See if you didn't always have your nose stuffed into BoobWatch, you might get educated. No, they didn't mention the companies, but did call the product by its name Trilucent, so we know who makes it. It was definitely a mixed view piece on breast implants in general with both: women drooling over having big boobs, and doctors who love to feel them up and take their money giving them to them, and lots of glamorous shots of big boobed movie stars who are alleged to have gotten implants and been successful with (because?) of them. And a doctor who makes her bucks rescuing women with big defective, infected, hardened and fibrously encapsulated boobs - she was definitely negative on the VEGE-BOOB, with concerns about the long term stability of them, whether women will still get the fibrous encystment of them, and concern about whether the soybean oil will get rancid after a few years. Including some really gross shots of completely fibrously encapsulated implants that had been removed from formerly large breasted women. She didn't think that a 6 month rabbit test for long term stability was adequate and said "I think all of the women in the Trilucent study are being used as guinea pigs". Of course anyone used in a clinical study IS a guinea pig, what else is new. First time I've heard concerns about the rancid oil issue though. Also, I would expect that some women will wall off the implants with fibrous encystment regardless of the filling, silicone or oil or saline, as the exterior bag is still silicone, and that seems to be what they are reacting to. They did have a full work up and surgery by Dr. Feel-em-Good, who helped her pick out the correct size, with lots of touching and squeezing of course, and then during and after the surgery had to do the testing of placement of the implants, etc. Now of course, since this was on network TV, they had to blur the actual boob shots so that it looked like a poor quality Playboy airbrush version of a breast and not the closeup quality of a Penthouse or Hustler picture. Didn't want to shock us with a picture of what a boob really looks like just in case we've never seen one. Personally, the guy reminded me of a huckster selling ripe melons. He just liked his work TOO MUCH to seem to be objective. He seemed too effusive about big boobs for me. Me thinks the problem is in their heads and not on their chests. Dr. Feel-em-Good also commented that no women ever complained about the implants being too big, and most say they that they should have gotten even bigger ones. He reminded me of jocks in a high school lockerroom discussing the endowments of the senior class. Myself, I like em natural. Women who are so hung up on boob size are just too hung up in general for me. I'm a take what you have and be happy with it type. People who go for this crap are never happy no matter what, and after the boobs, it's still just something else that they need to be unhappy and feeling inadequate about. But ya know, this is what CGEN seems to be about, big lips, wrinkle hiding and big boobs now. Glad I sold this stock before they took that devaluation that the falling of BSX wrought. The narrator did comment that the clinicals in the US will probably take years yet. They also didn't mention at all that they are currently available in Europe for the jet-setting boob enhancement types.
Feeling adequately endowed,

I'm tempted to put up a link to a picture of what must be these womens ideal, some boobs literally the size of watermelons, I mean they are bigger than your head, absolutely huge, if this lady bent over, she'd need a crane to stand upright again, gigundus globular chunks of flesh that puts a cow with a full udder load to shame. Myself, I think they look pretty damn gross. But, it's not worth tempting the wrath of the webmistress, I like being on SI too much to risk posting it. |
