On Breast Enhancement

The more I read about breast enhancement the more I have to wonder why someone would want to get the procedure. First off, let me say that I have no right to have an opinon on this. Women on my mother's side have a certain body type that wouldn't be needing breast augmentation and my appearence takes after my mother's side. However, I'm very concerned about the whole thing, only because I have to wonder why on earth so many people want the surgery.

Anyway, I'm sure the obvious reason for women getting breast implants is that they aren't satisfied with their bust size. That I have to question in and of itself. Many of the girls who don't like having small boobs have slim frames in the first place, so it would only be natural that their breasts would be smaller. I hate seeing these women with near ballerina body structures get these C cup/D cup implants. I don't think they realized how unproportional and fake it looks. That isn't the only thing that contributes to a fake appearence, considering some women just have big boobs naturally so it doesn't always look fake. That is just something that contributes to the fake appearence but what really makes it look unnatural is all the rest of the traits I'm about to list.


Sometimes breast augmentation can result in the most aesthetically hideous results. Many breast implants have the weirdest, most unnatural shape I have ever seen. Natural breasts gently slope to a roundness then curve back under, while fake ones are shaped so perfectly they look like they've been restrained in the world's strongest push-up bra for way too long and got stuck that way. Most breasts are slightly uneven...fake ones almost never are. Sometimes there can be skin rippling and large, noteable scarring. The kinds of incisons they make where they have to take the nipple off can leave signifigant scarring and the nipples could even be placed back on the breast irregularly. I think the most repulsive one is placement on the chest. If a comestic surgeon puts it up too high, it look ridiculous. Then there is always the factor they stick straight out...all the time. I hate seeing a 40 year old who has gotten the surgery and is more perky than a 20 year old. It's creepy.

Then, of course, there is the most important reason, the health risks. There could be a loss of sensation in the nipple and breasts entirely or sensetivity could dramatically increase. Then of course there is the possibility of rupture, which I thought sounded most terrifying out of all the health risks I've read. Sometimes the procedure can result in incredibly serious, like excessive loss of breast tissues. Though there is little chance of tissue necrosis happening in a patient it still happens and shows just how serious breast augmentation surgery is. Sometimes the implants can even interfere with cancer screenings! After reading about the risks, even if they can be dramatized, I had to wonder why someone would want to take all these risks for purely cosmetic reasons.


A lot of these women don't realize what they're getting into when they get the surgery. Sure, they listen to their doctor and recgonize the medical risks but I mean the changes. Most of these women think that if they have bigger boobs they'll automatically look amazing in anything or it will solve all their beefs with their own appearence. I'm here to say that such an idea is pure rubbish. When you're flat-chested fitting into things (especially those atrocious 80's clothing all the designers are making nowadays) is a cakewalk (or so it seems, I really wouldn't know) compared to when you have boobs, at least. I can't tell you how many times I have walked out of a store totally pissed off because the shirts were all made for people who don't have to wear a bra or just don't look right. Bra shopping is twice as hard because only those pricey but good quality Victoria's Secret bras will hold you up correctly. It can be a nightmare sometimes if you have little to no patience for shopping (and that would be me and no, I'm not trying to make it sound tragic, just making a point.) If women are going to get breast enchancement they better have the ability to change their style to conform to their new body type unless they want to wear unflattering clothing.


Though it is no one's choice but their own I don't think it's a good idea. If you got it, you got it, if you don't, you don't. I'm not going to go out and get a butt implant because my butt is small. I'll deal. Unless it is interfereing with your health or you are disfigured I really think its ridiculous to get cosmetic surgery. But, like I said, ultimately it is their choice and who gives a shit what I think?

Finally, I have to say this when it comes to breast enhancement in general: Don't you people have anything better to do with your money then get fake boobs?


But then again, I suppose you could counter with: Don't I have anything better to talk about then fake boobs?
