Women who wanted cosmetic surgery (nose job, boob job....) as a teen (or young adult), how do you feel about it now?

I had the same issue. I'm naturally skinny and have a super boyish/flat figure and struggled to gain weight. I always wanted a breast augmentation and changed my mind when I had a daughter because I know she admires me and didn't want her to feel bad about her body shape if she took after me. Also, my manipulative/abusive ex-husband didn't want me to. However, when I was divorced I decided that I need to live for myself and not for everyone else. I got a natural looking breast augmentation. I have absolutely no regrets and wish I did it years ago. I always have had low self esteem and while I still do sometimes I don't feel self-conscious about my body anymore. Maybe if I had that confidence 10 years ago I wouldn't have made poor life decisions due to my lack of confidence in myself.
