So it becomes: Men like big breasts so that's why he is cautioning against surgery, right?

I have also had some female friends who are against my surgery too. Not just my Pdoc, but the fact that he is my Psychiatrist and told me his opinion and reasoning was that I wasn't doing it for the right reasons really ticked me off, like he doesn't believe my real reasons are medical that they are purely psychological. I told my T what he did and T was upset at Pdoc!
