How can I convince a female friend to NOT get breast implants?

She's pretty and Its not like she's flat. I think it has something to do with her being in her mid thirties and feeling insecure but I don't think this will help her.

How can I convince a female friend to NOT get breast implants?
If your friend really wants breast and can afford them let her. Ask that she does extensive research on the matter, so that she is making an informed decision. This might be exactly what she needs to feel better.
Reply:just have a talk with her . . . but i guess youve tried that.


to be fair i can relate to your friend feeling really insecure and if she thinks it'll make a huge difference to her life then i think you should be supportive and hold her hand the whole way!


im in the opposite position i have huge boobs haha. if shes skinny tell her not to get huge ones because its the biggest bit*h in the world trying to get clothes to fit me becuase my boobs dont fit in ones that fit round my belly then when i find ones to fit my boobs it makes me look fat because it doesnt go found my belly :( gutting


haha


best of luck though

Reply:Why do you have to convince her of anything? It's her business. There's really nothing wrong with choosing plastic surgery to enhance your body, if you can afford it. Many people obsess about body parts they feel are inferior and are insecure because of it. Having this done might free her to move on to more important things. It's one less thing to obsess about.
Reply:You can't. This is her decision. You can voice your opinion and let her know how you feel, but that's about all you can do. It really is her decision to make and only she can make it for herself. Don't underestimate the ego boosting power of a pair of sweater puppies. I had my boobs done and the self esteem boost was amazing! For the first time I felt good about my shape, like the top and the bottom were of the same proportions. I went from a bottom heavy pear to a perfectly proportioned hour-glass. Everyone told me it wouldn't really help and that confidence comes from within and be happy with what I have and yadda yadda yadda, but they really didn't know what they were talking about. I'm happy I had my 34AAA's turned into something that looks good in clothes. And my husband likes the results too, he was my biggest supporter, in a manner of speaking.
Reply:Well, don't tell her that it's stupid, or a bad idea strait out, talk to her from her side of the fence, tell her that you understand that she feels that she needs it, and that it will make her feel better about her self, and that in the end you will be there for her no matter what decision she makes, but that from an outsiders view point, she is not as imperfect as she perceives herself to be. tell her that we are our own biggest critics, and that bigger breasts will not make her a different person. tell her that no matter what, she is beautiful, not just to you, and not just on the outside. She needs a friend, and she needs to know she is not making this decision alone, or in spite of her public, but that there are people who see her and care for her, tell her that if after deep thought and understanding of the procedure and possible dangers, and results, that if this would truly make her a happier person in the end, then you support her, and then you have to think about her, because if she thinks it will make her a happier person, then as her friend, you need to be there for her, because in the end, it is about her. Good Luck. You sound like a good friend, don't stop being one, she needs you!
Reply:Well, you could do some research for her. Try to find pictures and/or stories about people who've had bad results from getting breast implants and tell her that those results could be what she faces. If you don't want to do that, you could just tell her just how fine she looks and getting breast implants isn't the answer to her insecurity problem. Also, since you said she wasn't flat, you could say that she'd probably end up getting the implants too big and they'll look more fake than natural.
Reply:Tell her she could die and you will miss her


tell her the sillicone can do to your heart while you are on the table and it will instantly be transfered to your lungs and you will die.





of course this cant happen

Reply:Why don't you do your own research to better understand why she is doing it. You don't live in her body and with her breasts. You have no idea whether or not his will help her. She's in her mid-30's, she plenty old enough to make this decision, much more so than a 20-year-old.
Reply:i dunno...when girls want them its hard to convince them otherwise bcuz they might never be happy without them. i want to get them too and nothing anybody says would make me change my mind. the things u'd tell her would all be things she's heard before. its up to her to make a decision
Reply:tell her instead to put squeaky toys!!! more fun for every1!!!!


or just tell her that 1 day she'll be makin love %26amp; they'll squeeze so hard that they'll pop out her mouth!!! XD
Reply:Just be her friend.I can understand how you feel as well as how she feels.


Getting a breast implant is not going to solve whatever is bothering her.


But I don't think she will heed your advice if she has already made up her mind.She is going through mid life crisis.May be all you friends can get together and and try to get to the root of the problem.

Reply:Research to find out the maintenance on something like that. I heard that you have to get them redone every 10-20 years at $10,000 everytime... show her stuff that has gone wrong as well. Just make sure that doing this is for herself and no one else.
