I am inclined to think that breast implants, or perhaps any cosmetic surgery could be considered addictive in a way. This is merely an observation and obviously only gets out of hand in rare cases as it’s probably quite difficult to get carried away, what with the price and finding a surgeon willing to go out of their comfort zone.
In my life so far I have found 3 things to be similar to this situation. First was body piercings, when I was 12 I only ever wanted my belly button pierced, I was absolutely positive of that but several years and at least 15 piercings later I have to admit I was rather hooked. Tattoos were next, since turning 18 I’ve become quite highly decorated and have many plans for the future because I love how changeable I am in that sense. Third is a bit more sinister but possibly relates more closely to cosmetic surgery. I’m reminded of an eating disorder I used to have where I would set weight goals for myself. However once I’d reached that goal it still wasn’t enough, I now know that no matter how small I got I still wanted to go smaller, like I was addicted to losing weight because it made me feel better about myself. Anything that gives you the ability to change yourself for the better can easily be taken too far as it’s feels great until you get used to it and crave another change.
That being said I’ve not seen anyone on here who seems like they’ve gone over the top 🙂 I just wonder if this dreaded boob greed thing is a mild form of this need to continually change to feel better.
