Why buy boobs?

There are probably as many reasons to get breast augmentation/implants as people getting the surgery.  I find it interesting that American society seems fascinated by pointing implants out and making it appear as an almost taboo body modification.  Odd as it is one of the most common plastic surgeries performed.  Just browse at the covers of the tabloid magazines or perform a google search and all sorts of info on celebrity boob jobs and  bra sizes become available.  This shows the importance placed on the mammary glands of women.

Body modification is common and for breast surgery there are many reasons to undergo the surgery. A primary reason is reconstruction from breast surgery to rebuild the breast.  This is a reason that NOBODY finds flaws with (I hope).  Other reasons can be to improve the look and appearance to a preferred shape and size.  Causes for poor and/or unwanted breast shape and size can range from asymmetry (or lopsided uneven breasts) , bad proportion (too small for frame), deformities, pregnancy and nursing, time and gravitational forces.  In reality ALL of these reasons are just. (Along with a bunch more than escape me at this second.)  Outside of deformities society tends to attach a stigma of vanity and a desire to sexually impress to boob jobs.  I think this is WRONG.

I believe the biggest motivating factor that includes many reasons for surgery is that of self esteem and body image.  This image is not to be considered one of shallow vanity or not accepting who and what you are.  It is not an attack on women's lib or feeding into male desires and stereotypes.  Stereotypes do play a role, but they are not simply those of what men find sexy.  Women tend to be harsher critics of themselves and other women than any man is.  

The reason to buy boobs is personal and should be respected.  If you are a woman you probably buy various types of bras and undergarments to flatter your figure and the clothes you are wearing.  This is no different.  It is a type of body modification, but temporary.  Not everyone wants permanent, but do not judge another persons choice. If you are male, do not assume the breasts are for your benefit.  Feel free to be impressed, but they are for the owner...you are just a bonus.
