Plastic surgery
The majority of women (58.2%) who participated in the survey have thought about plastic surgery at least once in their lives.
Almost 52% of those who were thinking about plastic surgery googled this topic on the Internet, found out how it happens, how much it costs, and abandoned the idea of changing their appearance with a scalpel. Slightly more than 48% have thought about plastic surgery more than once and, apparently, continue to do so to this day.

The remaining participants in our survey (41.8%) consider surgical intervention unnatural and claim that they have never even thought about it.
Baranavichy women are in no hurry to go under the knife of plastic surgeons: almost 88% of our respondents have never had plastic surgery. 8% of respondents, judging by the survey results, resorted to such simple plastic surgery as mole removal. In second place in popularity is lip augmentation (3%). Another 1.7% of respondents had facial plastic surgery, 1.3% had scars removed, and 1% had breast augmentation. The rest of the respondents who decided on plastic surgery had swelling removed, liposuction, Botox and fillers, resorted to breast lift, burning out birthmarks, rhinoplasty, etc. Each of these options received less than 1% of our respondents' votes.

Wear nice underwear and clothes
Firstly, seductive lingerie and beautiful clothes help you feel desired and sexy. Secondly, with the help of clothes and accessories you can successfully emphasize all the advantages of your figure.
Think over a basic wardrobe taking into account your lifestyle, make a shopping list and gradually bring it to life. Shopping and trying on will become a source of pleasure and a great mood. Kim Kardashian has the same opinion.

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley
She has small breasts and is also a Victoria's Secret angel. In her interviews, Rosie talks about how, as a child, a modest bust was a real punishment for her. She was constantly in the shadow of her classmates, whom nature had endowed with more curvaceous figures, and was not particularly popular with the guys.
However, despite everything, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley was able to become incredibly successful in the modeling world and most often she has to advertise lingerie. In the finished pictures we can see that the model has a rather full bust, but as Rosie herself says, these are just a few sets of special pads.
What's wrong with the appearance?
When asked what they weren’t happy with about their appearance, 42% of respondents answered that it was being overweight. Considering that there were about 40 possible answers to this question, the rate of excess weight is simply off the charts.
In second place was the answer “everything suits me” – 12.4% of the votes. In third place (7.7%) were teeth, and fourth place (7%) was taken by “excessive body hair.” The top five was closed by the “ugly nose” (6%). “Thin hair” and “small breasts” scored another 5% each.
Now let’s go over some not-so-massive problems. So, 1.7% of respondents are not satisfied with birthmarks in their appearance, 1.3% of respondents complain about the huge size of their feet, 1% of our readers are dissatisfied with their height, and 0.7% have ugly ears.
And we’ll finish everything off with single answers that our readers entered on their own. Among them are “defects of the limbs”, “stomach”, “saggy breasts”, “spots on the skin”, “an ugly mole that is growing”, “small thighs, I wish they were bigger”, “stretch marks”, “varicose veins on the leg” , “cellulite, sagging skin”, “ugly “ears” on the butt”, “excess weight + short stature”, “acne”, “small breasts, crooked nose and stretch marks”, “non-Instagram flabby body”, “full legs”, “big breasts”, “postpartum stretch marks and loss of breast shape”, “no waist”, “I want size 2 breasts”, “drooping eyelid”, “loose body”, “psoriasis”, “face shape”, “baby face , small lips”, “large breasts and belly”.
Ksenia Sobchak
The eccentric TV presenter considers her small bust to be nature's greatest gift. She says that it is precisely this kind of female breast that is the most beautiful, which cannot be said about the udder (this is the word that Ksenia uttered in an interview) of the fourth size. With similar phrases, she responds to the caustic remarks of her ill-wishers, who quite often reproach her for her modest bust size. And to confirm her words, the TV presenter is not shy about choosing outfits with very deep necklines. Moreover, such wardrobe items look decent on her in the complete absence of even the slightest hint of vulgarity.
In an interview, Ksenia says that she lives quite comfortably with her small bust and she can’t even imagine how difficult it would be for her with large breasts! For what? It's inconvenient!
Personal care
To remain attractive, residents of Baranovichi use different methods. Almost every second respondent (40.1%) makes masks for the face, hair, hands and feet. 11.4% of survey participants go in for sports to keep their body in good shape. 7% of respondents buy various nourishing creams for body care, and 3.7% of our readers go for massages and baths. Another 2% of respondents visit a cosmetologist and nutritionist, and the same number of women undergo body wraps.
The remaining 24.1% answered that “they don’t take care of their body at all.”

HealthBig, small, asymmetrical, tubular: Girls about accepting their breasts
My breasts have fluctuated all my life from size zero to size 1, depending on my overall weight. It’s not that she’s completely flat, but I’ve never caught the notorious admiring glance at my cleavage. My average weight is sixty-five kilograms, I’m tall and broad-shouldered, that is, I don’t have any general slightness that would “justify” the lack of breasts. In one of Dovlatov’s books it is written that all overweight women with small busts are liars. For many years I have thought that if we had known each other, he would not have liked me very much.
Breasts are the most vulnerable part of a woman's body. Probably only the genitals are more vulnerable, but, fortunately, the general public does not claim the right to discuss them, because they do not see. But breasts are a ticket to the world of great femininity, loaded with numerous meanings. And if you don’t have it, then your relationship with this femininity will be especially difficult.
When I was sixteen years old, like many teenagers, I didn’t like myself from top to toe - and the disproportion between a large bone and a flat chest seemed catastrophic. I wanted to be “ideal” in someone’s eyes, and I balanced my round hips with bras that were a size too big and some kind of monstrous push-ups. This lasted for five or seven years, until I read the first feminist-oriented book in my life. In general, it became clear that neither I nor people needed this humiliating lie. For the last three years I have not worn bras at all, with the exception of very decorative ones. Many articles have already been written about how convenient this is, so I won’t dwell on this.
When I was nineteen, my then-boyfriend joked that when we got married and he got rich, we would “give me boobs.” A terrible joke, today I would answer it very harshly, but then I laughed. It's sad to think how many women laugh every day in response to the condescending grins of their partners. At the same time, the most difficult thing is to have sex with breasts that you are not happy with. When you undress in front of a new person, you can’t help but think that right now he’s analyzing your appearance. You try to choose only certain positions and don’t like it when your breasts are touched. The breast is a powerful erogenous zone, but neurosis is stronger than the desire for pleasure.
I started working with these and other unpleasant symptoms of rejection of certain parts of my body relatively recently. This is monstrously difficult: the idea of our own inadequacy to images from porn films sits very deep, as if it were sewn under our skin. But a couple of years ago I had a partner - a very loving and sensitive guy - who suddenly complimented the shape of my breasts. It was unusual and pleasant, I thought about it and since then I began to look at myself in the mirror a little differently. A regular exercise has appeared in my practice: when you undress, you don’t need to immediately try to evaluate your reflection. You can look, note the features, look for the unusual, get used to this body - but do not color what you see emotionally. Doing such an exercise is more difficult than describing, and I don’t succeed every day - but with this simple experience, my realization began that my breasts are not only size, but also shape. And yes, I like her.
Both at sixteen and at nineteen, I was sure that someday I would definitely undergo breast augmentation surgery. Several years later, this thought seems uncomfortable to me. My beliefs today do not allow me to interfere so much with my body for the sake of patriarchal standards. Although it would certainly be much easier to relax during sex, can I really say with confidence that I would do such an operation for myself? No, I can't say that.
I think that in an ideal world, any major surgical intervention to “improve” one’s appearance should be approached in a manner similar to psychotherapy. Our relationships with our bodies and faces are reflections of complex processes that go on deep inside. The need for love and other people's assessment, attempts to identify oneself through belonging to communities, fear of condemnation, an oppressive social circle - it would be good to start untangling these tangles before transferring money to the surgeon. But I really respect women for whom operations have brought harmony with themselves - I think there is a lot of power in honestly admitting to yourself that you will only be comfortable in this body and no other.
I also think that building a relationship with yourself is an interesting journey. Yesterday I was skeptical about my breasts, today I am comfortable with them and they teach me a different aesthetic. What if tomorrow I learn to adore her? This trick worked with some parts of the body. After all, it’s not hard to love yourself when you fit into a standard; it’s much harder to find yourself attractive when you don’t fit into a convention. I have always found it not the “ideal” women who are cool, but those about whom they usually say something like “not a beauty, such a big nose (“strange voice”, “a little in the body”, “no breasts” and so on) , but you can’t take your eyes off.” I always wanted to be exactly like this. Wearing a non-standard figure with confidence is a challenge. And at this period of my life I am interested in taking it.
