Ladies — you better think hard about whether or not you actually want that boob job, as it isn’t exactly an easy feature to install or upkeep. Unless you NEED them, we say take a step back and weigh the options, first!
The big scare has come from a French company that’s now defunct, that was installing implants with a high rupture rate. But the thing is, even if it’s lower, ALL implants run the risk of rupture — and you do not want that happening for obvious reasons.
This is what the British Implant Information Society says:
“Breast implants do not last a lifetime, they will need replacing at some point in the future.”
The devices are only likely to last 20 to 25 years. There are also other risks, like risks of infection, leakage or bleeding, possible creasing and kinking of the breast tissue, and temporary loss of sensation.
Almost everyone is guaranteed to need further surgery down the road, and if you get them early enough, that could mean more than once as well. With the first surgery costing between $5 and $8 thousand dollars, and the secondary and third operations in the future being MORE expensive because of scar tissue and complications, that might be a lot more expensive than you’re thinking.
It’s ultimately your decision and your happiness, and that’s what’s important: your happiness. But chances are you look beautiful the way you are without the enhancement!
