Please note: The thoughts in this post apply to women who had normal, healthy breasts before implants. It is not a commentary on women who get implants due to deformity or other medical circumstances.
Why do some people hate breast implants? The reasons are endless.
I think the main point is that the pendulum is swinging back, away from fake toward natural. Natural is now a novelty, and humans are drawn to novelty. Basically, implants have been overdone. We're sick of them.
I actually think the jealousy factor is overstated and overestimated. I don't believe many women look at other women with implants and get mad because they wish they could afford some. I think the sentiment goes more along the lines of "really? you had to get those boobs? as if that's what we're supposed to look like? as if natural breasts are not enough? not acceptable?" When a woman just gets implants to have a bigger set, and her original pair was not deformed, but perfectly normal, it's almost an insult to women as a whole. It helps to further normalize a beauty ideal only achievable through surgery. It helps to foster the idea that beauty costs a lot of money. It's consumerism at its sickest - human beings paying to have strangers knock them out, slice them open, and insert foreign objects into their bodies for the sake of... "beauty". I'm telling you, the archeologists of the future are going to think our society was pretty whacked when they dig up these skeletons with giant sacks attached to the rib cages.
On to another reason people don't dig implants: they usually look grotesque because of who is getting them. Implants would really give the best effect for someone who had a nice layer of softness / padding / fat on them. The implants would look... real-ish. But people with a nice layer of fat are the least likely to "need" implants! (Breasts are mostly fat after all.) Our culture tells women "you must be skinny!" but for most women, once they get "skinny enough" their boobs go away along with the rest of the fat. Our culture then tells women "you must have big boobs!" For most women it's either / or. Either you can be super skinny with no boobs or you can carry a little extra weight and have boobs. But culture says neither of those options is acceptable. You have to be skinny with big boobs, (so all the gyms, diet companies, and surgeons can be filthy rich.) But what we get are these emaciated women, with these big, round volley balls stuck on their chests and it just looks wrong.
I think many people associate negative personality / character traits with fake boob women. Above average vanity and a misguided sense of self worth to name a couple. If bigger boobs make you feel better about yourself.. what does that say about you? Where did you get the idea that your real breasts were "wrong"? Women who get implants risk their health for beauty. I say this about cell phones too - we don't have enough generations of scientific data to know what the health risks and implications will be. Why be a guinea pig? Like it or not, we do judge others based on how they spend their time and money. Implants have to be re-done every 10-15 years or so. All of that money and recovery time could arguably be better spent. Just sayin'. Additionally, I believe many people instinctively / intuitively know that women who get breast implants are more likely to be mentally unbalanced. The suicide rate among women with implants is 3 times higher than among women without implants. Women with implants have triple the likelihood of death by drugs and alcohol compared with the general population. Here are some articles about the link between psychiatric issues and breast augmentation:
Breast implants, like myspace, silly bandz, or low rise jeans, are a fad. The look is becoming lame and dated. We are moving on. To butts apparently. But anyway the real point is: it's one thing to take part in a fad by signing up for a web page, or buying some cheap bracelets, but when you are literally having surgery to participate in a fleeting trend... yikes. Boobs, like pretty much everything else, go through fads and trends. Think about the preferred look in the flapper era vs. the 1950s vs. the 2000s! Who knows what will be in style next. It does appear that big round implants have been played out though. Maybe all the geniuses out there who got them can have them removed and re-implanted into their butt cheeks now. Gotta keep up with the times..
What are the reasons why some people hate breast implants so much? Is it because some go too large and it's not proportionate to their body. Do some get mad because they can't afford to get implants and are jealous of some women that do.
Some women need them, especially after birth of a few kids. I have a friend in CA, she had two kids. After the second one she had to get them done. I don't judge her for that. My friend takes care of herself and did not want to look saggy even though she knows it is not the same thing anymore.
Some women need them because their boobs are not even and they might have a slightly heavier bottom, so they want that correction to appear more proportional, if they can afford it.
Some women need them because they are in the porn/entertainment business and want to draw more attention. They prefer that “cartoon character” look.
Personally, I don't need a boob job, because I am very proportional, in this case ,I feel like that is enough for me and my man.
Everyone that “hates” them, don’t really hate them like they say they do. It is a preference thing for men and women. They just get worked up.
If I woman is jealous of another woman that gets more attention from men because of her boobs, that is not the kind of men she needs to hang with anyways.
Men like all boobs, as long as they are healthy looking. Some boobs jobs can look pretty natural, but some look like Plastic surgeon disaster…Immediate turn off…
So, they are a lot of mixed feelings about fake boobs. Generally speaking, it is not the healthiest option for women.

Why do some people hate artichokes? Is it because they're green? Do some get mad because they can't afford to eat them every week and are just jealous of some shoppers that can?

H A T E ???? Do people really HATE implants? If so, they don't have much of a life, do they!
Maybe they don't like people that lie and pretend either.
I feel sorry for the women that feel that they are somehow more attractive to men if they have implants. Their
egos must come from the bottom of a bird cage.
My opinion is similar to what K9coach said (excellent post BTW): everyone's getting them. Well, not everyone but breast implants are becoming more common and I'm guessing more affordable. It's not just certain people (rich, famous, vain, etc.) getting them anymore so they're not as special.
A personal reason why I hate breast implants or women's desires to get them for cosmetic reasons: I have breasts that are large for my body, and living with that day-to-day I wonder why women are envious of large breasts. How are larger breasts supposed to make you feel better or get people to like you? Is that what was really missing from your life?
A few years ago I saw a human interest story on one of the broadcast news-magazine shows about parents who paid for their high school-aged daughters' plastic surgery. One of the girls featured was a 17-year old whose parents got her breast implants. At the end of the story they were saying it was worth it because now the daughter is more confident and can shop at Victoria's Secret with her friends! What a life! I know I'm going to hear people say stuff like "it's their money" and etc. but that is ridiculous. My breasts definitely continued growing after age 17...So hearing stories like that make me hate breast implants.
Its just is a red flag to me as a woman when another woman has implants. Like, why would any reasonable person go through so much trouble (surgery, $, pain, time off of work, time to recover, not being able to work-out for a while, etc.) to have larger breasts implanted.
Its like having a sign around your neck hat says "I think this is all I have to offer" or "I have low self-confidence".
