Breast Implants are Back: Is This Enhancement Advancement for Mothers?
By Dana Villamagna (Dana Villamagna, MSJ, is a writer and La Leche League
leader in Wisconsin.)
Web Exclusive - April 4, 2007

The year was 1991 and I was a young, college-age woman when the ban on
silicone breast implants went into effect. I had seriously been considering
undergoing breast augmentation surgery, due entirely to poor body image. I
had an uncomfortable disdain for my breasts which weren't Pamela
Anderson-sized. But the bad publicity surrounding health problems in women
with the silicone implants and the subsequent FDA ban provided a reality
check, and I resigned myself to a life with what I considered
incorrectly-sized breasts.

I now look back with gratitude for the 15-year ban, during which time I have
given birth to and breastfed my three children. As a result, I have
developed a deeply personal appreciation for my breasts as they were made,
and for their biological purpose: to feed and grow tiny babies into healthy,
active children. I regret that today's young women who feel the social
pressure to be large-breasted won't be given that same opportunity to grow
up that the FDA ban provided me before they decide whether to go under the
knife, and before they get to see the inherent value of their own natural
breasts.
