When I first saw this in my obligatory web surfing the other day, I did a double take. I was on a website for a popular cosmetic surgeon’s office, and noticed an ad for what was called “gummy bear breast implants”. So naturally my curiousity got the best of me, and I clicked on the [...]
Looks like some women will get exactly what they’ve wanted, silicone breast implants back on the market. Despite protests from several groups of concerned citizens and some existing safety concerns, the FDA has decided to completely lift the ban on silicone breast implants once and for all. The only approved silicone breast implant though is [...]
Most women think that there are no restriction on getting breast augmentation (breast implants), but in fact there are, although most women with these certain exceptions may not think about getting breast implants in the first place and the circumstances usually are pretty few and far between. These women can consider the use of a [...]
A consumer advocate group called “Public Citizen” is calling for an in depth investigation into allegations by a whistle blowing party that one of the companies pushing for permanent silicone breast implant approval has withheld key safety information (most likely to the detriment of the approval of silicone implants), in an effort to make them [...]
Just a few measly weeks ago, it was reported that a middle eastern woman’s life was saved after her silicone implants deflected flaming hot shrapnel from coming straight for her heart, and basically saved her life, although of course then her implant had to be replaced. Well, here’s another odd story of a woman’s breast [...]
Back in August, an Israeli woman reported that she was almost certain that it was not the saving grace of God or any other intervention that saved her life when hot shrapnel went straight through her chest and toward her heart. She says she believes her silicone breast implants actually saved her life by slowing [...]
I think I may have already reported on this new information on the breast implant link to cancer and suicide, but there has been more news on the subject lately, so naturally, I’m reporting again! There has always been either speculation or maybe just the natural thought process and concern that there may be a [...]
What are your alternatives to breast implants? Those hard, annoying things that many times end up looking like inflated balloons rather than natural breasts? Here are some breast implant alternatives you may know about already: Devices like Brava, which use suction to gradually naturally enlarge breasts Herbal Supplements Other types of pills Pregnancy Pumps (I [...]
A while ago I had read a story about how Tara Reid -the raspy voiced, partying actress who seems to lose more and more respect all the time (remember the “frankenboob” incident?), had soybean oil breast implants. I’m not sure about you, but I saw the infamous pictures of her newly done breast implants, and [...]
It recently came out in the news that scientists have cautioned against taking studies that had connected high platinum concentrations and women with silicone breast implants. Previously, the studies concluded that women that had the silicone devices implanted tended to have higher concentrations of the heavy metal platinum in their blood stream. High counts of [...]
Unfortunately even the best boob jobs give tell tale signs that they are breast implants, especially when a woman disrobes. They may look as natural as can be (well, sometimes) in clothes, but if you look at a set of breasts in the nude, you can usually decipher whether they are natural breasts or not.For [...]
In a recent story on the FDA conditional approval of silicone breast implants, which were removed from general population access for implantation devices used in breast augmentation procedures, has been called into serious question by many groups concerned for the health of women who will be receiving the controversial implants. One such particularly outspoken consumer [...]
Apparently some people were not happy with the FDA’s decision to conditionally approve the return of silicone breast implants on a trial basis. Some felt the FDA was swayed by certain companies with a vested interest in the return of the silicone implants, but an advisory panel has cleared the FDA and its deciding authorities [...]
Carmen Electra is known for being a sexpot, and especially known, like Pamela Anderson, for her larger than life breast implants, which, in my opinion, overpower her petite frame and look a little too globe-like. Carmen would be a perfect ten if she just downsized her breast implants a little, in my opinion. Carmen has [...]
A British biotechnology firm called AorTech was getting close to clinically testing and putting patients under trials in 2004 on what it says are the “next generation†breast implants which are supposed to be much less prone to leaking and/or rupturing and also have a much more natural feel, which is one of the biggest complaints with women with traditional saline breast implants [...]
In weird and weirder news about breast implants I found an interesting if not kind of creepy article about a developing study on using human stem cells to locally grow new fatty breast cells and tissue as an alternative to breast implants for reconstructive surgery (as in, for women who’ve had mastectomies or other breast [...]
A lot of women get breast implants, here their plastic surgeon tell them clearly that they must continue to maintain them by massaging them 2-5 times daily for at least 15 seconds at a time, and then completely forget what they were told once they’re “used to” the implants and they’ve had them a while. [...]
In recent studies to further confirm that breast implants have no impact on a patient’s likelihood of getting breast cancer, findings went a step further and apparently found that women with breast implants actually have a LOWER risk of breast cancer than the average woman. Not a significantly compelling as in you should run out and [...]
My opinion is no, but apparently some of these celebrity plastic surgery blogs and sites are saying they suspect she has. Gwen Stefani (who I adore – she’s got great style and is a really cute girl), started off extremely flat chested in her early days in her band No Doubt. If you look at [...]
String breast implants are now illegal in the US. They are breast implants that are extremely risky, and were mostly used on women in the porn industry, who wanted outrageously sized breasts. I’ve seen pictures of women with these string implants, and they are utterly disgusting looking, not to mention, they look as if they [...]
Porn star Tera Patrick, the gorgeous, model-looking porn star who doesn’t look like she belongs in porn, except for a ridiculous body and huge breasts, looks like she’s gotten DD breast implants on her recent cover photo on FHM Men’s magazine. They are comparable to the breast implants that Jenna Jameson, another popular porn star [...]
Have you heard about this? This website called MyFreeImplants.com is a site where you are encouraged to pose provocatively in order to get people (I’m assuming mostly men who happen to fancy you, or at least your provocative pictures) to donate to your cause until you have enough money from these chumps (oops did I [...]
I was just reading and interesting article on the likelihood of capsular contracture in patients with breast implants and can you believe that it’s as much as 50% ? I knew it was a risk, but I had no idea that the estimates were this high. Some women from what I understand do develop this [...]
Well, this question has been asked many times before, and the answer is, it depends. It depends on what kind of breast implants you have. For example, if you have over the muscle implants, these many times can obstruct the view when you’re getting a mammogram, and make the detection – at least early detection [...]
Breast Augmentation Questions – Your FAQs Thinking about have breast augmentation surgery? You most definitely have lots of questions, and you probably have the same questions that most women have who are thinking about undergoing this big-decision surgery. Below you’ll find some of the most common questions women have about breast augmentation surgery, and their [...]
Lots of women want to know how sore, and where they’ll be sore – after getting breast augmentation surgery. It really depends on the individual, but most women report that they feel very sore under the arms, even if this wasn’t where their incision was for the implant to be inserted. They also report feeling [...]
Someone mentioned something interesting today. They said they would want to keep the fact they had implants completely to themselves, especially from people at their work place. I completely agree. There still tends to be a bit of a stigma to having had plastic surgery – especially a boob job, when you are needing to [...]
Did you know that some women can only get very small breast implants? I know, I didn’t know this either. I was actually talking to someone who got them years ago, and was only aiming to be a larger B cup, but the doctor told her after the surgery that he couldn’t even go that [...]
What is the “shelf breast phenomena”? Well it’s a nice little euphamism for women who get breast implants that are way too big for their frame and did not have enough breast tissue to make the implants look real and soft enough, and end up with a “shelf” that almost looks like you could set [...]
The breast implant/suicide link is in the news again, this time with conclusive evidence that women with breast implants tend to be at a higher risk for suicidal tendencies than women without breast implants. The reason for the suicide risk is still fuzzy, but several studies have come to similar conclusions recently that there is [...]
I’m continuing the thread of thought from the last post – Frequently asked questions about breast augmentation surgery. Starting off with number 5, since we left off at number 4… 5. Size – how big should I go? Unless you really strive for the artificial, Pamela Anderson boobs (of today – her old boobs actually [...]
I encourage you read this personal breast augmentation story article. It’s good stuff. Shows the process from beginning to end. Very informative if you’re thinking about breast augmentation surgery. Share This Story!
Sorry had to pull a lame april fools joke – like you really thought I was serious though. Actually a lot of women search the internet to find out how they can get free breast implants. Countless radio programs, TV shows, shock jocks around the world and even internet websites offer free breast implants for [...]
Ok, so if you’ve done any research on breast implants, or you’ve ever considered getting them, you’ve probably done a little reading on how long these suckers last in your body, right? Or..maybe not. At least when I started doing research on breast implants, I had no idea that they were not guaranteed for or [...]
One of my friends had an interesting theory. To her, it seemed that the breast implant craze didn’t really start until the trendsetters of Hollywood made it the status quo to be thin but also have large, voluptuous breasts. Who did she think those trendsetters were? None other than two platinum blond former Playboy playmate [...]
I saw a thing on one of those Awful Plastic Surgery sites where they “reveal” who’s had what done in Hollywood and it was said that Tara Reid has implants made of soybean oil. Now I have heard of these types of implants before, and I thought they were in their preliminary states of usage [...]
As a continuation of that last post and stream of thought, there are actually clinical data and studies which correlate breast size dissatisfaction with psychological stress – the biggest being doubt about ones own femininity and feelings of extreme inadequacy, which leads to the motivation to get cosmetic surgery or seek alternative methods such as [...]
Mentor Corporation (NYSE:MNT): –65% of Survey Respondents Were 35 Years of Age or Older, Married and Mothers –88% of Survey Respondents Agreed With the Statement “Breast Augmentation Is a Personal Choice That Helps Women Achieve the Confidence and Well-Being To Flourish In Other Areas of Their Lives” –Survey Conducted With 200 Breast Augmentation Patients and [...]
I’ve noticed quite a few people have come upon this weblog while searching for a certain type of breast implant that, to my knowledge, is no longer in use due to some serious complications. It’s called a string breast implant, and what it is, or was – was a breast implant that had string like [...]
