A plastic surgeon in New York is giving clients the opportunity to test out "Insta breasts" before buying the real, fake thing.

Currently, Dr. Norman Rowe injects a saline solution into patients that lasts 24 hours, to let them get the feel of what it's like to have actual implants. Rowe told ABC News that he's had clients come back for injections a second time, still unsure if they're ready for the commitment. "You can use 3D imaging and put implants in bras, but it's another thing to see what the weight will actually feel like and what it will be like to live with the new breasts," he said.
