OK I am probably going to get shot at here, forgive me if I ramble, but let me explain to you my point of view on this subject. Having been under the knife myself for breast surgery, I think I am more then qualified to give my opinion. I find it sad that many young women feel the need to have implants simply because big breasts are what is "in", a model such as the one that is under discussion in this thread disturbs me as it is telling our young women that implanting SILICONE bags filled with saline into your body is OK. Please take a few moments, click on the link and read. There are links to photographs of what happens when there are complications, and I can guarantee they aren't pretty. There is only one person here that knows only a part of my story that I have disclosed to them, and now maybe you all know a bit more. Yes I had breast surgery and no I don't have any SILICONE saline filled bags implanted in me, what I have left is all natural. But I do have a sister that thinks that she would love to have them implanted in her, and given the family history, it probably is not the wisest of choices she could make, but for some reason, she seems to think if everyone else is doing it, why can't she? Sorry if I have come across as being callouse, but I don't want any model that is filled with silicone being looked up to by young and uninformed minds. I am sorry if I have offended anyone. OK I have said my peace.
