They feel...odd.

I had a pt today who was worried about a breast mass. She was only 29, so I wasn't particularly worried. She got undressed, I started the typical breast exam…and then…..

Me: "implants?"

Her: yeah, I went up three sizes.

Breast implants are the ODDEST feeling things. They didn't move with her body….and they just sorta stuck out there. I had her do the hands on hips thing and twisting torso thing to see if there was any skin dimpling, and her boobs didn't twist with her. Oh, and I couldn't feel a damn thing through those implants. She could have had a rock hard mass and I would have missed it.

Not that I'm against boob implants and all that, but I really think women should think twice before getting them. There's always the Brava system….

Wait, we can grow titties? F'reals? What the hell is this Brava system?

(I still think of that cadaver with implants and what they looked like removed: Crusty, crusty bags. Ew.)

Seriously? I never heard of the Brava system. I'm not sure I trust their clinical trials of an average growth of 104 cc's. So I can grow me some boobage?
