Just wanted to chip in a little bit.
Of course thereās women out there who get breast implants because THEY want them. And of course thereās ones out there who get them more for others than themselves. And while respectable Drs are supposed to weed those ones out, thereās this little thing called lying.
Also, you have to take into consideration that we live in a society where from a very young age, girls are taught that they have to be skinny, pretty, and have big boobs to be considered beautiful or accepted. How many people who WANT bigger breasts are doing it because of that reason, whether they realise it or not? Itās just engrained in so many of our heads that genuinely wanting bigger boobs feels like a natural want.
Iām actually quite surprised when I meet a woman with small breasts who actually LIKES their boobs. Even my friends with decent-sized breasts wish theirs were bigger, and I think they look just fine the way they are.
Oh society, how I love you so.

Horrible breasts. She poses tilted, but it is still quite obvious that the implants are screwed up big time. As a minimum she should demand a refund.

Giles, if you really have done all this research on womenās motivations for getting breast implants, may I see some citations?

I agree that breast implants are same as any other body mod (although, I think most women have unhealthy motivations for getting them) but my major problem with them is most of the time they look terrible. About 90% of the boob jobs I see look like shit. I would rather have small tits that look nice instead humungoid tits with nipples that way too high up (like this girl). Like any other mod I judge it based on how it looks. I think the major problem is a lot of girls get breast implants because they want to be perceived as sexy and donāt care about the aesthetics of how they look but with most other mods the whole point is aesthetic. So while I see a lot shitty boob jobs I rarely see mods I would consider ugly. But to each their own, I guess.

Most people modify themselves to beautify themselves in their own eyes. Whether this means getting a tattoo or peircing or augmenting the size of ones breasts, it is still body modification which is what this community is all about. Why has everything turned into a big debate lately? What happened to the fun comments that talked about what people thaought they saw (which is what this forum started as). This picture was to show the work that has been done to her genitals not because of the fact that she has a boob job (or maybe its cause shannon just really likes naked girls š ?) Maybe Giles has a point in that it was just for fitting in OR maybe heās just trying to stir shit up again like with the goat. Either way, canāt we just enjoy the pictures anymore without going into huge debates? I mean, this is a person not an inanimate object here.

Iāve been trolling this site for awhile and just thought Iād put in my .02$
av3ry- What about guys? Personally I feel that men have equal pressure on body image as women do. If you watch pop culture, movies, books, magazines there are always images of these toned adonisā who have bodies most men will never achieve.
We are bombarded with these images and expectations of improbably proportions so how about a little respect for the men sometimes?
Giles- Lets see some links to this āresearchā you keep quoting.
As for being accepted Iād say breast implants are judged as harshly as body modifications and tattoos by some people. Just look at all the people who have commented on how the donāt like the way her breasts look or how implants turn them off. People judge women with implants as much as they judge someone with a tattoo. There will always be negative and positive people towards both.
In regards to the boob job. Iād classify it as a body mod. What we are getting into is splitting hairs. I know people who have gotten piercings and tattoos for improving their self confidence and I consider implants the same. Implants are also removable like most piercings and some women do take them out eventually.

Kaylee >>āMaybe Giles has a point in that it was just for fitting in OR maybe heās just trying to stir shit up again like with the goat.ā
Am not interested in stirring shit up, the picture of the goat was not just vilified by myself but by several other Modblog contributors.
To better qualify the differences between breast implants and āourā modifications just look at the way society views the two. One is seen as quite acceptable the other is demonised.
Anselm >> āOn the same note, I donāt think all women getting breast implants are looking to fit in.ā
Same here, but the majority do at, least according to independent study they do. It is a desire to look more like an ideal image (albeit unattainable) of a woman. The idea being that bigger breasts is somehow more natural or acceptable.
Trinityva >>āmay I see some citations?ā not on the internet, at least not from myself. If you want to see a written piece I could forward one to you.

just because there is one study doneā¦ā¦.doesnāt mean a person should put all of there trust into it. things become outdated.

i wonder what the authors motive was with that one?!

I totally agree with Giles. I have done research myself on tattoos and plastic surgery for school, and there are many sources that support the theory that tattoos serve as self-identifying marks for an individual, and are done for many reasons beyond wanting to look good, while aesthetic surgery, which would include breast implants, are more suited for remaking an individual into an image that will be generally accepted by society. I wonāt go into surgical reconstruction for people whose looks may be marred due to unfortunate circumstances, which is why I will make a distinction between aesthetic surgery and reconstructive surgery.
Furthermore, addressing the issue that scholars may be biased against modified people, this is an outdated idea as the researchers who work in cultural studies regarding the body happen to be more open-minded about such things nowadays. One example would be Margo DeMello, who wrote a great book about the modern history of tattoos, Bodies of Inscription: A Cultural History of the Modern Tattoo Community, which includes interviews with many people whose names you may have heard of. She herself is tattooed, which is unsurprising.

Itās been my experience that whether an academic has tattoos or not, the theories and statements they produce tend to be bunk, way off the mark, and generally more about promoting their own views than making actual accurate statements. Iāve yet to see a book whose conclusions arenāt fraught with errors and false observations.
I can produce numbers and claims from āacademicly respectā studies on both body modification and breast implants that have damning conclusions, and others that are positive. It may as well be fiction or a collection of random updates.
In any case, the fact is that many people get breast implants for themselves. And yes, many people get them because they think others will like them as well. And if you think itās ANY different for tattoos these days, in 99% of the cases, youāre kidding yourself.
