"Save some money to get implants when you're older" "WHAT? D:"
So one day I was in the waiting room at the doctor's office with my mom (regretted to not have brought Ipod or book to read).
I don't remember much of how it got there but then my mom suddenly went, "You need boob implants." And I was sorta stunned. I mean, I know that she is materialistic (which is why I am one also) but I never knew to the degree of getting plastic surgery! D: I was like, "Uh... why?" and she simply went, "Yours are too small. Sadly you got the genes from my side of the family so your boobs won't get any bigger than that." (Well, last part she sorta implied on.) She is proud at the fact my sister may go up to B-cup when she's older due to the genes she have received from my dad's side. >>; I know I always wanted to be more "endowed" because A-cup is like bleh but jeezus! I am against putting man-made things into my body aside medicine. But then I am sort of worried that I may end up getting breast implants in the future for some stupid reason. O-O So has anyone's parents, peers, whoever, suggested plastic surgery? Your reaction? And have you to someone else? How did they react? Etc, etc. |
Wow. Your...mother is a...different sort of woman. I still don't see anything wrong with A-cups. I've known quite a few guys who said they like small breasts more than big ones. Besides, big ones cause back problems at times.
I've never suggested plastic surgery to anyone. If someone wants to get it, it's their choice. I happen to be of the opinion that some people use types of elective surgery just to try to distract themselves from the fact that they are aging and getting closer to death, but that's just due to my tendency to over-think such things. I think the closest thing anyone in my family has had to it was reconstructive surgery after my sister's face was mauled by a dog. I don't suggest plastic surgery to anyone because I don't like to hurt others' feelings. I know if someone suggested I get plastic surgery like that, I would be offended. |
Whoa. Noo, my mother's actually implied that my breasts are too large. *grumbles* Nothing wrong with A-cups. Seriously? Plastic surgery's the person's choice. I mean, it's kind of like telling someone that their hair is too grey, and they should dye it. Most people would probably consider it rude. (I would just consider it very strange.)
|
Your choice, end of discussion.

That seems so... odd to me, but I guess your mom is a different kind of person than my mom. My step-sister and my brother's girl friend both got implants. I really don't think my step-sister needed it at all. It kinda weirds me out a little too, like, when I go to give her a hug.... Anyway, I would never suggest plastic surgery to someone, unless someone was looking for some way to improve themselves. It's just beyond rude. And what if you mentioned something that someone hadn't thought of before and then they get all self conscious about it. I wouldn't want to put myself in that kind of position.

If I even mention that I want my ears pierced again my mother has a heart attack. She would never suggest plastic surgery and is even against the fact that I take medication for my health problems each day. I wish someone besides myself and my doctor saw her face when she found out that I needed birth control (hormone issues, bleh). It was quite amusing.
I've long since termed her the "conservative hippie." It's fitting, trust me. Honestly, when it comes down to it, it's your choice about what you do to your body. I have A-cup breasts as well and find myself very content with them. I can wear low cut tops and dresses without worrying about my boobs flying everywhere. |
HAHA! Noope I've never been suggested plastic surgery though people say I have big nose.. which I don't! '-' If my mom told me that I'd start cracking up, boobs is such a silly word when emphasized :3 |
How rude! Tell your mom D-Cups are out of fashion. And if she keeps nagging you about it, be sure to bring your iPod.
Just because undergoing surgery is your choice and period. Plus I really don't see any utility on big breasts - in fact, it's harder to find fitting bras with big breasts, and relatively impossible to lie face down without them feeling uncomfortable. And too big makes it harder to find fitting shirts that won't show too much. |
Hmmm...I'm kind of against plastic surgery unless it's absolutely necessary (like you have skin cancer on your nose and they end up having to remove part of it...so you can look 'normal' again. Or perhaps in a nasty accident...etc) and I am kind of shocked that any mother would tell their kid that.
Boobs sag when you get older anyways, and you'll be happier with the smaller ones then. Not to mention most guys prefer natural assets opposed to fakes, and yes you can tell the difference. |
I haven't had such a suggestion from either of my parents (because my mom has a chest large enough that it causes her back pain and my dad just doesn't care)...but I HAVE gotten that exact suggestion from nearly a thousand people.
Honestly, it pisses me off. I'm very flat-chested, you see. Less than an A cup when it comes right down to it. And it doesn't bother me at all. Actually I'm quite pleased with it - works perfectly with how I like to look and everything. Yet people have outright insisted to me that they need to be bigger. I've even had an ex-friend come up to me and tell me I'd "never get a boyfriend" if I didn't get implants. The sad thing is, I HAVE considered plastic surgery for other things about me that I'm not quite pleased with. That's just FAR from one of them. To this day I may or may not. Depends on how I feel about said issues once I've improved as much as I can by less invasive means. Probably the worst blow ever was a few years ago when my therapist implied that I needed plastic surgery. All that time (and money) spent on her helping me learn to do things for myself...and then she implies I'll never be able to look decent without surgery. ...needless to say she got dumped after that one. |
it's sort of wrong for you mum to say something like that to you, there is nothing wrong with having small boobs and well fake boobs feel HORRIBLE and they can sometimes look horrible too, i wouldn't ever get plastic surgery!
|
My mum makes comments on that too (but not to the degree of getting plastic surgery o.o) she says i have small boobs, but im rather fond of my C cup xD I enjoy them like this! lol
There are natural ways to enhance your boobs anyway without plastic surgery, it may only be a little, but there are special tablets you can take which help your boobs grow :yes: |

Make sure you don't hurt your back with them now!

Someone once told me to get lyposuction.. ;_;
I wanted to hit them, and cry. It was so mean |

About the topic, I think your mom is just being silly. She might of even been joking. I wouldn't know but I'm just guessing. About the implants, if you want to get them, then fine. But ONLY if YOU want them, not your mom, not some bf, not boys at school lol, not anyone else. Only you. I personally would never get any kind of plastic surgery because I am lucky to be a healthy human being and am thankful for what I have, but that choice is totally up to you. Don't let anyone talk to you into it either, if you don't want them. |
That's just sad. The world would be a much better place if people weren't so focused on looks. I've heard parents tell their kids worse but that's pretty sad. I'm flat chested and I don't give a damn what other people think. I would never let someone do plastic surgery on me for cosmetic reasons. Honestly, I hate the way fake boobs look and feel. They don't even move the same way as natural breasts do and that alone is a major turn off.
|
I have breasts the size of melons, so if I could, I'd give you some of them. xD;
that's a very strange topic for YOUR MOTHER to bring up. o.O |
That is rather insensitive of you mom, she is probably thinking of her own issues with her breast size, perhaps she assumes that you feel the same.
Every time i joke about surg my mom gawks at me, not because she cant stand surg but just because she really thinks im lovely the way i am. I have C cups and a tiny frame, she says i look like a twig with an ass and breasts xD Right now, i think the only surgery i would get would be a small nose job to lower its profile a bit, not drastic though I think after kids, if my body went all major sag on me, i might consider getting some pick me ups, not barbie doll, but just some little lifts |
That's an awful thing to say to someone... Talk about an esteem wrecker.
But yes, something similar has happened. I was having a particularly bad bout of poor self-esteem and was venting about it to my boyfriend. Saying how I'd never be attractive, etc. He suggested plastic surgery. Nice way to comfort someone, huh? Confirm their fears. |
Ohhh Cherry that's not anyway to be on your good side!
I try not to dig for compliments with my boyfriend, but when I do say I don't like the way I look he always tells me he loves me the way I am. Now he honestly said he wouldn't discourage me loosing weight, but at the same time he has never made any comments to make me feel insecure. I'm still quite shocked though that a mother would say that to her daughter...I'm sure she knows well enough girls are insecure enough as it is. :( |
If she wants you to have them so much she can pay for them. I think the money aspect there is the weirdest part of this, honestly.
Plastic surgery is more of a status thing than anything else. Disposable income, making yourself prettier. |
Breast sizes change every month, not enough for most to notice. It fluctuates with the rest of your body when weigh changes, just like any other part of your body. That is why regular bra fittings are advised, a large percentage of women walk around with the wrong type of bra. (they are supposed to be supportive yet still comfortable)
As for size. What's wrong with an A cup? I am a happy A cup and if I ever need something for a "lift" to fill out a dress, guess what? They sell silicon in stores. You can take them off when you want. No blades, no awkward feeling, no weird floating in the pool, no fear of bursting or leakage, no pain from after surgery and horrible bruising or worrying about scars, no damage to your self esteem. (Try D-Eva Bra if you were looking for something that stays, no glue needed, and works with open backed dresses) Because you are natural, the way you were designed to be that fits your ever changing body. You should be proud of how you look, don't let anyone make you think otherwise. I am noticing more guys I have been talking to (including my bf) prefer smaller girls. If for some reason you wanted to go through with it, put a lot of thought into it first. Really think about why you would want it. It should never be to please or impress someone else. |
my mom has always joked about getting some stuffing into my boobs or getting silicones or stuff liek that.. :roll:and my sister (who has/had an F-cup) used to insult my boobs or "lack of them".... :|
and I'm a freakin' B-cup! To me that size is perfect. I even had a C-cup when I was a little bit chubbier. Didn't like them at all. B-cup is beautiful and fantastic for a person my size. :3 I hate it when someone else has "an opinion" that they feel the need to point out about someone's body. |
lets figure this out from a logical point of view:
Getting the implants 1. Expensive 2. Painful 3. Scars 4. Risky Not getting the implants 1. Costs nothing 2. Not painful 3. No scars 4. No Risk 5. ability to brag when you're 30 that yours don't sag like all of your friends, lol |
