I am a 19 year old Japanese girl living in Tokyo, but I spend lots of time in America, mostly studying interior design. I guess the truth must be told - Japanese women are not known for their large breasts. I don't think it is racist to say that. Just like alot of people know that Brazilians or Afro-americans have large-ish buttocks, or that Italian women are voluptous.

In school in Japan, none of my schoolmates had large breasts - but I was still the smallest in the school - sort of like two pins on a board. When my brother's friends use to come over, they would always be looking at American girlie magazines or pictures of Britney Spears, and poke fun at my sister and I because we had small breasts. That really hurt.

When I got to the States, I realised for some reason that everyone had really large breasts, and didnt want to miss out. I felt not entirely feminime. So after much reflection I decided to go ahead - but I insisted to my plastic surgeon that he must make it look natural because I was so small and I didnt want the difference to be obvious back home. I had my excuses to my family and friends in line - that I had a growth spurt while I was in the States.

I am not going to go into the details of the operation, but it was not pleasant. I have gone from a 32AA to 32B - and they look huge. Now I look like a Japanese Pamela Anderson - I am torn between loving them or hating them - maybe I should have gone for a large A?

I really dont know - I alternate feelings, but it is true that I feel more like a woman. Hopefully, the good will overtake the bad.
