Breast implants. Why?
Just imagine if there were an operation (with the success/result rate) that could safely enlarge a man's penis... The line would be endless I tell you... Endless. You'd also have men thinking like a lot of women do that are about to under go the proceedure: "Hey, it cost the same so, why not make it (them) absurdly large!!!! Anyway, to each her/his own. Mar 14 06 12:18 pm Link It was cheeper to spend the six grand for a one shot boob job than it has been to get all of my tops taylored down to size for the rest of my life. Mar 14 06 04:49 pm Link I found out when I started dating one of my current ladies that some women are born with a disorder that causes severe dysmorphia in their breasts. She has over a cup & a half size difference. Since then I've met 2 other women with the same problem. Apparenty its relatively common & is caused by severe hormonal fluctuation while the breasts are developing. Surgery can address it thru a combination of reduction & reconstruction involving implants to equalize out the size & shape. Should these ladies have to spend their lives hiding this with their clothes & worrying about how someone will react when they undress? I would wager most folks would say no, it's perfectly ok for them to get surgery to correct this. So if it's OK for them, why is it an issue for anyone who it makes feel better & prettier? My only issue is with the people who have them done very badly or who get HUGE ones on tiny bodies where it just looks fake. Those make me sad, because I find them hideous. But then it's not MY body or life & it sure seems to make the ladies who have them happy. So I just dont look at those.

Mar 15 06 01:13 am Link Well if you had seen the model I just shot with and saw what her baby did to her breasts you would not ask that question. I hate plastic boobs for sure but her breasts needed HELP real bad. She could of used PLASTIC for sure. bs Mar 15 06 07:05 am Link Ira Meyer wrote: I've always wondered this myself. Especially since I happen to think smaller breasts very beautiful. I can understand about dying one's hair, after all, that's superficial, makeup? the same. When all is said and done you can return to your natural look fairly easily. Breast implants? Not so easy. Mar 15 06 07:21 am Link Breast implants for symetrical reasons are not a bad idea. To each his/her own. Muscles u can build breast you can't. How many men would have muscle implants if they couldn't enlarge them naturally? oops. Steroids. Its not always what you do but how and why you do it. Mar 15 06 07:57 am Link Hey Ira! I guess it has everything to do with self esteem of course - how you think about yourself and how you think others perceive you, real or imagined. Some of it has to do with the modeling industry too. I realize that most people seem to think that implants are just for "size only" but there are OTHER reasons for wanting implants besides size. I considered them not for size, but for shape. A fake breast sits up higher and perkier than a natural breast, unless you are just a lucky person with nice natural ones. I haven't seen too many like that, especially if they have large boobs. Bigger boob = more droop. A fake boob also has a nicer round shape (if you get the round shaped implant instead of the tear drop shapped) and nice outward projection. Natural boobs generally sit closer to the chest and look well, natural. Fake boobs can also be used to correct assymetry (one larger than the other). One of the reasons I considered shape was because there are certain kinds of clothing that you *have* to wear braless or you'd see the bra. However, these shirts don't necessarily look good unless you have a) small boobs b)freakishly perfect natural breasts or round fake implants. Of which I have neither of the above. I've tried them with my natural boobs and the shirts don't look right to me, and plus I have assymetry so if I don't watch it, they even look lobsided O_O Then I see the same shirt on a fake chest and it's like wow...she must be wearing a hidden bra!! LOL I love her tits! Anyway you get the idea. I've also noticed that most of the mens magazines only seem to photograph fake boobs, even Playboy who "supposedly" says they want more natural boobs. A lot of clothing and bikini ads also seem to hire models with fakes. Hell, I've even seen some people request only models with fakes. Granted there are those who like natural boobs too but fakes do have advantages. And with all the advancements in technology, women have a choice of looking uber fake, fake or fairly natural, so it's a personal preference.

It is really embarassing to me since I can't ever go without a bra and some clothing and costumes demand that. I even did a topless shoot once and to me it looked horrible. I won't even show those pictures to anyone.

Ironically, out of all the members here who actually have implants not one not one expressed concerns or complications. Mar 15 06 09:40 am Link I fear that over-exposure to Hollywood and advertising has created an unrealistic standard, which far too many of us have bought into. As such, the percentage of people satisfied with themselves might well be ever decreasing. As a man and a photographer, there is no doubt I am very visual. And I delight in the number of astoundingly beautiful, phenomenally healthy women I see everywhere. But I still wonder what so many who get cantaloupe sized implants think when they look in the mirror? For to me they cease to look human. Still, this is not my issue-- or concern. For it is their lives and bodies. So who am I to say anything? But I fear for the standard it sets for young, impressionable girls. For how can they grow to be happy in their own skin (given the images they are surrounded by)? That is the crux of this matter. At least in my opinion...

I am doing it puerly for my own self esteem growing up having 2 older sisters and a whole bunch of family with the bit tit gene can do wonders to knock your self confidence. also I think it would put me in better proportion. now no need to check my profile I have chicken fillets in most of em hehehe. I reckon I will look amazing after my OP as I have a great peach ass!! will look totally in proportion hehehe all my friends and family think its a great idea. I am in seventh heaven after 5 years of debating and contemplating and skrimping and saving the time is neigh whoop whoop xx shelly xx Mar 15 06 10:53 am Link shelly1982 wrote: Just don't go too big, it'd look odd on your frame Mar 15 06 11:00 am Link After breastfeeding my kid let me tell what it does to a women's chest. After 5 years of contemplating a boob job I decided to do it. I researched many doctor's and found one that I am very happy with. So happy that is has almost been a year now and I think only 3 family members know that I have had a boob job. My doctor gives implants that are appropriately sized with the women's body. He refuses to give someone something larger then their body type. I do not have a low self-esteem - why did I do it. Well after breastfeeding I went from a Full B cup to a Full A cup. The fullness was no longer there on top. Asyemmtrically size wise I was perfect but the top half was gone due to breastfeeding. Yes, I am very happy that I did this. Just trying to give perspective from a somewhat older model who's body changed somewhat after baby..:-D Mar 15 06 11:16 am Link theda wrote: Got that right. Cause ther ain't no better.

I like my breast they are a part of me, but I cant take that my back is constently hurting and all the pain I go through because of them! Mar 15 06 11:28 am Link i have thought about breast augmentation over and over again, esp. when i moved out to Vegas. I don't need them , i am a 34b and they are perky, but some women with them, have the nice body,cars, man, everythings, so i think some women believe if they get them, everything in their life will change. I have decided not to get them because i believe that having implants typecast you, for only certain types of jobs, i dont' want to look stupid (as some do) and falling over. i have a very porportioned body, and i have realized, since i am not going down, the playboy,porn aisle i dont really need them. a lot of go-go dancers have them, and a lot of import models have them as well, but there is no need, because they when you go for a job, they are going to put you in skimpy clothing, and you are going to be advertising your ass and tits and not your talents. to each his own, i think they look great but unless i decide i want implants and a risk of undetected breasr cancer i wont be getting them. also they give you those ripples in your skin when you move, have you ever been to a strip club and you see ripples and scars, what is really good? if you get them done, find a good doctor, and be able to keep them up. Mar 15 06 11:41 am Link Sorry, I'm not interested in product photography. Out of several thousand breast implants I've seen, I can think of maybe a handfull that looked remotely realistic. Even those looked relatively unnatural when out of clothes. The only situations that they seem to work in is when they are completely covered by clothing. They're always too round, too far apart, and don't hang the way normal breasts would (and that's for the good boob jobs, I won't even get into the bad ones). They generally don't feel right either, especially if the girl enjoys a bit of roughness, nothing worse than feeling the edge of the implant. It's completely distracting. In my opinion, if you can tell that there's been plastic surgery, it pretty much defeats the purpose. The illusion is ruined. It would be like seeing the wires used in movie stunts. To each his own though, if they make someone feel better about themselves and they are happy with the results, more power to em. There are plenty of guys out there that could care less about them being fake and plenty of photographers willing to shoot them. I just personally refuse to shoot nudes or any kind of work where breast implants would be noticeable. Mar 15 06 11:51 am Link shelly1982 wrote: Good for you. Go huge if you want to. It's your body so do whatever size makes you happy, large are small. Besides, it sounds like you've already given it plenty of time and thought anyway...

Mar 16 06 03:30 am Link Not a bad question............I have always been Petite and I wouldn't want a large chest. it would make me look out of proportion. For any woman who desires a fuller chest thats fine with me as long as you know the health risk factors. I'm happy with my image but being female, there is always a desire to improve ones appearence. After 3 kids, my lower abs have been hard to tone(C-section) but I continue to work out and do my best to improve............We are all human and we want more........thats our nature!! Mar 16 06 10:59 am Link Very good subject....it IS an epidemic. Alot of women have great natural breasts then go and get ridiculously big implants that are hard as rocks. I myself am considering them....only because I no longer have the lift and fullness after having a child. I would never do it to impress a man but rather to boost my self confidence....and would never go overboard. That is why it has taken me about 5 years considering it, I want to find a surgeon who can make them look the most natural. If I am going to invest about $7,000 they are going to look the way I want them to look. Chicago is very pricey for breast augmentation and if you look at a lot of the surgeons before and after photos......they are ALL nothing but rip-off chop-docs. :0) Invest wisely.
