Anyone know how doctors treat a broken implant? Do they have to operate? Is there a way to remove the implant goo from the body once the casing is broken?

As a person who has implants and loves them, I get really sick of women who call me an idiot or look down on me for it. It's my body and I made a decision that I am happy about. It's funny to me that implants always bring out the vitriol more than all the other things women do to themselves.

I am an asshole. I have no sympathy for this girl or her type. If you want to get surgery to look more appealing to men so you can go on a reality show for your fifteen minutes of fame, you pretty much deserve whatever comes your way.

I may be in the minority here but I think that going on reality shows is just as idiotic as getting implants. It's all just stupid. America has serious problems.

Ok I'm full of vitriol today.

@Stephanie wishes to kill Tucker Max: Just to be clear, I think The Real World is just about the only American reality tv show that isn't a rip-off of some other country's reality tv show (usually the UK). I'm with you on hating them all, though.

@Stephanie wishes to kill Tucker Max: no--you're right. both are idiotic. and now these shows have to think twice before employing people with fake parts, lest they get sued for "injuries" sustained by possession of said fake parts. "muscle damage, nerve damage..." blah blah. i can't be too sympathetic about this. joining you in the vitriol. does it come in a 300mg tab?

@if_i_only_had_a_heart: Word. I get that it's looked at as no big deal, but I consider it such a huge deal, and considering the care you have to take post-surgery, it's life-altering in more ways than one.

@Flackette Goes Retro: I thought it was the implant, but on rewatching I think it's a water bottle. It just reminded me of the scene from the "Unpretty" video where the girl goes to get some implants put in and sees another girl getting hers taken out and hauls ass out of there.

did she definitively bust the implant?

Maybe I'm being an old fart again, but it seems like so many women on these reality shows have had implants. It sends a terrible message to young girls that somehow implants are the norm when they aren't and shouldn't be. Why can't we send a message that women's bodies are beautiful and appealing regardless of natural breast size rather than sending the message that bags of silicone are mandatory equipment to be considered attractive?

@rainbrain: No, you're not being an old fart. Personally, my hope is that young girls (or anyone, really) are able to see that the majority of reality show participants aren't the norm. At all. Not just their appearances, but their behavior as well.

@rainbrain: I agree with you but because I have naturally large breasts nobody will listen to my opinion because since I am "naturally blessed" with back problems and a general inability to find pretty, affordable clothing, I should just shut up and let people stuff things into themselves so they can have the same problems. Except the spinal issues.

@the_fraulein: I BELIEVE YOU. My sister was "blessed" with a larger-than-average chest (she's somewhere between a D and F, if I remember what she said correctly), while I am over here at A. And seeing all the trouble that they cause her... ugh. I never wanted bigger boobs anyway (I have some gender issues, what a shock), but man. I wish people could just spend a while with her and see how inconvenient they are, and how people like to think they make you a "slut" or "easy" or something.

Also, motorboating boob jokes are not funny.

busting an implant is pretty scary. funnier still is how all it took was one possibly busted implant to let the audience know who else might have fake boobs (cough! kellianne! cough!)

"Just say you're going home, you have a bruise on your boob, sorry."

Um, didn't she tear tissue and muscles? That hurts like someone is slicing you with a knife every time you move. That is slightly more than a bruise.

I believe women should be able to choose what they do to their bodies, but I wonder... to what extent do surgeons emphasize the risks involved with breast implants as well as the need for them to be replaced every so many years? That's the stuff they never show on Dr. 90210.

@thePrototype: Judging from the kind of shit you see all the time, bad, horrible, asshole doctors are not at all rare in the plastic surgery field. Otherwise a LOT of people would not go ahead with this shit, if they knew the real dangers. Also, modern silicone implants may or may not burst, but they are still in a toxic silicone casing, which means they release toxic shit in small doses into your body all the time, non? Still not worth it.

As a way to correct my speech growing up, my dad would said, "Girls are busted, things are broken." I guess the usage is pretty appropriate here.
