I really feel for you hun, it’s a tough thing to go through without support. All I can say is how I feel and I do not regret anything . I couldn’t be happier with the result. It feels so good to have boobs, I can’t tell you 🙂 x

Hi Kirsty – nerves and pre-op worries are totally normal and part of the process, you’ll be fine. I just had Vaser lipo yesterday and am so pleased I did it (and I’m over 50, so it was a huge thing for me). I wanted to cancel about 3 weeks before due to sheer nerves and reading bad stories. Yes there are risks but there are many more happy stories than bad. One thing I would say is find a very good friend who loves and supports you to be with you on the day and help you immediately after. You need that support to help not only emotionally, but also for running around to get you stuff when you are resting. Good luck and keep talking to supportive people, avoid the others xxx

That’s awful Kirsty, my mum was the same for a while – she said I’d regret it and didn’t understand why I’d want to change myself, but I sat down with her, spoke through my reasons for wanting surgery (there are loads), and gave her some medical information about it, and said that I knew what the risks were, most of which are rare, and even the more common ones don’t happen that often. I asked her how she would feel without the support of her mother if she was doing something like this to herself because it’s a vulnerable place to be in – you have cosmetic companies to deal with, surgeons to deal with and you have to research it all yourself, plus you’re so desperate to look and feel better about yourself… So yeah, she finally got it and told me she’d want to be there for me if she could.

I think just talking about it plainly is a good thing. And if your family can’t support you, just go for it – you only live once and you should be happy during your life.
I’m sure once you’ve had the surgery they’ll see how happy it makes you and they’ll be more supportive.

A lot of people think people want boobs for attention or to change their lives, but that’s not realistic. One of my friends told me that I was a big fake for wanting boobs, but I think that is maybe to do with women competing with each other. She didn’t get that having no boobs makes me miserable. But it’s not about other people – we’re the ones doing it, it’s about us being happy! 🙂 Go be happy! 🙂 xx

My mum has been the same but during the summer when she saw how conscious I was in a bikini it made her realise how unhappy I was about my boobs and is even contributing to them now 🙂 xxx
