Of course, after spending thousands of dollars and getting admiring looks and comments, women will feel great about themselves. But when that passes, what are they left with? That they were admired for how they filled out a sweater? If you depend on the reactions of others for your happiness you will always end up disappointed. And to your line about stroe-bought hooters being proof that "god" loves us and wants us to be happy: "May your fountain be blessed, and may you rejoice in the wife of your youth. A loving doe, a graceful deer - may HER (emphasis mine) breasts satisfy you always, may you ever be captivated by her love." Proverbs 15: 18,19 God's (big 'g') plans are much bigger than ours, and His vision is much clearer. Asset, I wonder how those women will feel 20-30 years after.

And to your line about stroe-bought hooters being proof that “god” loves us and wants us to be happy: “May your fountain be blessed, and may you rejoice in the wife of your youth.

God’s (big ‘g’) plans are much bigger than ours, and His vision is much clearer.

I hope your wife appreciates you! I cringe when I hear of a celeb having cosmetic surgery. Such surgeries have their place, but I believe its major place should be to help people who have suffered disfigurement through injury, disease or birth defects. Celebrities already tend to be prettier than the average bear; why paint the lily? And you risk ending up looking like Michael Jackson in the end. Melissa--you are right, humans are vain, so there will be an upturn as soon as the next "revolutionary" procedure is discovered. John, you are a treasure. I hope your wife appreciates you!

While they are free to make the choice, it is sad that they feel compelled to so drastically alter their bodies. Until they are happy with themselves on the inside, no woman (or man) will be truly happy just because of changes on the outside. I am very happy with my wife's 34B's. If they grew naturally to C's, I would gladly embrace the change (so to speak!). But I would never ask her or even suggest that she change them to satisfy me or anyone else. On top of that she is a runner, and is quite content to not get black eyes when running!
