I just think the novelty has worn off, so you just don't hear about it that often.

Idunno I think it's just less common. But I know that for some girls I've attended school with, they compared breast sizes the way teenage boys compare dick sizes in the locker rooms.

There was a girl from my old highschool who had implants(and they really messed her chest up, she had to have a later surgery to correct the nipples; not exactly something I'd want to personally deal with after dishing out that much money) but anyway she was a bit... defensive about her appearance. Insecure and would freak out at the implication or direct insult to her 'looks'.

I'm a little bit perplexed by the negativity articulated in some of the other threads on this topic. If a woman wants them, that's her business.

I agree with JR.

And it's not about scars for me; it's about odd shapes and the thought of having a foreign material in the body and being disproportionate. I've had a breast reduction and thus have scars, but nobody's been bothered by them and a few people (including myself) really like them

I hope so! They are quite dangerous as far as breast cancer goes.

I've had a reduction because my breasts caused me a lot of pain and deformed my bones. I don't understand why anybody would want to make them bigger and I don't know why I got so much malice from people when they found out I was going to have mine reduced. My own father even said I was "disfiguring" myself and refused to visit or call me after surgery.

nah, there still around.

i have no clue cuz i never needed to look into them

I think people definitely still get them. I know a couple of people with them. I guess there might be fewer people getting them the last few years because of the economy.

I don't understand why people are so negative towards people who get them. Just let people do what they want with their body and appearance and leave them alone about it.

for those who think i hate breast implants...i do not. i do not hate scars either...and it doesn't matter what i hate anyway. women who want them should get them...women who have them i hope are happy with them. women thinking about getting them to please someone else or to try to fit a body image created by our society i hope reconsider. and anyone encouraging someone to do it for their own selfish reasons should recognize that her breast size is not going to make her a different person or change her personality, and you will still find something wrong with her even after...and perhaps those people should look internally about that.
