Women’s button-up shirts are notorious for bunching and gaping around the bustline. You wear a button-up shirt to look professional and be taken seriously, but that entire aim is undermined when the shirt cracks open, giving everyone in the room an unobstructed view of your bra and cleavage. This problem can be especially bad for women following breast augmentation. The contours of an amplified bust can…

Recently there has been a great deal of interest in not only so-called “natural” breast augmentation, but also in the use of stem cells to increase the effectiveness of the procedure and predictability of results. However, the two major plastic surgical societies in the United States have issued a cautionary statement aimed at women who are considering the procedure. The statement comes after a joint task…

It may seem surprising, but the bikini turned 65 this month. The first bikini was designed by Louis Réard and debuted on July 5, 1946. Apparently, the suit was so small that at the time the designer had a hard time finding a woman who would wear it in public.

Many women find that although they are happy with the shape and appearance of their breasts after breast augmentation, they cannot find lingerie that properly supports and flatters their figure.

According to a study (by a British bra retailer), as many as 4 out of 5 women are not wearing the right size bra. There are several different…

Vivienne Westwood is a fashion pioneer in many ways, not the least of which is her somewhat revolutionary acknowledgement that normal women have breasts and women’s fashion should be designed with breasts in mind. A couple years ago, Vivienne Westwood designed a collection based on the muse Pamela Anderson, who helped bring breast augmentation into the mainstream with her starring role in Baywatch. More recently, Vivienne Westwood selected…

It’s a question many couples have these days: What should we put on our gift registry? With fewer and fewer couples getting married young, many people live on their own for years before getting married, and many more have been married before. When this happens, traditional wedding presents like kitchen appliances, towels, and china don’t make sense. The problem is more often how to get…

With increasing numbers of plastic surgeons performing breast augmentation, there are a number of competitive advantages that surgeons advertise when they are trying to distinguish themselves in a crowded market. One of these extras is known as 24-Hour Recovery or Rapid Recovery. They promise you can go out for dinner the night of or be back at work the day after your breast augmentation surgery. While…

According to a study published in the journal Aesthetic Plastic Surgery in February, men are more likely to think large-breasted women are attractive. The study was focused on attempting to determine the standards men and women had for attractiveness of the female body. To determine the difference, “high-quality” pictures were shown to 34,000 men and women. These pictures were varied according to a number of…
