 Breasts are the first thing men notice in a woman

No news here. Research conducted at the Victoria University of Wellington showed that breasts are often the first thing men look at, and for a longer time than other body parts. Nothing to be ashamed since another study said that staring at women's breasts for just minutes a day can improve a man's health and add four to five years to his life.

In your 20s, your boobs are made up of fat, milk glands and collagen -- the connective tissue that keeps them firm.

Instead of making your bra size go up, however, the added flab can send breasts down, closer to the floor, if you catch our drift.

 Breasts augmentation may lead to suicide

Women who get breast implants are at least three times more likely to commit suicide, a risk that increases with time. As the August 2007 Annals of Plastic Surgery reported, it's unlikely that silicone toxicity causes the correlation. It's more probable that women who undergo breast augmentation are more apt to have an underlying psychiatric problem that predisposes them to suicide.

 Breasts implants can also save you from death
