Women are not nice to their bodies. And they never have been. Victorian women had their lower ribs removed in order to produce small waists. For hundreds of years the Chinese have bound the feet of young ladies to keep them petite and delicate. Americans inject toxins into their faces to appear a little younger and less stressed.

In fact the saying goes, “It’s better to look good, than to feel good.”

We’re willing to undergo actual pain to look good, but yet many of us are afraid of the slight discomfort of a mammogram. And if we’re not alive, what good is being pretty? Here are some other things women do for the sake of beauty:
· Lash tinting · Bikini wax – Have you seen the part of 40 year old virgin where Steve Carrell gets his chest waxed? Ouch!
· Stiletto heels
· Belly button piercing
· Tummy tuck (major surgery, like a c-section!)

So the next time you hesitate at getting your mammogram out of fear of discomfort, just think of the above and remember the most beautiful part of life is living it!

Oh, and check out our video that proves to you the Charleston Breast Center is NOT a little shop of horrors! What is the most painful part of your beauty regime?
