Anyone faced opposition?

Has anyone faced opposition from family members about having enlargement surgery? My mum seems to think that I don’t need it and that I will regret it in the very near future

Yesterday I fell out with my sister as she kept talking about “something going wrong” and pressuring me into telling other family members about my planned op next week. It’s raised my anxiety a lot about the procedure to be honest! 🙁

I think there’s so much negativity and fear about it nowadays because of what happened with those PIP implants that was all over the news, that people just associate breast implants with that horrific ordeal. I’ve not met any opposition and all my loved ones have been very supportive but I have heard people say things in relation to all of the bad things that have been televised over the years. It seems to be one of those things that will always be a bit taboo 🙁
If you’re happy, and it’s what you want, 100% do it.
If I choose to tell people I’ve had it done, then that’s my choice and I’ll deal with their reaction, otherwise it’s my own private business and no one needs to know. I did it for me, and no one else and that’s how I look at it x

My own boyfriend doesn’t want me to get them done. He doesn’t understand my reason when I literally no no boobs, I’m flat chested and I’m not even a size. We have fallen out about it many of times

My mom sobbed when I told her. Refused to talk to me for a bit as well. She’s come round now to the idea since seeing how happy they’ve made me.

I still haven’t told my Grandma and i’m 7wpo! Haha, I wear baggier tops when I see her. The rest of my family were supportive but my Grandma was quite irate when I said I wanted them done xxx

My op is next week and I’ve only told the woman I work beside (who’s had a boob job herself before) and my sister, and obviously my boyfriend knows and his family knows. But no chance am I telling my mum and dad, and I know my sister never would not tell them when I don’t want her too for it’s my business. I’ll tell them myself when I’ve had them done and I’m ready too. I know they will be all like “why though stop being stupid” sort of thing and worry about it and to not spend that much money on something so stupid, they’ve always been the ones to say “always leave your body alone” but that’s just not what I want. Everyone I have told though has been fine with it and my boyfriend has been amazing, he said he likes them now and he’ll like them after and told me it’s my body and my choice, whatever I chose he’ll be happy with. He’s been to my consultations with me and calmed me down when I’ve got myself worked up and always telling me I’m gonna be fine, and I’m doing something I really want. Only you know if it’s something you really want, many people say you’ll regret getting piercings and tattoos when you get older, so I don’t trust them words haha. I’m living my best life now xx

@blueeyedblonde sorry for such a long reply!! But it may be good advice for you x

@leahrodgers20 I love your attitude! My boyfriend is really supportive too. I wish my sister had reacted more like yours – mine initially promised not to share that I was having a BA & then changed her mind & I was forced to tell my mum even though I didn’t want to (we are estranged). It’s really frustrating but I’m trying to remember that I’m doing it for me and to shrug off the comments from family. X

The only person I’ve told is my cousin as I don’t have time for others opinions. I might tell people after but I’ve got some boobs and have been wearing a padded bra for months so there’s wont be a massive difference.

Thanks for your replies girlies!! xx It really bugs me when people think they know best about you and your body and feel that they are in such a place to share their opinion with you. But in reality, they have know idea how you feel! I appreciate my mum’s concerned but she thinks it’s going to be the biggest mistake of my life and I’m going to regret it. I haven’t even told my dad because of the reaction I’m going to get from him! Luckily, my boyfriend, his family and my nan have been really supportive so that’s all that matters. I’m counting down the days till I’m booked in and I’m so fricking excited!!!!

@lou2610 thank you!! And that’s great and sorry your sister didn’t react the same way, that’s really selfish of her for she should support you and it’s not her business to share, but at least it’s out now and exactly, you’re doing it for you!! Plus you have your boyfriend to support you so I’m glad that at least someone is, really hope your op goes well when it comes to it (unless you’ve already had your BA) then I’m glad it did go well xx

Girls my op on the 10th got cancelled – the day before! Because they didn’t have the implants. Rescheduled for this Thursday & I feel much calmer as I haven’t told any of my family that I have a new date booked. It’s amazing how much their reactions amped up my anxiety. Wish I’d never told any of them in the first place! X
