Well said. All too often, I think we’ve have blanket yes or no answers to plastic surgery, but the decision is right for some and not others. I really appreciate those husbands who let their wives know how content they are, because feeling secure in how you look to your spouse helps to ground you and make the right decision for yourself.

Blessings!

Can I just say like others, the grass isn’t always greener. My proportions are small 32b breasts on a tall thin frame, with a large booty! My husband usually notices big boobs, but is greatly opposed to implants. He would pay for them if I insisted, but he doesn’t want me to do it.
I’ve talked with a few older/wiser women about this, and they said “they marry what they like” so if you have big boobs, he likes big boobs, what he notices doesn’t mean he likes. We all notice things. My husband married a big booty, he likes it, he might notice larger breasts, but it doesn’t mean he likes them more. Some men are butt guys others boob guys – they notice everything, but it doesn’t mean anything.
J discouraged me from having implants a year or so ago, simple because it wouldn’t solve the deep insecurity I have, but would probably make it worse, as then I would only feel liked because I got implants and round and round it goes! She was right too. And you know, breast or butt implants won’t stop them from noticing – and then it wouldn’t be something else that we would need to get done.
I applaud J for making the decision for her, and realize now that its not something I can do.

Thanks for your beautiful testimony! And praise God you’re still here and basking in His love.

Thanks, Sar! I suspect a good plastic surgeon would want you to wait for a while after having kids. Breasts can still change size and shape many months after childbirth, so you may not know exactly what you’ve got for a while yet. Obviously, I’m not opposed to the surgery, but you’re still young and you’ve got some time to see what happens. Just wanted you to know. Best wishes making a wise decision for you!

And blessings to your marriage!

Thanks so much, April!

People are quick to judge, but for ages, men and women have been doing things to improve their appearance. Even Esther underwent a year of cosmetic conditioning to be presented before the king. I know, before someone argues with me, that doesn’t automatically slap God’s approval onto it. But, like you said, God is concerned with our hearts and that is what we have to check before we do something. And you know what, if someone’s heart is in the wrong and they are trying to find their worth in appearance, well then God is big enough to forgive them and work in their life.

I remember that conversation, and I stated that I did not believe butt implants would help your particular situation…because there was so much else going on there. Honestly, if everything else gets straightened out, and you still want butt implants…

But I stand by my encouragement to women to come from a place of self-acceptance and self-confidence before heading into a plastic surgery procedure. I wish you all the best and pray for you! Blessings, B.
