Photo of the patient’s physician consultation.
look at the lamps on the ceiling, u can see how they used a miniature lamp to make her look giant
Are you telling me this is fake???1??
somewhere before 4000cc. carrying that around on your chest looks like it would cause some serious damage to your body.
my arse at first read it as 4000bc
Damn, an ass with eyes… Now i didnt expect that.
Well, 4 litres of water weigh 4kg of course, I’m guessing silicon must be slightly heavier, so that’s 8kg+ of weight on top your spine…
not much, it’s not pure silicon but mostly saline caught in a silicone matrix.
https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4174160/ says density is between 1.03 - 1.07 g/ml, resulting in only 120-280 g more than pure water.
Only gripe with this study seems for me that these were measured at standard lab conditions @ 20°C, while they will be at body temperature while in use, maybe changing density. But the mass stays the same, so for our chat here that isn’t that important.
16kg, 8*2
He was distracted thinking about the boobs 😅
what? 4 litres each 4x2 = 8
yeah damage like being torn straight the fuck off, i don’t see how you could possibly make this size of implants work.
㎤: Correct
㎖: Correct
㏄: Get the fuck out of here. Standards in physics over industry conventions.(Yes, I’m using the single-character, CJK-fullwidth forms for cm³, ml, cc to achieve vertical alignment)
My god dude i don’t know where it came from but i had a very strong urge to yell nerd and take your lunch money.
Since this is the only other comment about their volume I’m putting this here. Every time I see this image posted, I have to point out there is 0 chance those are 4000 cm³. Those are like, 4x or 5x the size of a 4 L (1 gallon for you americans) milk jug, which actually are ~4000 ml.
No there are 4000 cc’s which is equivalent to about 4 l or just over a gallon. They’re not saying that they were 4 cm squared but they were saying they liquid amount in them which is common for how much liquid is involved in a breast implant.
I’m saying there is 0 chance the ones shown in the picture are 4000 cc. I’d believe they exist, but these ain’t them

That’s kind of hot
Language prescriptivism?
In my Lemmy?
Units are meant to be cross-language. If you want stupid units and ad-hoc abbreviations, use the imperial system. They have PSI (lbf/in²) and mph (mi/h), where one has “p” for reciprocity (“/”) and another nothing. And imagine the chaos if other languages used imperial units and abbreviated them: see Wikidata for inch, including 100+ language versions
Counter point: ACAB includes language police.
Languages change… deal with it 😎.
Yes, things change. No country used metric in medieval times, now It’s mostly just the US that refuses to. It’s their lack of experience that leads to abominations like “kph”, “sqm”, “kgf”, “cc” or “MFD” (micro? milli? megafarad?). Only minor updates have needed to be made to the metric system: most recently the kilogram is no longer based on a piece if metal in Paris but constants of the universe. Unless you’re weighing to 8+ significant figures, there is no difference. Meanwhile the US ton/metric ton (10%) and mile/nautical mile (15%) difference causes confusion somewhere every day.
That’s actually a good question. I assume that plastic surgeons take one of the modern versions of the Hippocratic Oath.
At what point do large breast implants constitute harm to the patient, and a violation of the oath?
If only doctors were actually punished for breaking it. Especially if you consider sexist/body shaming assholes that constantly tell fat women (and often even guys) their problems are because they’re fat.
A lot of problems are because of obesity though, it impacts everything :(
Ideal doc: “Look, your obesity is impacting your other health issues. Let’s treat them but dropping a few pounds would help too. Here are some resources to help you eat better and get some more exercise.”
Real doc: “You’re fat, that’s why you’re sick. Lose weight and you won’t be sick. No, I won’t prescribe anything.”
Yeah, but there’s a difference between someone who is severely overweight due to poor diet and lack of physical activity, and someone who just has a slower metabolism and leads a healthy lifestyle. Doctors often don’t make that distinction, which leads to fatter people having consistently worse health outcomes, even when controlling for the increased health risks of being overweight.
In lots of cases, they’ll just tell the patient to lose weight even if they aren’t actually unhealthy in a weight-related way, which is useless if you happen to be fat and have literally any health problems besides being fat (to the extent that that is a health problem, which varies from individual to individual).
That’s awful. So much discrimination in medicine.
dehumanizing obese people for correlating issues isnt a good thing
Agreed. I actually have a related story. I have a bunch of hormone issues so I used to be fat. I couldn’t have a baby and went to the doctor, the lady was very rude and it was clear she found me repulsive. She dismissed me and told me to lose weight and I’ll have a baby. She didn’t explain why. I was so outraged that I avoided doctors for years and stopped trying to find out why I couldn’t have a child. The thing is she was right, it was PCOS and I had a child when I lost the weight. If she hadn’t been so rude and dismissive, if she had mentioned PCOS at all, I wouldn’t have had my son in my late 30s, he was born with a more debilitating autism than me as a result. It’s definitely important to tell patients the truth even if it’s hard, but it’s just as important to come at it from a place of compassion and not blame.
The thing is she was right
Yeah, by accident. If she genuinely just assumed the problem was because you were fat and didn’t actually investigate other potential problems, it was a lucky guess. You do not need to give her credit for that, she’s still a shit doctor.
Or she has seen cases like this before and know the problems of being overweight?
Yeah she was rude about it, but that doesn’t mean she didn’t know her stuff.
You’re right
For those unaware (like me), PCOS = Polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome.
And yeah, agree, a place of compassion helps a lot! I myself eventually also want a baby but the problem is that as far as I recall, there have been only one uterus transplant for people like me, but hundreds for other gals. Can’t wait to get one once I’m ready to be a parent…
Yes sorry I should have explained. Good luck, I bet you’ll be an amazing parent.
rofl good job being part of the problem… Actual asshole.
If someone with, say, a heart condition is overweight, explaining why that’s a problem isn’t sexist or body shaming. It’s a widely accepted medical fact. I’m against punishing doctors simply for telling people things they don’t want to hear.
yea clearly thats what the commenter said /s
Nope. Totally wrong. Not only are your assumptions about how healthcare discussions go extremely wrong and presumptive, but fatness IS NOT as big of a health inxicztor as you think!!
Someones’ fat content in their skin is NOT an indication of even cardiovascular health.
For an extreme example, see sumo wrestlers. They’re fat, but many of them could kick the shit out of you or me without breaking a sweat.
Like waaaaaaaay before this.
But, $$$$$$$, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
“You’re cut off” -boobtender
Would someone not need like skin grafts or something to actually fit them? Like just the surface area seems really wild to cover with the existing skin of even a larger chest.
They work up to it. Put in big ones, normalize, put in bigger ones… it takes a long time to get to something like what’s pictured unless they’re already stacked and drooping to their navel.
Source: I vaguely remember a documentary on that one lady that has implants seriously almost as big as the ones pictured.
As far as I know, skin stretches. It has a harder time shrinking though so once you get those 4l boobs, you’ll never want to remove them.
plus even if you do get enough skin to contain them, doesn’t that skin now have to bear several kg of weight?? Imagine being jostled too hard and your tits just… detach… 💀
Ow, my back.
No doubt about tit, they’re not just good, they’re the breast in Texas.
at this point, they’re big, they’re shiny, they’re round. just clip them on outside the body.

I’m not sure the original poster is being sarcastic or not. But I am a simple gal. I see big boobs I upvote.
I’m pretty sure the person you’re responding to is being sarcastic, themself.
There is a HUGE difference between implants for gender affirming care and whatever the hell those things are.
I was born in a Western German town, as a white girl.
…what
The special thing: I can enlarge my breasts, without further surgery.
Huh? Does she have a zip there?
More like a valve or something.
This was… not what I expected. Thank you and I hate it.
ah yes, making your entire website an embed of another website, fucking wonderful
but also somehow very on theme
