After Baby, Looking in the Mirror by BiancaSuccess Stories Index I was never really happy about my body. I was in great shape and honestly never had a problem dating, but was still very insecure about myself. The thought of even considering Beast Augmentation was, at the time, pathetic. I thought, how low my self esteem must be to be considering any options at all. I heard all these horror stories and was reluctant to even begin research and look into it.
Then I had my first baby. At first it was exciting to see that my breasts had enlarged somewhat but was depressed, really depressed to find them deflated after time. Not only was I depressed, but my breasts looked depressed, like sad little faces. It bothered me constantly, it was all I could think about. Then it began. The search. I thought it wouldn't hurt just to take a peek at what was out there. I couldn't help myself, I became obsessed, it was all I could do. Even at work I would sneak onto the internet looking for information regarding breast implants and breast augmentation.
I was very anal about the process, this is my body after all, I need to make sure it's in good hands.
After a long and arduous search, I found my doctor. I was scared my first day walking into the office. I didn't know what to expect, but the staff there was so wonderful... I'm actually tearing up just thinking about them! Anyway, they were so comforting and caring, and when I finally went to go see the doctor, he made me feel so much at ease.
I thought I'd want a female doctor, but it didn't bother me that he was male. He was very kind, courteous and professional. He made all these great suggestions after hearing my wants and needs and we both agreed upon mutual details. He wasn't trying to sell me anything, or convince me of what he thought was best. Instead he listened to the things I wanted and then applied his professional opinion, to come to a mutual understanding of what was best for me. I mean come on, a man that listens! I appreciated that so much.
He assured me that my insecurities were not out of being vain. Instead he likened them to the idea that, because I'm a woman, my physical appearance not only represents me superficially, but it's a defining aspect of being a woman. And when that aspect is not in harmony, it throws off the balance of feeling like a woman. It makes sense. What woman doesn't want to feel like a woman?
I don't like to live with regrets. I was worried I would regret getting breast implants, but the truth is, getting breast augmentation surgery was one of the best things I have ever done for myself. My confidence is better than ever, I am happier and enjoy life a lot more. I haven't looked back. I feel that much better! Superficial or not, at least I can wake up in the morning and enjoy life – and enjoy looking at myself too.
