I recently watched a movie on Netflix, a late 70's thriller - The Eyes of Laura Mars. The plot revolves around a fashion/art photographer. There are many topless models lounging about and I was struck by all the real breasts. Big ones and small ones, all beautiful in their own way. Actual breasts instead of un-natural, overly round bags of silicon. Actual lips instead of puffy trout pouts. Actual hips and bellies never touched by a liposuction wand. Actual yellowed teeth instead of bleached white perfection. It got me thinking how if that same movie was being made today I doubt that I would have seen even a single pair of real breasts or lips or hips. Cosmetic procedures are warping our sense of what is normal.
I watched that too and have been watching a lot of 70's movies.
I also notice that guys don't think good plastic surgery is plastic surgery.
If you have a good bit of boob meat, are an avg weight (or higher) and go under the pectoral tissues against the rib cage its pretty impossible to tell anything without touching.
I think people do get overdone and it looks bad. That blonde from the hills show looks bad to me now since she had her boobs made vegas huge. Really big fake ones are bad always looking unless you are Dolly P and thats your thing. The fakes just don't lay on the chest right. All the fatty surrounding tissue is not there and its strange looking to me. They lack the natural hip roundness too that comes with a natural busty shape. The butt shape does not match at all. Even skinny naturals bigguns have this roundness to the butt.

Except that women who get implants almost always get them much bigger than their frames could ever naturally support. I see women built like Kate Moss sporting DDD cups. Even if the shape of the completed breast is relatively natural you can still tell it's not right - as you said the rest of the body doesn't match.
What I find disturbing is the idea that seems to have become accepted in our culture, that attractive women should have giant boobs all out of proportion to their tiny frames, like cartoon characters. I do understand the urge for body modification and it is ultimately up to the individual, but it just seems to have become so widespread that I was actually surprised to see real bodies! I had forgotten what they looked like because I have become so used to seeing actresses that have more in common with Edward Scissorhands than real women.
There is no "self" when it comes to our appearance. Every single one of us is influenced by societal norms. "I did it for me" is one of the biggest pieces of bull**** to come out of anyone's mouth with regard to plastic surgery. If you truly didn't care what ANYONE else thought about your appearance, you'd never put on make up, style your hair, shave your legs and/or pits, buy new clothes, get a manicure, tweeze your eyebrows, color your hair, put on jewelry, etc. ... Everything we think we do for ourselves is a thought put into our heads because someone else does it or a marketeer got us to THINK someone else does it. The smart ones realize this and make conscious decisions about which of society's norms they want to follow, based on their own value systems. The not-so-smart ones think they're doing it for themselves.
Absolutly, positively agree with you 100%. So glad to hear somebody else saying what I've thought every time I hear "I do it for me."
I'm not a fan of plastic surgery at all. Unless it was absolutely necessary like after a bad accident to repair some facial features, just as an example. That's probably a different category though!
