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 [...]
Well, I didn’t know this, but apparently you cannot have breast implants and be in the army. Hmm, wonder if there are some ladies in the army that just didn’t disclose the fact they have implants and got through anyways? I’m not sure of the events surround this, but a twenty three year old woman [...]
If you’ve ever looked into getting breast implants, or breast augmentation surgery, you may already know that there are two general options for getting the implants surgically implanted into your chest where your breasts go. One is not normally recommended, and although it is cheaper to perform, many plastic surgeons do not like it for [...]
I received the following information from a gentleman who had some interesting statistics on the acceptability of breast augmentation surgery today, and how it is still the most commonly performed elective surgery here in the US. I thought you might be able to use this: a new survey done by the National Women’s Health Resource [...]
I know we’ve rehashed this story several times over, but it seems to be getting fairly extensive media coverage, and this latest study is one of several that has come to the same conclusion about women who have breast augmentation surgery : They are a significantly higher suicide risk. Almost 400,000 women received the breast [...]
I recently learned that an MRI may be recommended for plastic surgery patients who receive silicone breast implants, since silicone breast implants have now been reintroduced into the plastic surgery field as an acceptable breast implant after being banned amid safety concerns here in the US for several years. Some people agree with the reintroduction [...]
Well, yeah, duh, right? I guess it is common sense that the reason women get breast implants is not only, of course, to have bigger breasts, but at the root of the desire to have bigger or more shapely, or lifted breasts, is that they are hoping this will boost their body confidence, or their [...]
I was standing in line at the grocery store the other day, when lo and behold, I predictably got sucked into one of the gossip mags that endlessly claims to have the “insider scoop” on celebrity plastic surgery, affairs, make ups, break ups, and basically everything about a celebrity that you’d want to know, and [...]
Not only is a former contestant of the hugely popular reality show (that I’ll admit I’m addicted to, after making fun of reality TV for months and finally getting sucked into this addictive show), Carolina Gynning, is not only auctioning off her huge DD sized mega breast implants on Ebay, but the good hearted contestant [...]
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. But, thankfully, this whimsical thought is not correct, and adjustable post surgical implants are really only offered if they are medically necessary, and [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Brazil is getting quite a problem with illegally performed cosmetic surgeries, including breast implants, that bait Brazilian women who want anything from Botox, to breast implants, to a nose job, into getting their service dirt cheap, but many times at a price. You see, these “doctors” are not even licensed many times to practice medicine, [...]
This is a loaded question, because it can vary from woman to woman when you ask women who have had the breast implant operation. Usually answers vary from ” I did it for myself because I never liked the size of my breasts and felt self conscious about them in bathing suits”, to “I want [...]
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 [...]
We’ve seen only a small shift in the change of the cost of breast implants over the past few years, and mostly we’ve seen a larger range of “discounted” breast surgeries offered. A higher end boob job by a really good plastic surgeon who is either world renowned or a Hollywood favorite can cost Hollywood’s [...]
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 [...]
If you’ve ever done any research on breast implants, and the different methods doctors can currently use to put the implants in your chest cavity, then you’ve definitely read about transumbilical breast implants. What are they? Well they are implants that are inserted through (“trans”), the belly button (“umbilical”), or navel, however you want to [...]
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 [...]
