Motivation Behind Plastic Surgery .. Question from a Journalism Student

[Guest guest]

Dearest Group ... Just had a great talk with this very intelligent young woman.

She requested that I forward her questions to you ... and any of you wish to write her directly with your responses, she'd appreciate having them by

Monday, noonish.

BTW ... I'm expanding our site with your stories too ... check the links at:

www.BreastImplantAwareness.org#stories

I've got a few more to add when I catch a moment ... and would love to publish more of your stories. This week we had around 10 new women write who had read the stories we just added!

Hi Ilena,My name is Liu and I'm a journalism student and the

University of Texas. I am writing a health/science story on thepsychological motivation behind women's decision to get breastimplants, and the ensuing consequences.I called the number on your site a few days ago, but it went straight

to voicemail. If you could answer several questions for me, I wouldvery much appreciate it.1. Why do women choose silicone over saline implants? Are siliconeimplants more realistic?

2. Why are more women getting implants now than they were 15 years ago?3. What drives women to want bigger breasts?

4. Is the breast implant industry targeting different women than they were 10 years ago?

Thank you so much, Liu
