I know we’ve been harping away at this big news story about the french company that sold thousands of faulty implants many of which were unfortunately implanted in a lot of patients. But this stuff needs to be aired out so it can ensure that no other companies will be able to pull off such [...]
The arm of the government in France that deals with health and medical devices, sort of like our FDA here in the US, has issued a warning to French women who received a particular brand of silicone breast implant recently that they may want to get screenings. They even said the women may want to [...]
I must admit, I had never heard of this breast implant complication before happening across it while reading about other information having to do with breast augmentation surgery. It’s pretty astounding to see pictures of symmastia, I’ll tell you that. It looks almost like one uni-boob, if I may be so vulgar. What symmastia is, [...]
Apparently there is still lingering concern around the approved use of silicone breast implants, even though the FDA released them for approval a few short years ago, to be used not only in breast reconstruction patients, but also in women who were seeking breast augmentation cosmetic surgery. Silicone implants have long been idealized as the [...]
A woman recently showed off her gigantic, ridiculously large, I’m sure record-setting breast implants to the media, claiming she had gotten them through multiple operations (duh). Thank goodness the type of breast implants that she got which allowed her to expand to such epic proportions, called “string” breast implants, which we discussed here first several [...]
Many women who receive breast implants are pleased with them. Some are not, but those are the ones who usually get revision surgery to make them bigger (often times women get them smaller, trying to be conservative, but then find they actually would have liked larger ones after the surgery in this bigger is better [...]
Well, if this doesn’t sound like a supremely bad idea, I don’t know what does. There is a newer form of plastic surgery being marketed as “awake” plastic surgery, where the patient is not fully anesthetized into a twilight sleep, which is the most common way to get cosmetic surgery. Especially very invasive plastic surgery [...]
This is definitely a case of taking breast augmentation, and actually just plastic surgery in general waaaay too far, and at way to young of an age too. A 23 year old woman, for her little amount of time here in this life, had undergone her sixth breast augmentation surgery, and suffered complications, apparently from [...]
Well, anyone who pays any attention whatsoever to the gossip columns probably heard a little while ago that reality star and plastic surgery addict Heidi Montag was having regrets about her 10 (or more) plastic surgeries, all performed in one day on her poor body. And what is the reason for her regret? It’s mostly [...]
We’ve all heard the worst of the worst horror stories about women who have undergone breast augmentation surgery and come out with terrible stories to tell. Some of them don’t have these stories until a while after their procedure. Sometimes the problem does not make itself obvious right away if your body is rejecting the [...]
When I read this story it almost sounded like something out of a movie that I have recently seen called Repo Men with Jude Law and Forrest Whitaker. It’s a futuristic story that’s actually so odd that when I heard what it was about I thought the movie must be totally ludicrous. However, Repo Men [...]
Well, it’s no secret that silicone breast implants usually give a superior surgical outcome to their close cousin, the saline breast implant. Silicone gel implants simply provide a more natural feel to them, although the look of silicone breast implants are often very close to the appearance of saline – usually. Female patients who had [...]
Well, this is quite a kick in the pants for silicone breast implant patients, if you ask me. The FDA is recommending that any patient that chooses to get silicone, as opposed to the safer and less interfering saline implant, get an MRI, which is a full body scan, every two years to ensure that [...]
Every reality show has girls with real and fake boobs, it’s almost a given these days, let’s face it. Survivor is definitely no exception. Survivor goes for ratings with some of the beauties it casts, and they usually have to be natural beauties, because they go weeks and weeks without a hair dryer, face soap, [...]
It seems that the Natrelle brand of breast implants has really taken off since they announced the lift of the ban on silicone implants. For women who want more natural looking breast implant options, this is probably a good thing, although I will admit the idea of silicone in your body still puts many at [...]
Women’s search for better looks has gone far beyond the usual make-up and waxing. Since men are more attracted to what a woman’s body has to offer, they are willing to take surgical procedures for breast implants to increase body-look impression. Yes, this is unfortunate, but it’s true, at least in a lot of women’s [...]
I was reading the other day about saline breast implants, and I had never known that there were two different types of silicone shells (yes, although saline implants are filled with harmless saline, their shells are still made of silicone because of it’s durability and dependability, it’s the silicone gel filling that cause the major [...]
Those women who desire to have larger breasts via breast augmentation or breast implant surgery, have a couple of options these days when it comes to what materials they will be having implanted into their chest to make their breasts appear larger. The FDA approved silicone breast implants to be re-introduced into general cosmetic surgery [...]
Apparently breast augmentation surgery, where an encased implant is put into the chest of women desiring larger breasts, is the most popular elective plastic surgery now. It used to be behind other operations in the plastic surgery arena, but it is now the coveted number one spot for surgeries. Guess how many women undergo the [...]
I just can’t help it, when I look at breast implants that literally look painful to have, I just wonder, why did these women think that they needed to go THAT big? I mean, I know that in this increasingly breast obsessed world that bigger is better, but have they considered what carrying this heavy [...]
Here’s how I feel about plastic surgery. If it makes you happy, and you’re prepared for the outcome to be less than perfect, then you go ahead and do it. Don’t go in to it with unrealistic expectations of total and pure perfection, or of this making you happy and fulfilled, because my friends, you [...]
I have to admit, I love Sharon Osbourne. Some people think she’s a control freak and intercedes in every aspect of her husband Ozzy Osbournes life. I tend to disagree. I think that she’s a great business manager and a strong woman, and I love that she doesn’t censor herself or try to come off [...]
Women who are interested in getting breast implants are now going to be able to “test drive” some of the different sizes they may be interested in, and also the type of breast implants they are thinking about having used for their upcoming potential breast enlargement surgery. I think we talked about this a little [...]
It’s amazing what types of shows become hits on tv because Americans (we’re not the only ones though), seem to be obsessed with Train Wreck tv. The trashier the reality stars are, the more we eat it up. Hey, it’s fun to watch other people be totally incapable of running a smooth, drama free, intelligent [...]
It’s hard to say that all breast implants many times feel hard to the touch, but there are many implants that do, and that’s just because they are not a really soft material like natural breast tissue is, and it’s very hard to mimic real breast tissue in the breast augmentation process, no matter how [...]
A lot of women with breast implants like them, however the usual common complaint is that they sometimes feel hard, and not too natural. This is because breast implants can feel different at different times, depending on how cold the person is and how tense their muscles are contracting around the implants, or conversely, how [...]
I always write about the show Big Brother and it’s female star’s breasts, well, more specifically, their usually enhanced assets, so this year is no exception. I’m a big fan of the show Big Brother, and this season was no exception. Jordan, the bubbly innocent blond from the south with the irresistably adorable southern drawl, [...]
Although some women may not know it, even the ones who are in the position to take advantage of Uncle Sam’s tax breaks for those that have been surgically altered for cosmetic purposes, there are certain professions that the US government allows women to use their breast implant surgery as a tax writeoff at the [...]
A beautiful blond, skinny model who models frequently for Maxim magazine named Monica Hansen, is suing her plastic surgeon, claiming that he used photos of her breast implant work that he had performed on his website to help promote his business. I’m assuming that this has merit and she did not sign off on an [...]
Someone forwarded this to me from the company that is releasing this new information soon on a new breast implant that very well may replace the current silicone implant, if the trials go well. Since a lot of women are looking for alternatives that are softer, more natural looking and less likely to cause issues [...]
My boyfriend sometimes like to watch the WWE. That’s right, the World Wrestling Entertainment stuff. They used to be called WWF but after the World Wildlife Fund fought that, they decided to change their name to WWE. And they’ve really exploded over the past twenty years or so. I was never a fan, and I [...]
These days, considering the popularity of women’s magazines that show busty models with teeny other parts, and the desire for women to be more feminine and sexy , it’s no wonder plastic surgery for breast augmentation is such a popular way to get larger breasts. That being said, you should know that there are some [...]
This is from an article that I recently had published that compares gummy bear, or cohesive gel breast implants, with silicone and also with saline implants. Enjoy! Breast Implant operations continue to be among the top five most popular and requested plastic surgeries performed here in the United States. Not only has breast augmentation made [...]
Sarah Blewden, an aspiring professional boxer, after being a former model, was denied the request to fight in the ring professionally in a boxing club after it was disclosed that she had breast implant surgery back in 2003. Officials denied the request for her to fight in the ring after she started the hobby but [...]
I just read an astonishing story about a Brazilian model and actress who had a gallon of silcone injected into her breast implants to make her a FF cup, which is ridiculously large, and I can’t even imagine lugging those big puppies along all the time. I have to ask myself, women who get breast [...]
Before I get into this story, let me make it clear that the doctors who performed the research that led them to conclude that a rare type of T cell cancer may be related to the silicone casing on breast implants, have already said that the odds of the cancer being directly linked and causing [...]
I just received an interesting press release for a new program for breast implant patients where the patient can actually “test drive” different breast implant sizes before making their final decision to buy the right size and get the implant procedure done. I wondered how this could be, since it seems that two separate breast [...]
An exciting development in the ever increasingly popular elective plastic surgery of breast augmentation has happened where patients can get a highly detailed glimpse that is also very realistic, of what they would look like with certain sized breast implants. I actually saw a demonstration of the new 3D breast augmentation and implant simulator online and [...]
There are so many women looking to get breast implants these days. As one movie put it, about the beauty contest industry “jeez, these days they get them (breast implants) at birth!”, and that’s kind of the norm these days. Now, if a woman has a nice chest, we assume automatically that she has had [...]
A friend and I were shopping just the other day and were talking about a woman who wanted to get breast implants. The interesting thing about this particular woman though is that she had perfectly nice breasts to begin with, so we were wondering why she wanted them. Now granted, I know that Wonder Bras [...]
Well, when we talked about this, or some other similar site a while ago, I thought that it seemed like it was kind of a cheap way to get men to pay for your implants, but when I read another story about it recently, I decided, hey, if women want to spend a lot of [...]
