A black-and-white photo of a person mid-air in a Superman-style body suspension pose, supported by multiple hooks in their back and legs, smiling joyfully toward the camera. They are suspended horizontally in a large indoor space with high ceilings and visible rigging. A group of onlookers—some seated, some standing—watch with expressions of admiration, amusement, and support. The atmosphere is lively and communal, capturing a moment of shared experience and transformation.

Lung surgery?

Not that Dustin Robbins of Iris Piercing in Salt Lake City, Utah didn’t do a very nice nipple placement on this customer, but I am soooo into the scar. I know on some levels it’s wrong to fetishize things like that, because it’s essentially getting off on someone else’s pain, but I really think that it’s very difficult to express beauty without putting it into context, and that’s what life scars (versus chosen scars) give a person I think…

    I have never actually commented here before, but this reminds me of my own scar so much that I had to. I was born with what’s called an esophageal atresion, where my throat wasn’t connected to my stomach, and it left me with a scar almost exactly like this. It starts right below my left breast and swoops up onto my shoulder blade- about twenty inches long. Yes, it is awesome. Anyway, this could very easily be from something else but just wanted to note it, as I’ve never actually seen anyone else with a scar so like my own.

    If they are implants, I’ve never seen better/more natural looking ones. I extremely doubt it.

    “Lisa – What do you mean ‘obviously been augmented’? Those could easily be natural.”

    I think it’s somewhat amazing that people have become so used to the look of breast implants that they think these look natural. You can see the shape and outline of the implants through her skin! Look at the shape of the breast, look at the placement (high high up the breast is on her chest), look at how far over to her side/armpit the implant sits, look at how full her breasts are at the top (well, really just the scarred on) … these are all the results one would expect from a thin woman like that having implants put in, placed above the muscle. I am not criticizing her or anyone who gets implants, I am merely stating the obvious. She looks great… but that doesn’t take away from the fact that those are implants.

    I myself have had a breast lift. The scars that run underneath my breasts from that surgery look exactly like what she’s has under her breast, only mine does not travel all the way into the armpit. My guess would be that the scar is under her breast that way because the surgeon tried to avoid placing the scars on her nipples… although, I can’t tell from this photo, it does almost seem that she has a slight scar on the nipple of the other breast, so it’s hard to say from just looking at this picture. It could also mean that she had a lift along with the augmentation… which would explain the long scar as maybe some left over saggy skin had to be removed there on the side.

    It also looks somewhat similar to the scarring left by a mastectomy (breast removal), oddly enough.

    For all I know that scar has nothing to do with the implants. Either way, those boobs are fake, scar or no scar.

    I just wanted to point out that, given how muscular her body is, it might just be that she has very developed pecotral muscles, which change the shape of her breasts and give them that extra-firm implanty look. Check out the muscle in the transition from shoulder to breast.

    as a medical professional, i would guess that at some point she had her chest opened on an emergency basis for a lung/ heart issue. for this, i would say a heart issue, as a chest tube usually suffices for lung issues.

    It looks like a scar from a breast reduction surgery. The scar is wider at the armpit where the drainage tubes would come out but there doesn’t seem to be any scarring around the nipple so maybe it was made by alien kidnappers lookin to stock up on some human juice.

    So I asked her where the scar came from. It is where she had a rib removed. It was ground-up and used as a paste to fuse the spine (scoliosis). When it was healling it itched so bad she scratched it until it opened the wound. “I scratched it until I felt what I think was a vein.” She ripped the skin so badly, they had to tape it closed. I love the scar. Thats why I got that angle for the photo.

    she very well may have implants but when looking at the rest of the pictures in the set I notice there is no scar on the left side, so I’m leaning more torwards accidental being its a little jagged, it very well could be surgery to in any case it looks nice imo.

    It is blatantly obvious that this is a ‘shopped photo. The breasts are fake, the scar is fake and the person is fake.

    her nipples arent stretched over the breast enough for implants.

    it looks like shes just on a slight angle, and has one arm tensed (to take the picture) thats why one appears to be ‘fuller’

    anyway, its a beautiful scar, and her piercings, perfect.

    not to mention great boobs.

    fake boobs are much fuller at the top of the breast, which gives it the fake look.

    it looks like a scar as a result of breast cancer tbh. Reconsruction is done by cutting right round the side, recruiting a muscle from you back, and if necessary placing an implant.. The scarred breast looks more augmented than the left side.
