I just want to be feminine, please help!!! I'm 29yrs old, 110lbs and 5.1" tall. I'm always told I'm beautiful but I don't believe it because I know what I look like when naked. This has ruined all my relationships and I've been single for over 3yrs now!!!

Arm surgery?

With all due respect, I agree with my colleagues that you may best be served by a experienced counselor, not a surgeon.

I am hopeful that you will heed this advice and avoid falling into the hands of a inexperienced/unethical surgeon. Unindicated surgery may result in scars–irregularities that cannot be fixed. Best wishes.
