And finally, “Breast cancer surgeon here. I have seen thousands of breasts. Sometimes in pairs, sometimes not. There is huge variation. If anyone out there thinks you are deformed or ugly, you are not. There is someone out there who loves and celebrates their body — who feels good, and has an active sex life and loving partner — who has a jacked boob job, has nipples pointing in different directions, has uneven or lumpy, ginormous or barely visible breasts, or no breasts at all because it didn’t fit their gender or cancer took them. And they can be happy and healthy in that body they have.”
“If you’re unhappy and you want something about your body to be different, then by all means, feel free to explore that, and don’t feel judged or ashamed to want that. But if you feel like you’re not perfect enough, if that’s keeping you from living your best life, please don’t let it. There are all types of bodies in the world, and there are plenty of people with bodies that aren’t as youthful, or as perky or sensuous as yours, and guess what? They’re doing just fine. There’s no reason for you to get in your head about yours. Confidence in yourself and a sincere desire to have your partner feel wanted and attractive themselves is where success lies.
And — at least for me and everyone I work with — we aren’t talking about you or judging you or thinking any one thing about you or your body. We just want to make sure that you’re healthy, you feel heard and respected, that we get our job done, and that we do it safely and correctly to make sure that those tits don’t kill you.”
