Women feel need to get breast implants to get the right size

Petite, thin women worry breasts too small

Our culture tends to equate breast size with sex appeal thinking larger breasts will increase their allure

Supersize: 70% women dissatisfied with their breasts. l

Many men are obsessed with the size of their penis.

Most women can’t tell the difference in penis variation l

It’s not the size its how you use it.

Men are increasingly having cosmetic surgery too.

Corporate message sells insecurity to sell you product

Pharma and Sex industry focus on 4 things:

Efficiency, numbers game, predictable, cookie-cutter sex

Common reasons why people have plastic surgery to have a perfect body l a job investment l recapture the looks they had in their youth l born with physical defects that haunt them throughout their childhood and adolescence l disfigured by accidents or disease l

The Perfect Vagina

Like the “Perfect breasts”, or “Perfect Penis” is a myth created by the sex industry, to sell the “Perfect body.”

Does size matter? l

Not at all. “Surely We created man of the best stature” Holy Quran 95:4

If we can learn to be content with the way God has created us, there is no greater source of peace

When is Cosmetic surgery OK? l l

Can’t do it just to be “more” attractive In the Qur’ân, Qur’ân, God says that Satan will lead people astray and that one of the ways he will do this is to get them to alter Allah’s creation.

Reference: http://en.islamtoday.net/node/1327: If you have any questions check with a Muslim Scholar

When is Cosmetic surgery OK? l

To correct deformities or to return a person’s appearance back to normal after an accident, or disease (eg (eg breast cancer)

Reference: http://en.islamtoday.net/node/1327: If you have any questions check with a Muslim Scholar

Women come in all shapes & sizes Observe in the street, gym, with girl-friends the variation in breasts

Don’t let them define you with a measurement and number

You may not be able to change societys view on breasts, but you can change your own

Less is more l

Just because you have healthy breasts you shouldn’t flaunt them, not should you feel ashamed of them.

:

"Even I don't wake up looking like Cindy Crawford." Cindy Crawford

You are unique, you don’t need to abuse your body

Understand modern beauty is manufactured not real l

The “Evolution” video uses timetime-lapse photography to illustrate how much a model’s natural appearance has likely been modified in an advertisement

Images taken from “Evolution,” available at http://www.campaignforrealbeauty.com/dsef07/t5.aspx?id=7373&filmno=1

Beauty is the whole you Inner and Outer

So Beauty is about the whole self. l

"O God, as You have made my appearanc e beautiful, likewise make my character beautiful.“ Muhammad, Prophet of Islam

Understand standards of beauty change over time

Be Accepting:Breasts, Penises are body parts Of who we are, not making any alterations to it.

We must believe l

That all of God’s creation is beautiful, because He does not create anything except with beauty and perfection.
