Breast augmentation was the top cosmetic surgical procedure in the United States last year, with 296,000 going under the knife, according to The American Society of Plastic Surgeons.

Augmentations rose two percent, with silicone implants used in 60 percent of the procedures.

This news struck us as kind of scary, given that the Food and Drug Administration is investigating a possible connection between both saline and silicone implants and the risk of anaplastic large cell lymphoma, a very rare type of cancer.

According to The Huffington Post, other complications of breast surgery and silicone and saline breast implants include infection, chronic breast pain, breast or nipple numbness, hardened and misshapen breasts, breakage and leakage, disfigurement, cognitive impairment, metal poisoning, debilitating autoimmune disease and death, among other ailments.

All good reasons for women to love what their mamas gave them. Besides, implants tend to make women look like they're in line to be Hugh Hefner's next wife. Do you agree?

I can't understand why women feel the need to have big jugs. I have them, and they're uncomfortable and heavy. I wasn't "blessed" with big ones. I was cursed!!! Ha Ha! Mine cost alot of money to "support". Terrible pun, huh? Hee Hee!

Implants are bad Real an Milk good. There are two ways to grow them. One is a cream or Pill. the Second is pump them for Milk. Or try both at the same time. Both work.

Lets say that after each child a man lost some his length or width. Or that after weight loss their balls would shrink. Would you then get an enlargement to correct what was lost. Most women seek out that loss. I was a small b before 3 chilldren and breast feed for a total of 30 months. Now an a without any volume close to what I had before. I reached a large c almost d cup size each time. If this would not have altered my body so much I would not conceder augmentation. But it has and if I have the funds and the cost does not effect my life should I or shouldn't I? I have that right with out hearing about the people who can't get them or have natural nice boobs talking crap and assume everyone is getting them for the same reason.

As long as its done right by a good doctor the risks are very few. Why should people make women feel guilty for getting them.I love both real and enhanced. Of course I'm an ass man so breasts are Iceing on the cake to me.If men could enhance their parts as easily, almost every guy would do it.It really can boost a woman's confidance in world where women are SO insecure about their bodies. Stop hatin on Pornstars!

Crap, meant to hit 'no'. But anyway, that isn't the point. The point is, bigger tits are not always a good thing. If you get the implants, you tend to end up with back problems if you add more than one cup size. (And then there are some of us that have natural ones that give us back problems.) Besides, boobs are supposed to be proportional to the person who has them. If you're a skinny chick, C- or D-cups are not usually attractive, comfortable, or anywhere near realistic-looking. If they're fake, you can usually tell, and they look ridiculous.

If someone had a double mastectomy, I would say I could understand the risk. Getting them for cosmetic purposes scares me. If you can afford a very good doctor, my opinion is it is up to the person do decide. If you are picking from an ad, and have not researched, I would say you are taking a great risk as many issues can occur with a good dr, so at least limit those risks...

Yes. There are very, very few medical risks with implants and a good surgeon. I've seen many friends have implants and they are happier because they fill out their clothing better, can wear more things and generally they just make them happier. Their boy friends and husbands said they liked the additions as well. Guess it is all personal choice.

My good friends wife had 4 children and said her boobs pointed straight to the ground. Now with implants they are firm and perky. She likes them.

My wife got them and they are fantastic for everyone involved. From a B to a full C is a beautiful thing.

It depends on the woman. For some women it is needed as prostheses after a mastectomy or as too build self esteem.

No sir, I do not like them. They just look, abnormal. Contrary to popular belief and machismo bragging, most men don't really care about the size. They just like breasts, regardless. Nothing is more disturbing than underscars and nipples that are pointing a direction nature did not intend them to.

Speaking as a man, I know my say on this is probably quite limited. But still, when I look for at a woman, nothing is more beautiful than self-confidence. I want to be with a girl that truly loves how she looks. To me, it doesn't matter if she's an A-Cup or a D, as long as she loves herself, thats what matters.

Big boobies aren't alI they're cracked up to be. They hurt your back and your neck, and no one ever looks you in the eye. I just don't get why some women want them so bad.

I believe there's a place in our society for them, for when women who have had a mastectomy and for women who have grown no breasts at all.

As a male I can tell you I love breasts...of ALL sizes.

Women shouldn't believe the image that Hollywood sells as normal. I believe most men want to see normal-looking breasts, my guess anyway. Women wearing these extra large implants in tiny bikinis just don't look normal. Normal breasts don't pop out like balloons. Problem is, women will pay large sums of money to purchase implants that just don't look normal.

When women lay down, so should their breasts!

BUT, like I was saying, for psychological reasons, for the ladies who have absolutely nothing and those recovering from mastectomies, I'd encourage smaller saline implants from a reputable surgeon.
