I totally agree. Like Shimmer, I have a size A-B cup but I would never have a breast implant for that reason alone. I would only consider it if I had a mastectomy or something similar to that nature, to restore a natural body shape if I had to have one removed or whatever. I also agree that even if having bigger boobs means you may be able to fill out some tops better, I don't really think that's a convincing reason to undergo (potentially life threatening) surgery. There will still be clothes that don't fit, having bigger breats is not some miracle potion to end all our "I can't find fitting clothes" woes.
Plus, people always say, oh it costs $6000 or whatever, but the truth is, most patients need to go back and have a second or even third set put in during their lifetime, or have to undergo further surgery due to complications, so the total cost is much, much higher on average.

Yeah, if you join a website like that, you are opening yourself up to criticism and people voicing an opinion on that. If they do not want people to speculate on their motives, they should just do the surgery on their own in private and not enter the public arena, the Internet is a public place where different voices can be expressed.

These girls, imo, are only degrading themselves. In fact, they are degrading women in general, because it shows that women can be treated like pieces of meat for some quick cash. How many sites exist where men do the same thing for penis extensions? Probably none.
I totally see this from a different angle, I think discussion like this is necessary.

And you'll still be down an average of 6k, assuming you're happy with your results and don't require revision surgeries. Second, I don't believe anyone, of any size or shape, can walk into a clothing store and find 5 random tops that automatically fit them perfectly without some kind of compromise. That's just the nature of ready-made clothing. Changing your body shape through cosmetic surgery (or even diet/exercise) won't change the fact that you'll still have to go through a bunch of clothes in a shop before you settle on ones you think you good on you. Bottom line, when it comes to the aesthetic opinion on the shape of women's bodies, I don't believe cosmetic surgery offers any real long term solutions. I honestly believe that's a myth offered by those who really stand to reap long-term benefits from the cosmetic industry - the doctors/surgeons. At best, it offers a short-term solution that may allow one to feel more confident, or more in control of their body image... at least until you start to feel that more work is necessary. |

When people put themselves on an internet site, asking for money in order to get their tit job, that constitutes entering the public arena of opinion. I think these women are pathetically stupid. |

We can't argue against men worldwide controlling the sexuality of women when we insult each other over it. |
