Ever had or wanted necessary surgery...(but it considered unnessary)?

[chasemanzmum]

I have always wanted a breast reduction. And believe I would benefit from it. But don't have the money necessary.

Everyone speak up about what you want and what you need for that kind of thing

I used to want implants, but I'm sure as hell glad I didn't get them, b/c now that I weigh 200lbs, my breast are at least 50lbs. of that...Be careful what you wish for...and be happy with who you are. We have so much to deal with on the inside, that I try not to dwell on the outside. Of course, there are things that you have to pay attention to, like hygeine, haircuts, a little makeup sometimes maybe, just to give yourself a pick-me-up, but past that, I don't dwell on the outside of me...I understand though if you think a breast reduction may be helpful for health reasons.

if it is for health reasons then i say yes look into it...anything then no.
we are born to be a certain way,ignore media perceptions of what they think we should be.
erach person has a unique quality about them learn to enjoy that

I want a breast reduction as well... These things are too damn heavy to keep carrying around!
But I know all I have to do is lose this f*&$ing weight and they will reduce themselves.

Exactly..like I said, when I was skinny I was fine with my boobs, but now I don't have real boobs, they are some kind of "fried chicken" boobs, not really made of boobs, do I even make sense? I make sense to me, but, oh well

I have had too many necessary surgeries to even think about one that might be cosmetic in nature.  I don't see anything wrong with cosmetic surgery I just could not bring myself to intentionally put myself in more pain for something that was strictly speaking, not necessary.

I don't think that it was necessary but I had breast implants about 4 yrs ago to feel better about myself and it went wrong, i ended up with deformed breasts and feeling so much worse about my body.
I am in the process of sueing the clinic and surgeon because they new I had mental health problems but went ahead and took my money and performed a surgery that was bound to give me a very poor result without looking into if I was mentaly suitable for surgery at that time.
I clearly was not!
It went wrong, they tried to fix it and in fact made it worse and I am left with very odd miss shaped, hard droopy breasts with implants showing through my skin.
luckily I found people to take on my case,but it is time consuming and I have had to see various people including expert surgeon, pscycologist etc
I have a very good case but to improve what I ended up with will take another 2 operations, therefore taking up more of my life which is stressful enough!
for some women they have no problems with breast implants but you rarely get to know when it goes wrong unless its a celebrity, people in UK will know about jordan but at least she has the money to fix it, thats if it can be fixed.
she is lucky the surgeon didn't mess up her nose because she had it done at the same time and you can't hide that.
I can hide my breasts under clothes but I know whats underneath and you think every one else does because they are also to big for my body and look huge in fitted tops, and people look at my breasts all the time so you try to hide in baggy clothing so they won't look which makes you feel like crap because I won't wear the nice clothes.
I will let yas know the out come when i know myself but untill then its a waiting game.
I hope no one has to go through what I have been through but I would have no case if I didn't have mental health problems!
What is really shocking is that afterwards the clinic didn't want to know and I was left on my own not knowing what the hell had gone wrong.

Chase. I think things like face lift's, lipo, and other procedures that you feel will boost your self-esteem why not. It doesn't hurt to feel good about yourself. Just weigh out the pro's and con's. The final choice is your's. Jeffhans

well if it means getting 20 pounds of chest off one's body and it affects the back and could save money in medical bills you would think some insurance companies would be all for it

[high maintenence]

My grandmother had a mastectomy and really and truly they weighed her breasts and they were right at nine pounds a piece, and she wasn't large breasted either..about a C cup...I'm a D, but like I said, if I could just lose the weight. Can you imagine though, if I had these damn things taken 1/2 off, I'd bet I would lose about 20 pounds...LOL

[nordicnicki]

i have re-thought about this question and i guess now i am going to contradict myself.
i would like to have my nose fixed so it is straight and doesnt have a lump in it....it never healed properly from being broken.
also would like my teeth fixed...i dont want perfectly uniformed glowing white teeth like celebs have....just not so crooked and the ones that got broke fixed
