Why is it 'daft'?

Do you mean "why do I think they are daft?"

Assuming you mean that, then I also have to assume that you are of the mind that larger breasts are better than smaller ones, whether they are real or not, and, that being the case, there wouldn't seem to be any way in which I can explain my point of view to you.

I should point out that I am not including those women who have medical reasons for having had implants.

A lot of assuming going on.

I am of the opinion that people should be allowed to do what they wish with their bodies, including bigger tits. The fact that you or I think they are daft is irrelevant.

I will assume you like flat chested girls that look like 8 year old boys.

getting back to your op, i would think that many women and perhaps some men are very worried today. Hopefully unnecessarily so.

Agreed, provided that these people are prepared to accept the consequences.
I am of the opinion that being cut open and having bags of silicone inserted in the name of vanity is daft.

Of course, that is a different situation.

I wish it was.The problems have been going on for months. They found out there where problem back in 2006 but still carried on using them.The company my wife used are getting back in touch with us to see what there are going to do. It looks like they are all going to have to be changed . I hope this will be done free of charge. The news are f--king useless all they are doing is making people panic and saying they have to be removed .Not reporting that there should be replaced .Just removed .

This is why I can't understand women who mess around with their body for cosmetic reasons - aside from the sad fact they can't just accept what they have they're bringing unnecessary risks into play. Even if the implants turn out to be okay, there's always risks with boob jobs! I learnt the other day that they need replacing every few years too, imagine the cost over a lifetime... crazy.

they dont need replacing "every few years" so thats nonsense to start with.

the VAST majority of women that have implants are not doing so to get in NUTS or ZOO - they do it because they feel st about how they look and, post op, feel great. There are very FEW women who do not regard it as one of the best things they ever did.

I daresay that's entirely true, buit what is disturbing is that they feel st about how they look in the first place, and so much that they are prepared to have themseves cut open and plastic bags full of silicone inserted into them. I think such things have become so commonplace that people have lost touch with just how freaky such behaviour is.

Different strokes for different folks.....

Why would anyone want to go throw themselves out of a perfectly good aeroplane with no more than a silk sheet and some string tied to them in the search of an adrenaline rush ?

Now surely that is odd behaviour ??

Depending on whether the implants are made of silicone or saline the lifespan is between 12 and 18 years, that's every few years as far as I'm concerned. And that's not taking into account the fact they will sag much sooner and depending on the woman could look plain ridiculous.

Like I said, it's a sad fact some women can't just be happy with what they have. The problem lies in their minds, not their bodies, so it seems bizarre to not address the root of the problem to me. I won't even get into the addictiveness some women develop, because you keep 'fixing' what they perceive to be wrong.

Different strokes for different folks, but if making herself artificial is the best thing a woman can 'achieve' in their whole life then that's a damn shame.

Ok, well 18 years isnt "a few" to anyone else - a woman getting them done twice could go 36 years - hardly "regular"

And the sagging is more nonsense - given that most women have small breasts in the first place a woman with implants in their 30's, 40's and onwards will have higher positioned breasts than if she had a normal, 40 year old chest.

Is it right women should the feel the need? Who cares? People stick things through their ears, noses, god knows what....people tatto themselves, people (as has been said) risk life and limb doing all manner of things that make them feel good.

Implants, done right, make a woman feel great - hardly makes them "daft" in my view.

Same here. If adding something to the part of the body that feels incomplete, adds a completeness to the person then that's fine. Many women also do change their minds before surgery and find an alternate resolution to issues of self esteem and the associated feelings.

What is a little sorting to me though is the fist surgery can trigger a search for surgical perfection. Not healthy at all.

How does adding more weight to a breast make is less likely to sag? Quite the opposite would seem to be the view best supported by the physics of the situation. Generally speaking, the smaller the breast, the less likely the sag.

The risks and life expectancy are explained before the operation is done. Its the woman's choice, just like the alloy wheels I bought for my Mk2 Golf when I was 17, bigger than the ones I already had, more expensive but looked great!

Women need to learn that it's not the size or shape of breasts that matters, but who they are attached to. If they need to concentrate on something, it's their personalities, not their bodies.
