Many if not most women who get breast reductions do it for their health and physical comfort, not to look more attractive. In other words, they’re not doing it for you. So sorry.
Also, I know this was posted 9 years ago, but if anybody’s reading Lizard’s posts and agreeing with him/her, please know that it is not the case that breast tissue is mostly fat. It may be so on fat women, but it is not at all uncommon for women to have breasts that are mostly glandular tissue, or for real, live women to exist who are small everywhere else but have naturally large chests.
Do you understand that most women have breast reduction because their breasts cause them chronic pain? Not because their “natural beauty is not marketable.” Oh, and every woman I know who has had it done, considers it one of the best decisions they ever made in terms of quality of life.
Unfortunately, they are film actresses whose very lucrative careers depend on the prejudices of a homogenenous group of men. They can’t just go free agent and do what they like.
I’ve noticed this in, of all places, a specialist big boob bra catalogue. Their size range is awesome, (strapless bras in a K cup! Ooh, the excitement) but all the models are about a D, which is the smallest size they do.
Some of the models aren’t exactly skinny either, so it seems really odd to me that given their target audience is women with massive knockers, and they’re willing to have models with a healthy level of body fat, they still go for the smaller boobs in their own adverts.
Do you have gallows fodder and Hello Again on ignore or something?
Breast reduction is a much more involved surgery than getting implants. It’s frankly not something you’d just do to help your acting career. They did go free agent and do what they like; they did it because it improved their own quality of life.
I only read about a quarter of page 1, but I thought it was funny; the OP is obviously a boob man. I, myself, do not notice boobs on the TV. What I’ve noticed is that you never, ever see people wearing glasses on TV ads, unless it is a Lenscrafters or HourGlass commercial or something. Mostly, nobody wears glasses in advertising. Except for the people who sell them and everyone in that universe wears glasses. I have no idea what the boob sizes are in eyeglass commercials.
So zombie thread, yeah yeah, but what kills me the most about it is I have a greasemonkey script that identifies zombies, so this thread has a giant red, “This thread is 9 years and 131 days old!” warning on it. Holy shit, I’ve been posting here for 9 fucking years! I haven’t put that much time into anything! Granted, they were on and off with something like a 4 year break tossed in, but still.
I’ve read it–I just don’t see how it’s relevant why they did it. It is still rather sad that they are being taken more seriously now that they’ve had said reduction.
I also don’t think you can know for certain by how involved the surgery is whether or not it is done for vanity or Hollywood. People in that career path do a lot of things that seem outrageously severe to the rest of us. Look at what Renee Zellweger did for Bridget Jones, and then realize that she was one of seven women considered for the role.
EDIT: Sorry for the sloppy sentence construction. I’m a bit too tired to figure out how to fix it.
