What can I say to a friend who wants plastic surgery? (Breast implants)

She is so beautiful and perfectly fine. But she is so insecure and I really don't want her to be hurt. The risks involved and cost is just tremendous. Please tell me how I can help her

Tell her straight out how beautiful you think she is, and if that involves talking about her body in a way that you normally wouldn't just be as direct as you can and try not to be embarrassed. Talk about her insecurities as well. Try to find out why she's insecure (something must have made her be that way) and see if there's any way you can bolster her confidence in a natural manner without resorting to such artificial and expensive tactic. See if you can find a good book or website that talks about body positivity and show her it. And above all be gentle with her. Her body isn't the real problem. The real problem is that she doesn't think it's good enough... and that's a mental health self-esteem issue not a physical one. Some professional counselling might also help, but she'd be the one that would have to want to do it, not you. 馃
