Scary: thousands of teenagers are getting breast implants.
A 17-year-old who saw Dr. Edward Melmed before graduation “thought it would be a fun thing to do,” said the Dallas plastic surgeon, who removes implants and testified before the Food and Drug Administration’s advisory panel in October. “They regard it as having your hair done or getting a new watch. She had no concept that this was a serious operation.”
Scarier: a doctor in Germany is offering a subcutaneous titanium mesh bra that attaches to a woman’s ribs and muscles.
The effect is claimed to be instant, youthful-looking boobs with invisible lift. […] “The advantage is that a woman with these implants will never have to wear a bra again,” says Saylan.
But have fun getting through airport security with it.
Hey, that's my frickin' home town, buddy! Yeah, Dallas is about as pathetic, image-oriented and venal as a Bible-belt buckle town can be. Amen.
