Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community - View Single Post - Getting breast implants at hubby's request?

I've considered implants. It would be nice not to be so small, to actually have breasts that aren't smaller than most guys who've lost a lot of weight recently. D's would be wildly out of place on my small frame, but B's would, I think, be nicely proportionate. I've even done enough research to know the precise type and procedure. Grace hates the idea, and that's likely the only reason I've not done it.

I can never fault someone for wanting plastic surgery to feel better about herself, especially given what I've seen it do for my sister these past two years, and what I've seen it do for several transwomen I've known.

However, it should be something done to improve one's view of oneself, not to please others. This gets tricky, though, in that the reaction of others to one's appearance can be an element contributing to or detracting from one's self-esteem. I think I'm fortunate to be in that middle ground where, other than being flat-chested, I'm almost perfectly average looking. I can blend in in ways that my more shapely and attractive sister and wife can't, and to tell the truth wouldn't want to.

The woman in the OP seems unappy with what she's had done. It's likely left her less happy than she was previously, which is a shame, because that's the opposite of the intent.
