Maybe you should post a few pix of these implants after they've been removed from the women, and also pix of how their bodies are disformed

I was actually considering getting implants up until about a month ago. That was actually my determining factor, what would I look like if I had to have them removed for, say, medical reasons or something. I learned in my research that in all breast augmentation surgeries some of the natural breast tissue is removed.

That, and I saw the before photos and figured I wasn't doing too bad and should just leave well enough alone.

That's correct...and the silicone continues to eat away at any tissue even following any mastopexy or if they had to form you new breasts due to the silcone eating the original tissue...you would be concave, and am sure you wouldn't want to look that way...and on top of it, sicker than hell.

I got lucky enough to marry a leg man. Its a good thing that when I really wanted implants I couldnt afford them.

Don't have implants. My mother convinced me to get implants when I was in college. I was extremely flat chested. My mother made me feel very inadequate, and offered to pay for the implants.

I went to the doctor's office, and the doctor made it all seem very safe. I was concerned about breast feeding a baby afterward, and the doctor said I'd be able to.

Well, a month or two before I got married, I got a contracture (scar tissue), and my breast got hard and moved up. I looked very strange. One of the reasons why my mom wanted me to have implants was my mother wanted me to look wonderful for my wedding day, well the opposite occurred.

After my wedding, I had surgery to remove the silicone implants, and they were replaced with saline ones. The second plastic surgeon I had was wonderful. She told me the truth about implants. All of the real risks.

Because of the implants, I have lost sensation in the breast, and I could not breast feed.

If my daughters are flat chested, I will never make them feel inadequate. I was an adult when I made the decision to get the implants, but I was very immature. I learned a huge lesson, and one that I will be paying for the rest of my life.

I was lucky that the silicon implants had not ruptured. I'm thankful for that.
