hmmm....I've said this on this board before.....I had plastic surgery (got breast implants). I got them to make my body more attractive.
That's the bottom line. But there is much more to it.
With them I have a better self image of my body. I could discuss this at length, but I know that there are those would never understand my decision and would call my swallow or have some other less that positive opinion of me because of it. And although, I really do care what others think of me.....It's my intention in life to have a positive, inspiring and encouraging influence on other people....It doesn't matter to me if there are those who disagree with my decision to get plastic surgery.
