Natrelle Breast Implants
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 unease, and there are some seriously fired up consumer rights groups over the lift on the ban.
However, it is important to note that silicone breast implant makers have committed to making these silicone encapsulated implants safer by reinforcing them and protecting against rupture and leakage. Of course, many may scoff at this, but at least it’s some measure of comfort that they are a bit safer as a silicone breast implant alternative.
The problem with saline implants, although they would be completely harmless if they broke in the body, because they are nothing but a salt water that is harmlessly absorbed into the body if they break, is that they simply are not as natural feeling as silicone.
Silicone implants made by Natrelle are offered in several different sizes and shapes, and they offer options for nearly every desired breast implant look. If you want them shaped a little more natural, or you want them positioned higher or lower on your chest, you can pretty much get customized looks for how you want your new boobs to look and feel.
They also offer the “gummy bear” implant, which is a cohesive silicone product that tends to feel and bounce a little more naturally, more like real breasts do (keep in mind, most implants will never totally look and feel like real breasts though, unless you have LOTS of padding of real breast tissue over them.) Some women may choose to have implants but also to have more natural breast tissue as well, sort of masking the implant.
If you are one of those women, you may want to look into a natural breast enhancement option so you can enhance the breast tissue as well, but still have the implant for the lift and contour and shape and size that you desire, if that makes sense!
Natrelle implants have gained enormous popularity because they are so diverse and they feel better than a lot of other implants do, so it’s worth a gander if you’re in the market for breast implants – or new breast implants if you already have them!
There has been a lot of controversy surrounding the question on whether transexuals should be allowed to be covered under insurance for having surgeries to change their gender identity or to enlarge their breasts if they are a biological male that wants to become a woman.
There are people on both sides of this issue, and it’s interesting because we just had this same discussion at my job a little while ago about whether companies should allow transexuals, who really do want to be the opposite sex and truly believe that they were meant to be the opposite sex, they were just born with the wrong body parts, to be covered for these types of altering surgeries.
Especially since it barely affects their bottom line because of it’s rarity . The argument is really that you shouldn’t treat a psychological disorder any differently than a physical one, and that since these men and women really are truly psychologically inflicted because they can’t express themselves as the sexual being that they are, it causes psychological distress and almost a sort of identity crisis, resulting in loss of life enjoyment that everyone deserves.
There have actually been a small hand full of court cases where transexuals have sued insurance companies who deny coverage for such surgeries or hormone therapy. One man recently sued because he could not get male to female breast enlargement surgery. I don’t know the outcome of that litigation, but it sure may set a precedent, whether favorable or unfavorable, for those that pursue this sort of legal action in the future.
This wild story is out of China, where people are concerned after baby girls as young as 15 months old are developing breasts, as if they were starting puberty early – VERY EARLY. The reason for this? The suspected cause is a powdered formula that these children were all fed, and it is being looked at as the cause behind the hormonal turmoil that’s causing the early development.
The baby girls were tested for hormone levels and their hormone levels were sky high, not what they should be in baby girls when their hormones are pretty much still dormant until they hit puberty.
If you can believe it, after the complaints rolled in that this formula seemed to be causing super early breast development in little girls, a request to investigate the formula was denied by authorities, citing the fact that they could not investigate based on a few complaints.
I believe this would have been investigated right away here in the US, which is a departure because China is notoriously big time in on the governing and regulating of just about everything.
The company that makes the formula insists that it is safe for use by babies and that it does not contain any hormonal substances or anything that is not dicslosed in the ingredients label. Hmm, then how the heck are these young girls exhibiting signs of pre-pubescence so early??

Breast Asymmetry and Surgery
Breast asymmetry is pretty common. In fact, like every other body part which we have two of such as our legs and arms and ears, they are never truly identical. One is usually longer, shorter, wider or skinnier than the other one is, creating an asymmetry. But usually this asymmetry is so subtle that it is undetectable to the human eye. This makes it insignificant and unnoticeable for most people since it’s is so under the radar of visibility.
However, when there is such a discrepancy that it is noticeable, and creates an obvious asymmetry, that’s when it becomes a problem that creates self consciousness and esteem issues. Many women actually have noticeable breast size differences that make them extremely self conscious about this important part of the female anatomy and of female sexuality in general.
There are many different kinds of breast asymmetry, and many of them can be corrected through plastic surgery since we have come such a long way with the surgeons knife over the past few years. It used to be that breast reductions and surgeries to correct asymmetries were something that you went in to just hoping you might come out looking halfway decent, but nowadays, as long as your surgeon is good, you will almost assuredly come out looking great.
Breast asymmetries ranges from one breast being larger than the other by a significant amount, to one hanging much lower than the other on the chest, to abnormalities in the shape of the breast itself or the nipples on the breasts.
Asymmetry in the human body in general is something that a lot of people strive against. Symmetry is part of what the “beauty ideal” is made up of here in the US, and most people get plastic surgery on various parts of their bodies to correct features that they feel are less than symmetrical with the other surrounding parts of their body. Symmetry is basically the same thing as balance, and when the body looks out of balance, it creates confusion to the human eye, which registers as “not pretty”.
It’s not really fair, but hey, what about beauty really is!?
Many women who have breasts that are simply too large shy away from your typical breast reduction surgery because of the amount of unattractive scarring it tends to leave on the tissue that is left behind. It also does not address the issue of sagging breast tissue that is left behind unless a simultaneous breast lift is done alongside it, or of course, afterwards.
Well, a new procedure may offer women with off-the-charts breast sizes who are self conscious or actually made physically uncomfortable by the large breasts a new option that may be far better than the old one. This is a new procedure that has been worked on by a plastic surgeon out of Houston named Gary Horndeski, who has done what he dubs “engineering” of the female breast to make it look better and smaller of course, when he’s done.
He uses quite a proprietary technique too. He says that he sculpts a sort of “cone” out of hanging skin that is on the sides of the breasts and would otherwise be left there to hang, and inserts it into the breasts to give them more shape and lift. Of course, there is also breast tissue removed as there is in a traditional breast reduction surgery, but there is another step that he takes that sounds similar to another procedure we had talked about not too long ago – the internal “bra”.
That’s right, he actually says he can also make internal bra straps to add additional lift and support to the breast tissue that is still left there when he’s done. So a woman that undergoes this type of overall breast engineering and resculpturing enjoys not only downsized breasts, but also perkier, more pert breasts as well – and who knows, she may even be able to go braless for the first time in years!
I know that those of us that don’t feel our breasts are big enough can’t imagine what it’s like to be on the other side of the spectrum, but I’ve heard lots of complaints from large chested women. They say they make their back hurt, and they can’t even wear cute, tighter clothes because they feel too self conscious in them.
In this day and age of the thought that the bigger the breasts are the better, and an overall increase in cup size as we women have evolved, natural breast enlargement alternatives abound on the market for the woman who is looking to enlarge her breasts naturally rather than go under the knife for breast implants.
It’s all a matter of personal choice, and when given a choice between the less natural look and feel of implants, and having their own breast tissue, only larger, a lot of women are going for the alternatives that are present for them to choose from.
There have been herbal breast enlargement pills out there that have done very well, but often have mixed results between women, and there are even devices like breast suction devices ala Brava, that enhance and enlarge the breasts over time via gentle suction that encourages the growth of one’s own breast tissue over several weeks.
The Brava device has even been used in conjunction with some other breast enlargement techniques that involved surgery for women who are willing to undergo both to get the most natural breast enlargement results possible.
There are non herbal supplements like the Bountiful Breast supplement that use different compounds to help naturally enlarge the breasts over time, and these have become incredibly popular with women who want to enlarge their breasts naturally.
Pueraria mirifica, an asian herb, has been used as a natural breast firmer and enlarger as well.
Supermodel and definitely multi millionaire Gisele Bundchen, who just may have the perceived “dream life” being married to football superstar Tom Brady and having good looks that money can’t buy but that people will pay for, has crossed a line in many women’s minds with her recent comments about breast feeding.
In a magazine interview, apparently the supermodel turned mom of a little infant boy, made some comments that every new mother should have to breast feed her child, and said something to the effect that there should be a law that says you have to breast feed your child for at least the first six months of their lives. She also made comments about how formula is full of chemicals and she’d never want to do that to her baby.
She is definitely entitled to her opinion, and it’s kind of a shame that people come under fire for saying what they feel, but you know these comments caused a firestorm because they came off as judgmental toward women with babies who just simply can’t breast feed. There are a myriad of reasons women cannot breast feed, it’s not just simple choice sometimes.
Women with jobs that work long hours whose employers aren’t all that patient with pumping several times a day, for example, are definite deterrents to breast feeding. Also, there are issues with extreme pain experienced by some women with breast feeding and the issues that can crop up simply with that alone. Of course women were upset, and Gisele had to clarify her comments.
I think women were upset because someone who makes millions of dollars and has every luxury at her disposal to breast feed, pump and nurture her child, made these comments. I can understand that. But let’s also give her a break, she is entitled to her opinion, even if you or I don’t like the way it “sounds”.
I guess I just feel like everyone has to be afraid to speak their mind these days. Sure, there are comments you wish people wouldn’t make, but isn’t that what the US is all about -free speach without fear of getting harassed for it?

Boobs of Big Brother 12
I confess, my husband and I are both huge fans of the guilty pleasure reality show Big Brother. Bring on the three hours of TV wasting times every week, we love it! Actually, the show is addictive and I can see why some people find themselves not only watching the show when it’s on television three days a week, but also tuning in to the Big Brother after dark show where you can pretty much sit and watch the house guests/contestants 24/7. Not that I would ever do that, I’m just sayin.
Anyways, it’s always fun to see what kind of boobs come into the house. And by boobs of course I mean female breasts, not morons or idiots as the other affectionate term might mean. This year it seems like almost every girl in the house has some sort of ample boobage, except for the already voted out, naturally skinny bisexual girl Annie. It’s a shame she got voted out early because she seemed like one of the smartest and most entertaining players dammit!
You have Cathy, the police woman, who I believe is the oldest player in the house, and she’s got a chest on her. Then you have tiny little Britney who either has some sort of modest boob job or just happens to be one of the lucky b’s that happens to have no body fat except on her chest.
Then you have Rachel, who is the huge busted cocktail waitress with fiery red hair and an obnoxious laugh. And by the way, those are totally fake. I thought at first she may be a naturally huge busted woman, but I got a good look at them in a bikini, and they’re implants. Sorry Brendon (her housemate/lover), but those are fake, even though I must say they look pretty darn good!

Cleaners Linked to Breast Cancer
Before I tell you about this interesting study, I must warn you that it has been criticized for being potentially misleading or even downright inaccurate. Now, of course, the people who are making these claims come from cleaning groups, but it’s always good to hear every side of the story. And quite frankly, I can see how such a study might be flawed since it is asking women, both those whom have had breast cancer and those who have not, to recall years back what types of cleaners they used around the house.
These types of studies are almost always somewhat flawed and open to criticism precisely because they do rely on people’s memories and maybe even their subconscious biases. Let’s face it, we all tend to remember things differently. Nonetheless, it’s good to hear out this study and make the decision for yourself as to whether you might want to change your cleaning products or at least mind the time that you are actually in contact with them.
A link was apparently seen between women who used certain types of common household cleaners and those that developed breast cancer. The link was only seen in certain types of cleaners, and one of them was mold cleaner, which I’m assuming is the kind you use to clean your shower and get that soap scum off, which I’m pretty sure nearly every women has in her cleaning arsenal.
This definitely made me think twice about getting in an enclosed tub or shower to clean my stuff myself when I thought about it. Another one that was identified as a possible factor in increasing breast cancer odds was air fresheners. I hate air fresheners, and honestly, I gotta say with this one, I’ve always felt like spraying those heavily perfumed sprays could not be good for my health. Heck, they SMELL like chemicals!
The key here is that you stay away from heavy chemical smells. The biggest offenders that were identified as being possible hormonal disrupters, which add to the likelihood of breast cancer, were the ones that were most heavily filled with chemicals, and chemicals often give off a very distinct and strong smell.
I remember talking to you about this woman perhaps as long as a few years ago. A Brazilian model named Sheyla Hershey, who is actually quite a beautiful young woman if not one with questionable judgment, may actually have her life endangered because of her pursuit of having the “largest breasts” in the world.
Talk about sacrificing your health for beauty, sheesh. Her implants, which are silicone, are the work of about nine implant operations to make them bigger and bigger. She has almost a gallon of silicone in each breast, which is insanely huge and a wonder that these breasts have held up as long as they have without major medical complications.
You have to wonder, not only what was she thinking, but also what the h her plastic surgeons thinking that allowed this sort of insanity. She now is suffering with a serious infection that if it is not successfully treated, could even end her life.
She will almost definitely have to reduce her enormous breasts because of this. The breasts, if you have not seen a picture of them yet, look like they are about the size of large soccer balls, they are ridiculous, actually maybe even bigger than soccer balls.
Hopefully she can pull through this infection ok, but more importantly hopefully this will make her realize that her health and well being are more important than a title or her appearance – personally I think she’d look more gorgeous au naturelle anyways.
Well, this is certainly a bummer, as I remember reading very promising-sounding news about this drug when it was approved by the FDA for the treatment of breast cancer tumors a couple years back. Avastin, a Roche breast cancer drug that was thought to help extend the lives of advanced breast cancer patients, apparently has not proven itself in that capacity over the time it has been on the market.
It did not work to prevent the growth of the tumors further either, which of course goes hand in hand with also not helping to extend the patient’s life, obviously a huge disappointment for Doctors and their patients who were using this drug hoping that it would work for them.
The catch with the approval of Avastin though, which explains why it is now being re-reviewed after a few years on the market, was that it went through what is termed as an “accelerated approval” based on promising preliminary studies and results before it went through approval for commercial sale. The catch was that the FDA wanted to see proof that it helped shrink breast cancer tumors in the patients it was given to once approved, and also to see proof that it extended their lives.
They did not see this proof in the short time it was on market though when it was compared to the use of chemotherapy alone. The really sad and tragic part of all this is that the patients who were on Avastin as well as chemotherapy also had a diminished quality of life, suffering from side effects of fatigue, high blood pressure and abnormally high whit blood cell levels.
The FDA now has a choice to remove the drug from market, or to keep it on, pending review. I am not sure what they should do here. I guess they really need to compare the quality of life issues with the benefit that the individual patient shows, and that would be tough to do since every patient reacts differently to different drugs.
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 minds, and hey, a lot of women get them for themselves let’s not forget that!
A woman is free to make a decision weather she would like to increase the size of her breasts, but rarely does she takes into consideration the after math of the operation.
Now, every human being has a history of complaining about the things they have after the purchase. There are also a lot of natural breast implant alternatives on the market today that are worth a gander if you are unhappy with your breast size.
No matter how long it took you to decide on the purchase, there will always be something you can find eligible for complaining. Complaining in the form of: ‘Maybe I shouldn’t have taken this color.’ or ‘the older version seemed better’, and etc.
After leaving the hospital with a new looks of breast implants, women instinctively look for flaws in the results. They start complaining about of the implants not giving the size they’ve expected; they are too big; they are too small; maybe I shouldn’t have done this; it is too painful; and etc.
All of these are unnecessary complains. Many preparations and patient’s decision are made before the operation table. Since they have decided on that kind of procedure, they should be fair enough to respect the results.
Complaints go further then the previous one and they seem to be more important. What women should be worry about is the aftermath of the operation. Some experience scar pain longer then it should be.
Many of them don’t know that breast implants don’t last forever. They need to be replaced (if the patient wishes) after two or three years. If not, the body’s health is in danger.
There is always a possibility of infection. Not every female body reacts the same after the procedure. Infections in these procedures are very rare, but need to be taken into consideration.
Another danger is Ruptured implants. As science goes further, ruptured implants become a thing of the past. Old implants may have the danger of rupturing and causing health problems.
Scar tissue forming around the implants sometimes tightens the implants. This will lead to different shape and harder implants. Putting all complaints into together in one place, it is clear the most of them are ‘painless’, meaning, not about post-operation situations. Some women have difficulties adapting to their new looks and fear that someone will find them unattractive.
Today, the world of medical science is moving forward into the future as fast as it can. With the help of modern technology, it can perform miracles as people once could only wish for. The most popular medical procedure is plastic surgery; an opportunity a human being to alter unpleasant places on the body. One man who had gynecomastia decided to do his male breast reduction by undergoing surgery, and had devastating consequences.
In the beginning, plastic surgery had just one goal, which is removing or fixing damaged places on the body’s surface. Most of those damages are first, second or third degree burns caused by accidents; Rhinoplasty – surgical procedure involving fixing or improving nose function; Liposuction- surgically removing extra body fat; and on and on.
But now plastic surgery is used far more often for improving body looks without an initial health problem. The most usual one is women breast implants. Many women are sensitive when it comes to the size of their breasts. If they are not satisfied with what nature has given them, they call a plasticized surgeon, medically able to enhance their breast size.
It is quite normal today for women to make a decision about breast implants. But as years go by, men started thinking about a possible similar procedure fit for them. Just like women, many men want to have macho-look like famous body builders and athletes. They put themselves through a medical procedure known as gynecomastia, giving their chest the size and look that body-builders work for years to achieve that goal.
As much as plastic surgery is safe and successful, it can also go the other way. Unsuccessful surgery results depend on many things, mostly, how the patient’s body will react to the procedure. Michael Bettinger says different. He is a former patient to Dr Lawrence Reed who surgically performed gynecomastia and left him with scars on his chest and numb nipples.
Not only did his nipples where left senseless, but they were also ‘out of position’ by the male breast reduction surgery. Mr. Bettinger filed a law suit against Dr Reed in Manhattan Supreme Court for $6 million. This law suit states the fact that doctors play a major role in medical surgery. Every surgeon has an obligation to a patient’s life when he is an operation. The same goes for voluntary plastic surgery.
There are two sides for every story but Dr Reed is unreachable for comment. Whether it is good to alter nature’s course through plastic surgery, people have different opinions, and they are entitled to it. Doctors are humans too, and like humans they are entitled to human mistakes, but not with the price of other human’s looks; god forbid – someone’s life.
Well, it looks like the uber champ of supplements, which also happens to enjoy huge commercial popularity and multiple studies being done on it’s potential health benefits, fish oil, has achieved yet another possible merit when it comes to preventive health. That new merit is a link to reduced risk of breast cancer in women ages 50 to 76 who took a fish oil supplement every day.
The study was done in comparison to several other popular herbal supplements that are sometimes equated with “female” health, and it was found that fish oil was the only common denominator when it came to breast cancer prevention. One of them was black cohosh, which was honestly the only one I saw on the list that I recognized as having potential female health benefits, which has been used in menopause remedies and things like that for women.
The others I either did not recognize, or never knew they were used in conjunction with breast health or female health.
The study was admittedly somewhat flawed though, and the researchers who commissioned this study would like a more random one to be done so that more conclusive findings can be reported, but it still shows that there may be a correlation between fish oil and reduced breast cancer occurence.
And hey, if you ask me, who cares, there have already been multiple studies proving the benefits of taking omega 3 fat supplements. I take them every day, but I never took them for the breast cancer prevention aspect, more as an overall preventive health supplement. I also feel that my brain functions better when I’m getting a lot of fish oil in my diet, maybe that’s just in my head, but hey, that’s how I feel!
And we do know that fish is healthy for you, so preferably most health professionals recommend getting your omega 3′s through diet like fish, walnuts, almonds, avocados and other food sources as they are the best and most complete nature has to offer. But of course we don’t all have the time or inclination to make sure we’re getting tons of these foods in our diet on a daily basis, so it doesn’t hurt to add a supplementation of omega 3′s, whether plant or animal based, to your diet.
Why am I writing about this? While it doesn’t have anything to do with breasts themselves per se, it got me thinking about the struggles that men who want to feminize themselves and become women, legally and biologically, go through. Many transgendered men who want to grow female breasts and feminize themselves through surgery face financial bills that would make anyone cringe, because this is not something that is usually covered by insurance. Should it be or not?
This seems like a big identity crisis, and that can definitely impeded one’s quest for a fulfilled, healthy and happy life, but does it qualify as an actual medical necessity? Some people think yes, some think no. But men have some viable options at least for male breast enhancement these days that isn’t too cost prohibitive.
It’s a lot better than trying to get breast implants, which are typically hard to do on men because they just genetically do not have a lot of breast tissue to work with and are structured differently in the whole chest area, which can make breast augmentation a little trickier on biological males.
Chastity Bono, now Chaz, has the luxury of probably having the money to get her sex change operation and petition the court to be changed in gender and name to a man’s identity, which is what she has felt like her whole life, and that is her right, but what about those that aren’t as lucky in the financial department?

Famous Boob Slips
It seems like at least once a year, if not more, we hear chronicled the latest “nip slip” or boob slip of the famous, or not so famous, but on some reality show. It’s really easy to be a victim of nipple slippage though. It’s happened to me a couple of times in the water on the beach when I’m in my typical triangle top bikini.
I remember several times being hit by a really big wave while I’m trying to get out of the water, and not only almost getting knocked over, but also having to contend with holding my boobs so that they don’t fall out of my top or God forbid, I don’t totally lose my top in the waves, and give everyone a free show and conversation fodder for the next few weeks.
You’ve probably been there too, especially if you frequent beaches, which seem to be one of the most frequent places for women losing their tops. I know that Kirsten Dunst had a mistake where one side of hers fell off, and someone snapped a picture of this happening. I’ve also seen a few other pictures of young starlets having this issue on the beach as well.
There is perhaps one of the most notorious nipple slips that happened during the Super Bowl performance a few years back that prompted all sorts of stupid FCC complaints. You know, the one with Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake where one side of her shirt “falls off” and exposes a breast that is bare except for a conveniently placed pasty over the nipple. Yeah, just because it was a “nearly exposed” breast, people freaked out over it. Ridiculous.
Then there is also one of the most famous nip slips with Tara Reid, the seemingly constantly embattled star from American Pie and other less memorable movies. She was getting snapped by photogs and also on film and her dress just popped right off on one side, completely exposing one of her breasts, which looked like it had just recently been operated on in her infamous breast implant surgery.
The poor girl also got lots of negative attention for having botched liposuction on her tummy. I feel bad for her, she seems like a nice girl and people just love to pick on her!
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 health concerns). These two different types of outer shells for saline implants are smooth and textured. It is exactly what it sounds like.
One has a smooth surface, while the other one has a rougher, textured surface, sort of like you might see on other plastic surfaces, like for instance I have a plastic cutting board that has a smooth side and then also has a textured side for better traction.
While better traction might be a reality outside the body with textured plastic, it actually is supposed to cause a slightly higher risk of deflation or rupturing of the implant when a textured shell is used rather than a smooth shell, which I thought was interesting since I thought the opposite would be true. Then again, sometimes the seemingly most intuitive isn’t always the answer!
Here’s the reason that textured implants may be superior in another way to smooth though. It’s the whole traction thing I talked about. While rough surfaces on implant shells may increase the rupturing risk, they actually DECREASE the risk of implant migration. That’s right, these rougher surfaces help to keep the implant in the right place both during and after the operation so the implant won’t turn, flip or slip down or up in the cavity where it is supposed to be.
You may have heard some horror stories about implant migration, and it probably isn’t a fun thing since it can make the breasts look lopsided or asymetrical if it is severe enough, and can result in the implant needing to be replaced or repositioned, which means another surgery. However, the risk is higher with deflation with these as well, so it’s wise to talk to your doctor about the different implant alternatives as well before you make your choice about what to go with.
Textured surfaced implants also increase the risk of rippling or wrinkling of the implant as well, and they can be more difficult to replace than the smooth type, so this is another consideration to add to the pile when you are making this critical decision.
So, I’ve just now started to take an interest in Lady Gaga. I know, I know, I’m a little late to this woman who has seemingly taken pop music and pop culture by storm, but I was reluctant to accept her since I wasn’t a huge fan of her breakout hit “just dance”, so I kind of dismissed her as another fly by night starlet. Well, then I started watching some of her very edgy, daring videos, and I must say, she reminds me a LOT of an earlier Madonna, when she was going balls out with her bondage and sexual stuff and was at the height of her popularity.
Especially her newest video, Alejandro, where she dons a bra that has was looks like machine guns sprouting out of it. She likes to strut her stuff in bikinis, with her all natural boobs bouncing with her, looking like they’re going to fall out of their safe place (I bet they have several times actually). She also really, really likes attention. And she’s young – so young, I had no idea! I think she’s twenty three. To have all that talent and guts at such a young age, and all this crazy success is definitely admirable.
I do like that she’s not just sexy for the sake of sexy, but she’s more artsy than anything else. You wouldn’t exactly call a lot of her getups sexy or hot, but they are definitely edgy and they get attention, and that takes a certain amount of moxie to pull off the right way. She reminds me so much of Madonna, it’s crazy, and if I’m correct, Madonna was one of her inspirations.
Madonna used to strut her stuff in cone bras and bondage, and Gaga seems to get off on the same stuff, pretty much touching others and herself very provocatively on stage and in videos, pushing the envelope of sexuality and tempting fate to get censored. And it’s totally worked for her. Her natural tatas and tight, toned and fat free body, plus her love of putting her breasts in studded bras and cone shaped apparatuses is like 90′s Madonna all over again.
And we’re all eating it up again to! I can see why she’s so popular now. Hopefully she keeps coming out with good music, but more importantly, hopefully we keep seeing more of that avant garde costume wear!

Crazy Breast and Bra Stories
Well, it seems that breasts are in the news, one way or another, almost every week. So, I figured I’d share with you the latest crazy stories about boobs for the past few weeks that I heard. I’m sure you’ll feel the same way when you hear them! The first one is out of Florida. A female attorney in Florida apparently wanted to visit her client in jail to provide the client with counsel. As you may know, jails put everyone who visits prisoners through a metal detector as a precaution that you are not carrying any concealed weapons on the premise.
Well, as you also may know if you’ve ever worn an underwire bra, they are usually made with metal, although you are increasingly seeing these underwire garments being made with plastic nowadays. When the woman went through the metal detector, the alarm went off, so she went and changed out of her bra. Now, this is where the story gets downright ludicrous, and why it was reported as a shameful story for this particular jail.
She tries to get through security again, sans bra. Now the security guards won’t let her through because she is violating one of their policies of not wearing a bra. You see, jails apparently often have dress codes that women not dress provocatively so as not to rouse the mostly male inmates. The code apparently had a loophole that didn’t prohibit underwire bras, but it didn’t matter, because the guards wouldn’t let her through without one either. Sheesh, and men wonder why we hate bras. Just another reason to hate them – and the men that made the stupid jail rules too.
The second story is about a women with ginormous breast implants who got on a plane and had them damaged, and is now suing the airline for breast implant damage. What? Come again? Ok, here’s what happened with this kooky story. The woman, who is a model from Russia and happens to have the largest implants there as well, sued an airline over damage to her implants that she claims was caused by turbulence in the aircraft. Man, that must have been some kind of turbulence to actually damage an implant.
She is asking for almost $100k from the airline to cover damages to her huge breasts, which she claims she hit and felt pain immediately after the turbulence, causing them damage and pain.

Warning Signs of Breast Cancer
Besides the efforts made to achieve the early detection and effective treatment of the breast cancer, about 20 % of patients with breast cancer die from the disease. The breast cancer is the second most often cause of death at women.
We are all witnessing a very large number of sick women, but what is more worrisome is the younger population. Awareness among women about breast cancer fails to widespread sufficiently. But it is our fault because we always wait for “the last train” to go to control- a stage from which you may not come back. These shifts of the age are alarming signs that leads to bigger interest for this subject.
Statistics show that from 8 or 9 women one will surely develop this condition. Any breast disease at women is a double-health problem and besides that can lead to mental and spiritual liability. But not only that……Great efforts are made to achieve early detection however, the number of patients increases. In particular, this excessive desire to prevent this situation increases the self- awareness and culture to all women, to act preventively.
These are sufficient reasons to induce interest and detailed understanding of the topic in every woman. There are amazing and countless of different treatments, methods to treat breast cancer across the world. For example, the Chinese medicine, which is closely documented and based on thousands of years of research and clinical experience. Countless lives in different parts of the world have been rescued and cured by these treatments against cancer.
The only thing for women today is the consideration of the problem with conventional methods based on the harmful treatments such as chemotherapy, radiation or surgery.
Symptoms
To detect any change in the breast is primarily necessary to know what is normal for your breasts in terms of appearance and consistency. In this case, we have the existence of abnormality and change in appearance, structure, consistency etc.
In the early stages breast cancer usually has no symptoms or very minor characters. However, the grow of the tumor can be noticed very easy. Women must take care of their breasts and check them when bathing, dressing. Other symptoms are also, the nipple pain, bloody nipple discharge. It is in a human nature that people will never check its health condition until something bad happens.
I reported on this newer procedure several months back already, but I’m following up because I’ve seen some follow up articles on the unique procedure and wanted to update you on it. The NaturaBra procedure is really not a breast lift in the traditional sense.
You are not getting a foreign object ie breast implant, inserted into your breast just under it to make it appear more pert and perky like when you are younger, instead this NaturaBra procedure uses your own body’s tissues to sew into the bottom of your chest a sort of underwire bra, only an all natural one made of your own tissue, so that your breasts get a nice, natural subtle lift without grueling surgery.
Don’t expect any size increases in your breasts though, because this is really just a lifting procedure, purely. It may be a good option for women who really just want to lift their breasts more, but do not want to actually add cup size to their breasts. It basically acts as a natural bra, and many women who have had it report that they really don’t need the support that a bra offers after they’ve had this procedure done.
It may also be ideal for women who have experienced a lot of sagging as they have aged, and who are happy with their breast size, but want to just get the lift they had when they were a little younger. However, be cautioned that this isn’t a magical formula against breast sagging and aging, since the tissue inserted is your own, and the tissue will age naturally with the rest of your body, so it will begin to show the signs of aging as well.
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 usage back in 2006, after much debate and uproar from women and groups who claimed to have had health problems that were associated with their silicone breast implants leaking into their bodies and causing autoimmune types of responses.
Now, the FDA has said that the newer, more robust and safe silicone implant which is supposedly more reinforced against breakage and leakage, is ok for general use. It has been re-introduced to women as an option when they are considering getting breast implants, whether for the first time or for the second time as a replacement, since breast implants need to be redone every ten years roughly.
Many women, dissatisfied with what they describe as an unnatural feel with saline implants, may switch theirs out for silicone when they get them replaced. Apparently the difference is that saline implants actually may show rippling more than the gel silicone implants. Many, if not most, times, you can see some sort of rippling on the sides or underneath the breasts with saline implants.
Also, silicone are supposed to feel more natural, although the actual appearance of the implants is the same as with saline. Some surgeons may recommend that women with very little existing breast tissue get silicone implants, since the more existing breast tissue there is, the more natural the end result will look and feel. Silicone may run a bit more expensive as well. They generally may range a few thousand dollars more than saline, say 6k to 8k instead of about 4k to 5k, depending on where you go to get your implants done.
If none of this sounds good to you, or you already have implants and just want more natural breast tissue to make them feel more natural, you may want to look into the Bountiful Breast product, which is a natural breast growth encouraging system that helps your breasts to naturally grow larger and more full on their own over time.
Heidi Montag has certainly made a lot of headlines in her short twenty something life, but most of them haven’t really been of the admirable or respectable variety, very notably for her larger than her head breast implants. I’ve seen this young lady speak before, and she doesn’t seem mean or bitchy like the media portrays her to be, most people who know here attribute this media given image to her husband (or maybe her ex husband now) Spencer Pratt, the other half of the ill perceived couple.
Heidi has made headlines mostly for being, well, frankly kind of an asshole from the Hills show. She has insisted that this is mostly because of the way the show is edited, but who knows what the real truth is. She also made infamous headlines and a couple of magazine covers (to which I’m sure her and her media hungry husband delighted) on the gossip rags, because of her obsession with plastic surgery. She notoriously got a ridiculous amount of plastic surgery in one day, or a very short period of time, and emerged looking like largely a different person.
Apparently, now that Ms. Montag has changed a lot of her appearance, maybe for the better, some for the worse (the gigantic boobs really must go), it seems that she may be making another shakeup in her life and venturing out on a limb on her own sans Spencer Pratt. The rumor at least is that their marriage may be over. Seems like these two were inseparable, but after all, it’s Hollywood baby, and marriages are sometimes like changing socks, and these two are really very young to be married and make it work forever, especially in the land of fake and phony.
Ms. Montag also notably (yes, sad to say that this actually made the news on several large news websites, what is this world coming to, but then again, look at me, I’m reporting on it in a breast news blog!), was upset and wanted to get larger breast implants after Ryan Seacrest had her on his show and proclaimed in good nature “oh they’re not that big”. Wow, I really hope this girl can buy some cure for insecurity too, because if not, she’s in for a looooong bumpy ride in life.

The Sarah Palin Boob Job Rumor
Well, I guess that all it takes for any celebrity to be “accused” of getting a breast augmentation procedure done these days is to wear a breast-fitting shirt with all the right camera angles. It seems that almost every actress has either been suspected of being pregnant of of having her breasts surgically enhanced when she happens to either be on her period or gain a little cleavage because her hormones have changed.
In Sarah Palin’s case, it looks like she’s just never wearing clothes that really show how large busted she is. For having a pretty small waist and small stature, the former vice presidential candidate sure does have a big chest! But you must consider that she has also had several children now, which can certainly increase breast size, although it can definitely leave them deflated afterwards, needing a breast lift.
She also has never been flat chested. You can sort of tell in her typical suit pants outfits and her skirts and blazers that are her signature wardrobe that she’s always been fairly ample chested, but she wore a scoop necked white tshirt and cargo pants to a recent horse race and was photographed with the speculation that she’d had a breast augmentation procedure because of her more curvy appearance.
A spokesperson in the Palin camp has said that she absolutely has not had breast implants and that the insinuation is pretty ridiculous. Palin looks dynamite for her 46 years, that’s for sure, and after giving birth to what, 4 or 5 kids now, she and her husband both look as young as spring chickens!
We could all probably take a lesson from the way they live their lives. They seem to be fit, active, and happy with eachother, and I think that’s all that we can hope to be, no matter what you feel about her political positions or her run for vice president.
In other celebrity boob job news, you probably already heard this like 50 times already, but there are rumors swirling that the previously flat chested Kate Hudson, adorable as she was without the breasts, had breast implants as well after she was photographed with suspiciously larger breasts, unless, ehem, maybe she’s pregnant. This one looks like it may be true though….
A great bra is crucial for the strength of your breasts but also you want it to look good on your body and be attractive and even sexy, I dare say. Breasts are one of the most adored parts of the female anatomy, and they should be treated as such. Always either too big or too small, even when man with whom they share the most intimate moments enjoy them, women are not satisfied. Plastic surgery is one solution, but the thought of the knife scares many women to place themselves in the doctor’s hands, who claim that everything is going to be perfectly okay after the intervention.
One thing reposible, as you all know, for the good looking of the breasts is the bra. About 80 % of women wear the wrong bra size. The most common error is the too short line under every bra. If the back of the bra stands too high and the baskets are falling forward you are wearing a bra with a too wide line. All breasts have different shape and size, so when you choose a bra you should consider those things.
Distinguish the baskets! The baskets “balcony” is related to the bra that fully cover the chest, while the borders “plunge” are intended to develop and raise the chest. The latter are designed for wearing shirts with plunging neckline. If you have big breasts you will choose the first shape because it will raise the chest down. For smaller breasts I will recommend the second shape.
How do you wear the bra? When wearing white or transparent shirts you should wear bra in color of the skin, while for the sticky dresses is recommended bra with no visible edges. If you are preparing for a special occasion choose a bra with line label.
These are some advices for the women who want to feel free and in the same time to have nice breasts. Now you know that the secret of every woman is her bra. It is recommended not wearing a bra all the time because the breasts need space and air to breath.
Finally, those advices may not seem very convincing but, by time you will see that I’m right and that every expensive and good bra is a preventive from gaining breast cancer. You may not believe but the bra can also be something that can damage women health and safety. So, will you reconsider??
Recent news on breast cancer in older patients is pointing to the conclusion that older patients with breast cancer may not need to under go radiation in combination with taking Tamoxifen pills as well. Tamoxifen is an estrogen hormone suppressant, and since estrogens are a fuel for most breast cancers, Tamoxifen is a drug that most breast cancer survivors are put on for a while after they go into remission, to prevent the cancer from coming back.
It was found that more patients died within several years after they were treated for breast cancer who had gotten both the radiation and the Tamoxifen treatment, while less patients died and had recurrence of the cancer who had just done the drug alone without the radiation. The conclusion they made was that a lumpectomy, where the localized breast cancer area is taken out physically, combined with the oral drug may actually be better than, or at least a good starting point, radiation combined with it.
This is great news for older breast cancer patients, who will be spared the extra cost of radiation along with the drug. This means less insurance costs, which is also a good thing for the health care system which is already over burdened with unnecessary costs, preventing people who really need other treatments to get them, and to get them on time.
Tamoxifen has been hailed as one of the greatest discoveries for breast cancer treatment and prevention because it does inhibit the excess estrogens in the body that are blamed for perpetuating breast cancer cells and growths. One hopes that these studies are not flawed though, as women and their doctors may base their treatment choices on such studies and subsequent recommendations and conclusions.
We can only hope that the medical establishment has pure motives in mind when recommending this, and it’s not merely a cost savings ploy, however, I believe this may be pure, because right now there is so much money to be made, especially with the new government interventions into the health sector.
Whatever your opinion may be, you must ask the opinion of your doctor and trust them, if you don’t trust they have your best interests in mind, it may be wise to seek a second opinion, but that’s just my opinion, and of course it depends on your personal situation, insurance coverage, etc. etc.
So I got a solicitation email which I normally find annoying. However, this one, I actually opened and took a look at the related website because it was an interesting topic to me of course. Shoot, any product that promises breast lift, shape and support with actually wearing a bra, which you know I hate wearing if you’ve read my past postings on the topic, is of interest to me.
Bare Lifts are a peel and stick product that you place over your breast, then lift it up to give you the desired lift and cleavage if you are wearing a cleavage baring shirt of dress, and it securely stays on the breast, lifting it like a bra does all day. The only difference of course, is that it does not have straps or clasps, and may not be as uncomfortable as a bra. Notice I say “may not be as uncomfortable” though.
I thought about it, and although I have never tried them and would like to try them, I wonder how uncomfortable wearing a giant sticker would be on your breasts all day long. I thought about this too. What if you sweated a lot, would the sticker come undone and would you have to replace it?
It’s a cool concept though, because it really replaces that old idea of double sided tape to get your breasts to stay put where they’re supposed to when you’re wearing revealing or breast enhancing clothing. The before and after pictures of women with them off then on are pretty impressive. You can give yourself the exact desired lift that you want by pulling them up higher on your chest, which is cool because you can sort of adjust your cleavage and the amount of lift and perkiness that you want.
The website makes them look like they are a made for tv product, but I don’t think they are. The commercial on the website is pretty convincing that this is a great product, and I’m almost sold into buying a set of ten for ten bucks (not a bad price, but really all they are is a piece of sticky plastic too, and they are disposable).
The only reservation I have is how comfortable would they really be, and would the adhesive last all day or not? I’ll probably be ordering these, because we are going on a trip soon where I plan on wearing lots of barely there tank tops and strapless shirts, so we’ll put them to the test. I’ll let you know IF I end up buying them. Trying to be frugal with money now, so I’ll see if it’s worth it or not.
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 knife every day to get implants put in to their bodies for larger breasts now? It’s roughly 1,000 women every day! That’s a lot of boobies being inserted into chests every day!
Even though there are some natural breast implant alternatives on the market today that can do a good job of enlarging the breasts substantially without surgery, women still want the instant gratification of breast implants, and are willing to pay the price for them, which is still hovering around $5,000 to my knowledge, a price that it has stayed fairly consistent at for several years now.
Breast augmentation is so popular because the media shows images of large breasted women constantly. If I had a nickel for every model baring her ample cleavage who still some how has no waist at all, I’d be rich. So, not only are we as women subject to the stereotype of having large breasts, but we are also held to the impossible standard of having large breasts with small waists.
I don’t know about you, but common sense and experience has shown me that large breasts rarely go with small waists, because women with large breasts tend to usually have more body fat, and they don’t have tiny waists, so the only way for lots of women to achieve this impossible standard is to stay thin, and then get breast augmentation. Talk about an unfair beauty standard, this is the definition of one!
Breast augmentation is actually a fairly safe surgery with little complications. The most complications come in when someone might be allergic to or react badly to the anesthesia, or if they have complications with the implants themselves being rejected by the body, or becoming infected at the site of the operation.
Other complications that are still a threat, and which have been a reason for some women seeking breast implant alternatives, are implant migration, rupturing, and something called capsular contracture, a painful condition when scar tissue envelopes the implant, making it harden and become painful to the touch. This is often the reason that women have to get them removed, since sometimes it is so severe that it cannot be corrected.
Women’s bodies, like men’s, are complicated. We have so many things that can go wrong with our reproductive organs, but we also have other body parts and concerns to look after as well. For men, it’s the prostate that is a major concern, especially as he ages.
For women though, her breasts and her breast health become more and more of a focal point for screening and confirming that the tissue is healthy, well on into her eighties and nineties, since the older we get, the more likely breast cancer sneaks up on us.
Very often we can face the problem with our breasts such as breast cancer which is not the one to get rid of very easy. For that purpose scientists have instructions how the women can easily recognize that huge problem and make it part of our everyday.
Namely, they have prepared a guideline on how to treat the problems with our breasts and how, as soon as possible, take preventive measures. That guideline for the early detection of breast cancer improves the chance to be diagnosed at an early stage and gives the possibility to be treated successfully.
The breast cancer usually affects women at the age of 40 to 50 but is does not have to mean that it can not appear earlier. So, it is very important for one woman to have continuous screening mammogram every year; that way the disease can be detected on time.
I assure you that tests for breast cancer prevention done earlier can save many thousands of lives each year and you can not even imagine how many lives can be saved if more women and their health care providers took advantage of this tests.
What all women should know is that they can check their breasts on their own. One way is to touch your breast when showering and getting dressed when you can feel if something went wrong. That self examination is one way for us to know if the look of our breasts is normal and a good way to discover and feel any changes. But we can never know if we do it in the right way so it is better to visit a doctor specialist in that area.
However, by doing this exam regularly, you get to know how your breasts normally look and feel and you can more readily detect any signs or symptoms if a change occurs, such as swelling, skin irritation, nipple pain or retraction, redness of the nipple or breast skin. We must remember that most of the time, however, these breast changes are not cancer.
Ok, so I am on a month and a half of the Bountiful Breast natural breast enhancement product, and I’m seeing some great results. My bras are very tight on me now, almost to the point of being uncomfortable on some days, when my cup seems to runneth over a little more than other days, which is odd, and my husband has noticed a big change in how low they hang and their fullness.
I did break out a little bit when I first started the pill, but this side effect (which I don’t know if everyone gets or not, or if it’s just my crazy, naturally sensitive skin), has totally subsided. The hardest part is making sure I take the product on an empty stomach, because I swear it seems like I’m always eating.
What I do is take one upon waking in the morning, so that I can eat my breakfast about one hour after I take the pill, when I’m at my job. Then I take my second pill right before bed, when my stomach has been empty for about three hours since I try to eat dinner by 7:00 and then I got to bed between 10:30 and 11:00 pm.
When I first started the pill, another side effect I noticed was about a week in, I thought I had gained a little bit of water weight, much like it would be if I were about to go on my period I guess. That side effect subsided after about 4 weeks on the pills, which I’m very grateful for. I think that your body needs to adjust to these because they are, after all, enlarging your breasts, so of course there are bound to be some adjustments that your body makes at first.
I am taking the recommendation of adding an L-Tyrosine supplement to my diet every day too. I take one capsule a day of that as well, I guess that the idea is that this helps regulate your body temperature so that the product works better, as it is designed to work at optimal levels when your body temperature reaches a certain point.
So far, so good.
I plan to finish out my three month supply of Bountiful Breast, and I’ll give you a review of where that gets me. I’m already a C cup, so I’m not looking for much in the way of cup size increase, I just wanted a little bit more growth, but if I need to, I’ll buy another 3 months supply. More to come!
If you guys have been reading my blog over the past few weeks, then you know I am trying out the Bountiful Breast natural breast enlargement pill and thus far have had great results with it. I was just made aware that they are having a HUGE unprecedented summer sale, where they are selling their 9 month package, which is of course the most effective because of the length of time you are on the product (this is definitely one that works better with lots of time, it gives better results). What’s the price? Only $399 for a nine month supply. That is 2/3 off the regular price.
I have never seen this price on this product the whole time I have been affiliated with them, so this is a great opportunity to try this product for yourself. That boils down to only about $45 (a little less than that actually) per month. That is a great deal. To see more information and befores and afters of clients if you want to see for yourself, go see the Bountiful Breast site for this huge sale deal.
We’ve added a new page where we discuss creams that can be used to help you get bigger breasts. We talk about what forms of creams may be most effective for not only lifting and firming the breasts, but also for enlarging them if that is your goal. We also talk about some of the ingredients that may be most beneficial in this arena when it comes to using topical products for improving the appearance of your breasts, such as pueraria mirifica. See our new page : Bigger Breast Creams.
A recent story in the news told the woes of a Peruvian woman who has a condition called gigantomastia. You may recall in discussions prior to this, that a condition called gynecomastia, where men grow breasts similar to how women do. This is a form of breast growth that goes out of control similar to that, only it occurs in a woman, and the growth is so out of control that it becomes painful for women to walk around and even move.
And some of us pine for larger breasts, I bet these women would love nothing more than to have them downsized, big time. Just goes to show that there is such a thing as too much of a “good thing”.
The condition of gigantomastia often occurs during puberty in women, but also occurs during pregnancy due to hormonal fluctuation. For this particular woman, who grew to an unseemly N cup during her last pregnancy, and has been bed bound since then due to the immense pain she’s in when she tries to get up, it was the pregnancy that prompted the out of control growth.
Other than surgery, I didn’t see that there was much else they can do for women with this problem. The pictures of this poor woman look extremely painful and uncomfortable. I can’t imagine that’s any way to live. So ladies, just when you want to complain about your boobs, take a second look and realize you are lucky compared to people who have problems like this

Estrogen Spray Causes Premature Breasts, Puberty
An alarming discovery was made that middle aged women who were using an estrogen replacement hormone spray were actually inadvertently affecting the people – and even the pets – they touched with areas of their body that were sprayed with the hormones. Estrogen creams and sprays have been used by women in their middle age to replace the precious estrogens that have been lost with age.
Women’s production of estrogen typically declines over time, and this decline leads to what can be deemed as unpleasant side effects like hot flashes, growth of unwanted body hair, sleeplessness, moodiness and more.
Because of this, and because HRT (Hormone Replacement Therapy) fell out of favor after being linked to serious health problems such as increased risk of heart attack and stroke, women are even more on the lookout for natural and safer alternatives to HRT.
The estrogen spray in question was actually linked to premature puberty in girls, showing larger nipples and enlarged breasts at an earlier age than they should have, and even affected female dogs this way as well. They displayed side effects like enlarged nipples and also enlarged vulvas simply form having contact with the hormone spray.
Boys also were affected, showing male breast growth as a side effect, which can obviously be devastating for boys who aren’t typically all that comfortable with their bodies to begin with. The recommendation is obviously for women who use these creams or sprays that replace lost estrogen to avoid contact with any person or pet with areas of the body that they’ve applied this product.
It’s probably best to try to apply it somewhere that is always covered by clothes, that way you minimize the risk of transferring it to someone, or a furry someone, else.
