My daughter wants a boob job

It was me that made the comment sorry if I have upset anyone. My neighbour has had implants for years and told me that she cannot have a mammogram because of this. I believed her and thought this was true.

Someone else was advising her mum to tell her that

Yes they do but that is the risk that comes with it. I'm confused what I've lied about? I didn't post the comment saying people with implants can't have mammograms?

Plenty of people with implants have mammograms with no issues though, and at 25 I’m sure she can find that out herself. Why lie?

In case this helps, there is Normal Breasts Gallery (NSFW):

You can but there is a risk of rupture.

That was my point really. DD's breasts are unlikely to be absolutely identical, but the difference will be tiny and having one of them modified with surgery surely can't be guaranteed to make them identical. Perhaps she is thinking of having both done, but even then... I hope DD can get some good counselling before having invasive surgery.

OP says she’s can’t see any difference.

Some women can have major discrepancy, but that doesn’t sound like what’s going on here.

Oh gosh. Maybe there is a small difference in size but what are the chances of surgery making them identical? Have you researched stories of women having surgery for a similar problem?

It sounds like there’s more going on than concern about breasts here, has the breakup made her feel particularly insecure?

She's a fully grown adult. I'd support her. Advise she has a counselling first to workout why she wants them.

You are assuming she wants kids. She may not.

Yes you can

Implants weigh roughly the same as natural breast tissue.

I have one that "sags" slightly lower than the other, they are probably asymmetrical too but I've never paid much attention. Boobs are sisters, not twins. It's normal for them not to be identical x

This is not true at all. I don't know if the person was stating it as such to lie or thinks it is true. But it is not. Always talk to your doctor of course..
In terms of breast feeding, the only things that would affect that are if she does get implants, how they were implanted (above or below the muscles), and/or if not either way if reconstruction of one and say, a nipple was moved, that one breast may be affected. While the other breast could still breast feed, doing so would more likely result in once again having asymmetry. However, down the line one would want to get a newer boob job anyway so no big deal.
My oldest sibling had implants and breastfed all five of her children! She eventually had them removed, however. She didn't realize having children can potentially give you a growth spurt and she grew bigger than a double D...Back pain is worse with fake books as they are heavier than the weight of same size real boobs...
Interesting fact of the day by

~ FancyBean 😂. ,

Is there a chance there's a less nuclear option for her if the difference isn't too pronounced, like a fat transfer?

Hopefully you'll get a good surgeon who can help and not someone who is seeing pound signs as she walks in.

Can’t stress enough how important it is to make an informed decision. Check this out:

Wonder if you'd feel differently if she wanted a breast reduction?
My parents supported me through one when I was 16. Best decision and I have never regretted it.

Ultimately her decision and if she's sure it'll bring her more confidence and happiness then surely it's a no brainer. It's so common nowadays!

So tricky for you OP. I know she is an adult, but I would feel the same as you in your position.

I also am lopsided in the boob department, even more so after breast feeding. I was only an A cup before that, so it was less noticeable.

i would gently try and encourage “body neutrality” and normalising bodies of all shapes & sizes. See if you can get her to follow Tori the Therapist on Instagram. She has some great reels about body acceptance and normalising the normal!!

You are offering to pay for her to get a procedure even though she isnt self conscious about it? On the one hand telling her not to worry about something about her body that she is conscious of, but then pointing out something else.

I appreciative some people have had very successful outcomes, but my sister has had to have 3 surgeries now and will likely need another. Its been an ongoing cost and her finances have changed making this hard.

I also dont think that perfect symmetry is achieved by surgery most of the time. I have seen great outcomes after breast cancer surgery but if you genuinely cant see a difference when you looked then this is not likely to work as she hopes.

I also think they will pressure her to go up a size.

This sounds like a really good idea to get a balanced view.
I didn't have low self-esteem about my boobs, I was just annoyed that they weren't as nice as they used to be. My boob job did boost my confidence though and I haven't regretted it at all.
