Having felt some myself, what can I say? They don’t feel like flesh and women often lose sensation.
A friend of mine tells me of having to talk her 17-year-old students out of such ‘cosmetic surgery’. Their mothers have fake breasts. These families are not rich in terms of money or the all-purpose ‘self-esteem’.
The phrase ‘boob job’ itself is perky and does not connote a big operation of cutting and slicing, one that almost certainly will have to be done again. Clinics do not tell the whole truth. And some women don’t want to know it.
We live in a breast-fixated culture where women are meant to diet themselves down to nothing but still retain massive mammary glands. This unlikely ideal is reinforced by freely available pornography and C-list celeb culture.
Watching the women totter into Celebrity Big Brother or ‘Implant Central’, as I call it, was depressing. There were a pair of zoned-out Californian blonde twins (ex-girlfriends of that decrepit old pimp Hugh Hefner), a lingerie model who referred to her breasts as an ‘heirloom’, some WAG and Natasha Giggs – famous for sleeping with her brother-in-law.
