If You Get Budget Breast Implants, Are They Knockoff Knockers?

We have all been there: scrolling through the knockoff designer bags on eBay or Facebook marketplace, looking for one that will fool the casual observer into thinking we can drop a grand on an accessory without blinking an eye.

Knockoff designer accessories are one thing — still questionable, but something we are all tempted by. But knockoff knockers? Oh, girl.

Black Market Boobs

Yes, there are black market boobies you can buy online. If the idea knockoff breast implants surprises you, it shouldn’t. After all, some people are selling their used implants online.

Yes, you read that right.

And in comparison, knockoff implants certainly sound better than second-hand boobs. You can select ones that are perfect for you. You know how old they are and what they contain, and, oh yeah, they haven’t been inside another person’s body.

As far as you know.

But does that mean that they are safe to use? A tip on how to choose a cosmetic surgeon for breast augmentation is to ask them that question. Their response should be: Nope — not at all.

The Brand Name Boob Game

Unlike that handbag, no one will be able to tell just by looking at you who manufactured your implants unless you feel motivated to get their logo tattooed on your boobs. And that can make the knockoff knockers even more tempting. Why not go for the cheaper implants if no one will be able to tell what brand they are?

First of all, the idea that there are brand names and knockoffs in the cosmetic surgery world like there are in fashion is a major misconception. In cosmetic surgery, brand names are FDA approved devices made of known materials from registered manufacturers. They may not have brand recognition at the household level, but they are trusted by the people who matter.

And that means that knockoff implants are not comparable versions of a well-known product: they are unregulated and likely dangerous items of questionable origin that you are paying someone to put in your body.

Which brings us to the next issue…

Reputable Surgeons Won’t Use Knockoffs

Not sure how to choose a cosmetic surgeon for breast augmentation? Well, one sign to write off a surgeon is if they are willing to use black market implants.

A quality surgeon will only use quality materials.

No reputable surgeon would even consider using implants sourced from questionable or unknown manufacturers. Not only is bad for business to use inferior products, but they would be risking prison time. If you approach a doctor about the possibility and they seem willing to get on board with the plan, walk out and find a new surgeon.

In the end, if you are looking to invest in yourself, you might as well give yourself the best. And knockoff knockers are not it. There are numerous breast implant options that you can choose from, all while knowing you are getting a product that is safe.
