Robert Whitfield MD argues that breast implants can suppress sex hormones, leading to low libido in women. He contrasts the expectation that looking more attractive will boost desire against postpartum hormone changes like thyroid problems and depression that actually tank it.
The majority of my patients have zero libido. Whoa. So if you get breast implants like you said, people are considering that because they're single, maybe, and they think this will make them more attractive. So you find the person, start family, have kids together. Pregnancy is basically a parasitic situation, and women get all sorts of deficiencies from having kids. And then afterwards, a pretty large number of women suffer things like thyroid problems, depression, and you're sleep deprived. And what's the expectation, magically, that creates this intimacy and closeness? No, this is garbage. This is not happening like that. You have zero libido because all your sex hormones are. So if you knew the breast implants ultimately lead to suppressed levels of sex hormones, would you do that?
