Could the owner of said [gas-filled] implants come down with the bends or something similar?

Not even if they were filled with nitrogen. The bends is a result of nitrogen dissolved in the bloodstream from breathing high-pressure air (most commonly under pressure from large amounts of water on top of the patient and her air,) and then when the pressure is removed too quickly rather than coming out of solution in the lungs and respirating away, the gas comes out of solution in random spots in the circulatory system, filling your blood vessels with gas pockets, with potentially fatal results.

So you’d have to fill the implants with a blood-soluble gas, then have an internal leak while under large amounts of pressure, then fail to decompress… and if you fail to decompress, you’re already in trouble for the normal reasons, no busted implant required.

Goes both ways. My mother, then in her 30s, was having substantial neck problems. Then she cut off her waist-length hair and they reduced substantially. She kept her hair moderately short for the rest of her life.

She never had the frontal problem — she was fairly slender, and she always blamed me for taking away her boobs at childbirth. 😀

The problem, if nothing else, is that women who do this all too often fail to do the necessary manipulation techniques that prevent/reduce scar tissue forming around the implant. The result is a significant hardening of tissue around the implant, leading to obvious misshapen results and a highly visible “wrongness”.

Then there’s the women who go to too large an implant, resulting in what I describe as “teacup tits” — it looks as though someone shoved an inverted tea cup in there.

And, of course, going too cheap — you need to pay for a good surgeon, not some cheap hack.

I don’t like implants (not to argue with, “Hey, it’s your body, so do as you wish. I’m not in charge”), and thus would discourage them when asked. But I have seen a number of exceptionally attractive women whose only “flaw” (and I use that term very carefully) would be that they have no chest, and I can understand why they felt that “one last thing” “marring their beauty” (note the quotes: I disagree thoroughly, but understand) would be something they’d like to fix.

I’m generally against many of the techniques used by plastic surgeons (but I’m a guy, and, while my looks are not trivial, they aren’t a major societal input), but particularly implants and botox. I am annoyed when I see some woman who was once very attractive (Lynda Carter comes to mind) whose face is so obviously botoxed it’s almost a caricature. You have to age gracefully.

I enjoyed Dame Judi Dench, whose comment on botox was something to the end that “she never did it, never would and because of that, she’s one of the few elderly women who can still act, guaranteeing her many many parts in her dotage” (quote from memory, not exact).
