telling the parents Started by: Kirsty

How old are you if you dint mind me asking x I went to all my consultation b4 I took told any one. That way I could answer all there questions x

I’ve just told my parents and they are surprisingly supportive!! Do your research and have it all to show them and answer any questions 🙂 I went to a consultation first to get all the info pack and answer my questions with my patient coordinator. Good luck Hun 🙂 xx

Couse chick.. im 23 and was worried about telling my mum. Was really nervous but I plucked up the courage and told her she went with me x

I told my mum and she wasn’t thrilled about it but more about putting myself through surgery as she had a bad experience but she knows how much it gets me down so is happy if it will make me happy 🙂 not that she could do anything about it if she didn’t want me to have it done! X

I’m 38 and still couldn’t tell my mum! I had to tell her last week though as I went for rhinoplasty and she came with me, the nurse asked me about previous operations so it all came out…………xxxx

I told my mum couple of days ago and she has been constantly in my case trying to put me off! I keep telling her that I’ve done my research and it’s what I want. If you are certain I’m sure your parents will be fine! They are supposed to worry etc . Good luck! X

Just tell them how it makes you feel and make sure you’re well researched to answer their questions so you seem more serious about it 🙂

i was 19 when i told my mum last year and i ended up crying trying to explain myself. When i went to my first consult i could answer loads of questions and i think my research put her mind at ease xx

I’ve only told one of my sisters who’s response was ‘WTF??’ i just said told her ‘I’m going to pretend you said ‘if that’s what you want I’ll support you’. Other than that my best friend is the only one I’ve told (she’s my 24hr chaperone for the op). I’m hoping my dad won’t notice and I don’t plan on telling my mum, she’s not the supportive type :/ Tbh my attitude is I’m doing it for me, not for anyone else, it’s my body, my money and my life. 🙂 xxx

Oh god this is my fear. I’m thinking not to tell her but then she will notice and then I have concerns like what if something bad happens. Just being silly. Booked in for the 26th march so going to have to tell her at some point :-S xx
