Robert Whitfield MD argues that society shares responsibility for breast implant culture rather than blaming surgeons alone. He reflects on how collective attitudes toward women's bodies shape demand for cosmetic procedures, making the issue a shared problem, not one person's fault.
You know, this is not to indict anyone or, or point fingers at any of us. That happens a lot in this space where there's, you know, talking about men or surgeons or this or that. And really we're all in this together. You know, all of us learn when we're young, we just learn women have breasts. That's just part of being alive. You just learn that. And there's behind the scenes, things that take place in the human mind. Every single human mind does the same things where once it's kind of got hobbies, so once it learns women have breasts, it just likes to see relationships in the opposite direction. So then it learns breasts are womanly.
