTY and looking for approval from men. You've come a long way baby
Honey, you only know 2 women with breast implants and have put a label on all women with implants? All because of these two women? Sounds to me like you are a bit insecure yourself when the men look at the 2 women you know. I know many, many women with implants. Most did not get them for men to ogle them. They got them to feel better about themselves. It's true, some women get implants because their boyfriend/husband likes big breasts but the majority of women do not get implants so that men can stare at them. I have very low self esteem issues. When I got my implants, it sure wasn't for any man. I had enough looking at me without the implants. I did, however, get them so that I could feel better about myself and look better in my clothes.
Stop labeling women because of just 2 women you know.
My lady is having this Mommy Makeover tomorrow. I am getting a t-shirt that says, "I didn't ask for them and I didn't pay for them."
Her decision is hers to make and I will take care of her during her recovery and will damn well enjoy them and the flat tummy, once the healing is down.
RPM; Lafayette, LA
Too bad you couldn't make her feel good about herself just the way she is. Shame on you.
Of course, the passive male who sits on both sides of the fence. "I didn't ask her to do it, BUT, I'm not going to stop her by actually telling her I don't want her to do it...please. I love you the way you are." More than a few of those here I see..and I am a man who told a now exwife with an A-cup, no to surgical implants...and believe me, she asked several times. Each time, I had to reassure her, it was not worth the risk for me. I loved her...married her as she was. Too bad other insecurities with her destroyed the marriage..
You told her "no!"....way to put your foot down. That shows you had a wonderful open marriage with lots of communication and respect, didn't you?
Funny, I love my wife so much that I would respect whatever decision she makes as long as she is comfortable with it, and there is no danger to myself or my kids. I guess that's why I'm still married - because I respect her as a human being who has her own ideas and can make her own decisions, not just the wife who has to obey her husband.
I know this may be news to you, but love is doing what's in the other person's best interest..not what may be what they actually want to do. That's how God looks at true love. This world is dying from the problem of sin, and evryone on it. Christ came and suffered, dying a perfect, sinless man (because He's God in spirit, so He couldn't sin even when tempted) so that those who choose to follow Him would have their sins charged to His account. (Making HIm the fall guy for a sin He really didn't do, but that's how He wanted it..and the Heavenly Father wanted it. Now, was it worth going through all that (some of what was seen in The Passion of Christ) for people who many would never accept it? Much less accept you? Logically no, but thankfully God chose love not just justice and logic. Jesus went through it anyway for just the sake of having salvation be available to everyone..knowing somebody will accept it. People from each generation will see the value and the sacrifce, and take hold of the offer to escape their rightful place in hell. Then let Christ have control over their lives, teaching us his word so we can see what God wants out of us and understand. Then, get power from Him to actually start to change, and hopefully change others and try to make the world as best a place as we can until it finally gets too bad to deal with anymore. Simply put. So, there are thing I may have had problems with in the bible when I first learned of them, but now, I see it's better doing it that way than doing it my way. Even if I didn't like hearing/reading it at first. That's true love. There are teens right now, and young adults who regret their parents didn't tell them what they neede to hear about discipline or other things in life. They've already paid a price for not having it told..and why? Parents were afraid of offending their teens right to choose for themselves as maturing adults...their life choices, which all seemed good to them and enjoyable at the time.
oh and btw, last I saw her...even though we've been apart for a few years now...she still hadn't done it. I don'r even...no..I know she wouldn't even agree with your purposely misrepresented interpretation of what I said to her comment as to how I said it. It's blatantly obvious. A rebel will do that just to shut the other person up from telling them what he/she needs to hear.
Wow, nice way to re-state something totally out of context. How do you get putting my foot down out of reassuring my then wife that she was fine as she was and it's not the risk? You have no argument other than to be contentious and rebellious. Trying to have a reasonable discussion with what the bible calls a scoffer is useless, as they only live to make trouble and have their own opinion. Even if they have to blatantly misrepresent your own words out of context to do it. But, what can I expect from someone blod and bad enough to actually consider wanting to insult God if He really existed in his book? SOmeone who you wouldn't have a ghost of a chance in fighting against if you were successful in getting under His "skin". The bible actually warns in the end, when the world is in turmoil from all it's problems (from the antichrist and people in general rebelling and doing their own thing) despite His calls for them to repent, people will do exactly as you are. Even to the point of cursing God, when they can no longer get away from the consequences of their actions, and they see visible proof there is a God with power over them to punish. So, at this point...there's nothing really left to be said. Have your fun...while it lasts..and at the rate things are going in this country and world, it won't be for much longer. God bless
Actually I think having saggy breasts a few years after childbirth can influence a woman's self esteem. She wants to be like she was before she had the baby. This is the case for my wife, and now that she has restored her breasts, she feels better, acts freer, and is not shy with her body at home or at the beach, anyways I could go on and on about the benefits. We found great service and a great selection at www.finestimplants.com -- and I would recommend the site to anyone who is interested. We are very very happy!
Any benefits that are not vain?
How about better performance at work, better parenting from more self confidence, better sex life because you feel attractive and sexy? How about getting a modeling or movie contract?
I think you have some self esteem issues yourself, goobydoo, since you are trying so hard to bring everyone else down and make yourself feel better. Why does another individual's personal decision have you so up in arms and threatened?
If those are indeed the benefits from bigger breasts and other cosmetic surgeries, then we really are in trouble in this country. Your work performance should not depend on your breast size, maybe on being in good health I could see. The other stuff you mentioned is no more than seeking what you think is the glamourous/getting paid/being someones idol life...all a product of Hollywood. Actually take the time to research how well women fare once they get into their 40's in the industry and see. The pains of withdrawal from no longer being sought after...the thing that crashed Liz Taylor, who was a looker in her day. Janet Jackson is another..trying so hard to be noticed. Not doing well compared to others is she? Britney Spears was the biggest example at the AMA's. HOw far she's fallen..gone from sexy pop star to being smeared all over the entertainment world on how sloppy she's gotten..and all I saw was only a slight stomach. If she lost 15 lbs to maybe 20, she would be fine..but oh no. They want perfection. You're chasing vanity, mistaking it for love and acceptance. But in the end, you will do what you will. Just know, there are plenty women on the ash heap of history who went there, got used, got lonely, and crashed. Marilyn Monroe, Dorothy Dandridge, countless models.....
You missed the point - its about your emotional state of health. When you are depressed, suffer from low self esteem and lack of confidence you cannot be at your best, including at work. That's how implants could improve your work performance - in that regard, they are no different than being extremely overweight and feeling so self conscious you can't be effective in a public forum. Then once you lose that weight and look and feel good you carry yourself differently.
And the examples I gave were women who followed that industry/cultural standard of beauty...and were at the top of the game in exploiting it..so you would think. Look at how they all died. Suicide...usually with drugs. Or a plain OD. With all that money and natural beauty and sexiness..and they still weren't happy. Everybody assumed they were...until we found out otherwise. Add Anna Nicole Smith to that btw. If she ain't careful, Britney Spears and Pamela Anderson (who's not getting any younger despite her back and forth C to D to C implant shuffle) may be joining this list too.
Well the truth about that is, you are going to have emotional troubles in this life. A sin ridden world will produce troubles, and to think you can or should have a silver bullett for all of them is naive. Christians of the past in the bible speak of being content in all things. Meaning, I may not like some of the things I have to encounter in this life, but be content that I have one greater than me in control, and I get strength and peace from Him. Not in the perishing things of this world. There are somethings...no worth getting if it's all about being happy, This country pushed that error in the very beginning with the Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of happiness thing. Happiness is temporary..situationally driven. People thought living in 6000 sq ft houses that costed way more than they could affor would make them happy. Now we have a mortgage crisis...helped and encouraged by the government although they won't admit it...that can and will take down our banking system..and economy (what's left of it) Also, the world's right behind it. How happy will people be with boob jobs when that happens? There comes a time when you've got to realize what's important truly, and what's not. This live for now mentality we have in America (and live for my happiness) has led to the very crisis in our society and government/economy we have today.
Oh and don't let my position on the issue fool you, I'm a man. One over my 20+ years of dating and marriage has had women of every size breast wise (A to DD) every type of hair (Shari Bellefonte afro to long, black and silky) and every shade of color from the darkest of ebony to "high yellow". Shapes too. From thick and shapely to slender with a very modest shape (size 6) Only one allowed herself to actually get obese...emotional issues from her growing up led to the habits which caused this and other problems. Point is, every woman or girl I dated, and the two I did eventual marry (and divorce over issues beyond my control) had their own unique qualities physically which appealed to me. But it was their personality, heart, and mind that eventually sealed the deal or broke it....regardless of how they looked.
Supportive and insightful. Lucky both of you.
I had silicone implants under the muscle, and they ruptured. I have had my entire chest detatched 6 times to remove clogged lymph nodes, siliconomas, granulomas, calcifications, and gangrene. There is silicone in my lungs that has caused me to have severe lung obstruction with the airway exchange. There is silicone in my kidneys and in my heart. I have a pacemaker with a defibrillator installed in my chest with wires that go into my heart to pace the beats, and to restart it when it stops pumping and quivers instead.
I have taken over 10,000 volts of electricity to my heart in the last 2 years.
Is Silicone safe? Is under the muscle the best method? It has been totally disasterous for me.
TRUST ME, when you have problems and the insurance company gets tired of paying for all your
medical care, you WILL be denied any coverage ! ! ! You will also not be able to get life insurance, nor
will you be able to get any credit life coverage, like for when you buy a car or house and pay for a policy to pay off the debt in case something happens to you, So, dont kid yourself.........right now you may be ok, and you may have the coverage.......... tomorrow may be another story. I hope for your sake that you continue to be ok, and covered. Here is the toxicity and immunology report on medical devices. it is on the FDA site, no where near the implant or medical device area, but it does tell you information there that it denies elsewhere: READ IF YOU DARE http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/ost/reports/fy98/IMMUNOTOX.HTM
Dear Sunshineaustin, I'm so sorry you have to go through with all of this, even though it was your choice in the beginning like many women proudly claim. If you look throughout these postings under my handle Luvcreole, you'll see how I've been desperately trying to tell women...warn them...that this is all just more of the same. Letting men manipulate and abuse the natural God given desire women have to look appealing to men in every way possible. There's normal...or acceptable desire, and there's unhealthy desire. Then, there's dangerously unhealthy desire. The men who support women doing all of this expensive and often dangerous surgery, I wonder. When it goes wrong..like in your case, will they still want anything to do with you? Will they care enough to drop buy the hospital after you've had another crisis? Or yet another surgery? Will they help you out physically to keep you from getting too stressed, even if it means extra work and trouble for them? I wonder....although as a man myself, and knowing men...I already have an idea of the answer. Keep trying to warn these ladies. ..and I in God's love will say it yet once again. Ladies, your worth is not in your bust size..butt size, or anything size. Just do what God says we're to do. Care for your body. Eat right, exercise, and enjoy you fit, youthful days while you have them..as God created you to be. The flower of youth and health will fade, but true love will endure. For you Christians out there, your awesome, at it's best body awaits in the resserection...fully imortal and capable for you to enjoy eternity free from imperfections, disease, and best of all..death. Don't try to do it yourself now..in this time and age. Everything wears out in this world, no matter how hard you try to fight it. This world is perishing, and everything in it. The universe too. Just accept it, and do the good for mankind that God ordained you to do. Enjoy the years He's given you too. God Bless You Sunshineaustin, and I pray God will heal you...or at least help you through you situation. And keep on warning these women..please.
Resurrection and immortal. Sorry for the mistakes. That's what I get for rushing..lol
I had breast augmentation surgery in January of this year. It was the best thing I ever did. After going through a divorce and finding myself a single mom with 3 kids, I never did anything for myself. That's the price you pay for being a parent, and well worth it. It was something I had been wanting to do for a long time, and so almost a year ago I decided to just do it. I had been saving money for a long time so that I could pay cash for the surgery and not do something stupid like paying interest on a loan for new boobs. I have a great job and this money was saved for me to eventually do something just for me. My kids are well provided for and aren't lacking for anything (but not overly spoiled....). People say that we women get a breast augmentation because we are materialistic or narcissistic, but that isn't ALWAYS the case. I went through a nasty divorce and had spent 10 years listening to my husband demean me and tell me "if only I had boobs I would be perfect." So part of it was a self esteem issue. But it shouldn't matter WHY a woman chooses to have cosmetic surgery. It's her body, her choice, her money. So put the soap boxes away. Usually the ones who make the snide remarks are the ones who wish they could have a better body and are jealous. So yes, I am extremely happy with my smoking hot body. I work out religiously, I eat healthy, and I stay active. So the negative comments really don't offend me.............my implants are immune to pointed barbs..........lol :-)
What if it was a man who told you you shouldn't have done it peanutsgirl? Cause here's one right here. I'm quite attracted to women (i.e.: very heterosexual) Yet, I can with great sadness say..your exhusband was a jerk, didn't deserve you..but unfortunately won. He succeeded in convincing you you were nobody without healthy breasts. Now, you've taken care of the problem (in your own mind), but you haven't. It's not jealousy the other women are telling you no. They can get it done too...most people have credit cards they can use. Payment plans are available. Or they could save like you did. You're still hurting over what your ogre of an ex..chauvanist that he was...said about you and when someone mentions this breast sugmentation as a mistake, calling them jealous really is showing how vulnerable you still are. Being reminded that you actually caved to his worthless opinion. Maybe even to make him want you back or regret ever losing you when he sees you (since you have children, I assume you two will have to cross paths) Why does this bug me so much then as a man? Simply put? I'm twiced divorced..all because of wives who were still suffering from the men in their lives. Harsh, deadbeat fathers. Or neglectful/abusive husbands or boyfriends...and they still sought love as any woman desires to do. Unfortunately, their baggage came with them, and promptly ruined our marriages. I found I couldn't get away from the ghosts of their past. I see it even in my own extended family, with abuse issues..all with the women, and even some of the men. The women of the families of some of my friends too. Women have been catching it ever since the bible days, and they still do now. Thebible predicts this with deadly accuracy..if people understood it. Jesus was gentler to the women in his day than he was to the men....because of this fact. So, don't be mad at me for typing this. I'm on your side...just not in the way you'd like. One day, I pray, you will be able to take those implants out, and look at yourself in the mirror, and say "I am wonderfully and fearfully made by God, who loves me. He says I am beautiful, and worth everything to him"
I'm sorry you have a pig of an ex-husband, and am glad you managed to get away from him.
It seems you worked hard to save the money for your implants. Are you still saving for the next pair? They're supposed to be replaced every 7 - 10 years. Also, I hope you don't get sick. Studies have shown that within the first three years of getting implants for the first time, almost half of the women experience one local complication such as pain, infection, hardening or the need for additional surgery, and none of this is covered by your insurance. Also, as a mom, you must be regularly getting your breasts examined, right? Well, mammograms can deflate your implants and anyway are fairly useless for implanted breasts. The FDA recommends MRI's every couple of years to make sure your breasts stay healthy. MRI's cost a couple of thousand dollars a pop. Are you saving for that too? If something does go wrong, I hope you'll have the mans to get it taken care of. Good luck.
I've had implants for several years now. It is, by far, a personal choice. I only want to stress the importance of researching your surgery if that is your choice. Too many rush into the "best deal" they can find. I believe you get what you pay for and you really need to research your plastic surgeon.
My choice to have augmentation was exactly that...MY choice, no man's opinion - or woman's for that matter. My opinion of myself was all that mattered then and all that matters now. For me, it was the best thing I could do for myself and (obviously) I have NO regrets.
Why can't mommy have something for herself?
I agree 100% with you! I live in Wichita, KS, and a lot of women here drive to Oklahoma because they can get a "cheap" breast augmentation done. They pay less than $2000 for implants that are put in OVER their muscle. I found the best local surgeon I could and paid $3900 to have my surgery done correctly. My implants are located under my chest wall and I have had no problems what so ever. The scar tissue is non existent because they put them in under my chest wall and my incision scars have almost completed faded because my doctor gave me scar treatment cream after my surgery. You get what you pay for. So if you're not researching all your options and it turns out badly because you wanted a cheap way out, you get what you deserve. And YES, mommy does deserve to do something for herself too!
I had silicone implants under the muscle, and they ruptured. I have had my entire chest detatched 6
times to remove clogged lymph nodes, siliconomas, granulomas, calcifications, and gangrene. There is silicone in my lungs that has caused me to have severe lung obstruction with the airway exchange.

Is Silicone safe? Is under the muscle the best method? It has been totally disasterous for me.

YEs, but it may have been your choice, as it would be always, but why is the question? Don't tell me you got it done just because you like the way it looks for just you. Unless you're turned on by our on breasts. There is a link to how you think men will see you at the root, otherwise what good is it to do?
It's called men quite simply. Women are naturally inclined to want to look their best for men. That's God's doing. If this is a trend, it only is because of the way men treat women. Putting so much stock into looks that even the older ones can't stand the thought of aging anymore. The younger girls STOP_ME was refering too are also too much into their bodies and not enough into their souls and minds. Just look at all of the drama today in our beauty pagents. Men? Start loving your women as God created them....please?
What about men loving men just as God created them? You're ok with that, right?
ONLY IF ONE IS A TRANSSEXUAL !! JUST KIDDING
Sorry, God didn't make women for me to love each other, rather, that kind of lifestyle is the result of a society that refuses to acknowledge God for who He's revealed Himself to be in the Bible. Look it up. Start at Romans Chapter One, verse 18 and read onward. Both men and women were made to reflect certain attributes of God's own character. Each distinctive to the sexes (Secular society calls it Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus) Put both sexes together, and you get a more complete picture of what God is like in relation to us...and how He relates to us. Problem is, nobody does marriages God's way anymore..nor have people done them in the past (Men dominating women selfishly, not loving them..but trying to suppress or enslave them, making women in turn want to rebel and do their own thing...the whole thing gets messed up. Short of it is, Homosexuality is actually God's way of letting your society know you are disrespecting Him. Check it out..
Well, I'm not homosexual, but I might become that way if it means its a personal slap to the face of god. I'd enjoy that. Aren't there any heterosexual ways I can slap him in his face? Just for making such a mockery of pure science and philosophy and critical thinking? I mean, religion is the opiate of the masses...
I really don't see what god has to do with implants anyway - I mean, if you believe that all things come form god, then he created the technology for implants, right? Along with nuclear weapons, racial hatred and prejudice, cancer, etc....what a caring and loving diety he must be!
No, He gave you and all of mankind free will...to do good and evil. True love does that. If you want to disrespect Him, He won't stop you. It's foolish to do so, since you can't control your eternal destiny. But your response IS the reason why the world suffers so much. You don't want anybody (including) God to tell you how you should live your life, but you're not going to admit all the problems you're contributing to the world's misery by your self centered approach to life. All of mankind has this problem, just like children who rebel against their parents..who only want the best to protect them (if they are truly responsible too) Only way out of this is to let Christ into your life to "give" you the heart to actually care about more than yourself...like He did. That's what this upcomming holiday is about. A God who came to save everyone from themselves...everyone who wants to be saved. Most don't want too, and the storm clouds of the end times are right on the horizon...thanks to our dear U.S. (The banking crisis, wars around the world, inflation, climate change....etc..)
ONLY IF ONE IS A *** ( TRANSSEXUAL ) **JUST KIDDING**
I AGREE WITH YOU !
Amen to that!!!
Give it up....you had your time. If you didn't do enough with it, too bad.
AMEN-2-THAT-BROTHER
For 12 years, I have headed an international support group for women harmed by their breast implants. Many have experienced life threatening infections, including aspergillus niger, as well as repeated surgeries and immune system breakdowns. The high rate of suicide years after their first surgery is related to losing not only their implants, their natural breast tissue, but also their vitality, health and insurance!
The FDA imposed new regulations regarding implants. Mine are saline and should one of them develop a leak the saline would be harmlessly passed through my body. Silicone implants were the dangerous ones and have been linked to all the women who got sick from their implants. Recently they approved a new form of silicone implants, but my surgeon refuses to use anything other than saline. Oh, and I have a lifetime warrantly on my implants :-)
Peanutgirl, really I think that if you believe saline is safe, you better do some researching. I had them for 8 years. Also if you think that saline is sterile, you are very misinformed. i had chunks of bacteria and mold growing in my 'safe' saline implants. I get very, very angry when I hear or read someone commenting on the safety of saline implants. They are not safe and they are just as dangerous as all the other implants. I became totally disabled after just 5 years of having them. I've basically been house bound for the last 6 years. Don't tell me about safe. I'm living through what was explained to me as being safe. I bought that story, hook line and sinker. My PS was board certified. If you want to see some pictures of what you think are safe saline implants and what they look like after they are removed from the body, you can go to breastimplantsupport.org. We have two ladies that had black implants and one nearly died.
Saline solution, in an unopened body, on the shelf has a two-year shelf life . . . Put it in a warm, dark place where body fluids can pass back and forth through defective valves or a deteriorating shell, and you have the makings for disaster. Dr. Blais, a Canadian researcher, has found as many as 22 organisms in one woman's implants. This woman, an electrical engineer, is not totally disabled. If the implant breaks, the spill may not be "harmless" salt water. . . It may be loaded with bacteria that can cause a host of illnesses - even death. . . .Please read your warranty carefully. . . It is good only if you REPLACE your implants. If you get sick and want them removed so you have a chance to recover, it won't pay a dime. . . Proper explant can cause as much as $15,000 - and increasing every year with inflation. Every implanted woman should have at least enough money in savings to cover explant and to pay her living expenses for one year while she gets her life back.
At one time, I thought implants were the solution too! . . . I understand! . . . Now I know they were the dumbest decision I ever made. Getting them removed was the smartest investment I ever made.
My biggest concern is for the children born to implanted women. What do you tell them when they ask why they can't live a normal life? . . . We've had a number of adult children come to Yahoo Group's SiliconeKids looking for answers. . . Unfortunately, we don't have any sure-fire answers. We can only recommend that the child be put on a very healthy diet so it's little immune system has a chance to overcome some of the toxins passed to it before birth or during nursing.
The FDA knows this! . . . But they serve the plastic surgery industry and the implant manufacturing industry. NOT the public who pays their salaries. It won't be long before we can start replacing these criminals in the election!
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 !!
According to my wife the best place for pros and cons about implants is at: www.FinestImplants.com
ENOUGH WITH THE SPAM****BEAT IT LEECH !!!!
You're doing a good job of advertising . . . Hopefully you are well paid!
I think you've done a good job of advertising for them . . . Hopefully they're paying you well.
I am 48 yrs old, I had breast augmentation when I was 34. It made such a difference in my self esteem that I will be having them replaced in the next few months with the new memory gel implants. Any of you ladies that are considering implants, I suggest you make certain you plastic surgeon is board certifed in cosmetic surgey though. My Dr. was and my results and recovery were fantastic. I don't think there a thing wrong with enhancing what you have. It's like puting on make-up to enhance your beauty. If you can afford it, I say go for it. My husband loves my breasts as much as I do and it also adds to your love life. I SAY GO FOR IT!
If you've made it this long without major health issues, you're unusual. Most women would be chemically sensitive, have fibromyalgia, a thyroid disorder, cognitive issues, digestive problems, systemic fungal issues, fatigue, or a vast array of other problems. . . Not just one, but a combination of many symptoms. Be sure your doctor uses the en bloc, or total capsulectomy to remove your implants. Otherwise you may end up as sick as some we see on Yahoo's Health Group, SalineSupport.
I take issue with your assumption of "most women"
To be sure, there are women who have problems with their implants, but they are the exception, not the norm. Otherwise, the FDA and the AMA would not allow the prodecure to be done. It would be like a drug with harmful side effects coming off the market. You're twisting the facts to advance your own agenda.
I hope you're still watching this blog . . . You're wrong . . . The FDA panel advised against approving the latest implants . . . but the decision was held back until the night before Congress went on their Christmas vacation a year ago. You can read the transcripts of the hearings . . . The science is there . . . The FDA is corrupt.
Evasive surgery is not the same as makeup!
there is no such thing as evasive surgery - unless your trying to say that you have the surgery while avoiding incoming missles or something like that. It really makes it hard to take anything you say seriously when you don't even know the basics of the english language.
These are the Chemicals Found in Breast Implants. Breast implants slowly degrade over time causing all of this crap to make it's way into your body. One of my "safe salines" deflated 9 months ago and this is now what I am dealing with. Trying to find a way to rid my body of these chemicals and toxins. If this isn't enough to change someone's mind about getting breast implants, I don't know what is.

Nothing wrong with getting a lift when needed. It should be a law that all women have at least 36d's.
Would you want your Mother, your sister, your daughter, your wife getting these 36 D's if you knew they were going to drastically harm or helf and cause her to be bed ridden? I think you really to re-think this comment.
Thank you for confirming in one sentence what I've been trying to tell women and men is the problem here. Selfish indugence in men's attitudes abusing the natural God given desire for women to look attractive to men. This response is from another, quite heterosexual..attracted-to women male btw..
