Post Weight Loss 16 Year Old Wants Brest Lift/Augmentation!
Looking for some input. I had WLS in 9/2009, I was successful at 115lbs weight loss and due to being 36 and single at the time I was in a rush for my plastics which I did in 11/2010 (TT/Breast Aug/Lift). It helped my "single gal" esteem tremendously! However, in hindsight, I had my plastics at the point where I was actually UNDER weight. I'm now creeping up on the 4 year mark and I've gained 50lbs back from my lowest underweight point. I could stand to lose 25lbs. I feel as though had I waited on my plastics my result would be different.
Anyway, I digress, my niece went to boarding school for the school year at Wellsprings Therapeutic School and she lost 80lbs. She is a 16 year old stunner! She is doing fabulous but she wants her "boobs fixed like Aunt Meg did". Um, great! If it were my child I would be making her wait until she is AT LEAST 18. I know that her body won't be done growing until her early 20's. She is tiny now, will she gain a little bounce back weight? She has only been home from school (where she will stay this upcoming year) for three weeks. My sister has consult appointments with surgeons. I feel that the doctors will want the money and not be honest that they think she should wait.
Am I wrong here? Does anyone have experience with teens and plastics after massive weight loss? I'm inviting any and all opinions. Does anyone know of any research done on this?
