WEBVTT - SYSK Selects: How Breast Implants Work 0:00:00.560 --> 0:00:03.840 Hey there, it's your old pal Josh. This week's curator 0:00:04.000 --> 0:00:07.200 of s Y s K selects, and this week I've 0:00:07.240 --> 0:00:10.840 selected how breast implants Work. Uh. It's a pretty great 0:00:11.080 --> 0:00:17.119 vintage episode. Has it all science, pop culture, history, surgery, 0:00:17.560 --> 0:00:20.800 all sorts of weird stuff. And this episode is the 0:00:20.840 --> 0:00:23.960 origin of when I realized that Chuck says the word 0:00:24.000 --> 0:00:29.040 tattoo really oddly. So enjoy it. Take care to two. 0:00:31.120 --> 0:00:41.240 Welcome to Stuff you Should Know Reroomhouse Stuff Works dot Com. Hey, 0:00:41.280 --> 0:00:43.800 and welcome to the podcast. I'm Josh Clark, and there's 0:00:43.880 --> 0:00:47.080 Charles W Chuck Bryant, and Jerry's over there. So you 0:00:47.200 --> 0:00:55.240 got the three MUCHA shows together was well, Chaos and Muchacha. 0:00:56.200 --> 0:01:01.800 Is that right? Is Muchacha a girl? It makes sense 0:01:01.800 --> 0:01:05.120 to be probably that's generally how worths right, Yeah, but 0:01:05.160 --> 0:01:06.720 I also may have just made up a word in 0:01:06.760 --> 0:01:15.120 Spanish that it could be a snack food. Anyway, this 0:01:15.240 --> 0:01:17.360 is stuff you should know, and we want to extend 0:01:17.560 --> 0:01:21.240 a extra hearty welcome to all the additional twelve year 0:01:21.280 --> 0:01:23.600 old boys who are listening to this one. We want 0:01:23.640 --> 0:01:26.560 to apologize in advance for disappointing you, because you're going 0:01:26.600 --> 0:01:30.240 to be sorely disappointed, and I would like to insert 0:01:30.240 --> 0:01:34.759 a quick c a okay for myself. Um, we're gonna 0:01:34.760 --> 0:01:37.080 be talking about breast implants, and I'm gonna try not 0:01:38.360 --> 0:01:42.240 pepper the show with my own opinions because we have 0:01:42.400 --> 0:01:46.040 the to each his own decree here, And I'm just 0:01:46.040 --> 0:01:48.120 gonna go ahead and say out front, I'm not into it. 0:01:48.200 --> 0:01:50.880 I wish people would just learn to love themselves. But 0:01:50.960 --> 0:01:54.360 I get it, And if someone feels better to do 0:01:54.480 --> 0:02:00.000 something like this, then then that's fine. No judgment here. Yeah, Um, 0:02:00.000 --> 0:02:02.040 who are we to judge? Yeah, it's gonna be tough 0:02:02.040 --> 0:02:05.880 in the parts about like the string Uh what was 0:02:05.920 --> 0:02:09.240 that one called the string implant? It's dead and gone, yeah, 0:02:09.280 --> 0:02:12.280 but still we got to cover it. Well, you might 0:02:12.320 --> 0:02:18.760 hear some derision in my voice, a little like, but again, 0:02:18.800 --> 0:02:21.880 if a string implant is what uh, those women wanted 0:02:21.919 --> 0:02:23.840 to feel better than, then you have to go to 0:02:23.880 --> 0:02:26.400 an underground doctor to get it. Now, Well you do now, Yeah, 0:02:26.480 --> 0:02:28.120 And of course we're gonna you know, it's not just 0:02:28.240 --> 0:02:32.760 like just augmentation, like you know, mastectomes and men can 0:02:32.800 --> 0:02:35.440 get breast in plants. So we're gonna cover the whole gamut. Yeah, 0:02:35.639 --> 0:02:38.640 you're given a lot away here. People know the whole 0:02:38.960 --> 0:02:41.560 the whole farm. People know. People are gonna they're not 0:02:41.600 --> 0:02:43.240 gonna want to buy the cow because you just gave 0:02:43.320 --> 0:02:45.880 them all the milk. Hey, this, this milk and the 0:02:45.919 --> 0:02:49.919 cow are both free anyway, so let's do it. That's 0:02:49.960 --> 0:02:53.320 my little c o A. That was good chick. Thanks. Um. 0:02:53.440 --> 0:02:56.200 We are talking breast implants, and we are going to 0:02:56.680 --> 0:03:00.000 explain everything there is to know about breast plants. Breast 0:03:00.040 --> 0:03:04.760 same plants, not breast plants. That's a it's a subtropical 0:03:04.919 --> 0:03:09.480 species of carnivorous plant um that looks like a breast. 0:03:10.000 --> 0:03:14.239 Oh is that where it gets his name? Um? Anyway, 0:03:14.600 --> 0:03:18.360 I want to have I have a little intro. So, um, 0:03:18.720 --> 0:03:21.760 have you ever heard that in France the perfect breast 0:03:22.120 --> 0:03:26.760 fits into champagne glass? I have not heard that. So 0:03:26.880 --> 0:03:29.120 you told me this and I was like, what are 0:03:29.160 --> 0:03:31.800 you talking about? I thought that at first two And 0:03:31.840 --> 0:03:34.840 she's like, no, we're not a flute, you dummy, a coupe. 0:03:35.280 --> 0:03:39.240 Because I was, I was saying that very odd of banana. 0:03:39.720 --> 0:03:41.800 It's a weird. Yes, it would be a little weird 0:03:41.920 --> 0:03:44.760 if that were the case, but as champagne coup. So 0:03:45.000 --> 0:03:46.640 she looked it up and was showing it to me. 0:03:46.680 --> 0:03:50.119 And while we were UM, while we were looking at that, 0:03:50.480 --> 0:03:54.160 we found another axiom that was possibly even more true 0:03:54.920 --> 0:03:59.480 that in America. Somebody commented underneath this, in America, the 0:04:00.000 --> 0:04:03.160 of a breast cloggs a toilet doesn't fit into a 0:04:03.240 --> 0:04:07.280 champagne coop. It cloggs a toilet. That's an axiom, it 0:04:07.400 --> 0:04:09.640 is according to this comment or who made it up. 0:04:09.760 --> 0:04:12.200 I did not know that. I I think the commenter 0:04:12.240 --> 0:04:14.720 made it up as a joke, okay, and it was 0:04:14.760 --> 0:04:16.839 a pretty funny joke if you ask me. I thought 0:04:16.839 --> 0:04:18.720 I was going to get a bigger response from you, 0:04:18.800 --> 0:04:23.159 but I'll live with what I got. Um. The point 0:04:23.279 --> 0:04:26.159 is is, if in America that is the standard breast 0:04:26.240 --> 0:04:28.640 so big that they clogged toilets, that's a pretty high 0:04:28.680 --> 0:04:33.360 bar to set, especially naturally, which is probably why some 0:04:33.400 --> 0:04:36.760 women turned to breast implants. Yeah, and speaking of America, 0:04:36.839 --> 0:04:39.200 it seems like a good place for that. Um. They 0:04:39.240 --> 0:04:42.360 topped the list in the number total number of breast 0:04:42.360 --> 0:04:46.200 implant operations. UM. But if you want to go per capita, 0:04:46.240 --> 0:04:50.800 there number five and the first four are Brazil, Greece, Italy, 0:04:50.839 --> 0:04:55.040 and Colombia. Per capita, which is to me, what matters 0:04:55.520 --> 0:04:59.039 per capita. Sure, obviously we have the most because we 0:04:59.120 --> 0:05:02.960 have more people, right than in those other countries. I 0:05:03.000 --> 0:05:06.240 am surprised that we're number five. I would think we'd 0:05:06.240 --> 0:05:08.919 be higher than that. You know, it's number ten per capita. 0:05:09.000 --> 0:05:13.159 Of course, what is that, right? Yeah, they're like comfortably 0:05:13.200 --> 0:05:16.039 in the middle. Although no, that's still pretty high towards 0:05:16.040 --> 0:05:18.160 the top. Although I guess it would be about in 0:05:18.200 --> 0:05:22.360 the middle if you just did industrialized countries. So anyway, 0:05:22.839 --> 0:05:25.200 there's my stat that's a great stat. I've got another 0:05:25.200 --> 0:05:28.760 one for you, Chuck Um. Breast implants was the number 0:05:28.760 --> 0:05:32.839 one elective surgery in two thousand twelve in the United States. 0:05:32.000 --> 0:05:36.080 In two thousand eleven it was LiPo, but breast implants 0:05:36.120 --> 0:05:40.159 breast augmentation. Um beat it out in two thousand twelve. 0:05:42.320 --> 0:05:44.560 I don't know how many, probably by a nose, because 0:05:44.560 --> 0:05:46.920 in two thousand eleven it was three hundred thousand and 0:05:47.000 --> 0:05:49.640 change LiPo sections, and in two thousand and twelve there 0:05:49.640 --> 0:05:52.520 are three hundred and thirty thousand, six hundred and eighty 0:05:52.560 --> 0:05:58.400 one breast augmentation surgeries. In two thousand twelve, according to 0:05:58.400 --> 0:06:00.640 the Wall Street Journal, you know that was a rhino 0:06:00.680 --> 0:06:03.840 plastic sat that would have been a great joke by 0:06:03.960 --> 0:06:07.280 knows By. You know, yeah, I bet that's on the 0:06:07.360 --> 0:06:10.040 top five. Oh, I guess so sure. In fact, I 0:06:10.120 --> 0:06:14.440 bet that's number three. There's several ways to find out, 0:06:14.920 --> 0:06:17.720 should we know, Man, this thing is all too a 0:06:17.800 --> 0:06:23.799 rocky start. I'm just guessing. Okay, So let's talk breast implants. 0:06:24.520 --> 0:06:27.279 For before we talked implants, Chuck, we should probably talk 0:06:27.360 --> 0:06:31.120 about well, you want to talk about the history of him. Yeah, 0:06:31.160 --> 0:06:34.560 that's a good place to start. So apparently a guy, 0:06:34.640 --> 0:06:37.800 a doctor named two doctors named Frank Garrow and Thomas 0:06:37.800 --> 0:06:41.880 cronin Um came up with the idea. And Garrel specifically 0:06:41.920 --> 0:06:45.280 squeezed a plastic blood bag one day and remarked how 0:06:45.320 --> 0:06:47.479 much it felt like a breast, right, and that was 0:06:49.760 --> 0:06:55.280 um circu Yeah, And so he had the That apparently 0:06:55.320 --> 0:06:57.400 was the quote unquote aha moment like, hey, we should 0:06:57.440 --> 0:06:59.800 do this. So they tried it out on a dog 0:07:00.120 --> 0:07:04.400 named Esmerelda and uh and not obviously, you know, they 0:07:04.400 --> 0:07:07.320 were just inserting it into a body. They weren't like, hey, 0:07:07.400 --> 0:07:11.239 let's give this dog boobs. You know, they have always 0:07:11.240 --> 0:07:13.120 wanted to see what boobs look like kind of dogs. 0:07:13.440 --> 0:07:15.760 So they wanted to just see if it worked, and 0:07:16.080 --> 0:07:18.880 it apparently it took enough to where they're like, hey, 0:07:18.920 --> 0:07:20.400 I think we can try this on a person. Yeah, 0:07:20.520 --> 0:07:22.920 Esmerelda chewed at our stitches, so they had to remove 0:07:22.920 --> 0:07:25.120 it after a couple of weeks. But I mean that 0:07:25.160 --> 0:07:28.920 they were they were. It was definitely an improvement on um, 0:07:29.080 --> 0:07:32.800 what had been an innovation among Japanese prostitutes during World 0:07:32.840 --> 0:07:37.520 War Two because American gis again boobs that calged a 0:07:37.600 --> 0:07:43.480 toilet um. They apparently the Japanese prostitute said, Hey, these 0:07:43.480 --> 0:07:46.280 guys like big boobs, let's give him big boobs. Let's 0:07:46.280 --> 0:07:50.280 steal some medical grade silicone from the docks of Yokohama. 0:07:50.520 --> 0:07:53.680 I thought it was sponges that that was something. They 0:07:53.720 --> 0:07:58.920 also they self injected silicone directly into their breasts, which 0:07:58.920 --> 0:08:02.200 apparently worked, but it also gave them things like gang 0:08:02.200 --> 0:08:05.120 Green thinks the silicone rot At the side of injection. 0:08:05.760 --> 0:08:09.160 There was a lot of hematomas, very bad news stuff, 0:08:10.080 --> 0:08:13.720 but there was a It showed this desire to increase 0:08:14.720 --> 0:08:20.200 breast size, and these guys in the early sixties came 0:08:20.200 --> 0:08:23.040 in to deliver that's right. Uh, and they did it 0:08:23.040 --> 0:08:24.480 in it's sort of a weird way. There was this 0:08:24.520 --> 0:08:28.800 woman named Timmy Jean Lindsay in nine two, a mother 0:08:28.880 --> 0:08:32.840 of six in Houston, Texas, and she had to too 0:08:33.640 --> 0:08:38.120 of a rose vine on her breasts that her boyfriend 0:08:38.280 --> 0:08:41.080 talked her into. Broke up with a boyfriend and was like, 0:08:41.120 --> 0:08:43.320 I kind of really don't want this anymore. Went in 0:08:43.360 --> 0:08:46.360 to get the two two removed and she had to 0:08:46.480 --> 0:08:50.720 change to wino forever exactly, And um, why are you 0:08:50.760 --> 0:08:56.640 saying to huh? I always said that it's tattoo to too. 0:08:56.840 --> 0:09:00.360 No not I mean no, okay I And if you 0:09:00.400 --> 0:09:02.320 say it like that again to each his own, if 0:09:02.360 --> 0:09:04.480 you want breast implants, fine, if you want to say 0:09:04.559 --> 0:09:07.080 to too, fine, But I couldn't just sit here and 0:09:07.120 --> 0:09:08.960 pretend like I didn't notice that you were saying too. 0:09:09.240 --> 0:09:11.440 I've said that plenty of times and be ignored me. 0:09:11.559 --> 0:09:15.520 So are you sure? Yeah? Alright, alright. So anyway, she 0:09:15.559 --> 0:09:19.240 went in to get the tattoo removed. No, no, go back, 0:09:19.320 --> 0:09:21.400 go back to to two. I feel too guilty when 0:09:21.440 --> 0:09:26.840 you say tattoo to get it removed and umo, and 0:09:26.880 --> 0:09:29.760 she said that, Um, they said, hey, we got this 0:09:29.840 --> 0:09:33.120 new thing called breast implants. Would you like to try it? 0:09:33.559 --> 0:09:36.400 And she said, well, my ears stick out too much. 0:09:36.400 --> 0:09:38.719 If you if you pin my ears back some, I'll 0:09:38.800 --> 0:09:40.920 let you use me as a guinea pig. Basically, she 0:09:41.120 --> 0:09:43.840 knows how to bargain. Yeah, and that's what happened. That's 0:09:43.920 --> 0:09:46.880 the first breast implants were sort of a bargain like that. 0:09:47.000 --> 0:09:49.400 She went from a bead cup to a seat cup. 0:09:50.720 --> 0:09:53.800 That is correct. And um, this is at a time 0:09:53.840 --> 0:09:58.320 when women wore pointy cone braws and stuff like that. 0:09:59.400 --> 0:10:02.600 It was there was a big emphasis on big boobs. 0:10:02.880 --> 0:10:05.480 Maryland was big. They had false ease, even like the 0:10:05.520 --> 0:10:08.199 padded braws. Yeah, so there was, I mean, this desire 0:10:08.240 --> 0:10:11.280 to increase your bus size and to do it permanently. 0:10:11.760 --> 0:10:13.720 It was there and it just kind of took off 0:10:13.760 --> 0:10:16.040 like a rocket ever since then, ever since that the 0:10:16.080 --> 0:10:18.920 first procedures. The problem is there were all sorts of 0:10:19.000 --> 0:10:23.240 lawsuits associated with it too, especially because they were using 0:10:23.280 --> 0:10:30.200 medical grade silicone. Uh that's derived from silicon, which is 0:10:30.400 --> 0:10:34.480 a mineral that apparently makes up about four of Earth's crust, 0:10:35.320 --> 0:10:39.439 mixed with oxygen to create silicone, which is was originally 0:10:39.440 --> 0:10:43.679 a trade name of this medical grade silicon gel um 0:10:43.720 --> 0:10:48.240 created by GE and the early implants would rupture, and 0:10:48.280 --> 0:10:51.480 there were a lot of lawsuits against some of the manufacturers, 0:10:51.520 --> 0:10:55.360 specifically DOAO, who shell out like three billion in UM 0:10:55.400 --> 0:10:58.840 in payouts in just like the course of a decade. Yeah, 0:10:59.040 --> 0:11:00.959 and well, so you might as well go ahead and 0:11:01.040 --> 0:11:05.600 let the cat out of the bag. They finally FDA said, 0:11:06.720 --> 0:11:09.920 actually they they put a voluntary moratorium. They were like 0:11:10.040 --> 0:11:12.760 basically asked, can you stop making them in doctors? Can 0:11:12.800 --> 0:11:15.960 you stop using them? Except in certain cases? Yeah, Like 0:11:16.320 --> 0:11:19.160 there was inconclusive studies. Basically they never found like hard 0:11:19.160 --> 0:11:22.880 proof that it could cause illness, but um, it was enough, 0:11:23.480 --> 0:11:26.240 I guess in conclusion to say maybe we shouldn't push 0:11:26.280 --> 0:11:28.640 on with us. Yeah, because the when the when the 0:11:28.679 --> 0:11:33.280 implant ruptures and it's silicone, the body absorbs the silicone, 0:11:33.400 --> 0:11:35.920 and they're like, just there, Well, what happens to the 0:11:35.920 --> 0:11:39.560 body after it absorbs the silicone will happen, right, So, 0:11:39.840 --> 0:11:42.920 since no one knew, they created that moratorium. In two 0:11:42.960 --> 0:11:46.160 thousand and six, the FDA finally said, there's no evidence 0:11:46.200 --> 0:11:50.160 that this is bad, so you can go back to silicone. 0:11:50.160 --> 0:11:53.720 And now silicone implants make up of the you can 0:11:53.800 --> 0:11:56.640 get them without any special cases. Now, even in two 0:11:56.640 --> 0:11:59.319 thousand six they lifted the moratorium. Got you because for 0:11:59.360 --> 0:12:01.520 a while it was just like, um, if you had 0:12:01.520 --> 0:12:05.360 a mastectomy or um, if you were willing to if 0:12:05.360 --> 0:12:08.480 you're willing to be part of a study going on 0:12:08.600 --> 0:12:12.280 five to ten years um. And the reason why silicone 0:12:12.360 --> 0:12:14.840 was so popular, and the reason actually they looked at 0:12:14.840 --> 0:12:17.079 the band ultimately, aside from the fact that they never 0:12:17.120 --> 0:12:22.079 found any, um, real provable medical problems from it, is 0:12:22.120 --> 0:12:26.280 that it's apparently far superior to the alternative, which is 0:12:26.320 --> 0:12:30.960 sailing filled bags. Yeah, they say, apparently the silicone feels better, 0:12:31.040 --> 0:12:34.240 looks better. It's just look, it's more natural looking. Apparently 0:12:34.679 --> 0:12:37.120 it moves. Oh my god, I can't believe I just 0:12:37.160 --> 0:12:40.600 did that. Uh, the in the sailing is just kind 0:12:40.640 --> 0:12:43.440 of like a water filled implant. Yeah. Should we tell 0:12:43.480 --> 0:12:49.440 everybody Josh just talking with his hands, that's all. Um. Yeah, 0:12:49.679 --> 0:12:52.880 so this is not a video podcast, So that's okay. Alright, 0:12:52.960 --> 0:12:54.559 So silic is back. I don't I don't think I 0:12:54.600 --> 0:12:58.839 knew that back in a big way. Se Man. That's 0:12:58.880 --> 0:13:01.320 a that's that's a significan again, amount of three hundred 0:13:01.280 --> 0:13:06.560 and thirty thousand. Um. So let's talk about before we 0:13:06.600 --> 0:13:09.800 get into like how breast implants work and how they're 0:13:09.800 --> 0:13:12.440 inserted and all that kind of stuff, let's talk about 0:13:12.440 --> 0:13:16.560 the breast itself. Um, the anatomy of the breast as 0:13:16.559 --> 0:13:21.400 it Well, apparently you can break a breast down into 0:13:21.440 --> 0:13:24.400 two different and by the way, only women have breasts. 0:13:24.840 --> 0:13:28.360 Men don't have breasts. Um, But you can break a 0:13:28.360 --> 0:13:33.439 breast down into two separate parts. There's the structural component 0:13:34.400 --> 0:13:37.480 and then there's the epithelial component. That's right, and that 0:13:37.520 --> 0:13:44.200 produces the milk. Uh. Structural component is um ligaments, fatty tissue. Um. 0:13:44.240 --> 0:13:47.160 There are there is muscle, but not actually as a 0:13:47.200 --> 0:13:50.319 part of the breast. It's behind the breast exactly. Yeah. 0:13:50.400 --> 0:13:52.560 And there's a there's a ligament that kind of works 0:13:52.600 --> 0:13:57.960 to to keep the breasts suspended supported called the Cooper's ligament. Yeah. 0:13:58.200 --> 0:14:00.520 I looked into that guy, by the way, what is 0:14:00.559 --> 0:14:03.280 he like? He was He was just very big on 0:14:03.480 --> 0:14:07.440 describing anatomy in the you know, mid eighteen hundreds, and 0:14:07.440 --> 0:14:09.480 he's got a lot of stuff named after him, a 0:14:09.520 --> 0:14:12.120 lot of diseases, a lot of body parts, Cooper's ankle, 0:14:12.320 --> 0:14:15.320 Cooper's ligament is one of them. It's just the ankle, 0:14:15.440 --> 0:14:20.000 but he pointed it out exactly. Um, But yeah, that 0:14:20.160 --> 0:14:23.240 is is They kind of called these muscles in the 0:14:23.280 --> 0:14:26.560 ligaments sort of like a natural brazier to help keep 0:14:26.560 --> 0:14:29.920 the breast up. UM. And then there's the milk producing 0:14:29.920 --> 0:14:33.160 in delivery system. Milk production and delivery system, it's the 0:14:33.240 --> 0:14:38.360 epithelial component. You've got UM. Apparently fifteen to twenty five 0:14:38.560 --> 0:14:42.400 lobes are what they're called um and they're arranged kind 0:14:42.440 --> 0:14:45.480 of like a flower around the center of the breast. 0:14:46.120 --> 0:14:48.960 So if someone says your breasts are like a flower, 0:14:49.600 --> 0:14:54.720 they're they're complimenting your lobes exactly, and that's anatomically correct. UM. 0:14:54.880 --> 0:14:56.840 You can still smack them in the face though if 0:14:56.880 --> 0:15:00.320 you want to. Yeah. The lobes can further be broken 0:15:00.360 --> 0:15:03.680 down into lobules, which are kind of like clusters of grapes, 0:15:03.720 --> 0:15:07.800 and there's a lot of these um per lobe, right uh. 0:15:07.840 --> 0:15:10.960 And then at the end of the lobules there's dozens 0:15:11.120 --> 0:15:14.520 Each lobule has dozens of bulbs and that's where milk 0:15:14.640 --> 0:15:18.440 is produced. That's right. They're connected to ducks called the 0:15:18.520 --> 0:15:21.360 lactiferrous sinus, and that carries the milk to the nipple. 0:15:21.880 --> 0:15:24.560 Of course, the nipple surrounded by the areola, which is 0:15:24.600 --> 0:15:28.880 that dark tissue around the nipple at the front of 0:15:28.880 --> 0:15:32.080 the breast. And there you have it. It's breast one 0:15:32.080 --> 0:15:34.360 on one. That's the breast, and then behind it you've 0:15:34.400 --> 0:15:39.080 got the pectoral muscles, the major and the minor pictorialis 0:15:39.920 --> 0:15:42.640 uh and then the rib cage behind that. So that's 0:15:42.680 --> 0:15:45.440 the anatomy of a breast. That's right, got it? Yeah, 0:15:45.480 --> 0:15:50.520 they are since we're talking size. Obviously with augmentation UM 0:15:50.560 --> 0:15:52.560 it is not a scientific thing, but you generally go 0:15:52.640 --> 0:15:56.640 by brass eyes. How they're manufactured is by a diameter 0:15:56.680 --> 0:15:59.840 and inches around the rib cage under the breast, and 0:16:00.040 --> 0:16:04.200 then the old letter indicating the cup size. So in 0:16:04.200 --> 0:16:08.440 other words like uh a A or double A all 0:16:08.440 --> 0:16:10.640 the way up to it says in the article double 0:16:10.720 --> 0:16:16.600 D and beyond like some fantastical like alright, so now 0:16:16.640 --> 0:16:19.520 I understand the breast ambrass eyes. Yeah, and by the way, 0:16:19.520 --> 0:16:22.320 it's hereditary. Probably if you look at your mom and 0:16:22.360 --> 0:16:25.840 your grandmm, it's probably what you're what you're heading towards 0:16:26.640 --> 0:16:29.280 um later in life. Right, there are things that you 0:16:29.320 --> 0:16:34.120 can do to to impact your breast size, positively or negatively, 0:16:34.160 --> 0:16:37.360 depending on your opinion. Sure, weight yeah, um, some things 0:16:37.360 --> 0:16:41.760 that you can control like um, menstruation, menopause, pregnancy, all 0:16:41.760 --> 0:16:44.120 effect breast eyes and guys hear a lot about and 0:16:44.120 --> 0:16:46.760 actually girls to hear a lot about this if you 0:16:47.360 --> 0:16:50.240 have a girlfriend or a wife. Yeah, but just becomes 0:16:50.240 --> 0:16:53.240 a common topic of conversation when you live with somebody 0:16:53.280 --> 0:16:56.280 for long enough. Breasts. Yeah, I mean there're a thing. 0:16:56.320 --> 0:17:00.480 They're there, they are there. Um, that's a T shirt, 0:17:02.640 --> 0:17:06.199 it's a movie. So check. Now that we have the 0:17:06.280 --> 0:17:10.840 anatomy of the breast, um, let's talk about breast implants themselves. Yeah, 0:17:10.880 --> 0:17:14.720 the actual thing that has implanted. Some people might not 0:17:14.760 --> 0:17:17.840 know this. I thought everyone knew, you know, has has 0:17:17.840 --> 0:17:21.560 seen them before. But it's not has felt them, has 0:17:21.600 --> 0:17:25.200 slept with them on their pillow. It's not. Uh, it's 0:17:25.200 --> 0:17:28.000 not just like an an injection or something. It is 0:17:28.080 --> 0:17:30.000 and there's not a pill you take. It's an actual 0:17:30.040 --> 0:17:33.840 physical Who thought it was a pill. There's one dude 0:17:33.840 --> 0:17:37.000 out there that thinks it's a Bill Todd. It's not 0:17:37.080 --> 0:17:40.440 a pill. Uh. It is an actual uh sack. It 0:17:40.840 --> 0:17:43.960 is an elastomer shell, which is an elastic polymer shell 0:17:44.680 --> 0:17:49.240 and it is uh generally these days they are empty 0:17:49.760 --> 0:17:53.159 at first and it's in in they're not full, although 0:17:53.240 --> 0:17:55.520 it depends, well, it depends on what you're after all. Well, 0:17:55.560 --> 0:17:57.520 you have the empty kind that they usually roll up 0:17:57.520 --> 0:18:00.040 when inserting, which we'll get into, or you have the 0:18:00.200 --> 0:18:03.280 um pre filled, which are not pre filled to their 0:18:03.320 --> 0:18:08.639 final destination. Yeah, and they're there. Um, they're like a 0:18:08.640 --> 0:18:11.159 certain size. They can get to a certain size. I 0:18:11.160 --> 0:18:14.760 think those have fallen out of favor somewhat, but I'm sure. Well, yeah, 0:18:14.880 --> 0:18:18.120 mostly they're they're not pre filled these days. Well there's 0:18:18.119 --> 0:18:20.040 a lot of benefits to not having pre filled again, 0:18:20.080 --> 0:18:22.800 which we'll get into a little bit. But okay, um, 0:18:22.840 --> 0:18:26.760 the size then would not have to do with what 0:18:27.160 --> 0:18:29.720 they're already filled with, but what they're finally going to 0:18:29.760 --> 0:18:33.119 be filled with. And it's usually mentored measured in cubic 0:18:33.200 --> 0:18:38.000 center leaders right, Yeah ccs ccs and one cup size 0:18:38.240 --> 0:18:40.920 um for every hundred and seventy five to two hundred ccs. 0:18:41.760 --> 0:18:43.200 And I guess this is where we should talk about 0:18:43.200 --> 0:18:47.560 the rice test. Okay, um, if you want to know 0:18:48.440 --> 0:18:51.520 what your breasts are gonna look like, or if you're 0:18:51.520 --> 0:18:53.720 a man who always wanted to know what it would 0:18:53.720 --> 0:18:58.560 look like if you have breasts you style, you can 0:18:58.800 --> 0:19:02.159 um do something called the rice test. That's right, they 0:19:02.200 --> 0:19:04.040 apparently this is the best way to tell um. You 0:19:04.080 --> 0:19:07.239 cut a twelve inch length of panty hose, although they 0:19:07.240 --> 0:19:09.240 say you can use like baggies or whatever, but panty 0:19:09.240 --> 0:19:12.160 hose is probably the most realistic. Tie not in one end, 0:19:12.240 --> 0:19:15.680 and then use a chart um which you can find online, 0:19:15.720 --> 0:19:22.240 to basically fill with rice to estimate what you will 0:19:22.280 --> 0:19:25.560 look and feel like. For instance, about a half a 0:19:25.600 --> 0:19:30.879 cup is a d c cs of volume. About point 0:19:30.960 --> 0:19:33.560 six is a D fifty season on up and you 0:19:33.600 --> 0:19:37.560 can find the chart online. Just under three cups seven ccs. 0:19:38.600 --> 0:19:42.520 That's a lot. That's three cups of rice um. And 0:19:42.600 --> 0:19:44.880 remember it doubles in your stomach so you'll feel full. 0:19:46.280 --> 0:19:49.720 Uh So they say they recommend to like, uh, put 0:19:49.760 --> 0:19:53.200 in a sports bra where that wear it around, exercise 0:19:53.240 --> 0:19:55.439 in it, run errands, do whatever you normally might do 0:19:55.600 --> 0:19:58.920 to get the look in the feel of like, hey, 0:19:58.920 --> 0:20:00.600 this is what I'm gonna look and feel like? And 0:20:00.960 --> 0:20:04.760 you know, should I continue? Should I not? As too big? 0:20:04.800 --> 0:20:07.600 Are they too small? As the grocery store clerk who's 0:20:07.640 --> 0:20:12.880 checking you out. They're fine, ma'am everybody. Well, they also 0:20:12.920 --> 0:20:15.879 say you can use water, um, instant mashed potatoes and 0:20:15.960 --> 0:20:19.960 oatmeal instead of rice. I could see instant mashed potatoes 0:20:20.000 --> 0:20:23.000 being really good, because aren't they like flaky it's flaky potatoes. 0:20:24.240 --> 0:20:28.600 I could see that rice is that's I mean, that's hard. Yeah, 0:20:28.640 --> 0:20:31.320 that's true, but you should call it the instant mashed 0:20:31.320 --> 0:20:34.320 potato test. I think that's why they didn't. So anyway, 0:20:34.320 --> 0:20:37.560 that's apparently how you uh, and it's obviously you want 0:20:37.600 --> 0:20:41.119 to work with your doctor two um kind of like singles. 0:20:41.160 --> 0:20:43.639 Remember that movie when Bridget find It goes in for 0:20:43.680 --> 0:20:46.679 breast implants and Bill Pullman essentially talks her out of it. 0:20:47.680 --> 0:20:50.480 I forgot that part. Yeah, but you're gonna do that. 0:20:50.480 --> 0:20:53.200 You're gonna work with your doctor on appropriate sizing. Yeah, 0:20:53.359 --> 0:20:55.880 it's not gonna be like weird science, you know, where 0:20:55.680 --> 0:21:00.160 you just like click on the mouth until tremendous and large, 0:21:00.680 --> 0:21:05.159 um with some eighties graph behind it. But you want it. 0:21:05.200 --> 0:21:07.480 You just want an appropriate size for your frame basically, 0:21:07.480 --> 0:21:10.760 because not only just for looks, but for you know, 0:21:10.880 --> 0:21:13.720 can you support it with your body frame? Well? Yeah, 0:21:13.760 --> 0:21:16.000 that weight, not just that, I mean not just like 0:21:16.080 --> 0:21:18.280 the extra pressure that's gonna be put on your back 0:21:18.359 --> 0:21:20.680 and shoulders and all that, but I mean like your 0:21:21.240 --> 0:21:24.360 your skin itself may have trouble supporting the breast implants, 0:21:24.400 --> 0:21:26.919 which is definitely something to consider as well. Yeah, and 0:21:26.960 --> 0:21:29.399 this article says generally they come in three sizes, but 0:21:29.480 --> 0:21:32.800 there that's just not true. There's like four and fifty sizes. Well, 0:21:32.840 --> 0:21:34.200 I like this article is right, and I think in 0:21:34.240 --> 0:21:37.120 two thousand three or four, and I mean it's definitely 0:21:37.359 --> 0:21:41.760 breast implant breast augmentation surgery has increased by leaps and 0:21:41.800 --> 0:21:44.840 bounds since then. Um, I've seen up to four and 0:21:44.840 --> 0:21:49.440 fifty different varieties and I think that's combinations of shape, size, 0:21:49.560 --> 0:21:51.639 that kind of thing. But yeah, there's a lot of 0:21:51.680 --> 0:21:57.399 different sizes. Um, mainly the sizes again it has to 0:21:57.440 --> 0:22:01.280 do it's measured in ccs. The shape. There's still typically 0:22:01.520 --> 0:22:04.600 just two shapes that I ran across. Yeah, there's round 0:22:05.000 --> 0:22:08.880 and then there's a tear drop, which is also called contour. Yeah. Yeah, 0:22:08.880 --> 0:22:12.040 and basically one the round. I guess it depends when 0:22:12.040 --> 0:22:13.879 you're talking to They can be more popular in that 0:22:13.920 --> 0:22:19.480 there fuller and uh, there's more cleavage and there's more lift, 0:22:19.960 --> 0:22:23.359 but they don't look as real. The tear drop shape 0:22:23.480 --> 0:22:27.560 mimic the anatomy of a natural woman's breast. More so, 0:22:27.640 --> 0:22:29.920 some women might favor those if you want to look 0:22:29.920 --> 0:22:34.000 more natural. Right, Um, but round is the most commonly used, 0:22:34.040 --> 0:22:36.080 I believe. Well, I don't know if it still is. 0:22:37.920 --> 0:22:40.280 I take an issue with that, Okay, I think that's 0:22:40.280 --> 0:22:44.440 a two thousand three statement. Um. Again, though it has 0:22:44.480 --> 0:22:49.399 to do with what what shape you choose, you know, 0:22:49.840 --> 0:22:52.760 not just what you want how you wanted to look. 0:22:52.800 --> 0:22:55.159 But I mean the surgeon needs to have some input 0:22:55.200 --> 0:22:57.080 here too. Yeah. And if you get a good surgeon, 0:22:57.080 --> 0:22:59.440 they're gonna guide you in the right direction. You know that. 0:22:59.440 --> 0:23:01.920 That's their part of the job. It's not just to 0:23:01.960 --> 0:23:05.200 perform the surgery. It's the consultation and advice and all 0:23:05.200 --> 0:23:08.800 that good stuffy um. And since they're plastic surgeons, to 0:23:08.960 --> 0:23:11.520 look good doing it. Yeah, And if they're not doing that, 0:23:11.520 --> 0:23:13.920 that means it's a bad plastic surgeon. Did you see 0:23:14.000 --> 0:23:19.119 Rob Low in Liberacia? Man? Well is there are some 0:23:19.359 --> 0:23:23.720 real decisions made for his character and his look and 0:23:23.800 --> 0:23:26.760 this well that's what that guy looked like, Is that right? Yeah, yeah, 0:23:26.760 --> 0:23:29.160 I look at my ps. He was creepy looking. I will, 0:23:29.200 --> 0:23:31.200 I will is he still alive? Because I'm so sorry 0:23:31.200 --> 0:23:34.800
