Breast Implants surgery is very safe nowadays. My cousin got her breast reduction, tummy tuck and facelift surgery in India by the company called Forerunners Healthcare .The Price for the surgery she paid in India was very less. She paid 30% of the cost she was quoted in America.\n\nForerunners Healthcare is very famous in India. They arrange cosmetic and plastic surgery for foreigners in India. I read a lot about them in the Newspapers and about their patient stories. They arrange financing for USA, Canadian, UK and other international patients who plan to have surgery abroad for low price, as the breast reduction, tummy tuck, facelift and other cosmetic surgery is not covered by insurance. They also have photos pasted of their International patients. You can checkout their website. There are huge cost savings. As a doctor I personally believe that surgery can be easily handled in India, as the quality of healthcare available In India is simply best in the world. The surgeons are USA/UK trained and facilities are 5 star.\n\nhttp://www.forerunnershealthcare.com\nHope this helps.

I'm glad you're a kind man and reassure her about her appearance. \n\nIn the end though, what she does with her body is very much her decision. \n\nIf you are concerned that she may be doing this because of her friends, I seem to recall a few actresses who have had their implants taken out: if she admires any of them, you could share this information with her.

Yes, unfortunately you don't pay once for implants - you pay twice. Once to put 'em in, and then thousands more when they go rock hard and painful 10-15 years later.  (They are a 'foreign body' inside you.  The doctors call it 'encapsulation').  \nNo reputable surgeon will tell you that implants of any kind last forever. I know from personal and very painful experience (i still got 'em because I can't afford to have them replaced!) that they don't. \nSo do think hard...(Will I have a spare £4-5000 in 10 years time????)\nGood luck honey.\nPS: I wouldn't want 'Eric' as MY doctor!

If I had a significant other who got breast implants, I would quite possibly leave her.  That's how much they bother me.

I think the better question is "is breast implant surgery safe"? With any surgery comes risk. You have to decide if altering your body surgically outweighs the risk. Once you feel comfortable with that answer, I would submit that any foreign substance in your body also comes with risk. Saline is safer than silicone just by nature of it's more natural ability to merge with your own body chemistry. Good luck. And, do you really need bigger boobs????\n\nDrC

Don't be discouraged by all of these biased answers.  For some reason people can be so hateful, and ugly when it comes to this topic.  If they don't have them or have first hand experience with them, I would take their advice with a grain of salt.\nI have implants and I love them.  My husband said that he was happy with what I had too, but I wasn't.  I got them for me.  My clothes fit better now, because I actually have something to fill my shirts.  And people are not going to say anything about it, that girl is so uninformed about implants.  No one will even know, unless you want them to.\nI researched it for over a year, before I finally made my decision.  I have had them for about a year now, and I absolutely love them, and have no regrets.\n\nThis website helped me tremendously when making my decision:\nhttp://allaboutplasticsurgery.com/

If you mean implants, then no, they're not safe. They can leak, and can cause necrosis, where the tissue dies, leaving you with a great big hole in your breast. They also have to be replaced every ten years, though they start breaking down after five. There are also stories of women becoming very sick after getting implants. Please don't get them.\nIf you do though, at least go to a reputable surgeon. Transform are probably your best bet.\nGo to the websites below to see what happens when implants go wrong.

As a mammographer, I am not a fan of breast implants. As we know, early detection of breast cancer DOES save lives. It is very hard to find an early breast cancer on mammography, even with improved techniques. The implant hides the breast tissue on the film. Please research this aspect of it. If you still decide to have implants, have them put in BEHIND the chest wall. That will allow a bit more breast tissue to be imaged during mammography. Good luck to you and please do your homework!\n\nHere are what some "experts" say. You can go to the links for additional info:\n\nBreast implant interference with imaging breast tissue, with between 22% and 83% of mammographically visualizable breast tissue obscured by breast implants. http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/breastimplants/b-adverse-events.html\nIn women without implants, mammography detected 67% of cancers. In women with implants, mammography detected 45% of cancers. \nhttp://www.breastcancer.org/breast_implant_mammogram.html\nScreening mammography missed 55% of breast cancers in women with implants, compared with only 33% among women without implants. \nhttp://www.menagainstbreastcancer.org/online_support/resources/mammography_and_breast_implants.php\n\nFor even more info: \nhttp://www.menagainstbreastcancer.org/online_support/resources/mammography_and_breast_implants.php\nhttp://www.fda.gov/cdrh/mammography/mmwebbro/mambrochure.html\n\nI have also “handled” probably over 2,000 breasts with implants.  The far majority do not feel natural.  This is especially true when the implants are about 5 years or older.

Uninformed people will tell you that breast implants are unsafe, but this is just not the case.  There are many doctors in CA that specialize in this.  This website has a list of recommended doctors that they have researched and found them to be very reputable:  http://allaboutplasticsurgery.com/\n\nThe danger comes in when you do not research your doctor.  There are many people who are not licensed that will give implants, and they are tempting because they are are cheaper.  DO NOT go to a surgeon who is not Board Certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery.  Do your research and you will be fine.

Anything natural is the best even if it is breasts. Implants are good to see and drool over, though. But, I wouldn't want them on my girl. NO WAY.

My mom is in her mid-to-late 40's and has been in your shoes her entire life.  We have all tried to get her to have a breast reduction but she is scared of losing her nipple (one of the complications of surgery).  Now she has found a wonderful plastic surgeon with a fantastic nurse and is planning on having it done in the next year or so.  The nurse at the doctor's office said the recovery for someone having implants is painful (they have to move the implants a lot) but the recovery for a reduction is almost painless, and she has seen about a thousand go through their office for both surgeries!  I had a coworker that went through the surgery, raved about it afterwards, and when asked about how it affected her nipples, she said they were actually more sensitive now than before!\n\nDon't forget to make sure your surgeon (if you decide to do it) is board certified and has done many surgeries of this kind.  Go see more than one until you find the right one.  Most doctors don't charge for consultations and some even offer free learning seminars at their offices about their procedures where you can ask questions.

the breast isn't a muscle\n\ninstalling biceps would be something that is considered a muscle implant

The pills do not work.\nPersonally, I have implants, and love them, but it wasn't a decision that I made on a whim or took lightly.  I made sure that I was all done having children, and researched it for over a year before I made my final decision.\nThis website really helped me in my decision making:  http://allaboutplasticsurgery.com/

I have a friend who has had her implants for almost 10 years and only until recently has her doctor mentioned getting them done again. I really think it depends on the person and their overall health. Also, it depends on the doctor. Make sure she does extensive research on the procedure itself AND the doctor she may choose.
