Breast implants: Mutilation or not?

To start with, we can all be a little superficial, its just a matter of degree. And superficial doesn’t nessesarily mean bad, it would depend on any consequences.
are more important things being ignored? Are there health issues? etc…

Generally speaking, mutilation would be too harsh of a word.

Ultimately of course it’s the womans choice. But I do feel sorry for the women who do it because they see big breasted women getting more attention. Sure they do. So would a 3rd arm.

My little sister had a reduction, for what I would consider “health” reasons. Back problems etc…she had a small frame with bigger than DD’s.

My cousin, who had smaller breasts, with an originally small frame,( I thought she looked great!) Later on got implants, after several years of working out that bulked her up a bit. All that attention she paid to her body look, while working out, as well as a felt need to add something more feminine, to counter act the now more masculine body, prob led to this decision.

As for my own chauvanistic opinion, I don’t care about “big” at all. Maybe prefer smaller. But ya, proportion to the rest of the body, and natural support do make a difference.

Of course its been over a decade since I’ve seen a live breast, or dare I say, felt one.
But as memory serves, those used to be my feelings on breasts.

My God, I’ve just realized, I went all through the 90’s with no sex! So if my head explodes, and this message ends abruptl

I recently finished a term paper in my Sociology class about how a persons appearance (the most trivial and first noticed characteristic about a person) leads to different expectations, thoughts and reactions from people they interact with.

Studies have shown that people often behave as others expect them to. In addition a persons conception of self has been found to be very close to others perceptions of them. Tell a person they are smart enough times by enough people and pretty soon they begin to believe it.

Prior to this paper I considered myself against plastic surgery. I really viewed it as a weak method of bolstering self-esteem. Since I finished my research I’m not so sure. I think its important to realize that a persons self-esteem isn’t necessarily derived from within. Its a constant process of action and reaction between people and things in their immediate surroundings. People who have been attractive their entire lives have experienced a very subtle form of encouragement and approval based upon their looks for their entire lives. For unattractive people it has been the opposite. Based on this I’ve taken a step back from my earlier opinions regarding plastic surgery as a whole. If I now look at instances of plastic surgery in the world I try to do so from a very objective, case by case perspective.
