Do I? Don't I?......

Hey all
I joined up last week, spoke to friends (who all encouraged me), booked some consultations for next week... and generally got VERY excited at the prospect of having Boobies!!!! (Still am very excited!)

Now, a few days later, I'm looking in the mirror and thinking..can't I just live with what I've got? I've managed so far. I've been single for 2 years, is this the reason i'm doing it?!! What if I do it and regret spending the money, or if something goes wrong?

I know this is normal and to be honest I want to question myself as much as possible to ensure I do the right thing. I'm sure I'll have more doubts about spending the money, putting myself through surgery, dealing with other peoples opinions etc etc
Is it worth it just for boobs....am I being vain?

I know the answers to all this already, just wanted to share.

I'm going to start a list of pros and cons and reasons I want this .......I love lists! lol

Hey macca,

I'm sure it's a good thing! Despite first thinking about it 10 years ago I never really considered having a BA as a real possibility until February this year. I went to my first consultation and then had another with the same surgeon the following week. I went from feeling like I wanted to book it that day and being all excited to having totally talked myself out of it by the following day. I think it was only by questioning it that I realised it is the right thing to do for me.

I wouldn't call it vanity, it's about self pride and confidence which isn't a bad thing. I'm sure most people would change one thing about themselves if they really had the opportunity.

Good idea about making the list, it'll help you sort it out in your own mind even though you probably know what's best for you deep down.

I know exactly how you feel! especially as the month is drawing to an end and money is low! thinking about all that money sitting there and what we could spend it on!!

Just ask yourself if you can honestly live with having small boobs for the rest of your life? if you think you can I would say don't do it, or do it another time. I often look at mine and think, well actually you're ok, rather sweet.......then I bend over and they go all ugly and weird and I just simply know that they need to be 'fixed'.
You have to be sure honey....sounds to me like you are, just normal nerves kicking in. We're all in the same boat and have the same feelings, that's why it's great to share.

It's totally normal to feel like this hun. After my first consult and having all the complications pointed out to me I thought I could actually just live with my boobs the way they were. They still domimated every day though - how crap I felt I looked every day! It took me a year to book a second consult and book the op. I think you know deep down whether its the right thing for you. For me its not vanity or anything like that - its about confidence and the difference it makes is massive! I didn't want 'big' boobs just the ones I had nicely filled up. Yes the complications can happen to anyone and you have to be prepared for that small possibility.
Spending the money is a big thing but I always thought I would rather have new boobs than say a holiday coz on holiday I would still feel crap in a bikini!!
Good luck hun,

I think your doing the right thing weighing up the pros and cons. If your not sure then it might not be the right thing for you to do just yet. Have the consults and speak to surgeons and contiune to post on here. Then a 6months time if you still feel you want it look into it again then.

It is alot of money and people do sadly have opinions about ba's but it is so totally worth it and you dont have to tell many people but people do chose to judge then the way I see it, its their problem not mine. xx

Thanks guys

Its good to know everyone has these feelings, and after reading around the posts on this forum I can see its normal.
I love this forum! Reading everyones stories really makes the enthusiasm rub off on you

Stories are the best thing to read. Even the few that have had complications know that once they're sorted out, they'll have the figure they always wanted.

But like you say, it's about sorting the pros and cons. If there are more cons then it's time to think again. If there are more pros... then go for it!
