So you have to ask yourself if you're ready to have a lifetime of maintenance for your implants.

Also, if you haven't had children yet and you plan to, your breasts may change a lot then and you may be happier with your natural size than you are now.

Big boobs don't equal automatic happiness either. I have a big chest and it's not the greatest thing...my back hurts most of the time, I have to buy huge ugly bras, my shirts fit funny, there are exercises I can't do, plus gravity is just not kind to big boobs.

I don't want children at all, so that is not a factor for me. Also, I don't mind having the surgery every 12 years or so, to ensure that the implants remain nicely placed.

I'm not a teen, I just turned 23, however I'm fully independent.

I do feel that I haven't entered my "glow up" stage yet, but that's largely my own fault. I have a great body (minus the small boobs), but admittingly, I sometimes lack confidence and that plays a huge part in being beautiful. I know that breast augmentation would add that wow factor and I would become less shy and more outgoing.

At the moment, I do enjoy my work, but it's not my passion, it's just something that I majored in, because my family thought it was best. I am happy with my work, but I know that I want to do more creative things, like possibly start my own fashion blog. I'm tired of being the "plain jane," who lacks confidence. I am looking forward to my glow up.

I plan to. I even have a good surgeon in mind.

How do you know she has a great life? You cannot tell ANYthing about someone's life from their online postings because it's THEIR version of what they want you to think about them.

You admit that you are your harshest critic. So how does that qualify you to decide that a boob job is the solution to your unhappiness?

Boobs =/= "great life."

What would you do after this perfect surgeon you have chosen gives you bigger boobs and you STILL feel the same as you do right now? Which feature will your "harsh critic" seize upon next to "improve"?

She appears to have a great life, though I'm sure it is not perfect. I do however get the feeling that she is very happy. Happiness comes from living the life that you desire and doing well in all of your endeavors.

I don't think the breast augmentation will create the happiness, I think I'll be happier because I did something special for myself and was pro-active in fixing a major flaw. This would indeed make me more confident.

All of these women seem very happy with their breast augmentation:

Well, she's a pretty girl, no doubt, regardless of her cup size. But you say, "she has a great life and is very happy . . . " etc., etc. I'd submit to you that you only know what she has chosen to TELL you about herself and her life on a blog. That blog is just a very small slice of her life -- you don't know how her S.O. treats her, how many true friends she actually has that she can trust to have her back no matter what, you don't know what kind of issues she had growing up that are coloring her perception of herself now . . . my point is that you ONLY know what she has chosen to present to the public. So, to extrapolate and say, "She has a great life!" probably goes along with what she would like everyone to think.

Boobs are boobs. (shrug) Some are bigger, some are smaller. Mind are on the bigger side, and every day I wish they were a bit smaller -- swimsuits don't fit, button-down shirts don't fit, bras are more expensive and a PITA to buy and fit, blah, blah, blah. It's just enough that it's annoying, but not enough to warrant several thousands of dollars for plastic surgery. And frankly, you get tired of meeting people (men, especially) who first check out your chest, even in professional settings, or who automatically think that the higher the cup size, the lower the IQ. I just can't imagine any body part that would make my life "happy" if it was changed -- because, basically, body parts do not contribute to your sense of happiness and contentment. People can get too wrapped up in what they THINK would make their life perfect, but the happiness button in your life is not located just to the right of your nipple.

But it's your life and your body. If that's what you want, go for it. Just don't expect a boob job to make you beautiful, witty, caring, loving or smarter. It's just a piece of silicone, for heaven's sake -- that's a lot to expect from an expensive piece of silicone.
