i have had liposuction because i was incredibly unhappy about my body. i dont regret it although im at a much better place and happier with my body, both because of the surgery and because of where i am with myself now. if it will make you feel better, do it. we can walk around the issue all we want, but being women in such an image driven society, it is hard to judge when images of perfection are being shoved in your face. im not saying perfection should be the goal and it doesnt sound like it is, but if it will make you feel better about yourself and help you grow and heal in a way, i dont see why you should feel bad about it. of course, be careful. good luck!
