Lisa:: What's the matter?

Sara: I'm not happy with the way I look.

Lisa: what's wrong?

Sara: I'm too flat-chested.(胸部扁平的)

Lisa: But you still look beautiful.

Sara: That's easy for you to say. you've got nice figure (體型). Guys look at you when you go by.

Lisa: Oh, come on.

Sara: Don't be modest. I've noticed how guys look at you. I swear I'm gonna get breast implants (隆胸填充物)

Lisa: Don't be so hasty. Do you know how much those things cost?

Sara: I have no idea.

Lisa: A mammoplasty (乳房整形)can cost anywhere from $2,000 - 4000!

Sara: I can afford it.

Lisa: What about all the health risks associated with silicon implants (硅填充物)including leaking of the implant, and the fact that implants may hinder breast-cancer detection.

Sara: I know the risks. But I also know about 2 million women have already had surgical breast implants and about 100,000 more women get implants every year. Besides, implants are getting safer all the time. They can be filled with salt water instead of silicon.

Lisa: I guess I can't talk you out of it.

Sara: Well, what would you do if you were me?

Lisa: I don't know. Maybe I'd wear a push-up bra.(定型乳罩) But I'm not sure that I'd opt for cosmetic surgery.(整形手術(shù)). I think the risks are too great.

Sara: Well, I think the benefits outweigh the risks. And what about women who have this surgery to counter the trauma (創(chuàng)傷)of a mastectomy(乳房切除術(shù))? A lot of them swear that it saved their self esteem.

Lisa: Those women are in the minority. Clearly, 80% of women who have implants want a larger bra size. I'm simply not sure that breast implants are going to change your life.

Sara: Well, they'll make me feel better about my appearance and that will definitely be worth it. But I know what men look at first in a women, and I know that bigger breasts will attract more men to me.

Lisa: Maybe so. But what kind of men will they attract?

Sara: That's a good question. I want a man to love me for who I am, not just for my physical appearance.

Lisa: Now you're starting to think. But if you would like to know the effect of how you would be treated with breast implants, you should wear a special bra that gives you the same figure size that you wish to obtain from cosmetic surgery. If you like the reaction you get., then you would be in a better position to make up your mind.

Sara: That's an interesting idea. But c'mon. The main reaction is going to be more attention from men.

Lisa: Believe me. everyone who knows you will notice. But attention from men isn't everything. It can be a distraction, even a danger. After all, you can only have a significant relationship with one man. The main man in your life will love your figure, but he may not love all the attention you get from other men. Also, it may change you.

Sara: What do you mean?

Lisa: A new figure may make you want to see just how much more attention you can get from men.

Sara: I never thought of that before. I'm amazed at how you seem to have pre-thought of every angle in this issue.

Lisa: Well, to tell the truth, I have implants.

Sara: I should have known.

Lisa: If you tell anybody I'll kill you.
