Faking It

Let's start by me saying that I have absolutely the smallest breasts of any woman I know. I don't own a bra, I can run naked with no discomfort, and men only look me in the eye when we meet. But I would never, ever, EVER consider getting my breasts enlarged.

Imagine I didn't have a hand. You didn't see me for a couple of weeks and when you did, I HAD a hand. Maybe I was wearing extra long sleeves to downplay my new hand but... there it was. I had created a body part where none had previously existed and I wanted you to embrace my faux hand as if it was natural.  I cannot fathom how someone can insert a man made substance under her skin, permanently alter her appearance over the course of an hour, and act like this is perfectly normal. Indeed, most often pretending like it didn't happen at all. 

And when Gisele, the highest paid super model in the world, a woman who has made literally millions of dollars on the physical beauty of her face and body, gets her boobs enlarged, there is something very wrong with this picture. In Brazil they don't call it an enhancement, they call this surgery a "correction".




If your breasts are so large that they cause you pain and discomfort then reducing them via plastic surgery seems a valuable option. But small breasts are not a hare lip that needs to be "corrected." They are not wrong – they just ARE.
