...Three Scandinavian studies have reported that women who had breast implants for augmentation were three times more likely to commit suicide compared to women in the general population. ...
This would make sense. Women who go for augmentation do it because they don't like who they are. Sometimes, the breast size is only an excuse, what they sometimes really want is to "be" somebody else. So the bolts-on are installed and ta-damm, here's a new woman! Not so fast... True, the implants might change some aspects of her life but, somebody who doesn't like himself will soon find something else, and the circle keep going. Why do you think some see a plastic surgeon more often than a dentist?
On some, after a while, the physical changes don't do it and, when they realize it, it's sometimes too late and they end their life.
I've always said, when a woman want implants, the first thing she should do is consult an independant psycologist. I'd be surprised to find how many would still want implants after they learn to love themself. To me, the psycologist would be a better investment than the bolts-on, with no possible life-threatening side effects, no "adjustment surgery" after 10-15 years, no scars, no "tam-tam" feel...
There are exception to this. Some really just want to get rid of aging process on their boobs, like after pregnency. I personally know 2 women like this. Boobs were sagging after they had kids and they got them firmer. Not DD there, only to get them where they used to be.
I don't know but, when a woman defines herself entirely on how she look or the size of her boobs, i think there's something unhealty there...
