My Boob Job Went Against Everything I Believe In
“I knew if I wanted guaranteed relief from this problem, plastic surgery was my best and only bet. I grit my teeth for months over whether or not having evenly sized breasts was worth betraying my beliefs about body acceptance, but eventually my physical discomfort won out. I hesitantly booked a consultation with Melissa Doft, MD, a board-certified plastic surgeon here in New York City. I’d previously met her through work and had seen her less-is-more approach and gentle bedside manner first-hand. I wanted to avoid having the male gaze or any kind of beauty standard thrust upon my breasts by my surgeon, and I felt safe already knowing that she doesn’t play like that.”
