Breast Reduction: Throwing Away God’s Gifts

June 7, 2011 - This Sunday’s ladies Bible Study class was on “Appreciating the gifts that god has given you”. After church one of the younger women came up to me to ask a few questions. Jessica is a sweet girl in her early 20′s, and is a good righteous Christian, She is single at the moment and will one day make a Christian man a wonderful wife.

She explained to me that she was well aware that we should accept and be appreciative of the gifts that God has bestowed upon us, but was worried that one of her gifts had brought undue attention to her. It seems as if God has bestowed her with a very ample bosom. She went on to explain that since she had started to “develop” at the age of 12, boys have made cruel jokes and comments to her and about her, that some of the less godly had tried to touch her inappropriately in her teens, and that as a young adult it seems that men only want to date her because of her chest. She has had trouble finding a man that wants more than to just fornicate with her, and is afraid that she is unknowingly leading them to committing self fornication with their rigid sin sticks, at the thought and imagination of her bountiful bosom. Then she dropped the bomb…she was considering Breast Reduction and wondered if god would find it OK.


I knew that Jessica had been blessed but I was surprised to find that she could no longer buy braziers in normal stores as her heaving breasts had become too gargantuan for a typical bra to hold them. I have to admit that I was rather shocked. As a woman of ample breast size myself…well, atleast in my youth…it’s funny what gravity does to the old girls with time, but I digress. I told her that I knew some of the pain that she had experienced. But I told her that I finally found the right man for me, a good man, a Christian man who kept his marauding hands to himself until our wedding night (and then every Monday, Thursday and occasional Saturday for over 50 years).


I further went on to tell her that almost all men who are not homosexual crave larger breasts, it is just the way. And as all christian men are NOT homosexual, she may find it hard to find a respectable man to marry her, if she did not have her God given “assets”. She told me that she had health related reasons for the surgery as well. She has had chronic back pain since she was 15 years old, which is very exasperated by her G cups. She tries to remain healthy by jogging, but finds it very painful for a variety of reasons, not to mention the dirty mexican construction workers who howl yippy yippy gibberish at her, as she passes by.

She seemed very disappointing by my answer, so I told her I would think about it, research it, study it, and Pray on it.

Mammoplasty:
That is the technical term for having your mammaries mutilated by a medical witch doctor. In 2005, over 113,000 women had breast reductions, an increase of 11 percent from the previous year. Doctors almost always perform breast reductions while the patient is under general anesthesia. Patients may take a few weeks for initial recovery, however it may take from six months to a year for the body to completely adjust to the new breast size. The surgery usually takes 3 to 5 hours!

"Breast reduction surgery is oriented toward women with large, pendulous breasts, especially gigantomastia, since the weight of their breasts may cause chronic pain of the head, neck, back, and shoulders, plus circulation and breathing problems. The weight may also cause discomfort as a result of brassiere straps abrading or irritating the skin. For these reasons, the surgery is usually covered by insurance or by welfare provisions. Even if physical discomfort is not a problem, some women feel awkward with the enormity of their breasts in proportion to the rest of their smaller bodies. Except in unusual cases, this procedure is performed on individuals with fully-developed breasts, and it is not typically recommended for women who desire to breastfeed."

Now I am shocked to find out that:
1) My insurance premiums are going to help women mutilate theirselves.
2) I am also shocked to find out that my tax money is going to fund this through WELFARE! I am all for feeding the poor, but I am not funding this Mr. Obama!

The next section is going to include disturbing “scientific language” I apologize but if you are easily offended you may want to skip the next paragraph.

The traditional popular technique in North America bases the blood supply to the nipple and areola complex (NAC) from a central and inferiorly based attachment to the chest wall (an “inferior pedicle” or “central mound” technique), with variations of orientations of such pedicles described. Better understanding of anatomy in terms of innervation to the NAC has made it more likely to lea ve both nipple sensitivity and capability to lactate for the patient as compared to other techniques of the past.

WOW! God REALLY loves this woman. Look, she has no problem exercising.

Warnings:

As with any surgery there are many dangers. Possible issues include difficulty breast feeding, scarring, asymmetry, delayed wound healing, altered nipple sensation, fluid retention in the breast, altered erogenous function, and drooping.It may impair the likelihood of breastfeeding success due to the surgical disruption to the lactiferous duct system.

However, a number of studies have demonstrated a similar ability to breast feed when breast reduction patients are compared to control groups. Scarring from this procedure may be extensive and permanent. Initially, the scars are lumpy and red, but they gradually subside into their final smaller sizes as thin lines, slightly discolored. Though permanent, the surgeon can make the scars inconspicuous to the point that even low-cut tops may be worn without visible scars.The patient does need to minimize post op activity, any heavy lifting, or over head lifting for a minimum of two weeks to minimize any complications such as post-operative bleeding.

To sum up:
* Unfavorable scarring
* Infection
* Changes in nipple or breast sensation, which may be temporary or permanent
* Anesthesia risks
* Bleeding (hematoma)
* Blood clots
* Poor wound healing
* Breast contour and shape irregularities
* Skin discoloration, permanent pigmentation changes, swelling and bruising
* Damage to deeper structures – such as nerves, blood vessels, muscles, and lungs – can occur and may be temporary or permanent
* Breast asymmetry
* Fluid accumulation
* Excessive firmness of the breast
* Potential inability to breastfeed
* Potential loss of skin/tissue of breast where incisions meet each other
* Potential, partial or total loss of nipple and areola
* Deep vein thrombosis, cardiac and pulmonary complications
* Pain, which may persist
* Allergies to tape, suture materials and glues, blood products, topical preparations or injectable agents
* Fatty tissue deep in the skin could die (fat necrosis)
* Possibility of revisional surgery
* Breast reduction surgery can interfere with certain diagnostic procedures
* Breast and nipple piercing can cause an infection
* Your ability to breastfeed following reduction mammaplasty may be limited; talk to your doctor if you are planning to nurse a baby
* The breast reduction procedure can be performed at any age, but is best done when your breasts are fully developed
* Changes in the breasts during pregnancy can alter the outcomes of previous breast reduction surgery, as can significant weight fluctuations

Jesus explains to this woman that he gave her breasts because he LOVES her.

What does GOD say?
I decided to start with Gods thoughts on surgery, I didn’t expect to find much, but when it comes to cosmetic surgery God has quite a lot to say in fact, he is quite the “Chatty Cathy”.

Proverbs 31:30
Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain, but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.

Leviticus 19:28
You shall not make any cuts on your body for the dead or tattoo yourselves: I am the Lord.
 
1 Corinthians 6:19-20
Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body.
 
1 Samuel 16:7
But the Lord said to Samuel, “Do not look on his appearance or on the height of his stature, because I have rejected him. For the Lord sees not as man sees: man looks on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks on the heart.”
 
Genesis 1:27
So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.
 
Matthew 6:25-34
Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on.
 
Psalm 139:13-14
For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well.
 
 Isaiah 64:8
But now, O Lord, you are our Father; we are the clay, and you are our potter; we are all the work of your hand.
 
1 Corinthians 6:19-20
Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body.
Jesus weeps because his gifts aren’t good enough for you.

So there you have it. God Made you, perfect, in his image. Although I doubt God has big boobs, he wants you to. I am sure he would be very upset with you ruining his creation. Now will you get kicked out of heaven? Asking for forgiveness for your sins will always warrant forgiveness from the heavenly father. But to get that forgiveness you have to be truly sorry for what you have done.

What about Man?
Many men list breasts as the first thing that attracts them to a woman. Sure many men tell women it’s their eyes…but they are liars. Horny desperate liars; willing to say anything to get into a woman’s sin treats. Behind closed doors men admit they like breasts, the bigger the better. Most men in fact judge a woman by her breasts. Studies show that most gay men are even attracted to breasts! As disgusting as porno smut is, there are billions upon billions of adult web pages dedicated to large breasts and only four for small breasts. Two of those encourage sinful rear entry, and one is dedicated to small MALE breasts!

Conclusion
I think it is pretty obvious. The only reasons to have a breast reduction is because you're selfish and vain, and enjoy giving your money to doctors. Sure Dr. Adams needs to make the payment on his new Audi, but let him earn that money from treating gunshots in the inner city.

Reasons against having a breast reduction? Possible damnation, disappointment of future husband, a multitude of health issues, possible botched surgery, death.

I am sorry Jessica, but maybe you should leave God’s creation alone on this one. God Bless.
