My op is on Sunday still haven’t told my dad sounds so stupid I know I’m 27 this year 3 kids but yet to scared to tell him . It’s making me worry myself silly and not look forward to my new boobs. Anyone have any advice ti make me feel better or being in my shoes ? Everyone else knows even my 9 year old daughter x
Hi Hun,
I’m the same I’ve asked my mum to tell my dad for me to give him
Chance to come round to the idea xx
Hi Kirsty,
Sorry your feeling this way.
My dad knew for years how unhappy I was about my breast but I think he just thought I would never actually have the op, but when it finally came around he finally understood how important it was for me. He has been really supportive as much as he can. I think it must be weird for our dads!
I’m sure once you explain to him how your feeling he can only be supportive.
Hope all goes well Hun x
Hi π I haven’t had a dad in my life but I can imagine what your going through I’d probably be the same! All my family know & friends, even work colleagues! I’m too excited to not tell people haha but I haven’t and still don’t think I’m going to tell my fellas mum and dad π and we live with them! I just don’t think it’s their business as they know everything else going on in my life, bloody annoys me! Lol I’m sure your dad will be okay, text him lol that way you don’t have to face him and gives him time to think about it! X
I am 21 and I like that with my dad but best thing todo when u with him just say and maybe he won’t even say anything my dad is very strict but I just told him and he was ok he didn’t say much but if it makes u happy he come round I no it’s hard but u be ok and u need to be happy and not let this put u down coz it’s something that u really want x
I’m 10 weeks post op and still haven’t told my dad or my sister. Only my mum and some close friends know xx
Hii, I know what you mean about the Dad thing, it’s nerve wracking as we’re still they’re little ones no matter how independent we are! I didn’t tell my parents when I was going for consultations, and eventually I sat them down and just said this is what i want to do and it will make me ten times happier! and they appreciated my honesty although they don’t necessarily agree whole heartedly, they understand now that it was my choice, hope it goes well for you xx
Hi I’m 27 3 kids and have rang my dad 3 times with the intention of telling him but still haven’t done it :/ so I can totally sympathise with you.
I’m going to have to tell him tho my sisters seem to think he won’t notice pmfsl but I’m very sure he will do :/
Thank u girls π I know it’s so silly and at the end of the day it’s my body And I’m doing it for my own reasons .
My mum I didn’t mind I told her straight away she just said in crackers , my dads silence was enough when I told him about my first consultation and I didn’t mention it again .
I’ve called him to tell him he was even at myn today doing my front door lol I just couldn’t get the words out lol .

I’ve not told my Dad yet & I’m 4 weeks post op Friday! xxxxx
It’s not silly Hun…can imagine it can be hard to tell dads. I’m just over 2 weeks post op and haven’t told my dad…don’t think I will either. I’ve only told my mummy π
i’m 20 & my op is tuesday, I also haven’t told my dad or my childminder (equally as important but all my other family knows including my nan and grandad’s etc). I have 2 girls and also like you have been worrying like mad about telling him. I’m gonna tell him on Monday and going to say I have found it difficult to tell him as I didn’t know what his reaction would be, I am going to tell him that I booked it 8 weeks ago, that it’s my choice and not to worry. (I don’t think he will question it tbh so don’t need to go in to detail) i’m just worried that he’s disappointed or afterwards when people who don’t know ask him and he get’s embarrassed or if it effects him in anyway.. I wasn’t going to tell him at all or my childminder (but they will realize and it is totally 100% better coming from me rather than one of my nosy family members or friends. good luck hun xx
im the same hun! so scared to tell my mum with only 2 weeks to go – I know she will think I am wasting my money! xx
Ahhh I. Pretty sure if you just told him how unhappy with yourself you are then he’d encourage you. Dads only want us to be happy. I lost my dad four years ago now, I know he’d of gone mental an probs marched to Preston if I’d of done it behind his back (regardless of my age) however my mum and stepdads have been mega supportive as they know how much it means to me. They’ve actually paid for it for me I’ll be forever grateful! If you can’t find the words maybe a txt or get another family member to tell him for you, he might be mad or disappointed at first. It doesn’t last π good luck girls on your boobie birthdays! I won’t be far behind xxx
It’s terrible really I’ve always being self conscious when I was younger I was always the bigger 1 out of my friends now I shift the weight I loose boobs I’m not doing it for anyone else but myself no1 knows how u feel about urself apart from yourself . I know I’m not gonna tell him lol he will say excactly same as that he always helps us out with money problems and always there we cleared all our debts now I’ve put holiday and boobs on credit card. My dads the only reason I’m not looking forward to having the op . Parents will always see us as perfect in there eyes . X
Exactly! I’m in the same boat as you tbh boob wise! Use to have a good set! N now it’s like someone’s deflated them π tiny boobs! There just so empty now it’s unreal! I need these implants ASAP! Xx
When i told my parents…i text them saying i have something to tell you and that might not be to happy with and didn’t want to tell dad but i told mum and then she told dad… And dad was more supportive than mum. He was fine about it and saying most the girls at his office have them and he was like it will boost your confidence. And he understands why in getting it done. As long as it doesn’t get out to my nan and grandad in fine lol
Just do what you feel comfortable with hun. I was scared to tell my dad as i felt i was letting him down or being selfish now I’m a mom. However he was suprisingly fine and even dropped cheesy dad jokes how my boyfriend wouldn’t buy me a puppy but was happy to buy me two ‘puppies’ cringe lol. Just had to reassure him I wouldn’t come home looking like a blow up doll and was doing it for my own reasons. Xx
