Hollywood Breast Implant Bonanza

Being a celebrity might seem like a glamorous lifestyle but there are certain drawbacks to being recognized by a majority of the general public. Celebrities are constantly hounded by the paparazzi looking to take photos and uncover celebrity secrets and scandals. While the paparazzi are a big problem faced by celebrities, there are also pressures they face behind the scenes at work. Celebrities are always being judged on their looks and whether or not they are popular and appealing to the public. The need to maintain a certain look and style in front of the camera, as well as in front of their fans, can lead many celebrities to change their appearance. One of the most popular ways to get a look that is considered sexy and desirable is having a breast implant procedure.

Why would a female celebrity allow herself to be pressured into having a breast implant procedure? Some of the reasons are a result of public pressure while other motivations come from the celebrities themselves.

• Self-Esteem – It doesn’t matter if a person is a famous celebrity, self-esteem issues plague people of all ages and social status. Having the money for a procedure, as well as access to top doctors and techniques, can make the decision to have breast implants easy for a celebrity. A nicely done implant procedure can do wonders to boost the self-confidence of a woman.
• Creating Buzz – It’s been said that what goes up must eventually come down as well. Many celebrities climb to the top of the fame game and then find themselves replaced by a younger and hotter celebrity. Having a breast implant procedure, as well as any other plastic surgery procedure, can create a buzz around the celebrity. The desire to stay at the top of the celebrity food chain can lead people to make decisions about surgically altering their appearance to remain in the public eye.
• Maintain Their Looks – This reason is related to the creating buzz strategy. Many celebrities, male and female, come into prominence thanks to their looks. In fact, there are many reality stars whose popularity seems to be based solely on their looks. If their looks are what got them noticed in the first place, it stands to reason that they are willing to undergo a procedure to maintain the appearance that made them famous.

Once a celebrity has a breast implant procedure, it’s up to them whether or not they will admit it to the public. There are some celebrities with breast implants that don’t mind letting the world know that fact. They are proud to share their breast news with anyone that will listen to them. Some examples include:

• Miley Cyrus - Miley said she felt like a boy before her implants added some curves to her body.
• Carmen Electra - Carmen credits some of her success in Hollywood to her decision to go from 32B’s to double D’s.
• Denise Richards – The former Mrs. Charlie Sheen has undergone three implant surgeries in order to find the right size for her frame.

On the other hand, there are some celebrities who are suspected of having breast implant surgery but have never publically admitted to a surgical procedure:  

• Hayden Panettiere – The “Nashville” actress has never admitted to having a boob job but speculation grew when she was photographed in a bikini sporting much larger breasts than had been previously seen on her tiny body.
• Kate Hudson – The daughter of Goldie Hawn has not admitted to any kind of surgical procedure on her breasts. There has been speculation that she received implants due to her chest being an area of her body that has always caused her some insecurity.
• Britney Spears – When the pop sensation first appeared on the scene as a teenager, she was rather flat-chested. There has been speculation that she got breast implants as a teen, had them removed as her natural breasts became larger and then had implants again as she got older. The only people who might really know if Britney’s current chest is real or implanted are Britney herself and her plastic surgeon.

Breast implants in Hollywood are almost a daily occurrence among the stars. Whether they have implants to remain relevant or to improve their self-image, female celebrities are sure to turn heads with their new look on the red carpet. Whether or not they admit to having an implant procedure remains to be seen.
