quote: In a study of 3,521 women in Sweden who had breast augmentation surgery for cosmetic reasons between 1965 and 1993, Koot and her colleagues found a higher than expected suicide rate after an average 11-year follow-up.
Eh? Now I thought that implants are supposed to make people happy, not make them want to kill themselves...
quote: Breast enlargement is one of the most popular types of cosmetic surgery, but researchers at the Netherland's University Medical Center in Utrecht believe it could be linked to problems such as lack of self-esteem or poor body image.
I thought they added to someones body image, wierd. well, I know implants make us men happier...

The sort of people who are so unhappy with themselves that they have to have surgery to improve their image are obviously more likely to be emotionally unstable and so commit suicide at some point in their lives. Its not that breast implants make you unhappy, just that people who have breast implants tend to be unhappy people anyway.

Well, duh, people get implants because they don't have enough self-esteem. But the problem is, you don't get self-esteem because you HAVE something. Otherwise rich people would all be content with themselves, wouldn't they? You gotta simply be content with what you already have, no matter what it is.

True. That's why I have not bought any counties this year.

It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

She's had them changed for different sizes a couple times in her life. I think she has new ones in yet again.
