Belly implant?

I think I may have seen a question like this posed on some other website, but I'd like to get the opinion of people on this site.

Do you think it would be possible for someone to get a belly implant? You know, like a breast implant but making the belly larger instead. It seems like it should be possible, though I'm not a doctor. If it is indeed possible, I'm kind of surprised that no one has ever done it. If they have done it, they must have never shared it on the internet - because I'm sure if they did people on websites like this would have found out about it. That doesn't really make sense though, because you would think a person who would want to do that would also want to share it with the internet if nowhere else.

Obviously, belly inflation is not a mainstream fetish, but it still includes a lot of people (probably more than we'll ever know because a lot of them won't even take such a bold step as to join a website like this). Moreover, it seems to me that many (if not all) of the people with this fetish are pretty devoted to it, and will go to some pretty extreme lengths to actualize it.

Of course, there is the social stigma that would go along with such a decision, but I've heard of people having equally weird permanent procedures done, like having their tongues split, making themselves look more cat-like, etc. Besides, a belly implant might even be reversible. These things seem inexplicable to me.

Anyway, I was thinking of trying to contact some random plastic surgeon to see if it's actually possible. I don't think I would actually want to have it done, but I'm just curious to know if it's actually possible. Seems like there's nothing to lose by simply asking a question like that, but I'm not sure. Any opinions on whether or not that would be a good idea?

Yes, I've thought about this a lot. :D

I'm almost sure this is feasible. I think it would mainly depend on avoiding friction and minimising an immune response. A permanently inflated implant would probably be easier. Out of interest, i'm going to look at some information on breast implants and see if it's doable.

Technically it would be possible to have this kind of procedure done but actually doing it in reality is a whole other matter.

Sticking a breast implant into a pocket made between fat cells and muscle is one thing but sticking something similar into the abdominal cavity next to some very vital organs is something else entirely. At best you'll end up in a situation similar to pregnancy (weak bladder etc.) and at worst it could end up crushing something and killing you.

Assuming that it is possible to stick an implant there without damaging the body, the chances of finding a company to manufacture it, a surgeon to implant it and a country that would be happy for you to do it without spending vast sums of money are slim at best.

If someone was really set on the idea their best bet would be to try and get hold of a very large expandable saline breast implant. Even then you'd still have to find a surgeon willing to implant it and fill it up for you.

This might be the solution you were looking for

They inflate themselves temporarily with saline. After a while the saline just filters out of the body as urine and is completely harmless if the procedure is done correctly.

The catch however would be the size of area a belly is. I don't know exactly how much it would take to inflate a belly but I'm guessing that you would need at least 2000cc of saline.

This can be done to any part of your body including breasts and scrotum and butt for those hardcore inflatees out there

Haven't you made this topic in enough forums already?

he's probably new to the site. nothing to get mad at him for

Thing is, enlarging the belly by means of an implant has no point, thus no market and no money to be made by pharmaceutical manufacturers. Plastic surgery and breast augmentation, while having the social stigma of being something rich people do to look pretty, were born out of necessity: making severely injured people, burn victims mostly, easier to look at. There is no medical or atomically-pleasing reason to add mass to the lower torso by surgical means, so there is not likely to be any research in this area of body modification.

People do engage in dramatic modification of their bodies, for instance gender reassignment surgery, that bloke who made himself look like a cat and extreme piercing and tattooing enthusiasts, plus the people in that link.

A surgeon with an inflation fetish would probably pay to do the operation!

I think it would work inside the greater omentum.

I know the cat guy, just letting you know most of his stuff is done in Mexico (as no US practice will do that type of stuff).

So I guess go south of the border (or fly to India) and they will do whatever you like if you pay enough :)

Hisssssssssssss.. ...uh oh!!

It seems possible but I'm not a plastic surgeon nor an expert in any medical field but it doesn't sound very safe...at ALL.

Why couldn't a large saline implant be placed in, for example, a woman's uterus? The uterus is designed to expand during pregnancy, and the implant, if large enough, wouldn't travel anywhere it isn't supposed to.

On behalf of my wife, someone needs to make this happen.

That sounds like a one way trip to sterilization... but i wouldn't hesitate a second to get that done if possible!

The uterus has months to stretch though. Kinda like those massive plugs in peoples ears you see. It takes time to stretch to that size.

I know that sometimes in breast implants they run a tube to the armpit where more saline or silicone can be injected into the implant. Perhaps they could do the same kind of contraption with your uterus implant idea and slowly inflate it over time. You'd need quite a stretchy implant however.....

nineteenthly

The uterus also stretches as a result of hormones and grows in a similar way to a muscle in body-building during pregnancy. Also, unless it's actually pregnant, it develops the layer of tissue which is shed during menstruation. This would have nowhere to go if there was an implant there. I don't think that would work.

Interesting you should know the cat guy. Our equivalent in Europe is probably Morocco, where i know someone who had a surgeon help him experiment on his brain (temporarily turned off the left hemisphere!)

I too have often thought about a belly implant in the past. While it should be technically feasible, there are some issues that need to be addressed.

Protecting the organs - With breast implants, there's the ribcage that protects the organs. With the belly, there's no protection, so the weight and size of the implant will no doubt cause problems to the digestive system. They could be protected a bit if the implant is above the muscle, but that leads to other problems.

sagging/movement - With breast implants, the patient has to wear a bra (no underwire) 24/7 for 6 weeks straight (this may have changed, but that was the standard about 10 years ago) to keep the implants in their place. The patient would have to be almost stationary for 6 weeks for the implanted area to heal. But with the amount of movement that's done at the waist (bending, twisting) the "pocket" would no doubt keep getting larger, especially given the weight of 2+ gallons of saline. Plus the weight would eventually stretch the skin out causing the belly to look like a sagging breast. Those problems could be solved by implanting under the muscle, but you have the earlier problem with the organs.

The implant - Several implants would have to be made. You can't go from A cup to DD cup overnight. You can only increase size every so often. The porn stars that have the really big breasts (not including those with the banned string implants) had to go through several operations, getting bigger implants each time.

All that said, I would love to get one. :)

You could inflate it with an inert gas instead of using liquid. It would be very susceptible to heat and cold if this were done though, and there'd be a risk of gas embolism

joehan11

i definitely think a gas is out of the question. although i bet there are some crazy docs out there i dont think anyone of them would risk their license on a gas implant. the risks are just too great. it would have to be saline or silicone. saline would be the most probable since doctors use it on a regular basis and knows pretty much all the effects it has on the human body

There is medicine that women can take that completely prevents them from menstruating. Some can last a long time (as much as a year). Besides, any sexually active woman wouldn't want to be menstruating while she has a large foreign object in her uterus. If an egg gets fertilized and decides to implant itself somewhere, then you gotta somehow get the implant out without risking the pregnancy.

Anyone serious about venturing into uncharted waters??? message me. 

I think it very doable. The uterus grows in the "peritoneum" for women. Guys have the same space in the abdomen. I'm a guy. Also Laparoscopy is an example of Doctors using humidified and warm CO2 to inflate the  peritoneum to do many different types of surgeries. And getting through the belly button is pretty easy. It's a very light process on the body when done right. i'm hoping to actually do this soon. i'm making my own balloon and ive put a rod inside before. biggest thing is sterilization.  I'm not advising anything, just food for thoughtsssssss. when i do it i'll make a video.
