We are told from the moment we are born that women need to have big and nicely shaped breasts. Of course a lot of women don't like their breasts. I don't like my breasts and all of my female friends also don't like theirs. I still need to find a woman who likes her breasts.

I love my breasts and they are natural, haha. So, I guess I'm a rarity? Sure, I've got a few friends that don't like theirs, but I also have friends who are perfectly fine with them. And I don't think I have any close friends who have had breast surgery solely for cosmetic reasons, and I live in Los Angeles, lol.
Why does it have to specifically be for a male gaze anyway? I've got lesbian friends who love to see their girlfriends in revealing clothing, and why is that wrong? Or why is that okay, but the same in a straight relationship wrong?
I think you are pushing your own agenda and ideas a little too hard here for the sake of trying to make your own point, when it is not such a black and white, right or wrong topic.
A lot of this is written from a western standpoint as well, for example, to push this back into relevancy, large breasts are not at all prized in Japan; it's considered a fetish to like them. I know this from personal experience of years being over there, but they did also do a survey where it was found that the ideal size is a D (which is actually an american B cup; small but with shape). Hence the reason for all the Japanese articles about Ayu's breasts being too big and gross. They aren't big and gross because people think they are implants over there; it's because large breasts are generally considered to be not something you should flaunt unless you are a porn star catering to a specific fetish market. So in that case, Japanese women with naturally smaller breasts are the ones that are conforming to standards for the Japanese male gaze....so should the answer be they all get implants so that they become intentionally less desirable? Wouldn't reshaping your body then be considered a good thing? I'm not saying I agree with that at all; what I'm saying is, see how many ways this can go?
In short, your views of your own breasts and everyone else's are not the views of every woman or every culture in the world.
