If a MARRIED christian sister chose to get breast augmentation (breast enhancement), while obviously appearing bigger... would her congregational privleges be taken away even if she continues to dress modestly and keep this decision private and to herself?
(Please no personal opinions... just looking for answers on this subject.)

No.
Incidentally, there seems no reason to specify that the sister is married.

As long as she knows that this is what she wants and has weighed the pros and cons, then she should do what she feels necessary. It is not the congregations business or anyone elses for that matter. If she continues to dress modestly then she is still following bible standards.

I don't think it would be a problem unless the enhancement is HUGELY different lol.
BUT- I'm pretty sure a woman (married and otherwise) would be strongly counseled against getting it done because 1) it's a fleshly matter and we're supposed to be focused on spiritual things 2) it can be VERY dangerous! Why risk life and ... *ahem*... limb to undergo an unnecessary procedure that's really of no true benefit. There is more to life than physical attraction and we're supposed to think about and work toward the "more important things".

If the sister's sincerly looking for help on the matter, SHE would have to consider the scriptures, not other peoples opinions, One choice for her or anyone conscerning appearance can be found at......
1 Tim 2:9 modesty and soundness of mind....
As for other peoples answers or opinions its not our call....
1 Pet. 4:15 let non of YOU (me) suffer as a busy body in other peoples MATTERS.
Im a firm believer in Gal 6:5 when it comes to decisions conscerning other people ; each one will carry his OWN load.

You'll be hard pressed to get anything but personal opinions.
However, consider if you had asked your question about someone getting a nose job, or having one's ears 'pinned back', or any other such procedure. What would the answer be?
Any surgical procedure has its risks. And they should be weighted carefully.
Whether that would interfere with her privileges would depend upon the congregation and her attitude toward the procedure.
Where can I find a copy of the "Bedroom Laws" book?

I do not see anyone in the congregation minding what bra size a sister wears.... if she dresses modestly there's no problem.
If she keeps on wearing the same old tops there'll be problems of course, but if she adjusts her wardrobe as well..... well, who'd care?

Of course not, just as when a Sister I know had her breasts reduced for health reasons. It didn't effect her ability to be a Christian.

What is your fascination with 'What if' questions?
I really don't see where this would make a difference one way or another.
This is a question where you will most likely get nothing but personal opinions.

She's a thinking individual with the right to choose what's she feels is best for her body, and if nobody knows and she's a modest person, then that's her business.....period.
