Oh Please!!! If you people dislike breast engancement this much why did you read the article in the first place? Just to put other people's decisions down? I am 27 years old with two kids. I did not breast feed. However, my breast still look like someone deflated them. I WILL have the surgery one of these days. However, right now there are things the money would be better spent on. My husband could care less one way or the other, but it will make ME feel better.

Jared_b, I certainly understand you comment about natural. However, perhaps you don't understand what it is like for those of us who were natural enough to feed our babies. Our breasts look like worn tube socks and we roll them up to put them into our $65 bras. I don't want to be the next Pam Anderson but I certainly would like a REFILL so I could KEEP my husband's eye at the beach!

Are men really interested in breasts or is this a marketing thing? I don't believe that men are interested in breasts, I think it's women who have been subjected to trash media. Why would normal men like breasts? It doesn't make sense biologically. I see lots of men with 'perfect' bodies on TV but that doesn't interest me when I meet someone. Why don't you just wear those formpressed cups that shape the breasts at the beach. There are painless ways to look 'good'. I think things like grace, intelligence and kindness are much more important than full breasts. 1 out of 3 women are at a risk of getting breast cancer. The rate for finding the cancer in time is much less for women with inplants. And why carry that extra weight? A lot of women who have greater risk of breast cancer remove their breasts just so they don't have to worry about it. It's no big deal!

She just said she DIDN'T want to look like Pam Anderson; she just wants a little "refill" to look natural again. Nothing wrong with that if it's her choice!

It seems to me that if the woman wants to alter her appearance then that is her decision to make. I have been married to my wife for 27 years and have 4 children. If she was to decide to have implants, I would back her decision. As for me, I'd love her whatever she decided

Mscarr1,
Thanks for the sane, realistic, post.
Im a man, husband and father.
Ive decided that my wife's rinkles, sagging breasts, and natural aging are just that......NATURAL....its the way GOD wanted it to be when he made us.
One of the reasons I love my wife so much is that she is not tempted by the pop culture and the plastic look that is being put forth in Hollywood and the media.....
Everyone is trying to look flawless and youthfull.....Yeah, diet, excersise....then enjoy life and spend those thousands of dollars on your family or give it to the poor....-

Enter Your CommentIm so glad you bring up the media factor. The people in popular music, television and films must all be disfunctional and extremely unhappy. That lifestyle is dysfunctional and they are almost in the sex industry, simulating sex all day long (especially in MTV). MTV music videos are sort of like a sex industry in my opinion and not something we should fooled to think is glamour or anything of the likes.

His comment was honest...that is the natural aging process as God intended. He loves his wife just as much as when she was young, which is a hard thing for our shallow, self -absorbed, vain society to comprehend. Stop being brainwashed by the media. People have truly become SHEEPLE.

How would you feel if you knew the man you loved had a fake body part - not to save his life, or a function - but to build his self-esteem? . . . If you knew his life was at serious risk because of this implant? . . . That he may become disabled because of this implant? . . . That your children may have birth defect, cognitive problems or learning disorders because of this implant? . . . Would you want to take him on with his fragile ego and potential health problems?

Breast implants are going to blow up in our faces? Perhaps you should give a little thought to your comments before you post them. Aside from the vivid imagery, you've implied that somehow cosmetic surgery is going to have apocalyptic results. I find it hard to believe that boob jobs are going to bring down civilization.

oh and one thing I forgot to mention (she's sitting right here) is that she also changed her lips. Not much of a change but her lips are more full and sensous now. She wanted to pass on that she got the work done at www.finestlips.com. So if you have thin lips you may want to try them. Good Luck!

Posted By: jschmidt1971 @ 12/18/2007 6:42:26 PM
I think there is nothing wrong with getting plastic surgery to look like what you were before. This isn't about not being happy with what you're given, but regaining something you've had before. It's like being "normal" again. Just have to make sure to go to board-certified plastic surgeons. As a side-note, http://www.abms.org and http://www.trustedsurgeons.com are great places to find those.
-
Posted By: Bornita @ 12/18/2007 10:32:46 PM
I think surgery is quite a drastic and risky way to 'regain something that you've lost'. Whoever even said that was necessary? In my opinion, physical beauty is only skin deep and beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder. A pure, good person sees beauty in everyone. That is how we should be. How much longer are you going to be tricked by l'oreal? Look at their website and you will see how much of the beauty products and consequently the advertising belongs to them. Of course there are millions of other companies that brainwash us into thinking we need to purchase their product or service in order to hold our head high. Just think about this: there are millions of free and safe things you can do to be more satisfied and happy. Like a brisk walk makes you feel better. I read that gratitude journaling about once a week makes you happier. Forget beauty surgery, it makes you look like crap. Just buy the right clothing instead. If you want to emphasize your bust then there are shapes and shadings that do that better than a monster boob inplant.

Thank you for that inspirational comment! I did want to mention that since this article mentions tummy tucks, that my sister recently got one....and I think it helped her self-image and self-esteem. Ever since she had my niece, she was unable to shake her excess skin and fat around her stomach.. She found a great place to get the tummy tuck -- www.tuckafold.com and now she is in pretty dang good shape. I am happy for her because she is happy and can fit into her wardrobe again. She said the staff at "tuckafold" was excellent and made it a smooth process. Good Luck Ladies!

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?
-
Posted By: srmzeus11 @ 12/17/2007 10:02:24 PM
I've yet to meet a women with "created by God" stamped onto her anywhere. If she doesn't like the genetic material she got from her parents, let her change it.
And if you don't believe in "souls", that leaves you to be more into your mind and body. And I really wish everyone would stop blaming men for the fact that older women want to look younger. Evolution dictates that the strongest drive is the drive to reproduce, and men have been conditioned for 50000 years that a younger woman is more fertile and more likely to carry a healthy baby to term than an older one, which means higher probability that your genetic material gets passed onto the next generation.-
Posted By: Luvcreole @ 12/18/2007 8:13:44 AM
Evolution dictates? Please, show me where I can find Mr. Evolution to ask him...since he's got the authority. My God says men are to love their wives unconditionally...which means as they are before you. Far superior and humane for the woman if you ask me. Yours is the reason why we have women starving themselves to get smaller....amongst other things.
-
Posted By: srmzeus11 @ 12/18/2007 11:37:06 AM
Your god also says women are supposed to be good loyal little servents obeying their husbands - so you really can't have it both ways. In fact, i don't have enough memory in this computer to list all the contridictions and inconsistencies contained in the fictional work known as the bible. So using that as your point of reference is sort of useless.
And thank you for your "no evolution" stamp comment - it proves my point. We wouldn't have anything of the kind if we evolved naturally....-
Posted By: Luvcreole @ 12/18/2007 5:57:01 PM
You've just validated the bible in your response right here. In Genesis, Adam blames Eve and God for his error in disobedience, never mentioning himself. You've just by default done the samething. Blaming God for troubles that people cause themselves BY doing it their way, and blaming women for not being what God said they were. Remember I said, the curse goes like this. So long as men do like Adam and continue treating women selfishly..like you are...then womeen are more prone to rebel in response. It's all sin, yes..but self perpetuated..and it will leaveboth men and women in the end miserable..until you stop and decide to go back to God's plan. Men are the major factors here. Want more women to be as the bible says? The quickest way is for men to take responsibility as leaders in this world and start living to love women..doing what's in their best interest. Sacrificially, even over ourselves..as Christ did dying for us. Once you start doing that, more women will eventually be moved to respond in kind...trusting you to the point of what the bible says they should. That's how it works...and since history has shown us women catch hell more from men than the other way around in all cultures...well, there you have it. Women are more rebellious in response. No contridiction...you have what you have by choice.

And please don't insult me with the old "younger women have a better chance of reproduction" bit as to why older men go after younger women. How many times have younger women been baited into an affair an older man claimed he was "going" to leave his wife? Only the younger woman gets pregnant with the married older man's child, and he runs off back to his old lady, having nothing to do with the younger woman or his kid? Remember there was a movie about this very thing back in the early 80's....Glenn Close and Michael Douglas called "Fatal Attraction" Very popular and scary for the guys....The prospect of cheating and having the younger woman go "Fatal Attraction" on ya as they called it back in the day. Yeah, I know you want the "Evolution" model...it allows you to indulge yourself without worrying about those precious souls, hearts, and minds you'll be running over in those poor women you want to have to suit your sexual fantasies. No love, and certainly not about raising a family. Never has been, as history shows how men have treated women. AND I'MA MAN ADMITTING THIS!

I think that all you women who want bigger breasts are just insecure in who you really are. 20 years ago 40 years ago 100 years ago we were all happy to be who we are not happy with what other people want to view us like. And then you say "I did it for me" yeah right! all you women who say that are the first ones out there flashing men with your doctors work intead of your own body get a grip and respect yourselves for who you are not for who/what you want men to see you as.

Yeah, I thought the same thing 20 years ago when I thought, "I would NEVER put contacts in my eye for the sake of vanity - I will be PROUD to go bald - etc." Until you get there. Then you realize how full of it you were once you walk a mile in others' shoes.
That's the beautiful thing about reality. You can kid yourself about a million things, ...until you get in that position.
+++++++++++
There are 50 year old women that THINK they are just as hot as a 25 year old after surgery. Don't kid yourselves - - you're not. BUT, you can look a little better, and if that makes you feel better, ...knock yourselves out.-

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

Posted By: Mooey558 @ 12/18/2007 5:36:38 PM
Sorry, but as you have seen from some of the other posts, you can be a confident, happy and satisfied woman and still get implants. I was not in any way lacking confidence nor was I unhappy with my life in any way at all and I got mine and I am very happy that I did.

Yes, I agree it is best to find a good surgeon. And SALINE is the best way to go these days. I would suggest looking at several different centers and then deciding. My wife and I did this and wound up selecting a doctor from www.finestimplants.com Actually there was a team of advisor that gave us plenty of options. We had fun selecting the size and shape and would go back and forth a little. She would tease me that she would be getting the DD's, and of course that made me chuckle. She has changed her attitude since she got her implants, and we are very very happy about the decision.

For those women who want bigger breast, are you doing this procedure for the perverts to look hard at your bossums in front of your children. God have you those for breast feeding, not to give satisfaction to jerks, but they belong to your spouse, for his eyes only.

Posted By: angelus1967 @ 12/18/2007 12:07:09 PM
Good grief opydyke....how about you try to move into the 21st century?? God did not give these women anything, genetics did. And breasts are for more than feeding babies, they are a sexual organ for women (and men of course) so if a woman is happy with her breasts she is more likely to be happier in her sex life. As far as breasts being there only for a woman's spouse to look at well, I don't even know where to BEGIN with how wrong that is!!

And what if you're not married? What if you believe in sleeping with any attractive person you meet, and your fantastic breasts make it easier to do that? Just because that's not your lifestyle doesn't mean no one else is allowed to be like that. Try and be a little more open mided...
