What is Myfreeimplants?
MyFreeImplants is a website based on the social networking model. The service purports to be an alternative to traditional cosmetic surgery financing methods.
Models participate on the website with the main goal of raising money to fund a breast augmentation procedure through online donations.
Here's how it works
The goal behind the website is to match up women (“the girls”) with benefactors (“the donors”) who will cover the costs of breast augmentation surgery.

To start soliciting donations, a woman need merely provide her name, birthday, and several pictures. Within seconds, she can start updating her status and chatting with donors.
If she’s feeling ambitious, she can participate in one of the many “contests” set up by donors. An AIM-like chat function, which limits text and automatically deletes chat history, is free to use, but direct messages cost a donor $1 each.

And users can swap pictures and videos of anything they’d like through invitation-only private galleries. The women of MFI never get direct access to any money that is raised; rather, it goes to an escrow known, inevitably, as the Boob Bank.

When a woman reaches her goal, usually around $5,500, the money is paid directly to an MFI-affiliated plastic surgeon who performs her surgery. If all goes well, her before-and-after pictures, along with a Q&A, enter the hallowed MFI Hall of Fame.

If a woman quits MFI, any donors get their money back. Even if she successfully reaches her goal, the woman never actually gets her hands on the money. When people donate to her “boob bank,” the money is held there until she reaches her goal.

The site has about 13,500 active users—3,500 women and 10,000 men
The BAAPS and the American Society of Plastic Surgeons would like to go on the record as being very much not in favor of this shenanigans. “It turns a surgical procedure into a contest, and that is not something we think is appropriate,” said the president of the American Society.
The site currently has 3,500 women registered and 10,000 registered men. More than 1,000 women have gotten breast implants through MFI. The site raised $2.8 million in 2008 and says it has raised over $12.5 million since it was founded in 2005. The website takes 19 percent of all donations.

Moore and Grunstra launched MFI’s prototype in 2005. Their vision, a hybrid between a social network and crowdsourced funding, appeals to social libertarianism, with an undercurrent of sexual empowerment.

Breast implants increase cancer death risk and other complications
Women who have cosmetic surgery to increase the size of their breasts may be at greater risk of dying from breast cancer, scientists say.
After having breast implant surgery, about one in three women will require further surgery within 10 years of their initial operation.

Most implants are filled with saline solution or silicone which are radio-obscure – X-rays cannot penetrate them – so they cast a shadow obscuring the breast tissue that lies behind them.
fda.govFollowing breast implant surgery, about one in seven women find their nipples are less sensitive or completely desensitised (have no sensation at all). Alternatively, after having breast implant surgery your nipples may be more sensitive. Sometimes, the nipples can become so sensitive they are painful.

Will a service like this heal women of their insecurities and help them deal with the pressure to look good?
Every woman is insecure about her body. This includes worrying about not being thin enough, not being curvy enough, not having certain facial features such as big eyes, fuller lips or having cellulite, among a host of other things.
Self conscious women in relationships are ignoring the negatives of sleeping in slap and are going to bed with mascara, foundation and even fake eyelashes on, to give the illusion of round the clock beauty.
