Belly Augmentation
Yesterday, I saw a post in Craig's List looking for someone to undergo a belly augmentation. It mentions using an implant in the stomach to give the appearance of a full term pregnant belly. I am trying to understand why someone would want a belly augmentation. Don't get me wrong, I believe that being pregnant can be a beautiful time for a woman. It is exciting as new life is being brought into the world. I can see that some women may appreciate the extra attention that people give when seeing a pregnant woman. But to have an extended pregnant like belly on a permanent basis doesn't seem very appealing. I have never been pregnant but I understand it is difficult to get up, tie your shoes and that pressure gets put on your bladder. Plus it isn't a real baby so there is no impending excitement of the new life that is yet to come. Below is a copy of the post. "I work for a plastic surgery firm, I am their marking guy and I have been asked to post this on Craig's List. We are looking for a willing client that would under go a plastic surgery procedure using tried and true quality implant and procedure however the only difference would be this implant would be much larger yet similar to a breast implants it would be implanted in the abdomen area, achieving a realistic full term pregnant belly appearance. The same standard techniques would be used as with breast implants so there is no more risk than that of breast argumentation, this is not silicone injections but a very expensive and professional procedure. Willing client would agree to come back 4 times in the course of a year in order to fill the implant to capacity. The total amount client would have belly implant in would be 18 months. Client would then have belly implant easily removed using the highest quality procedure sparing no expense. Client would be compensated $15,000 for the 18 months and paid in 5 payments. Client will be subject to random drug testing, as using any controlled substance could cause complications. Client must be attractive for marketing purposes, and allow photography and video documentation of this complete procedure as well and model in profession photo shoots showcasing the belly augmentation. Please reply with age, current measurements, plastic surgery history if any, and include recent pics." Comments anyone? Nov 01 12 09:24 pm Link Misty R H wrote: Yeah.... Nov 01 12 09:27 pm Link Sounds like somebody wanting to fulfill some weird fetish. It is a real talent gig listing though.

The medical profession had trials and studies, not gigs. Nov 02 12 03:42 am Link There's probably a lucrative market in accomodating rich desperate attention-whores who want the deference a pregnant woman gets. Nov 02 12 03:54 am Link for me... pregnant sex was some of the best sex ever... The whole thing seems crazy and wicked dangerous... Nov 02 12 05:02 am Link Just when you think you have heard everything, something like this comes along to prove that you have not. Something isn't right about this, though. Being pregnant at age 39 was the most wonderful time in my life, and I certainly got a lot of attention, particularly the day I went to a nudist camp when my belly was quite large. But I simply cannot understand why anyone would want to fake a pregnancy with an implant, they would have to be crazy to do that. Nov 02 12 05:08 am Link Orca Bay Images wrote: I think you are right. This is the only thing I can think of. I wonder how the woman with the implant would explan it to the people in her life. I mean all of a sudden she is "9 months pregnant". Then she endlessly goes on and never has a baby. Then after the implant is removed what happened to the "baby". Nov 02 12 07:14 am Link Drug mules? How much is 8-10lb of heroin worth on the street these days....? Just my $0.02 Ciao Stefano www.stefanobrunesci.com Nov 02 12 08:15 am Link There is no amount of money that someone could pay me to do that... blah. I am thinking about how is that thing going to even work. Breast are made up of fat so implants can fit. But putting that much implant under ab muscles... how is that going to work? How much pain would that be!? Nov 02 12 09:39 am Link My Belly already looks like that! No augmentation needed. Malodave Nov 02 12 12:16 pm Link This really isn't something that a responsible board certified plastic surgeon should do. Responsible surgeons do a little mental evaluation to determine the motivation behind the surgery and to see if the patient has realistic expectations. It is only my opinion but I think anyone wanting a fake pregnancy has issues that need to be addressed by a mental health professional versus a plastic surgeon. A fake pregnancy isn't grounded in reality it creates an unhealthy fantasy world that can have some real adverse physical complications.

Client gets 5 payments of $3000; but the cost of the implants is included in the check, so they will send a check for $5000 and when you get it; you have to immediately send them a check for $2000 so they can order the implants. Nov 02 12 01:35 pm Link can't this be accomplished with beer? >_> Nov 04 12 12:44 am Link I know where this thread belongs: http://www.craigslist.org/about/best/all Nov 04 12 01:29 am Link D M E C K E R T wrote: That takes longer. Nov 04 12 10:46 am Link Once one accepts the notion of surgical cosmetic intervention, it doesn't make much logical sense to split hairs. Nov 04 12 10:49 am Link Nov 04 12 10:51 am Link

Nov 04 12 01:35 pm Link I'd call it a hoax, medical trials are not advertised on craigslist (unless posted by a third party, which isn't allowed by CL). And only reason I could see someone wanting to put on the 'preggors' look without actually having a child, would be either 1) to satify some kind of fetish, like porn vids or something, or 2) has a mental illness where desires strangers constantly asking about due date and shit.
