(you all seem really sweet) The most important thing here is for such a young girl KK you seem like a very sincere friend. I'm sure you supported your friend during and afterwards. No matter how hard, cos that's what friends do. As it has almost been 12 months since your original post I'm curious to know how your friend is? Does she love her new boobs? Is she happy inside & out?? Are you guys still best mates? Does she understand the point you were trying to make? A lot of my friends think that getting plastic surgery done is so vain & we should be happy with what we were given. However, as time goes by they are starting to come around to the idea... I'm yet to get my surgery done (this year I hope) but its not for my friends, my kids, my hubby or others... Its simply for ME and why not. God there are other parts of my body that I need work on. But nothing a little bit of HARD WORK wont fix. After breastfeeding my hungry little babies I have very undesirable breasts, and no diet or exercise is ever going to prop them back up the way the once were. Oh yeah & Just for the record DocKnockers, Wankers like you should be able to have brain implants. You have small minded & small appendage syndrome. & I bet your short too. lol Just one persons opinion. All the best.

I underwent breast augmentation surgery when i was 20 and it was the best decision i have ever made. I did it 100% for myself, and i feel so much better about myself (i went from an AA to a B). Plastic surgery is a very personal choice, and no one can decide whether to do it or not other than the person themselves. It is very unlikely that breast will grow past the age of 18, let alone 19-20. And the way surgery is done these days is VERY unlikely that it will hurt anyone's chances of breast feeding. The scars fade very quickly (i am 6 months post op now and they're invisible- i had them under my breasts), and all i am left with now are fantastic breasts that i was meant to have. You never know how people feel unless you are them. So best thing you could've done is be there for your friend and support her, instead of trying to talk her out of it. My best friend was there with me from the time i told her i was going to do it till 1 month after the surgery when everything was back to normal (+ fantastic breasts :P). And, there was no way i was going to feel so good about doing it if it wasn't for her.

Yes it's expensive but it gave me back what pregnancy took away and I have never regretted my choice. I'm sane there's nothing wrong with me, the only thing thats changed is that my confidence is so much greater than before. The support of my friends and family was very important before and after the surgery. How could you not be there for her? I’m 24 and I’ve had a boob job.. in fact I’ve had 2!

Think of it this way: a little time and a little money now for a lifetime of happiness, or skipping it and being miserable forever. Is it still a tough choice? Let's talk more about this in our e-mail discussion. kk I think looking into BDD treatment is a good idea.

It was discouraging. If I never had to leave my house, I totally wouldn't do this. I love sleeping on my stomach.

"Too embarrassed," if you don't want a boob job, don't get one honey! You are allowed to like anything you want, and that includes your body the way it is now. It sounds as if the money for your boob job would be better spent talking to a professional about building up your low self esteem. I hope so much that this post and all these responses will help you change your mind. What?! “Too embarrassed,” if you don’t want a boob job, don’t get one honey!

Totally and completely sucks. I feel like I'm not allowed to like myself the way I am (small). It's a life of shame and it sucks. I am signed up for a boob job that I don't want on Dec. 4, but I feel like I need it to fit in at work. I'm 37 years old and have a bachelor's degree. It is so pathetic.

I beg to differ DocKnockers! (But I see the point you're trying to make, haha.) Several years ago, before I knew I had bipolar disorder (and was therefore running a muck with no treatment or even idea of why I was compelled to do what I was doing), I got myself into a world of...well, let's just say sh**. If it weren't for my college degree - and education, because let's face it, sometimes those degrees really are just pretty pieces of paper - I'd probably still be living at my parents trying to figure out what the crap to do with myself in the aftermath. I have "small tits" and Lord knows <i>they</i> wouldn't have gotten me anywhere, haha. Kristen, if you're reading this, have you done an update on how your friend's life is going (mentally, too) now that the surgery's been performed? I apologize if you have and I just haven't seen it - my computer was fried for a while and I'd been limiting Internet use to work only. Ha! I beg to differ DocKnockers!
