I believe I've already explained why I have made my comments and they certainly are not based on assumption.
Just because I would never choose to have implants myself, does NOT mean I have no knowledge or personal experience with them through friends and family.
The majority of women I know who have had them for 10 or more years, say they wished they had never had them done at all.
AND if women are having them done over and over again, because they want increasingly bigger and bigger implants, then they are continuously fighting encapsulation, aren't they?

I disagree.
Not all implants are placed under the pectorals now and many drs. don't think that placement is wise at all. Each patient is evaluated and treated as an individual case, based on their own genetic, medical and reproductive history.
And regardless of where the implant is placed, it is still a foreign object and the body will react to it in the same way.
I never anticipated a debate on the risks, or perceived risks, of implants. I just wanted to know the general take on it with ivillage posters and lurkers.
What is suprising is that no one has admitted to having them and then having them removed for good. I would have thought a few would have fit that category.
Thanks for answering with your votes and comments.

I said Never gonna get em. I know people that have them and have never complained about them and I totally understand that some people feel more secure, or happier with implants. I however, have naturally D-cup sized boobs, and if i were to do anything it would be to get them reduced...I think if you're getting implants, never go over a C in size, I can never wear cute haltar shirts or low cut shirts because i look trashy with all the clevage i get, or if i don't wear a bra. I'm only 19, and it sucks to not be able to wear the same fun haltars and tube tops and whatever else to the clubs with my friends, so I would definately say if you're getting implants, just think about the effects of the size you are planning on and definately don't go over a C cup. good luck ladies.
