I doubt the implants themselves are causes. However, I would think that a higher than normal percentage of patients that have this done have self-esteem problems to begin with. Perhaps both are but symptoms of the same problem in some percentage of women.
Large rack. Ha.
I agree with #1. low self esteem in the first place. I think there is no cause and effect with implants and suicide.

Does it really take one of SN’s nurse-hooker [cop-hooker, fish-nets, cuffs, leash, etc] to get my attention? 🙂

Also worth considering:
1. it drew unwanted attention from men expecting them to be superficial.
2. it drew scorn from men/women who assumed it was a sign of desperation/superficiallity…
