Description: This work is a result of conversation with 40 women about perhaps one of the most sensitive issues of the body image and health - their breasts, the chief attributes of femininity. In the aftermath of the early 1990s controversy over the use of silicone breast implants, how do women decide to undergo surgery to enhance or reconstruct their bodies? How did they face the possibility of debilitating autoimmune disease from rupturing or leaking implants?
