“…Even when informed, women may not have the necessary resources to choose the best alternative either due to problems of understanding information or immaturity, for example. Surgeries performed in adolescence or early youth occur when breastfeeding and pregnancy compete with more immediate and concrete plans, for example, with the desire for an ideal of beauty (1)(2)(3) . The Interactive Theory of Breastfeeding points to the woman's body image as a precursor to breastfeeding, which converges with the findings of this study.…”

“…The decision-making of these women was limited, in which most of them disregarded the effects of mammoplasty on breastfeeding, facing doubts and/or questions only years after the surgery when they became pregnant (1,21) . In the conceptual framework of the theory, organizational systems of protection, promotion and support are related to other previously discussed elements, emerging as compensation resources to deal with the constraints arising from inadequate biological conditions for breastfeeding (9) .…”

“…Destacamos a quarta controvérsia, na qual há um processo de naturalização da reposição do estrogênio e progesterona, hormônios que são percebidos como femininos na nossa sociedade, mas há discordâncias sobre a prescrição de testosterona para mulheres, mesmo que estudos apontem a diminuição das taxas dessa substância com a velhice (Edmonds & Sanabria, 2016;Preciado, 2008).…”

“…The essential locus of intervention to consolidate the emergence of this healthy norm is the body of aging individuals, now called to act to mitigate harmful effects of the aging process (such as disease and dependence), which should be delayed, or even, if possible, stopped. This is how, along with individual health accountability and, more generally, the way one ages, we witness today the expansion of a wide market of products whose purpose muddles health promotion and enhancement (Edmonds;Sanabria, 2016). From drugs that improve cognitive, sexual or social performance to "natural" products developed in large production and distribution chains for the same purpose, encompassing prescribed or illicit use of hormonal therapies, up to resorting to cosmetic or prosthetic surgeries and the use of cosmetics, reaching the field of regenerative medicine, "enhancement technologies" are generally defined as interventions targeted at improving human functioning or characteristics beyond what would be strictly necessary to repair the body, regarding health maintenance (PCB, 2003).…”
