My Breasts - My Poison: Part 5

This article is a continuation of the articles which are dated: February 18, through March 10, 2000. It is the fifth in the series detailing my own personal story of what silicone breast implants can do. I hope you'll read the complete series and look for the soon to be released book, From BIGGER to BATTERED BREASTS, by J.L. Morgan and K. D. Welsh, published by ARROSE BOOKS. With advertising about breast augmentation on the rise, we are sad to say that the silicone breast implant issue is not dead! This dreadful and dangerous surgery is still a very big industry and continues to grow in popularity, especially with the young woman. Brazil boasts that it provides the largest number of these surgical procedures in the world. Why must women measure their worth or physical appearance by the size of their breasts? They just don't realize that in their effort to increase their bust size, more and more women are subjecting themselves to untold risk.
