Of course not. I didn't want to come across as making a judgement about her (I don't know her, so that's impossible), I was only suggesting ruling it out.

I am pretty sure if the more kids you had, the more your testicles hung to the ground looked wrinkled and saggy, you might think of getting them propped backup. |
Point well taken.

And ...
that rationale is something I can understand. Your body had undergone changes (albeit natural changes) that you weren't happy with. You made an educated, informed, intelligent decision that breast surgery was something you needed at that time in your life to feel better about the way you looked.
My point is ... this woman is beautiful the way she is ... from her pictures, she has perfectly normal, well-shaped breasts. My question (not for me to ask but for her to ask herself) is why does she think that she needs them? Can she not feel sexy and desirable in the body she has?
At the end of the day, it is absolutely her right to do with her body as she pleases ... end of story. Her judgement is the only one that counts. But sharing from my life experience, if everything is great, it's generally unwise to mess with it.

Agreed.

I didn't mean to imply she needed therapy, there's no way I could make that sort of judgement about someone on an internet forum. I only meant to say it couldn't hurt to talk to someone just to confirm the she has her feelings sorted out about such a big decision.

Hear, hear.

I hope I didn't appear to be trying to scare her. That certainly wasn't my intent. I was only suggesting that it couldn't hurt to wait and think awhile.
