Most women with small breasts have envied women with huge breasts, wishing they could be as lucky. Some even consider breast implants, but is that the way to go? Here are 10 reasons why you should not buy breast implants.

1. Getting breast implants is painful. I don’t think people consider how much it will hurt to have your skin stretched that much. Then there’s the fact that you must massage your breasts everyday to break up the tissue in your breasts. This tissue is trying to protect the body from these foreign objects. If you don’t break up this tissue, your doctor will have to and it will be much, much more painful. Regardless, it’s painful either way.

2. Sometimes breast implants aren’t what you were expecting. Sometimes things go wrong and you are left with breasts that are misshapen. Sometimes the breasts implants don’t fall into place, leaving them sitting high on your chest. Other times the breast implants look wrinkly. Things do go wrong and you’ll wish you hadn’t had the surgery at all.

3. Breast implants can cause infections. I watched a show on the Discovery Channel about a woman who had terrible problems with her breast implants. Eventually her nipples rotted and fell off. Infections aren’t always this extreme, but they can make you very, very sick.

4. Most guys find breast implants unattractive. That’s right, I said unattractive. You can tell they are fake and most men would rather have a woman with small breasts than large, fake breasts. Plus you should never get breast implants just to please the opposite sex. You’ll only attract sick perverts, rather than intelligent men.

5. Breast implants are not permanent. You must have your breast implants replaced every 10-15 years. This means that not only will you have to go through all that pain again, but you’ll also have to pay for the surgery again.

Thank you. My sister loves hers, and I am going to three weeks to get them. I tolerate pain pretty good. I was running one week after having my kids - which the dr. thought was great! I know and trust the doc doing mine. I use to work for him and has seen his work. He's an artist. As for the stretching - well, the writer should try being a "B" then going to a DD after kids, and then shrinking again. I can't wait to back to a B!

Go for natural . Leave the plastic alone, just love who you are and the unique things that are wonderful about you. Who cares about breast size, how about brain size? they say we only use about 3 % of our brain, so try to use at least 1%. Stay away from messing up your body and health you have other things that can make you attractive if you try to use them.

Oh bull...you people saying that guys prefer them. You're the ones deluding yourselves. Guys like the LOOK of the implants, but from a lot of guys who have BEEN with girls with implants, they say they prefer natural boobs (told to me by people who had completely no interest in getting down my pants and not asked in a direct way in which they were trying to be polite to any smaller-chested girls). I can imagine. It would probably feel like being with a blow-up doll. The silly, stupid, and downright crazy things women will do because they are mentally messed up by the messages our society sends. It's a dangerous, invasive surgery. Some of these women need to put money into counseling, not their chest. You inflate your chest, you're STILL going to have the same mental issues.

If a guy tells you that he doesn't like implants, then he is probably trying to get in your pants. He is a wolf in sheeps' clothing. Watch out.

Breast implants cause autoimmune diseases. I had lovely breast implants I was VERY HAPPY with them as they corrected a large size difference and I looked great in clothes. Within two years I was very sick, I developed an autoimmune disease (Hashimoto's), I got so sick I could not work, shop or take care of myself because I had little thyroid hormone left in my body. Eventually I realized the implants were made from polyvinylchlorides (know to cause autoimmune diseases in factory workers who make the product) what does that do inside your body? and are full of heavy metals. I had the implants removed and did a lot of chelation and cleansing and my health improved. My memory is still not the same. One implant ruptured in the operating room, it was brittle and had been slipped out of pocket for a few years before the removal. I had Mentor implants for 9 years. I was deathly ill, fat and covered in pimples by the time I was 30 years old. Before I had implants I was a size 4 at 5'7" weighed

This is stupid, breast implants are fine, I have them done and I love it, I wish I would have done it sooner, it hardly hurt at all, in fact after I woke up from sugery I didn't even know I had already gone in and it was all over, it was sore sure, but it just felt like I worked out really hard at the gym or something, my breast are soft and freakin beautiful looking, they look so good people that I meet that were afriad of a boob job are schedualing consults with my doc, if you don't beleive me I'll send you pics lol. and no it doesn't matter what size you go to, if you go up 1 cup or 3 cups it's still the same price, and it's not 10,000 it was more like 6,000 plus I got silicone which is more expensive and it was no where near 10,000. in my opinion if you want to get yourself some big fake boobs do it! oh and just to clear one little thing up, guys don't dislike boob jobs, they dislike BAD boob jobs lol anyway go forth and be boobalicious!

Amy- your article sounds bitter and many of your facts are old including the FDA 2004 rules, for the truth one should visit a highly respected and recommended professional. It can be done very tastefully, to the point where you can't really tell and look aroudn at the world of advertising, that alone should tell you that men DO prefer the larger breasts. Not all men, but the majority are hardwired to be attracted to it due to survivalistic encoding in their genes. That doesn't make small breasted women unattractive or any less of a woman - its just preference. Just like I prefer to eat when hungry than to not eat. Its nature. And its no better or wrose than piercing your ears for vanity sake. Just might hurt a bit more for a while. Try to take a step back and see how many woman benifit by it if it is a choice for them vs. looking at the negative.

I am scheduled to have the procedure done in 2 weeks. Yes, I did my research, but of course I can't help but have the fears of "what if" especially after hearing all the horror stories. I have always hated my breasts before my son was born and now, 16 years later I hate them even more. They are empty and excruciatingly saggy(34B cup). I will be getting a 34C (saline filled)which I think will be natural looking. I hope my surgery will go well with no furture complications.

Oh I sense a little hatred and jealous here missy, LMFAO. True, implants ARE NOT for everyone, but there is many women who's lives and self esteem have been greatly improved by them, including mine. Also, you are not required to get your implants replaced every 10 to 15 years, some women have had them for 20 plus even 30 years without problems. New implants now aren't the silicones they used to be, much more strong and less likely to leak. I've had my breasts done twice, I've had them redone only for personal reasons not due to complications. Silicone and Saline both. And most BA's are in the range of 3500 to 6000. I even had a lift done with mine and it was only 8. Get your facts straight.

Tanya, can you let me know the Name, and phone number of the place where you had your breast implants done? $2,500 is a good deal !! :) You can email me at: Nanettelynn4u7@aol.com

I think you are right to warn against it. Surgery is a risk and people should not take it so lightly.

Amy, I have to agree with Scott. Your article is very bias and very much untrue, Yes I said it, UNTRUE! Most men prefer larger breast, and believe me, they don't care how they were acquired. Take a look at the strip clubs... who makes the money? Who visits these places?? And by the way, I'm not a stripper. You will find fathers, brothers, boyfriends, and even grandpas drooling over big chested women. Breast augmentation can be done tastefully if that is what the woman wishes. I do have breast implants and they are a small C cup. My sisters didn't even noticed the change! And by the way, my husband loves the feel of them and would not trade them for my "natural sagging pair!" FYI I only paid $2500, done by an experienced Board Certified Surgeon. As with any surgery, there is always the risk of complications, but so does getting behind the wheel every day. People should not live their lives fearing everything.

Overall this is pretty good, but you let your bias dominate in #4. Kind of kills your credibility.
