In most cases I'm against it, although like most things I support the right to choose. If someone really thinks it will improve their self confidence that much (or believe it will give them the edge in som "vocational" capacity), then I can understand why someone would do it.

Having said that, the thought of someone I cared about being cut open like that fills me with dread, so I'd be trying to talk them out of it!

What scared me about the conversation on the other board was the flippancy about the op - I mean it's not nipping down the road for a haircut, this is serious damage being done to a body and the weeks or months after for the bruising to heal. Shows like 'Extreme Makeover' are endemic of a society that believes by fixing the vaneer they somehow fix the inside as well. I think it's terribly unhealthy.
 
It is a sad reflection of the shallowness of society.

However these young girls live in that society and if it makes them feel happier then thats for them to decide.

Having felt plastic and flesh im all for natural, although fake does apply a certain kink to the proceedings.

I think if the way you look is making you desperately unhappy then there's no reason why plastic surgery can't make a good impact on your life. I.e if you've severely depressed because of the way your boobs look, then it can only benefit your peace of mind if you have them changed.

I don't think it should be available to under 21's though. I don't think you are happy with your body anyway when you're a youngster, you might make a rash decision! 8O

To be fair he only says it to try and freak me out (and it works 8O ). I think he read it in a magazine somewhere. to the best of my knowledge no context was given.

But there's a deeper problem. If you're unhappy about the way you look it's because society has created some ideals of perfection that few of us can reach, and because we've been conditioned to believe that our self worth is somehow linked to how close we can get to those ideals.

For me, it's my weight (and more recently, a bit of thinning in the hair). Fortunately, going on a diet for a couple of weeks doesn't require surgery, and I can always go with the shaved-head look when the hair gets too thin.

In most cases, I think the answer is not plastic surgery but learning to accept who and what we are, being comfortable in our skin, and learning to love ourselves.

Plastic surgery is a slippery slope - "I've fixed that so why not fix something else now?" or "It's not quite as I wanted so lets do a little more work." Therapy is cheaper - and in the long run better for your mental health.
 
For me at least, I think that every pair of boobs large or small have their own merits. Silicone implants are sheer, wanton vandalism.
 
One of my regular punters had it done earlier this year. She has since had her 21st birthday. I told her beforehand, it was not needed as I thought she had lovely nice (small) boobs.

She went to Greece to have it done on a package type holiday with the hotel and flights all part of the deal. Cost her something like £2,500-£3,000, much cheaper than having it done here in the UK. When she returned she was really happy about it, lifted her blouse to show me the scars and even let me have a gentle squeeze. 8O I was very gentle as I was scared of hurting her.

Since then she has found herself a regular boyfriend and is talking marraige. So her self-confidence has probably had a great boost and it has worked out for her.

Agreeing with everything you're saying Morbyd.

I was always of the 'if it makes you happy/confident etc etc then go for it' but as I get older I have begun to look at it a bit differently.

Surgery for these reasons is essentially that something on the outside is messing with the inside (head, feelings, confidence etc), so 'fix' the outside and all will be fine. I think it would be better for the individual concerned to have a look at the inside and try to 'fix' that - then maybe the previous anxieties about the body would not exist as the confidence is there now :?:
 
all this pyscho babble is very interesting but maybe some people are shallow and just want bigger tits?

Its their choice isn't it?
