I got my breast done within the last year at Museum District Plastic Surgery in Houston. I went from a small B to a full C and I couldn't be happier. After 6 months they look and feel completely natural. I would recommend the Museum District Plastic Surgery for anybody thinking about getting their breast augmentation.

Great article! Thank you for putting it together. Potential patients will be better served going with a service like The Patients Advantage (www.ThePatientsAdvantage.com). It’s a great way to find the best surgeons and it does not cost anything. I found them when searching for breast augmentation surgeons. Check them out.

I agree with cb. Unless done for reconstruction/repair/balance, the idea of having fake enlarged breasts is bizarre to me. When I see photos of women with a crease line above their breasts instead of below, I know something is wrong with the world. Women have only themselves to blame for buying into the “societal” pressure. cb, it’s heartening to know there are people like you out there.

Actually, I had a good laugh with CB’s post. My back hurts enough as it is, I don’t need implants to make it worse.

Thanks CB… When I see posts like that, I instantly think “a**hole”.

I have to agree with a quote by David Spade:

“I like real looking fake ones, or fake looking real ones.”

Having undergone reduction surgery myself, I cannot understand people who *want* to be bigger (as in HUGE)! Why invite back pain, permanently furrowed shoulders from straps, and the fact that nothing is going to fit properly? It was misery… And let’s not forget the rude stares. When I was referred to the cosmetic surgeon, I had to see his nurse first. The first question she asked me: Are you here to have your implants removed? She was incredulous that I a) had none, and b) just wanted to look normal. Even tried to talk me out of the size I wanted to be, saying ‘you won’t be YOU anymore!’ Baloney! I have been much happier afterward, thanks. Able to stand up straight for the first time since I was a teenager.

“During World War II, Japanese prostitutes reportedly injected themselves with silicone to better attract the patronage of American GIs”

Shouldn’t that be AFTER World War II?

CB, it’s nice of you to be sensitive to women who have had to make a hard choice because of mastectomy. But when you meet people with implants, do you ask them whether or not they had cancer before you judge them? Classy.

On that note, it would have been nice if the article mentioned the quality of life improvements that plastic surgery can make, as well as the ridiculous societal pressures that do trigger most surgeries.

Mental illness? What about women who have had children and would like to repair the damage? There is a big difference between someone who inflates their chest to a ridiculous level, and someone who has implants.

As the joke goes…if you can touch ‘em, they’re real!
