well if I had scars on my ******* and ugly reconstructed nipples, I'd kill myself too.

women who get breast implants who aren't doing it because they're famous or porn stars usually have low self esteem. So getting breast implants doesnt make you more likely to commit suicide, but people who commit suicide are more likely to get breast implants. Saying it the other way around is like saying "people who play violent video games are more likely to kill people" instead of "people who are more likely to kill people sometimes play violent video games"

Yeah, that's exactly what I was gonna say.

I have naturally big boobs. But you know what, I'd do anything to have small boobs. Reason being, it's all anyone ever sees.
My best friend got herself a new boyfriend, and told me she didn't want him to meet me because all he would see would be blonde hair and big boobs and want me and not her. It made me feel really bad about myself.
So they're not as great as they're made out to be.

Stop complaing, you're blonde with big breasts, that means you can accomplish anything without ever having any actual talent or skill at all.

 

[britrogue]

Yeah, now. But I value myself higher than that. I have a brain and every intention of using it. Besides, if I live my life just being blonde with big breasts, what happens to me when I get old?

 

[Joker]

You marry a rich guy a a trophy wife, and then take all his money when he croaks. Apparently I'm the only one who learned anything form Anna Nicole Smith here

 

[britrogue]

Yeah, and how many people have a high opinion of her? I'm better than that thank you very much.

If I had as much cash as she does now, I wouldn't give a damn what anyone thought, cause you could not have them killed and get away with it with that much money

This was what I was trying to say with my cosmetic surgery thread awhile ago.

Women that get breast implants when there is nothing wrong with their breasts have low self esteem. They need counselling, NOT surgery.

It was crazy how like, 90% of the board were against me. But I was right. Plastic surgery is not the answer to complicated mental issues of low self confidence.

Wanting to have massive breasts is kind of similar to anorexia.

Why is one thing widely acceptable and the other seen as a mental disease?

I think that you are right. It DOES come down to low self esteem, and I know from experience that being there doesn't bring you that sort of confidence. Confidence is something that needs to be worked on, and it stems totally from being able to accept yourself for who you are. Everyone is special in their own way.

Because, massive breasts=pwnage, skinny mummy looking women=gross

Exactly. People need to learn to be happy with who they are and their bodies.

Learning to be happy with your body is much more valuable than simply going under the knife to change the things that you see as not perfect.

Another thing that concerns me is the large number of young women that get plastic surgery. Their bodies haven't even finished growing yet. Plastic surgery for people as young as 18 can lead to problems later on. Heck, breast implants can lead to problems for ANYONE.

 

[Joker]

speaking of breast implants, anyone else remember that David Schwimmer movie, Breast Men? that was a good movie

 

[britrogue]

Wow, it's easy to see who the adults are in this place.
Plastic Surgery should not be allowed for anyone under the age of 30.

You almost sound like my sister. She'd sound exactly like you if she wasn't about 200lbs (and 5'3"). It's funny women with the big boobs never want them and the women without them do.

And sometimes it's easier to change what you don't like to build that self esteem. Not all the time, the "everyone is special in their own way" cliche is double edged.

Not necasserily. Alot of the time, it's not enough. Google and have a look at the Big Brother contestant Leah. Massive ****, right? Stupid masive fake looking things. She wants to get another increase!!

Self esteem comes from the inside.

 

[lars573]

I've heard of her. Those aren't massive fake ones. Hers are huge by normal standards, but not massive. I've seen massive. Anyway there's no guarentee that she has low self-esteem. There is something you've not even considered. She has a breast fetish, or rather a fetish for making hers bigger. Some people do have a fetish for body modification, even focused on one part. And like most fetishest they'll push it beyond normal.

Also it could simply be greed. You get your boobs done. Now men give you the attention you though you couldn't get. Now it could be that having the tats that you always though you lacked has amde you carry yourself differently. More confidence, more self esteem, more positive feelings about you. So you want more. How? More boobs. Having bigger ones got you this far. Even bigger will get you farther. Simple logic, and a slippery slope. Not I'm complaining I'm a breast man.

You...mean, it isn't a natural side effect of saline solution leaking in to the blood stream via sub-dermal f***-balloons?...........to have suicidal thoughts?

Bingo! If they had suicidal tendencies, it had nothing to do with their implants.

As far as body modification goes, if it makes them feel better about themselves, then good for them. It's their body and they can do whatever they want with it. Do some people take it to extremes or outside the boundaries of practicality or even good taste? Sure they do, but that's their choice. Not everyone who gets some sort of augmentation done is quite so obvious, though. Maybe it's the woman who wanted a little bit extra cleavage or even a little bit less. Or the man who wanted the big bump on his nose smoothed out. If that makes them feel more comfortable with themselves so they can lead happier, more adjusted lives then more power to them. Some people do have surgery fetishes or unhealthy fixations on augmenting one part of their body repeatedly and there are other possible mental health issues that might need to be addressed there, but even in those cases....it's still their body.
