Teen with breast implants?

Hmm, I find it a bit odd that her doctor said it wouldn't affect her in any way. That seems bizarre to me. Although, I'm no doctor, so what do I know!

I can understand why you'd be on the fence about this. I do completely agree with dom180's comment, though. We all go through phases of insecurity now and again. I used to feel insecure about myself but now I feel a lot happier about myself and I'm really very comfortable with who I am (I'm 18, if that matters). Looking back now, if I were in a position were something like surgery was an option (it wasn't), I may have made what I now consider to be the wrong choice and I probably would have seriously considered getting it. Insecurity really ruins your perception of yourself and I think in that state of mind people can do desperate and irrational things.

However, this might not be a phase, and this may not be something your daughter can get over. I don't know what she looks like, but if this is something that feels genuinely debilitating to her, then I can definitely understand why you'd consider going to these lengths.

Personally, I think she's still a bit young. I'm 18 and still growing, both physically and mentally. I don't know what positions you two are in, but I think it'd be a good idea to wait a bit. See if this insecurity is a phase and something she can overcome so that she can feel comfortable with the way she is. Also, she would have grown up a bit more by then, and I imagine will be in a better position to make a rational decision. I was not in any position to make a good decision when I was 16. I'm not in a much better one now, though, to be honest. So just have a long, hard think about this and try to be as rational about this as yous can. I don't think I'm in any position to advise yous, and I understand that for your daughter this may go past the normal insecurities and therefore may need more drastic action. Go with what you think is best. Don't be hasty with it, though. Either way, good luck and I hope all goes well!

Lots of people (especially young people) are going to be very insecure about how they look, but changing the part of your body you are insecure about is treating the symptom rather than the root cause. I think she'd be better off if you taught her to love her body and be confident regardless of what she looks like, instead of modifying her appearance. That's just my opinion, though.

At least wait until she's older and in a better place to make a permanent decision about her body, independently.

It is a bit strange how a doctor said it wouldn't affect her, since she is just 16. Biologically, she is still developing and it is slightly astounding how a medical professional is willing to mess with a developing body.
At 16, I went to my doctor about my breasts in hope I would be accepted for breast implants. Although my doctor was sympathetic and understanding, he said there is nothing he can do because I was 16. I was advised to return when I'm around the age of 19 and then something will definitely be done about it. I'm 19 now and haven't returned. In these three years I haven't developed much physically but have mentally. My boobs still get me down from time to time and yes I sometimes wish I could wear bikini tops etc but I just cannot be bothered. I've realised there's more to life than having breasts and having a perfect appearance.
Overall, it's yours and your daughters decision. I don't see much of a problem with her getting implants, it's just her age. But that's my story anyway.

I would get a second and possibly third opinion from the best plastic surgeons in your area especially because she is so young. I am in favor of any plastic surgery by a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon whether it is medically necessary or not. We all know our own bodies and personal feelings about ourself and should be able to make our own decision without criticism from others. It is so important to have a positive self-image and if improving our body through plastic surgery is something that a person has considered and wants then definitely have a consultation with a plastic surgeon.
Both my daughter and I have had plastic surgery and it has been a positive experience with excellent results.
Please don't hesitate to do what you and your daughter are comfortable with.

If someone can't love her for who she is and needs her to be completely "normal" to be attractive to them, they aren't for her, someone should love her for her, she shouldn't need surgery to keep up with what is considered "pretty" by today's standards but it's your daughter so do whatever you want.

If it stops her from commiting suicide go for it.

Things like this can make you stronger sometimes you need to be knocked over just so you can get back up again.

Good luck with whatever you decide to do.

Wish my mom would do that for me! lol
