18 year old girl dies during breast surgery

But, let's say a person is on a morale crysis/breakdown/depression line because of some body part "weird look" thing. This kind of situation can be explosive, espec. in 16-21 age group. A girl with a body abnormality, maybe asymmetric breats or even just "smaller" body parts can put a teenage girl in danger of morale crysis.

There's far less drastic methods of dealing with depression than expensive surgery. Therapy, medication, counseling, even new friends would come in first, and while I necessarily don't agree with those choices they're all priorities before you stick the knife in.

Oh, and I also saw what you did there. :shifty:

Yikes, what a bunch of Chicken Littles we have here. Oh, no! A girl died during surgery, we'd better start outlawing surgery! Blame the parents!

Young? She was 18, not a toddler. If she wanted bigger tits, then that's her decision.

But what gets me the most is the e-surgeons here blaming it on the breast surgery. Hey, maybe we should read the article and discover that it was a fatal reaction to the anesthesia. An allergy, if you will. Nothing to do with breasts. Look at it this way - if she'd never had the breast surgery and, say, went to get her wisdom teeth taken out while sedated when she was 26, she'd probably have still died!

Good point.

Or maybe the surgeons/anesthesiologist made a mistake, or maybe the anesthesia used for this surgery is different than a wisdom teeth pull. Heck, it's more likely than not that her wisdom teeth are already out. There are too many missing facts in this particular case to make any "sound judgements," if we wanted to play God for a bit.

However, this story highlights the dangers of surgery, which is a big trauma to the body itself and death is always a possible side effect. And raises awareness of those women who will risk their life for bigger boobs.

No, the story highlights the dangers of being deathly allergic to anesthetics. Saying that surgery is dangerous because one in a million people die from anesthetic allergy complications is like saying that PB&J sandwiches are inherently dangerous because some people are deathly allergic to peanuts and that we may be risking out lives every time we eat one.

Major surgery is dangerous. Period. The reason for that danger not only include fatal reactions to anesthetics and various other meds, but also surgeon error, supportive staff error, etc. etc. It would be ridiculous to say that surgery is dangerous simply because you can have the same reaction to anesthesias as this girl did.

The point is that women subject themselves to such a life-risking procedure in vain....in pursuit of bigger boobs. But as you said earlier, it's their choice and their body, they have every freedom in the world to do so.
 
Don't we all make choices like that? I know that every time I go out on my motorcycle there's a chance I won't come back. But that doesn't stop me from doing it and I don't have to ride a motorcycle. It's a choice I make, it's fun, and it makes me happy. I don't see how that's much different than this woman and her surgery.

Well, it is her body and her choice and her freedom. So if we are equating breast surgery with PBJ sandwiches and motorcycle rides....well then everything in life carries a certain risk. After all, what's life without death?

I guess if you DO derive alot of happiness from bigger boobs then so be it. I'll actually opt for a motorcycle ride after a delivious PBJ sandwich! :cool:

If I recall correctly, most women do not have exactly symmetrical breasts - same way our feet are not necessarily identical.

Anyway, poor girl. My thoughts are with her family.

Also, 10,000 breast operations to under-18s last year in the US? That worries me...Also, who gives their daughter a boob job for a birthday present / graduation present? That says to them "Hey the way you look sucks, here's a voucher to get it better!", and somehow I don't think that's the right message to send out to under 18s...

Its an obsession here that I don't understand. I feel a girl is most beautiful in her all natural state (no make-up or surgery or anything like that) That is a rare girl however.

I'm fine with make-up (at least if it's a light amount of it), but I agree, all natural is far better, and respectable.
 
A 16-year-old girl from my school asked for bigger tits as a birthday present.
My classmate who's 18 will undergo a major surgery soon because she thinks she's too fat (she's about the only one who thinks so).

Crazy world :(
 
^ What does 16 year old girl need big breast for? Is she going to become porn star in the future? :dunno: That sucks. 16 year old girl should enjoy being a child and occupy herself with childish issues.
 
^ Yeah, and for god's sake, how can she know at 16 how big her breats will be when they stop growing?

Yep because surgery scares are super sexy. :rolleyes:
 
18 year old girls should not have breast surgery in the first place...
 
To me the irony is that is the "boobs vs ass" thread, ass is the clear leader. It appears us chaps much perfer a nice bum to big boobs. Maybe this is the message that these young lasses need telling.

"Forget the knife, get on the treadmill!"

:)
 
I personally value, aesthetically, both of those on a girl:lol:. But getting yourself killed just to make your damn boobs bigger? It isn't worth it. Really isn't.

Best point ever, and most guys that perfer boobs don't want them sagging, and eventually bigger ones do.

Ya. Growth termination differes at varying ages but the govenrment arbitrarily set 18 as the "adult age."

They say the frontal cortex (the part of brain that does higher cognitive thinking and whatnot) does not fully develop until you're 25. With the way things are these days, some people might be missing that entirely.....

Two girls I went to high school with got boob jobs when they were 15 or so. Both of them were A/B cup girls for as long as I knew them and the summer between Freshman and sophomore year they went up to D cups at least and maybe even a Double D. Tits just can't grow that fast in less then six weeks. It started out as just a rumor but was confirmed before the end of the year.


On the other hand my wife had A cups all through high school but mid way through her freshman year of college her body all of a sudden decided to give her a real set of tits. I didn't know her at the time but she told me that about midway through her fall semester she noticed her bras not fitting anymore. By spring semester all of a sudden she couldn't wear any bras anymore and when she had herself remeasured she was a C Cup instead of an A Cup. The whole process took almost six months though.
