Getting boob transplants risky for teens?


Question Posted Wednesday December 1 2010, 5:58 pm

Well i am 17 and i got my period when i was 14. My boobs haven't grown at all since then. I am a 32A (and thats still a little too big for me). I feel comfortable with my personality and body, except for the boobs. And i already talked to my mom about getting them "filled up" more. I was just wondering if you knew the disadvantages to that? And what problems could it cause? thanksss.

Breast implants have a lot of bad effects. The few I know about are development of scar tissue (which is painful), risk of infection, risk of rupture (random or by an accident- this means toxic liquid leaks into your body cavities) and a big one is the fact you will never be able to breastfeed any kids. Implants really aren't worth the risk- you could really regret them when you're older.

You've still got time for your boobs to grow! I'd give it some time- I know that sounds awful but I'm 18 and a an AA (not even an A!) but every female in my family is a C so maybe it's just slow development.

Being an A you can still look amazing- look at people like Keira knightley. I mean she has a gorgeous figure and her boobs suit her. Lots of beautiful athletes and gymnasts are A's too.
hope I helped xx

There is only one way to increase your breast size right now: Breast enlargement surgery. No pills or pumps or any such nonsense works in the long term.

Very few doctors will consider you a candidate for breast enlargement surgery until you are at very least 19-21. (Neither types of implants are approved for use in girls younger than 19 anyways). At seventeen you might feel as though you are done growing but you actually aren't. Your growth is slowing down, but you still have a year or two to go before your bones reach their final size. Long term studies about the effects on really young woman who have breast enlargement surgery don’t exist – but most people agree waiting to the early twenties when it is 100% certain that the bones are done growing is simply rational.

As for the long term disadvantages: The FDA states 40 percent of women with breast implants will have at least one serious complication within three years after the procedure. If you get implants at 20, you’ll likely end up having sugary once or twice a decade for the rest of your life to maintain your implants. You will not be able to breast feed. You will encounter problems being screened for tumours. Breast enlargement surgery isn’t a one time, wham bam operation, it’s with you for life. Everytime you are in an accident, or need to see a doctor, or get a scan, you'll have to deal with the complications of having implants.

I’d recommend against it, not because you should love yourself as you are (well duh), but because it’s actually a huge amount of trouble and people really underestimate the complications you’ll face. The vast majority of women have their implants removed within 10 years, either because they want them out, or because medically they must come out, and your body is never quite the same afterwards.

i wouldn't do it.

A. its fake.. why would you ever want to be "fake". same thing with tanning salons, plastic surgery, etc. its basically changing you... why would you ever want to change yourself? love you for WHO YOU ARE. boobs aren't everything.. who cares. if someone says "you have small boobs." tell them- "well i dont care. if you dont like them, don't look at them then" who really cares..? its boobs..

B. you're 17.. thats SO young still.. i'm 18 and i'm so confused on why people want to change who they are. especially so young..

C. yes there are a lot of disadvantages. i'm not totally sure but if you search on google "disadvantages of boob job" i'm sure you'll get PLENTY of results.

D. why would you want plastic crap infused in your body..? i'm all about organic/natural stuff. you might as well take carbon monoxide and inject it into your body. the chemicals in those are horrible for you... i even heard it leads to cancer sometimes. breast cancer and regular cancer.

so.. yeah. i mean, its your choice. but my opinon is that its a really ridiculous thing.. its stupid and pointless in my opinon. what good does it do for you? same thing with drugs and alochol.. how is it considered an advantage. yes big boobs gets you more guys, but have you considered what TYPE of guys it attracts..? guys that want sex pretty much. if you want a guy to LOVE YOU.. he will love you for who you are. not how big your boobs are. if a guy loves you because of your boobs size.. then he's an idiot who doesnt care about your feelings and only cares about sucking your tits. seriously. i've never heard of a honest marriage because the guy loves her boobs..

it doesn't do you any good. its fake and pointless. my opinon. but hey, your body. if you want to abuse it like that, go ahead. let me know when your 50 and wish you hadn't done it because of all the side effects and what not.

its like a tattoo.. you're gonna regret it because its like fashion. one day its considered cool and "hot".. then next few years it will be considered slutty and fake. tattoos are same concept. yes they are cool right now. but they are ink. PERMANENT. when you're 70, your skin is gonna wrinkle and you're gonna regret it. boobs jobs same concept. you're gonna regret it. best not to risk it.
