For pity’s sake, sometimes a boob job is just a boob job.
My sister had breast augmentation surgery a couple of months ago. I never knew she wanted it, or noticed any self-esteem problems, just poof! “By the way Ashes, I’m now a small D cup instead of a AA cup.” I asked why and it was simple: she’s tall and has a medium large frame and was tired of looking unbalanced, and struggling to find clothing that fit properly, and looked good on her, that she found appealing as well.
Yes, some folks have plastic surgery for bad reasons, some people love themselves no matter what, and some people just want to deal with a body issue in a very direct manner and move on. That said, I’d have to do a lot of investigating, consulting with doctors, etc, before I okayed any such surgery for my kid.
At 18, I was a 34B and very happy with it, I could make them bigger if I wanted (push up bra) but they weren’t big enough to be a problem. When I was 19/20 they started to grow (may have had something to do with the pill, but I stopped that years ago and they haven’t shrunk) and are now a 34 DD. I don’t think I’m particularly unusual with this. What would happen if they started to grow if I had implants??? I suspect they would look rather odd, if not be painful.
stately plump, you do seem to have your head about you on the subject. That’s very smart of you to set out a sensible plan of action on the matter. And congratulations on the upcoming graduation.
I’m going to chime in with what has already been said - eighteen is just a bad age. Not because these aren’t women who can make decisions, but because their bodies aren’t done growing yet. And breasts in particular have odd growth patterns (ask anyone who has breastfed). I, too, was much smaller chested at 18 than at 20. And smaller chested at 20 than at 24 - when I grew into my “womanly body” (and then had my daughter at 34 and that was the end of that). Even now, if I put on or loose weight, I’ll see a change in my chest.
For those that encourage the parents to buy their daughters implants… how about their sons? Shouldn’t penal implants for their son’s graduation be equally supported?
Aren’t those more unsafe than breast implants? I mean, I’m not an authority on the subject, but i’d be interested to hear about breast vs. penile implants and what the various and sundry risks are.
