Well you also have to consider your mom's feelings and needs. Do you think she'd want to take care of you? I'm not saying she wouldn't, considering you are her daughter and she'd probably do anything to help you, but she may be a busy woman or has some things she'd want to do in her spare time. I know you really want this surgery, but it sounds like it'd be a burden on your family right now.

I'm not trying to tell you to get or not get the surgery since I am not you or your parents, but sometimes the cost of something is more than just the money or your feelings. There is also your family and their needs. This is something that can affect not only you, but those around you and you have to take that into consideration as well.

By the way, what kind of quack doctor does cosmetic butt surgery on a 19 year old without inquiring on her family background and psychological state? Medical ethics are in the sewer.

^This.

I was about to type something similar. A good plastic surgeon won't perform surgery on a patient without first vetting the patient's mental state. The doctor will want to know your motivations for having it done in order to see if you have realistic expectations. If the doctor thinks your expectations are not in tune with reality, s/he will refuse to do the surgery.

Doctors know that, in the past, far too many people had cosmetic surgery while having unrealistic expectations. When those expectations fail to materialize, the patient will fall into depression.

You say you've saved up the money for this procedure. Did you save any extra to cover possible complications? With any surgery, there is always the possibility of complications---and that will cost you extra money.

Crazy question but have you tried working out? You are incredibly young to be manipulating your body, which is STILL changing btw. Whatever you get today you won't have in 10 years, just so you know. Also, the BOLT ON BUTT look is not going to be in fashion forever. Like everything, it's a fad and one you may be getting additional surgery for later so you don't look out of place in society.

Working out will not get me the body I want though. I can do all the heavy lifting in the world and have a perfect diet, but I still won't have the hips and butt that I want. I wish I could do this with exercise, it's not like I want to go under the knife, but it's the only option I have to achieve the body I want. I can always lose weight if I want the butt to go down.

No offense, but you sound completely ridiculous. It's your butt, not a fashion accessory. I think you REALLY need to ask yourself why the "perfect" butt is so important to you. Seriously. It's unhealthy to care this much. A good body is a well maintained body that is exercised and fed properly, not one that curves a certain way.

It's not just my butt, it's my whole body. The surgery will make everything look very good and shapely. I do exercise and eat well, but I just want a little extra help.

Frankly, your parents might not even notice if they don't see you during the recovery period. Do they often stare at your butt?

You said in your initial post that you are "having this surgery and want my mom's support." Then that is exactly what you should tell her.

Most likely your parents understand that you do not have the physical or emotional maturity for this surgery. In looking at the your post history, I think your parents are right to be concerned. You seem to be floundering. Figure out what you want to do with your life, how and where you want to accomplish that and stick with it. That will have a much larger impact on your life than a butt lift.

I too wonder about the ethics of a doctor willing to perform this surgery on a 19 y.o. (and also that it's a fad and may well change in a few years).
