Even if the stories of these women are 1 in 100 or even 1 in 500 cases, I agree with the last poster that we shouldn't play Russian roulette with our bodies. Even if breast implants are "relatively safe," why take the chance on a medical procedure that is absolutely unnecessary? As a 121 lb 22 year old with a C cup, even I feel the pressures of our media to alter my body, and this is completely uncalled for. Nowadays, plastic surgery advertisements have made their way to my local newspapers and radio--and I live in rural Ohio.
In truth, women are never going to be satisfied with their bodies as long as they keep feeding us the lie that we shouldn't be.
