I have surgery on Wednesday. Getting a boob job at the grand old age of 17. I understand there are opinions on this, such as age, "omg her bobs are fake lets hate hurr" and reasoning.
My reasoning is valid - I'd qualify to have it free on the NHS if I were 18, meaning it does have a negative affect on me (I wear hoodies in the height of summer). I also have tubular breast, which makes them look very odd. It's a genetic deformity.
Seeing as a qualified doctor has agreed to go ahead at my age, I'd say there aren't really any problems with it.
Regarding people simply hating fake t*ts, well that's a general opinion but many guys I've met who I've spoken to about it say they wouldn't give a s**t if they were slightly off or felt a bit different.
I'm not sure if this is the right forum to post in, and I feel the Health + Fitness isn't right either.
I simply don't know how to prepare properly. I'm buying the right bra tomorrow, and pain meds will be provided to me but I'm not sure how to prepare mentally. I've had very intensive surgery before in 2010 so I'm no stranger to pain or recovery, but it was a period in my life I blanked out. That might've been me trying to forget the trauma, or it might've been the morphine.
I'm nervous, yet excited. The fact that this is an opt-in surgery is making it easier for me, seeing as I don't need it to save my life or fix physical pain like I have in the past.
How should I prepare for the nerves I'll feel on the way to hospital? The only experience I have with these things is extreme trauma. I had PTSD for a while after, but luckily I've moved on now that my spine has healed and has been healed for a few years.
