Butt implants

Butt implants For the woman who asks "do these jeans make my ass look skinny?" As disconcerting as retouching in silicon can be, retouching with silicone is moreso. Or if you're nostalgic for old-fashioned airbrushing, but want something more direct, you can just airbrush yourself.

eek, that's so gross. The postop photos look worse in most cases.

Why is this all done in the Carribean? To skirt strict US malpractice laws?

I want some jowl implants to increase my gravitas.

Why would you post pictures of your work when your work replaces natural lines (or bulges, in some of these cases) with scarred lines left by your scalpel? Damn.

What we need here is butt transplants. I'll donate some of my butt to a desperate derriere, and we can just trade jeans after.

Speaking for babes with back everywhere, anyone who willingly subjects themselves to never being able to fit into 99% of the jeans sold in the Western world should be, quite bluntly, shot.

On preview, what swerve said.

Have you seen some of the horrendous breast implant jobs? I'll never understand why a woman would want to go from natural breasts to implants, the vast majority of implants are not nice to look at. And if you lay back and your boobs stay completely upright? Even if they look realistic, they know they're fake.

As for these butts? Damn, those are some big fake asses. And the majority are not attractive at all. I wonder how it feels to sit on something like that?

What school must I attend to learn how to perform this procedure?

Beverly Hills Upstairs Medical College, of course.

Then everyone will say "Hi, Dr. Vito90!"

I think, aesthetics aside, this is the real question.

Aesthetics are the real issue, because we know that it's not done for comfort. Why, unless you lost your ass in a war, would you want to augment it?

At what point do you say "I look pretty good, except that people don't laugh in disbelief at my butt. I would really fell better if there were some foreign objects stuffed in there?" I had a high school teacher who had very average dimensions except for a butt the size of the Azores. It didn't make her hot.

Curiously that looks as if someone reversed the before and after photos from any weight loss ad in the back of Cosmo.

Mayor Curley, you misunderstand me. What I mean is: I wonder if these implants are uncomfortable once you're resting your weight on them? I don't know if these arses look better before or after the operation, but such a question seems pretty much irrellevant if they're not nice to sit on.

There's still more work to be done. (Definitely Not Safe for Work)

oh, xquzyphyr, you're so poorly read. that's a clear reference to sassoon's autobiography, where he describes coming under bombardment, with a new conscript at his side - face buried in the ground, the newbie has both lost his helmet and shat himself; sassoon places the helmet on his (now somewhat stinky, although sassoon doesn't use that particular adjective) behind, to protect it, all the while suspecting that the conscript believes he being mocked. sassoon's later discussions, in the "nursing home" (craiglockhart), with the famous plastic surgeon w h r rivers, are recounted by pat barker in the first volume of the posterior regeneration triology.

Having felt silicone badness before, i would say it probably feels like they're sitting on the world's largest boil.
