发帖数: 7881 | 1 Pretty, skinny and 5-foot-8, Danielle is a 31-year-old actress who performs
stand-up comedy, appears in TV commercials, enjoys the company of a loving
man and lives on Manhattan’s Upper East Side.
Yet something has been missing from her charmed life.
Actually, two things.
“I always wanted breasts,’’ she told me.
“If I were a man, I would be obsessed with breasts,’’ said Danielle, who
asked me not to reveal her full name or show her face out of fear that a
disclosure about her physical shortcomings might harm her career.
But she shows off her body with a zeal normally displayed by pin-up girls
and porn stars.
Last month, Danielle visited the Park Avenue office of plastic surgeon Dr.
Scott Newman. A few hours and just over $10,000 later, her wish came true.
After receiving silicone implants, Danielle’s breasts grew from a delicate
32B bra size to a voluptuous 32D.
“I’m so happy now. It’s amazing!’’ said Danielle, whose relationship
with a 29-year-old comedian is growing serious. She thanks her new additions.
“They changed me.’’

What in the name of self-imposed mutilation is going on?
Call them knockers, jugs or twin peaks, these common appendages serve no
practical function, except to feed infants. But breasts are daydreamed over,
mainly by dames. Girls tormented Danielle in summer camp, calling her “
flat-chested.’’ Guys who saw her without her pushup bra, Danielle feared,
were disappointed.
Today, finance companies give loans for new, improved orbs, or folks can pay
off the treasured possessions through layaway plans.
Gemini Smith, a 23-year-old British woman, told the Daily Mail newspaper
that she raised $7,440 last year to transform her 34As into 34DDs through
the crowd-sourcing Web site MyFreeImplants.com. She chatted online with
dozens of strange men and even women every week for about four months. Each
“benefactor’’ contributed a dollar to her boob job.
She said the new pair increased her confidence, and she’s won new friends.
Admirers of the female form went into panic mode earlier this month when
curvy actress and Sports Illustrated magazine cover model Kate Upton seemed
to confess that she hated her two most celebrated assets.
“I wish I had smaller boobs every day of my life, as I love to wear
spaghetti tops braless or go for the smallest bikini designs,” Upton, 21,
was quoted as saying about her 34Ds in the British newspaper The Sun on
Sunday.
But the mammary-loving public breathed a collective sigh of relief when, a
few days later, Upton said on an Australian radio show that she had been
misquoted.
A great many people don’t love the bodies God gave them.
Last year in the United States, 290,224 people, most of them women,
underwent breast augmentations, the most popular cosmetic procedures
performed by members of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons.
A portion of these surgeries were to reconstruct breasts after mastectomies.
But each year, the number of breasts installed purely for reasons of vanity
grows.
“I call it pseudo-happiness. If you think you’re happy, you’re happy,’’
said Manhattan psychotherapist Dr. Bonnie Eaker Weil, the author of “Make
Up, Don’t Break Up.’’

about her breasts.

Danielle told me Dr. Weil treats her for issues unrelated to her chest —
she’s had trouble getting close to people since her father died when she
was young.
“I think we’re sick and tired of equality,’’ said Dr. Weil. “Now women
want to be women and men want women to look like women.’’
Dr. Newman, 53, operates on 300 to 350 pairs of breasts a year, lifting,
enlarging and sometimes reducing their sizes. He won’t give boobs to just
anyone.
“Some want to save their marriages,’’ said Dr. Newman, who is chief of
the plastic-surgery division at St. John’s Riverside Hospital in
Westchester County and who operates the Web site -psurgery.com. “I’m not a
psychologist with a knife.’’
He also repairs botched operations performed in places like the Dominican
Republic and Brazil, where some patients travel to save money.
Danielle insists she’s always loved her natural shape. “If there’s one
thing I could do for my body, this is it.’’
Mazel tov, Danielle! I wish you many years of joy with your rack. |
