I could have typed this post word-for-word before I had my epiphany.
Consider this: Think about what a guy who thinks his calves or biceps are too small will do to make them bigger -- extra sets, drop sets, negatives. Heck, we'll even read kooky workouts off the Internet and/or muscle mags. We'll buy goofy equipment like "arm blasters" to supposedly make them grow as well.
How does that compare to a few hours of lipo or other cosmetic work? It's a couple hour procedure and granted you'll feel rough for a few days, but how much pain/inconvenience are you willing to tolerate for those calves or biceps as well?
My problem has nothing to do with pain or inconvenience. My problem is women having the sick mindset that they need to fix something when there's nothing to fix, something so minute to become some barbie doll. You said your wife didn't need lipo, but got it.
It's not the same thing as having small arms or calves because then there would actually be something to fix, as opposed to liposuctioning out a little fat that was barely there to begin with.
My problem is women who can't tolerate even the smallest imperfection, and more importantly, who start seeing problems that don't exist. Body dysmorphia leads to very serious problems. (not talking about your wife, don't know her obv).
