Ever since she has lost her weight she has also loss her breast. What kind of boob job is the safest now and feels the most natual(don’t like the hard ones)? Also what is a good price for them and recovery time(so I can use them ;))? Also do they(docs) finance them? It would be so fun to write “boobs” in the memo line of may payment check. 😃 ---

Silicone was banned due to what was, basically, mass hysteria. ---

> [@](#): > > **You mean they make 'em out of tofu now?!?** Actually, that’s not a bad idea! Seriously! I’ve always found the texture of tofu to be somehow erotic, and now I think you’ve identified the ‘somehow.’ You’d need to add or do something to the bean curd to stabilize it, but damn - that’s a good idea. ---

If you could somehow develop soy implants that lactated, would you get soy milk? That would really be handy if your newborn was lactose intolerant. Think I’ll call a patent lawyer… ---

[http://implantforum.com/index.html](http://implantforum.com/index.html) That link is out of order. Just as well, cause they aren’t too keen on breast links here. WB you can check that URL I gave for the “breast test” & select the set that works for ya 🙂 ---
