Since this is the only other comment about their volume I’m putting this here. Every time I see this image posted, I have to point out there is 0 chance those are 4000 cm³. Those are like, 4x or 5x the size of a 4 L (1 gallon for you americans) milk jug, which actually are ~4000 ml.
My god dude i don’t know where it came from but i had a very strong urge to yell nerd and take your lunch money.
Photo of the patient’s physician consultation.
somewhere before 4000cc. carrying that around on your chest looks like it would cause some serious damage to your body.
Well, 4 litres of water weigh 4kg of course, I’m guessing silicon must be slightly heavier, so that’s 8kg+ of weight on top your spine…
my arse at first read it as 4000bc
That’s actually a good question. I assume that plastic surgeons take one of the modern versions of the Hippocratic Oath.
At what point do large breast implants constitute harm to the patient, and a violation of the oath?
Like waaaaaaaay before this.
But, $$$$$$$, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
If only doctors were actually punished for breaking it. Especially if you consider sexist/body shaming assholes that constantly tell fat women (and often even guys) their problems are because they’re fat.
A lot of problems are because of obesity though, it impacts everything :(
Yeah, but there’s a difference between someone who is severely overweight due to poor diet and lack of physical activity, and someone who just has a slower metabolism and leads a healthy lifestyle. Doctors often don’t make that distinction, which leads to fatter people having consistently worse health outcomes, even when controlling for the increased health risks of being overweight.
In lots of cases, they’ll just tell the patient to lose weight even if they aren’t actually unhealthy in a weight-related way, which is useless if you happen to be fat and have literally any health problems besides being fat (to the extent that that is a health problem, which varies from individual to individual).
That’s awful. So much discrimination in medicine.
Ideal doc: “Look, your obesity is impacting your other health issues. Let’s treat them but dropping a few pounds would help too. Here are some resources to help you eat better and get some more exercise.”
Real doc: “You’re fat, that’s why you’re sick. Lose weight and you won’t be sick. No, I won’t prescribe anything.”
dehumanizing obese people for correlating issues isnt a good thing
Agreed. I actually have a related story. I have a bunch of hormone issues so I used to be fat. I couldn’t have a baby and went to the doctor, the lady was very rude and it was clear she found me repulsive. She dismissed me and told me to lose weight and I’ll have a baby. She didn’t explain why. I was so outraged that I avoided doctors for years and stopped trying to find out why I couldn’t have a child. The thing is she was right, it was PCOS and I had a child when I lost the weight. If she hadn’t been so rude and dismissive, if she had mentioned PCOS at all, I wouldn’t have had my son in my late 30s, he was born with a more debilitating autism than me as a result. It’s definitely important to tell patients the truth even if it’s hard, but it’s just as important to come at it from a place of compassion and not blame.
The thing is she was right
Yeah, by accident. If she genuinely just assumed the problem was because you were fat and didn’t actually investigate other potential problems, it was a lucky guess. You do not need to give her credit for that, she’s still a shit doctor.
You’re right
For those unaware (like me), PCOS = Polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome.
And yeah, agree, a place of compassion helps a lot! I myself eventually also want a baby but the problem is that as far as I recall, there have been only one uterus transplant for people like me, but hundreds for other gals. Can’t wait to get one once I’m ready to be a parent…
Yes sorry I should have explained. Good luck, I bet you’ll be an amazing parent.
If someone with, say, a heart condition is overweight, explaining why that’s a problem isn’t sexist or body shaming. It’s a widely accepted medical fact. I’m against punishing doctors simply for telling people things they don’t want to hear.
yea clearly thats what the commenter said /s
For further information
at this point, they’re big, they’re shiny, they’re round. just clip them on outside the body.
Ow, my back.
“You’re cut off” -boobtender
Would someone not need like skin grafts or something to actually fit them? Like just the surface area seems really wild to cover with the existing skin of even a larger chest.
They work up to it. Put in big ones, normalize, put in bigger ones… it takes a long time to get to something like what’s pictured unless they’re already stacked and drooping to their navel.
Source: I vaguely remember a documentary on that one lady that has implants seriously almost as big as the ones pictured.
As far as I know, skin stretches. It has a harder time shrinking though so once you get those 4l boobs, you’ll never want to remove them.
No doubt about tit, they’re not just good, they’re the breast in Texas.
Um, actually, breast implants are gender-affirming care. Delete this transphobic trash, you hateful MONSTER!
There is a HUGE difference between implants for gender affirming care and whatever the hell those things are.
I’m not sure the original poster is being sarcastic or not. But I am a simple gal. I see big boobs I upvote.
I’m pretty sure the person you’re responding to is being sarcastic, themself.
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
