I do understand the whole "you shouldn't skimp on quality since it's a medical surgery". Nonetheless I am sure many plastic surgeons take advantage of that by inflating thier costs.
So, I am trying to get an idea of the costs's for these, and will then do alot of research beforehand.
It's a relatively simple procedure, so if I can save a few grand and still get quality that's great. I'd be willing to fly pretty much anywhere in Canada.

A woman I know got her boyfriend to pay for her implants. Cant remember how many thousands it was. She dumped him shortly after. Thats always an option.
Off topic: Ive found the majority of guys prefer smaller natural breats to large fake ones.

I'm the boyfriend so not a preferred option for me. While I would prefer to keep this thread ontopic as possible I expected alot of offtopic would sneak in. It's all personally preference, as long as whomever is doing it is doing it for the right reasons, go for it. and there can hopefully be a happy medium between smaller natural breats and large fake ones

Wow those are brutal. I've certainly seen some good fakes, but those are terrible.

I wouldnt want any gf of mine to do it for cosmetic reasons, not worth the money, hassle, scarring, stretch marks etc.

Those before and after pics are very early after surgery. It can take months for the implants to "drop" into their final shape. You need to see before and afters a year after surgery to really see the final result. Look to pay 4000-6000. Get a bit back on tax deduction.

Keep in mind that plastic surgeons will not garantee IN WRITING that there will not be long-term complications following breast implants. Try to guess why they wouldn't do that. If you understand the answer, you'll also understand that this non life-sustaining surgery is NOT an acceptable procedure.
There are other ways of treating a woman who feels her breasts are too small. One way is through counselling.

Because it's impossible to guarntee something like that with any medical procedure....

AND because MANY women who have had breast implants have had related health problems several years down the road. You owe it to yourself, as does your girlfriend, to read up objective sources on this topic and to keep an open mind: previous experience has shown that most products or procedures that enhance aesthetics are often brought to market before conclusive evidence is obtained that they are safe, simply because this is a highly profitable business and many people are greedy, including plastic surgeons.
Again, counselling is the best medicine in this case, for both you and your girlfriend.

No offence, but you really shouldn't be applying your own preferences to ours. To say we need "counselling" is downright insulting. Not everyone who opts for cosmetic surgery needs it. It's also naive to assume I have done no other research into the topic.

I am NOT applying my preferences (FYI I prefer big boobs, but that is besides the point).
There is nothing wrong in getting counselling; most well balanced people will need counselling at one stage or another of their life. Getting counselling does not reflect a weakness or a fault of the mind, but a difficulty in dealing with realities and choices of the complex world in which we live. So, please do not be insulted.
Again, I am not assuming you've done NO research into this topic; I'm merely suggesting you do MORE reasearch into it. I've worked in the field of science (in general) and chemistry (in particular) for 25 years (I have a Ph.D.), and I have a keen interest in medicine, though I'm obviously not qualified to give medical advice. My limited knowledge does permit me to state, as I have in previous posts, that boob jobs are not as safe as they are made out to be. I stronly urge your gf to stay away from this surgery and, if she feels so strongly about getting one, the last recourse would be counselling to help her (and you) accept her body as it is.
Again, no offence was intended. I only posted here because I care about other people's well-being in general. If you wish to dicuss this in private, feel free to PM me.

There are right reasons to mutilate your body? Not to mention the strong links between implants and complications further down the road. I would find a girl with more self-esteem

"mutilate" is a bit harsh.
Are you one of those people that think people with piercings or tattoo's are mutilating their body as well?

The health risks from those, if the proper precautions are taken, are much less, so while I don't get it, it's not comparable
