I wouldn't dream of telling others how they should feel about their bodies. In fact, that's just the point. This woman I wrote about obviously felt horrible about her breasts. If that's the way one feels about a body part, why wouldn't they think about making a change?
What you decide about your body should be in line with how you feel about yourself. If you'll recall, I wrote that body image is key. If you're content with tuberous breasts, or any other deviation from the norm, there's absolutely no reason to have surgery. But if you're bothered quite a bit about something that can be addressed in a simple procedure, why not address it? Are you saying this woman (not you, but someone else who feels differently than you do) should not have surgery? Isn't that telling her how to feel? What if she did have a cleft palate--would you say the same thing?
