Pay it Forward

Who can tell?

Denial…is not just a river in Egypt. It is a lack of ‘credit’ and sharing. We aren’t saying that everyone who has a breast enlargement procedure should go running around shouting it to the hills and showing them to everyone who passes by – but, on the other hand, adamantly denying surgery after gaining three cups sizes overnight isn’t exactly good for a gal’s credibility either. Since people ARE going to notice; finding a dignified way of being honest about it…might be the best policy. And, if your doctor did a great job – why not let them have a new referral?

Are ‘They’ for you, or him?

Your measure as a person, is not tied to your breast size.

Are you being pressured into having a breast enlargement by your significant other? What do you want to do? Take the time to consider whether you are doing it for you…or for him. Is someone who is so concerned with your breast size, really with you because they like you? Don’t take this wrong – there is nothing wrong with wanting to have breast enlargement surgery, as long as it is your choice, and not because your boyfriend threatened to leave, if you don’t. In that case, get the fabulous breasts, and kick Mr. Wrong to the curb! It’s your body…and your choice.
