Breast Augmentation?

I am scheduled for breast augmentation next Monday and it seems like everyone is against me. I have had low self esteem for many years because of my flat chest and I am excited to look nice. Am I being selfish to do this? Should I save my money and just learn to live with what I have? Help.

1. life's too short to worry about what other people are thinking, hun. If this is going to improve your confidence and make you feel better about yourself, you have made the right decision! It is a painful recovery process, but I'm sure your surgeon has already explained that to you. If you're willing to spend the money and go through that recovery process, that probably means this is something important to you. And if it will make you love your body more, then it is worth it. I know people probably are going to be critical of your choice, but there's nothing wrong with what you're doing. As far as I can tell, you have a good head on your shoulders and have pinpointed what exactly you want to change, and you've come up with a solution. so, I hope it goes well for you, and best of luck! :)
2. Without seeing I cannot know. If it makes you happy I say do it. But remember guys will not be looking you in the eyes ever again! Can you live with that?
3. You do whatever you want with your body. But if you are having doubts right now, that should be a red flag to you and you should wait it out. I can tell you that damage is done to your body when you have implants, and from a medical standpoint (that isnt in the cosmetic industry), I would not recommend it.
4. you are a little selfish to do this. if you are single. and you feel that you have no best body part, then shure, but its expensive, and if i had a gf who looked nice and she was flat chested, Iwouldn't care. becuase i like a girl for who they are, not for what they look like.
5. You should do what you want to do, and if it means adding more "up there", then more power to ya. I hope that ultimately you can find it within yourself to have higher self-esteem on your own, other than how you look, but to me this doesn't have as much to do with looks. A guy should like you for you and not how you look, in reality. Unfortunately, it's hard to know this with the media as it is these days, and the fact that some guys really are pigs. But, there are good guys out there who can like you for you. The woman I was with longest in my life had small breasts, and it didn't matter to me. What attracted me the most was her, and she was plenty attractive enough otherwise without needing to have large breasts. Don't get me wrong, I'm not against augmentation or anything. It's up to the woman if that's what she wants to do. Some women use makeup to look better, others buy expensive clothes or workout like crazy at the gym to make themselves more attractive. The way I see it, this isn't really any different in reasoning. Be careful about going to far with them, tho'. I also had a gf who had really large implants, and they were kind of hard and unnatural feeling as a result. They looked fine, but I think it would have been better if they weren't as big. Just a personal opinion.
6. In this day and age of plastic beauty we are pressured to conform to standards that are not exactly normal, but your wish is perfectly normal. I believe you already talked to a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon who already checked out with you all breast implant options and products, and the condition of your skin. I hope you elected a realistic size, because some think that enormous boobs are great. I can tell you they are not. Your neck hurts, your back hurts, you have a hard time finding clothes and nice lingerie that will fit. I also hope that you have talked to your doctor as to whether this will affect breastfeeding if you are planning to have children, someday and if you need to check your implants every ten years. If you have done all your homework and are satisfied, well go ahead, but do it informed. As to those everyone that are against it, well, too bad, this is a personal decision and although you listen to their reasons and respect and tolerate them, they should do likewise, after all, this will boost your self esteem and that is wonderful, if only all self esteem problems could be solved as easily. Go for it and good luck
7. I have wanted to get this done too, I think my clothes will fit better, I could wear tops that are revealing and be a little more proportionate. If you've talked to your doctor and understand the pros and cons than I think you are ready. It is not hard to understand why you would want to have breast augmentation. Good Luck! and Go for it!
8. Don't be ridiculous!! You are not selfish at all. It is your money and your choice so do not worry about what others think. I had a Breast reduction last week, I went from a 34G to a 34DD- one of the reasons I had it done was due to back pain, but my biggest reason was because I wanted to look nice in clothes. A lot of people thought I was stupid to have this done and a lot have not supported me but it's my money so I don't care if people think that I am vain, etc. Most people who have this opinion are jealous for various reasons- don't let them get to you. My employer had implants last year, she went from a 30A to a 30C and they look beautiful and natural and they have made her not only happy and confident, but she looks great in bikinis and singlets now. Congratulations, you will love your new boobies and your new selection of clothing :)
9. It is impossible to measure human suffering. A flat chest may be unimportant to one individual; however, in another it can produce emotional discomfort. Aesthetic surgery can truly satisfy many needs and often will provide the extra measure of inner confidence, which may otherwise be difficult to achieve. Perhaps it seems that everyone is against you because they are afraid of the risks involved. MInimize the risks by going to a qualified surgeon who is board certified in plastic surgery and not in another speciality.
