Told I'd look aesthetically unpleasing without breast implants | SBS Insight #cancer #surgery

This lady has her priorities right ✅️ ❤

It's called "Flat Denial" when the surgeon gives you a hard time. It's condescending, and let me guess, the surgeon was male. I found a wonderful surgeon who listened well and gave me an aesthtic flat closure immediately following my double mastectomy. So happy!!

Imagine how many people reconsidered the implant removal & had other health issues/complications as a result 😢

[ColorwaveCraftsCo]

That’s wild to me but unfortunately not surprising

This is an issue with women. It is not about how you look but how you feel.

Im American. Thats odd they dont want to remove her implants that are causing health issues., unless its dangerous to remove.

For me, surgery is dangerous and risky. Unless its absolutely necessary, no surgery or poison fillers for me. Im careful with what i eat.

Im basically happy with myself. Ive always been artsy and have my own style of dress. I never wanted to be a copy of others.

I can use clothes and makeup to fix, hide, enhance.

I’ve heard about someone having a mastectomy and the surgeon asked her husband for permission! A lot of male surgeons must be sexist as borne out be the recent memoir ‘Emotional Woman’ by yumiko kadata

You are just fine as you are..why subject oneself to such awful dangerous surgeries...your being healthy is most important. Don't listen to any body-shamers ...dear sis.

[AnitaSouthall]

Her body health and life, why is looks so important?

It’s obviously ridiculous for a dr to comment about how they think u would look or say to ask your husband. I don’t the 2nd dr was inappropriate by saying he could leave pockets in case she changed her mind later. If she did, she would have that option. It’s good that she was able to make an informed decision.
