Adjustable Breast Implants?
Yeah, at first when I read this, I thought a woman could go in and get her breasts augmented with implants, and then just adjust their size whenever she feels like it.Â
But, thankfully, this whimsical thought is not correct, and adjustable post surgical implants are really only offered if they are medically necessary, and mostly for women who are going in for breast implants due to a symmetry issue in their breasts. In other words, women who genuinely have a medical need for disfiugured breasts may have these, and I suspect the very priveleged may have a stab at getting this type of implant too.
Adjustable breast implants are a saline filled breast implant with a silicone shell, has a tube that they may inject saline into it up to six months after they get the initial breast augmentation procedure.  Surgeons try to get it right the first time, and they do try to stay away from offering these adjustable post operative implants, because really they should only be available for people who have asymmetry problems with their breasts. The breasts are adjusted up to six months after the initial operation, and it is a surgical procedure, so it is not to be taken lightly. Â
The port that goes in to the implant which allows them to inflate/deflate the implant post operatively can actually make you more susceptible to infection, another reason why surgeons try to stay away from offering the adjustable implant unless it is medically necessary. So, you can see why plastic surgeons try to stay away from this option.Â
Not only do they not want to be at the whim of fickle customers who want their implants adjusted simply to look good in certain outfits or for a certain time of year, but they also do not want to increase the risk of infection, and a port into the implant would do just that. Â

Herbal Male Breast Enhancement Question
I got this question recently from a reader (whose name is withheld for privacy purposes), about herbs and natural nutrients that may be used for herbal male breast enhancement. He specifically sounds like he wants to use his own herbs and put them together himself as a self administered herbal male feminization supplementation plan. Here is the question, and our answer.

Should Men Be Tested for Breast Cancer Gene Too?
This is not so shocking, but actually is somewhat of a surprise that they have already found out this information so early in the research stages of a new field : Genetic testing. We had posted a couple posts ago about how genetic testing has huge implications for breast cancer research, and for women who have family member who had breast cancer and may carry the gene that increase the risk exponentially.
Well, it turns out that not only can women harbor this gene that causes the increase in risk for breast cancer, but men can also carry the gene, and may want to be tested for it as well. Researchers say that the particular gene defect they look for may determine a man’s likelihood of developing breast cancer (men can get it too), and it also may increase their odds of developing other types of cancers like prostate cancer.
In fact, the detection of the specific genes responsible for increasing breast cancer risk actually predicts almost double the chance for men to develop prostate and pancreatic cancer and possibly skin cancer as well, so they are encouraged to get tested, especially if women in the family have had breast cancer (this makes them more likely to have the gene).Â
While the genes responsible for the increased risk are mostly common in women of European descent, they can also be detected in women of any national origin. Don’t forget it is possible for men to get male breast cancer as well, but it is just not as common as it is in females. Â

Victoria Beckhams Big Implants
Victoria Beckham definitely has breast implants. After all, how could such a tiny, otherwise very skinny woman, maintain such an ample bosom while keeping the rest of her frame extremely whittled down? I’m not sure exactly when “Posh” spice got her implants in, but I do recall seeing topless photos of her and her hubbie (the delicious David Beckham) sunbathing a long time ago, we’re talking before she popped three kids out.Â
Let me tell you, not only was Victoria much “healthier” looking – still thin, but not rail, bone thin as she is now, and she definitely had natural boobs, which you could tell were natural because they hung as natural breasts do. Now, Victoria has sadly decided to get implants that are a little too obvious, and push them up all the time in push up bras so they look ridiculously obvious that they are indeed breast implants.Â
In fact, a picture of her I recently saw on my favorite gossip site, PerezHilton.com, showed Victoria leaving the house in a black tight turtle neck with apparently no bra on, and yet, there were her melon-like breast implants, not moving anywhere! And, of course one of the telltale signs of breast implants is a constantly hard nipple, like Pamela Anderson and other breast implant recipients exhibit so often.Â
Talk about poster children for breast implant alternatives. I really wish women would realize that when it comes to breast implants, less really IS better!Â
