All women go through that stage. Some do at 12, for some that phase lasts well into adulthood. Women live happy and productive lives, marry, have kids, all with this "deformity". How sad that people are pushing surgery on girls and women now, rather than emphasizing healthy self-esteem.

You look at those breasts on that link, the hypoplastic ones, and tell me if you'd be happy if they were on your chest.

Some people have physical aspects that make them unhappy. Why on earth should they not get it corrected? I wouldn't hesitate.

But then I'm a blind person who chose to have laser eye surgery, how wrong of me.

The issue of comparing blindness to a cosmetic procedure has already been dealt with in an earlier post.

Your reasoning is exactly what plastic surgeons use to sell cosmetic surgery to the poor in Brazil. Breast implants aren't safe, nor are they necessary for a happy and fulfilling life. But people are free to undertake risky procedures. Too bad our society has become so highly sexualized that girls and young women opt to take the easy way out and get surgery rather than develop their character.

Most of the people replying to this thread clearly know nothing about implants and neither does the author of this article from the language he uses. Another piece of high quality journalism from the Sun.

I've never heard of a breast implant "exploding". The article doesn't mention if they were saline or silicone but the cohesive silicone gel implants don't leak fluid, they stay in one piece even if cut in half (see photos on Mentor's website of a co gel sili implant cut in half) and saline implants slowly deflate and the saline gets reabsorbed into the body. Sili leaks that migrate were cause by implants that are no longer manufactured.

On youtube, you can find videos of implants being run over by trucks and the shell still remaining intact. Today's implants are very safe and high quality, but the scaremongerers will always be out there, trying to make women feel ashamed for the choices they make with their body.

Getting a sili augmentation in July and proud of it!

I personally know someone whose implant exploded, though that is a bit of a dramatic term. Her saline implant broke one night and she woke up with one completely flat breast. Her family joked she had a flat tire.

Diminishing the risks associated with surgery doesn't do women any favors.

Saying that "exploded" is a dramatic term is an understatement. Exploding connotes a sudden, violent rupture with matter everywhere. Her implant leaked and deflated.

There are plenty of scare sites all over the internet...and articles like this one full of partial/outright misinformation about implants in general and sili's in particular. To this day if I tell people that I'm getting sili's, people ask, "Are those the dangerous ones?", seeming to be completely ignorant of the fact that there's been numerous double blind studies on thousands of women with implants which have examined their connection to numerous possible ills and came up with nothing. Yet people will still tell me a bunch of outdated scaremongering "information" about implants. Any surgery involves some sort of risk, but the nature of the risk particularly when it comes to implants is subject to just about the greatest amount of misinformation one can find on the net.

So yes, they are a disability and I'm sorry my description appeared rude, I should have said insufficient glandular tissue.
Are you seeing some picture of the woman in the article that I'm not? They show two photos with her implants one of which shows her bandages, and a third of her without implants but with a large black bar covering them completely. How are you diagnosing her with a deformity when you can't even see her breasts?

They can "rupture" but plastic surgery has limits. She went up over 4 cup sizes which shows she did not research for crap as the safe and best result sizes are in a range of TWO cups. Not FOUR or more.
Go up that much and you will be going back for a lot of work.
