HELP: Need to talk a friend out of plastic surgery...

[ImHis]

break augmentation. She *is* flat-chested so I understand but :ohno

Good quality padded bras do wonders. :)

She is of so much more value as a person and worth WAY more to God than what her cup size is and until she fully realizes that IMO I don't believe she ought to even remotely consider modifying herself.

This site would do it for me.

Warning, some of those photos are pretty icky. There are also some scantily clad pics, showing bad breast surgery. No actual nudity as far as I've ever seen.

Why do you want to talk her out of it? Just curious. What are her reasons for having it done? Is she a Christian?

Why do you want to talk her out of it? What is the reason for her having the surgery. A good plastic surgeon will do a good questionaire and find out the true reasons and if they aren't good ones will not do the surgery. A good plastic surgeon will also keep the breasts in good proportion to the rest of the body, not like some of those you see on TV. They will look natural as if they were meant to be that way.

I have tried to talk my sister out of cosmetic surgery many times. I don't think you can talk her out of it.

I agree with Kathe. A good plastic surgeon will find out the true reasons. If she is really that flat chested, then it is a self conscious issue with her. If she has it done, it may boost her confidence and she'll look and feel more like a woman. I don't see anything wrong with having it done. I certainly don't see it as a salvation issue. It's not any different than coloring your hair, or wearing makeup; it's just that she has to be put under and it's permanent. It's her business.

Why?
Well she claims Jesus as her savior,,,I don't think its a matter of salvation...

But I thought that in most cases, women have to get them replaced after so many years, then you hear about scarring, pain, hardening, horror stories, etc. That's one reason.

I also think she might change afterwards, dress differently, behave differently, etc.

It's her business.

I tend to agree with this. I avoid drama like the plague! I am usually the voice of reason who stays out of people's business,,,, but when friends and family make (what you might think of as) *unwise choices* usually *you* are the one who they come to mop up the mess.:ohno
