The news this morning was about studies which have been done in Finland, Sweden and the United States. It seems that women who opt for breast implants are three times more likely to commit suicide than women who have not had the surgery.
It's likely that women who choose to alter their shape surgically will be unhappy with how they look even after the surgery. They may be unable to see themselves in a positive light no matter how good they look.
It's a sad commentary on our society that we are unable to accept our bodies, and that we STILL prize a look that requires an anorexic life style.

A lady at work had reduction done. First because her doctor recommended it, and second because she was TOO big. Nice looking though, built right, but HUGE.
She thought she would look SO much better and did at first. After a while though, she decided she still isn't happy. But she says she will live with it because she won't do it again.
Next question is, HOW BIG WAS SHE. They took over three pounds of tissue off the two, combined, and she is still sporting a "D". That big.

I have a friend who told me her maternity bra was a size J. I didn't even know that size existed.

So breast implants are now causing women to commit suicide? I better email that penis enlarger company and ask about the side effects.
