Welcome to the BreastImplants411 Discussion Forum!
BreastImplants411 provides a safe, supportive environment for participants to interact in conversations regarding all aspects of breast augmentation. The BI411 Discussion Forum is a place for participants to ask questions, share actual experiences, offer guidance and discuss personal issues with women who have had or are considering breast augmentation. The Forum is also a great place to make new friends!
In 1997, we sensed a growing community of women who could benefit from a forum focused specifically on breast augmentation topics and created the BreastImplants411 Discussion Forum. Since then, the Forum has grown to include over 7000 members. We appreciate the members’ input and are proud that together we have been able to benefit so many women.

The BI411 Forum is intended to be a Women’s Only Forum
BI411 has initiated the following procedures to ensure the safest environment possible on the Forum. BI411 requires that new members call the BI411 Office to activate their membership. Email addresses are not displayed and are not accessible by any other Forum user. IP addresses are also not displayed to be tracked. This is done for the safety of the members. Also BI411 will NEVER sell or disclose any personal information from the Forum to a third party. Even with these procedures in place, it is still the responsibility of Forum members to use discretion when disclosing any personal information.
The format of the Forum provides a place for its members to openly communicate with other members about topics that are of their personal interest and relevance. The administration will monitor, but not interfere with, the content of the Forum, unless a problem arises.
If a problem arises, the administration has the right to edit, remove or lock posts or message threads that it feels is in violation of these rules and guidelines, at its sole discretion.
The administration also has the right to lock-out, suspend, or bar ANY member from the Forum without notice or consent. In some cases, in order to discontinue a disruptive thread, the administration may lock-out a group of members. Locking-out a member is not intended to be an insult to the member’s character, but a way to diffuse inappropriate communications as quickly as possible.
2) Arbitration: If you were not involved with a disruptive posting, but were inadvertently locked-out as part of a disruptive thread, then you may request to be reinstated. Please contact the administration. Upon review, which may take several days, the administration may reinstate non-disruptive members.
