Breast augmentation had never been a top concern for me. Ditto forcosmetic surgery. It had always seemed like a cop out. As if thepeople who went under the knife for it did it because they wereinsecure. Not only that, but they thought it would be the "beall and end all" for them. In other words, they'd still feelinsecure after the fact because they hadn't dealt with the realproblem. Their own self-image.

Then one day, I saw some interviews with women who had done it. Itreally blew me away. They weren't insecure. They were happy forhaving done it. It wasn't like they felt they HAD to. They wanted toregardless of what other people thought or said. So, it was their OWNdecision. They knew the risks, had heard all the stuff in the past inthe news about the safety of implants.

It's hard to describe how it felt to hear them. It felt... Well,it was kind of empowering. Their bodies, their choice. That's what Igot out of it. And so, that's when I realized that all my negativeobsessing about breast augmentation was wrong, a cover up. I wastrying avoid my own interest in the procedure by putting it down.

This isn't to say that it's the same for everyone. Nor do I wantanyone to think that they SHOULD do it just because they're"interested". I had to think a long time about this, andfeel comfortable knowing that it was what I wanted.

After preparing myself, I then went on the mythical quest for theperfect surgeon. What I found was a lot of information about all thedifferent ways breast augmentation could be done. On top of that, thedifferent kinds of implants. As well, the legal restrictions aroundcertain types of implants - namely the silicone-filled variety.

The other thing I found was how different the surgeons and/orclinics marketed themselves. There were a lot of ads that wouldreaffirm everything I thought was wrong about it. Fortunately, therewere some that actually sounded intelligent, i.e. not someturn-of-the-century hawker selling snake oil.

Talking with these people, who actually sounded like they cared, Iwas finally able to make a decision. They also answered the endlessquestions and concerns I had about the different kinds of breastaugmentation. Not only the pros and cons of each technique but whathad to be done afterwards to make sure that the implants wouldn'trupture.

Although it took a while, in the end I was glad I did my homeworkfirst. But more importantly, I'm glad for having seen those womentalk about their own experiences with breast augmentation.
