Operations to enlarge or uplift the female breast are a relatively small part of the growing practice of plastic surgeons. But whether a woman's motive is mere vanity or the need to restore the appearance after injury or surgery, there is an increasing variety of materials for building up the bosom.

...uses only 2% to 5% of his mental capacity. Gallup argues that exercising the intellect with weighty issues will toughen flabby thinking, nourish creativity, enlarge perception.
