Gerard Lambe, a consultant plastic surgeon at the Reflect Clinic in Manchester and a spokesman for British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons, is one of those surgeons offering the service.

They can be used to show what a woman's breast would look like if they were made bigger or smaller.

Gerard, who has been using the technology for a year, told The Sun Online: "They have been a huge advance, in my eyes.

"I have been doing plastic surgery for a long time and augmentation [making them bigger] was a bit in the stone age.

"You would have three or four sizes (of implants) that would just get stuffed in a bra and the woman would say it looks OK or it doesn't.

"This software allows you to show what a round implant would look like as opposed to a tear drop one, it allows you to simulate what it would look like under the muscle and over the muscle.

    Boobs are boobs, there's nothing wrong with small ones. Meanwhile, fakes have an unnatural shape which is obvious to anyone seeing them uncovered. And if a woman isn't intending to show them off and only wants something bigger to fill her clothes, she might as well spare herself the pain and expense and just stuff her bra.

    They have an unnatural shape (which isn't completely bad; a lot of natural ones get very floppy and ugly with age unfortunately), an unnatural feel from what I've heard, and also a very unnatural-looking scar line on the bottom that you get to see when you get the woman's clothes off.

    Also, it appears that women with augmented breasts have a higher risk of cancer:

    My advice: be happy with what you have, and get into an exercise routine and healthy diet to make the most of what you have.

    Boobs are boobs, there's nothing wrong with small ones.

    I'll go much farther than this: I'd *much* rather a woman have small but firm ones than big, saggy, floppy ones. Once you get past the age of 40 or so, this should be a big concern because any woman you date or marry probably isn't going to be in her 20s any more, so you're not going to find one with a perfect body. The small ones look much, much better with age than the big ones. And as you said, a woman can just get a bigger bra and stuff it if she wants bigger ones in public (except at the beach).
