Well, since I have been with my husband. I have gone from a C cup to a P cup (American sizes) naturally and the resulting chronic back pain says: no one needs implants. Just a partner who makes you feel good about the body that you have. (And by god is it hard to get health insurance to cover breast reduction surgery)
I'm sorry for your gain, as a C myself I can't empathize but I can sympathize. Even swelling a few cup sizes during lactation was uncomfortable. What situation took you to P, if you're willing to share?
(And it's a crime about the insurance, that's definitely a health issue.)
Cup size is irrelevant without band size. I'm making the assumption that you've grown a lot but I could also assume you were wearing something like a 48C and went down to a 30P after finding a correctly fitting bra.
Edit: ignore me idk how to reply to people apparently 🤣
Well, my husband warned me that all of his former girlfriends all went up a couple sizes while he was with them and that the same thing might happen to me.
Turns out being married to him for nearly 2 decades, resulted in far more than that...
About 92lbs of weight and believe me when I say; appointments with my doctor are every month and physical therapy are weekly appointments for me. And my insurance has rejected the medically necessary breast reduction over 200 times.
Not trying to be a smartarse here but what on Earth is a P-cup!? The largest I've ever heard of is an I-cup; in my imagination a P-cup engulfs the planet. How do you live???
Honestly cup sizes after F lose all meaning because no two manufacturers will be the same size and after N, everything is custom and cost hundreds of dollars (or more).
It is like walking around with a middle school student strapped to your chest. And it just sucks.
It's crazy they won't cover that. My girlfriend flew herself and a friend to Turkey a few years ago and paid for hotel stays and it still ended up being cheaper to have her reduction done there than it would have been for her to do it state-side
My aunt did that with laser eye surgery. It was cheaper for her to get a passport and go to Canada for a week for it than it was to get it in the States.
Lol. Often when I'm snuggling my partner I don't just rest my arm on her chest, I pull downward so the boobage is off the neck and she always thanks me 😅
The Mayo Clinic doesn’t mention ruptures necessarily being fatal, and seem to imply that it’s quite survivable until being able to be seen by a doctor.
So if one is desperate, while it may not be the optimal choice, survival seems probable, though not necessarily guaranteed.
While I am a body-positive feminist and think everybody should love the body that they have, I think regulating giant boobs would be a mistake. First of all, it would turn women's bodies into a legislative battleground, which I don't think women need more of in our overly-politicized environment. Secondly, there are many horny men who love to masturbate to giant tits, and banning them would drive them into the arms of the right--now is clearly not the time for that. Third, huge knockers create much-needed jobs in the medical industry. Do we really want to take away jobs from doctors and nurses? Fourth, with the declining economy, sex work--whether OnlyFans or direct services--are becoming necessary outlets for many women, are we going to deny them a definite boost to their income? They could also likely apply for handicap plates with these gargantuan breasts, which would save them time getting to their johns from the parking lot. Finally, and most importantly, banning enormous jalopies would just make the left seem more radical, more extreme, and just downright unreasonable, which would hurt other parts of our agenda such as Medicare for All, guaranteed childcare, and subsidizing housing (all of which I also oppose).
a guy I know shared an anecdote recently of a customer yelling at them because military vehicles were out of commission due to them not having the part in stock. there is no other supplier for this part, and they are generally made to order with a lead time of months.
in that case, the company makes parts used in all sorts of machines all over the world, and the engineers aren't the ones selling the parts to militaries killing children. the specific part, however, was for a military vehicle. and somewhere in that chain, an engineer said yeah this is fine. multiple of them. along with many other people who thought it was fine to make and sell this product. and even though the guy I know held the personal opinion that it's a good thing those vehicles were out of commission and unable to help kill children, he didn't shut down the sale.
Using the advanced method of guesstimating, let's assume the radius of each of the silicone spheres to be at least 20 cm. Applying V=(4/3) x pi r^3 we get a volume of 33510 cc.
You'd need a radius of 10 cm to get down to 4000 cc. This corresponds to 20 cm diameter, or rather, the length of a human hand
Well when it comes to engine displacement, you're just talking about cylinder crosscut area times piston movement (so not even the entirety of the cylinder volume, just how much air the pistons displace). That 4.0 inline 6 is a big ol' lump, but are the cylinders really that big if you think about it? Much of it is the crankcase, head, the block around the cylinders themselves, etc.
That’s like carrying a big toddler around everywhere. Then sleeping with one on your chest. More reasonably they’re going to end up on your side(s), but turning over in the night could legitimately twinge your back.
FWIW, we did make polypropelene ("silly-string") implants illegal. They were pulled off the market by the FDA. So there's kind of an upper-limit established.
Polypropylene implants absorb water very slowly, about <0.01% in 24 hours.[2] The polypropylene, which is yarn-like, causes irritation to the implant pocket which causes the production of serum which fills the implant pocket on a continual basis.[citation needed] This causes continuous expansion of the breast after surgery. Growth can only be alleviated by removal of serum by syringe. Problems can also arise if the breasts enlarge at different rates. This can be corrected by removal of serum or introduction of sterile saline. Continual breast growth will eventually result in "extreme, almost cartoonish breast sizes."[3]
I don't know much about implants or what they use exactly, but assuming they're liquid silicon with a density of 2.57g/cm^3^, then 4000cc would weigh 10,280g (22.67lbs). If those are EACH, then you're looking at nearly 50 pounds strapped to your chest with minimal support. Your poor back.
Solving for r where the volume is 4000 cm^3 makes for a 9.8 cm radius, or a 19.6 cm (7.7 inch) diameter. Comparable to a child size 3 soccer ball.
Obviously taking a soft sphere and letting it flatten on a surface against its own weight makes for a non-spherical shape, but this picture looks way bigger than a kid's soccer ball.
No, at least not in the U.S. - you need to be a licensed physician.
Could you imagine being able to buy medical grade breast implants? The amount of people who would die in back alley breast augmentations would be insane.
Most companies will refrain from producing something, but as long as there is 1 surgeon who does not feel the moral obligation to say no, they will make implants this big. Simple supply and demand. Perhaps aside from the surgeons, we should also question the implant companies if what they're doing is morally right.
Man I know of one minor celeb who want for very large breast implants (and has talked openly about her views on it very cogently) and so naively I thought "feh, people go for big titties, so what" but I checked and her implants - which look massive - are "only" 1250cc, so yeah these are mental.
I think there must be a proportion of people looking at this kind of extreme modification who have a mental illness and need help. I don't know what that proportion is, and the way that person talks about her decision convinces me completely that for her it's a niche interest like getting loads of tattoos, but... 4000cc...
I view this about the same as eyeball tattoos, ouch. Good luck have fun but I cringe a bit just looking at them. Still, kinda cool in a body horror sorta way.
look, if a woman wants to have ginormous humongous knockers, and she's willing to accept the consequences to her back for having them, then by god she should be allowed!
