Plastic Silhouettes

Never mind about the intelligence gap on North Korea, women with implants can't fit into the clothes they're now confident enough to wear.

In regions where breast augmentation is most popular, like Southern California, Texas and Florida, the wave of implants is skewing the selection of designer clothes sold at some stores, favoring sizes and styles more ample on top and creating a new market for alterations. Brian Bolke, the owner of a boutique in Dallas, said, "For women who love fashion, breast enlargements and designer dresses do not go together." He estimated more than half his customers have had cosmetic surgery. "... this area is not known for small chests ... women are having dresses completely butchered." After breast augmentation many women say they fill out sweaters and swimwear better, and they get a lot of positive attention, but other clothes no longer look right. "I gave up my wardrobe to show off my breasts," said Tara Fierstatt.

In case you needed another reason not to go under the knife.
