Mythbusters covered that. But all products have the possibility of being defective. Its why you never use anything new on the market and know the reputation of the implant manufacture and limitations based on implant type.
But basically if you don't want to watch the vid: The pressure would kill you fake boobs or not at the pressure level that would destroy them. Implant test starts at 6:30

Just some funny news stories that implants saved lives:

Breast Implant-Breast Augmentation Saves Woman's Life - YouTube


Blue Marlin impales woman's breast implant - YouTube


I don't know about you...but if I went through ANY of that I would be so happy I bought some boobs. LOL

Why on Earth would anyone even think that is attractive? Bizarre. I love my little bitty...I hardly wear a bra...and yes....men do notice my attractive natural beauty...I have had boyfriends and even been married....despite my "deformity".

Get some self esteem.....you are more than your boob size.

Yes please go fix yourself! You need to go at least to a c-cup. It's worth the time and effort...just wait until all of those guys see you and your designer rack!

This will certainly be beneficial to your life and your family.

Women who get implants are doing it for aesthetic reasons with a little low self esteem mixed in. The only women who should get implants are the victims of breast cancer or for deformed breast (quality of life ..back pain etc).

I think just in looking around the natural size is about b/c of people with healthy weights of average heights.
Blaming the explosion of breast size on the "obesity" crisis" is BS. We all know plenty of small women with natural large breasts, and plenty of larger women with small breasts.

Some people do gain weight, and gain in their breasts, but there isn't a one to one correlation. I think they don't want to admit the hormones in our foods cause problems.

Yeh but most women get bigger boobs with weight gain. Its a very popular issue on weight loss boards. The boobs going with the rest of the weight. Obesity is not gaining a bit too much weight its definitely more times than not going to add fat to your chest. It does for men even. Its not about the current size of the person. Say someone who was big and then lost a ton of weight but didn't have a large chest. They may go from a c cup to b or even smaller depending on the ratio of fat tissue to breast tissue. And I think smaller people who are not active will have a larger chest too just due to higher body fat. With the current common lifestyle most people who are thin are not really a low fat body type unless they workout (skinny fat). Just in my weight changes everything stayed in proportion but it changed by bra size slightly. Some people lose as many as two cups sizes.


They do also link blame of early development in girls from the hormones in the environment.

They also link environmental exposures to weight:
Why Chemicals Called Obesogens May Make You Fat - The Daily Beast

Just google that term in the article if you want to find more reading on that. Its pretty interesting.
Side note: If you have issues with loss try going all organic and pesticide free for a couple weeks.
It can help clear out the thyroid slowing chemicals. Its easier to afford if you mix in vegan dishes. Meat prices are just ridiculous lately organic or not.

That was my first thought, too. Weird. Why not just a reasonable c ?

The condition is called by names insufficient glandular tissue, hypoplasia, or hypoplastic breasts.

So yes, they are a disability and I'm sorry my description appeared rude, I should have said insufficient glandular tissue.
You are fine. I think some of these folks are being a little sensitive/defensive. Wonder why ...

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.
Why are you assuming all women who might opt for this procedure are doing it for sexual purposes? Yes, they are terribly unsafe and I personally would not do it, nor do I think most women should, but can't you at least admit that there are exceptions to every rule, and perhaps you are not to judge in those cases?

Guess what ladies? We can have high self esteem, love the bodies we are in, AND do whatever we want to make ourselves look even better. It does not have to be one perspective or another.
It's acceptable to modify however we wish. Be it pedicures, piercings, hair color or even surgery. Whether or not we agree with it is not the point. Having the freedom to do it-is.

And let's not forget the legs and other parts...some guys are not breast-focused at all.
