Surgery
The claim: You can up your cup with a little snip, stuff, and tuck.
The booby trap: Surgery is an option. But cautions Love, "If before surgery you think, 'If I only had bigger breasts everything will be okay after surgery', you'll have the same problems only with bigger breasts." Going under the knife is a big decision and one you'll have to live with your entire life. Often after breast augmentation or reduction surgery, you can no longer breast-feed because the nipple is detached from the milk ducts during surgery. You can also lose sensation because the nerves can be easily damaged while inserting the implant or removing breast tissue. As with any surgery, you must have parental consent if you are under 18. There is also a risk of infection, bleeding, blood clots, and adverse reactions to anesthesia. Scars from breast reduction surgery may be hidden in an unobtrusive location (under the breast or in the armpit), but they never completely disappear. In addition, some women have had allergic reactions to the silicone used in breast implants, though this is a matter of debate. Non-silicone implants are available as an option.
So give yourself and your breasts a break. Whatever their size or shape, if you start to embrace their imperfections now, breast, er, rest assured you're in for a lifetime love affair.
