NYT's attempt to further normalize chopping off depressed teenage titties fails as the comment section is flooded with sanity and must be locked

Experts said that adolescent top surgeries were less frequent than cosmetic breast procedures performed on teenagers who were not transgender. Around 3,200 girls age 13 to 19 received cosmetic breast implants in 2020, according to surveys of members of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, and another 4,700 teenagers had breast reductions.

They’re giving boob jobs to kids?

Fuck all these degenerate cunts!

Hmm they include 18 and 19 year olds in their data…almost like they’re hiding shit. I bet they’ve done almost no breast implant ops on under 18 year olds and are actually trying to obfuscate to make out like mastectomies on children are no big deal.

Still degenerate cunts!

I'm willing to bet a vast majority of those 3200 are 18 or 19.

Also throwing in reductions, which often aren't (purely) cosmetic and are also a far stretch from a double radical mastectomy

Yeah, the grouping of 18/19 year olds in that augmentation data is ridiculously suspicious.

And even if there were thousands of 13 years getting breast implants, it’s a wholly reversible procedure unlike bilateral mastectomies.

Also of note is that they are comparing boob jobs to a double mastectomy. Putting in a synthetic pillow is largely reversible. Like yes a teenager should not be getting a boob job but in the event it's done, they actually can reverse the procedure by removing the prosthetic through the small incision. The breast reduction also makes sense as a way to make a body part more manageable and to help with back pain. Chopping off fully healthy breasts for no reason is just irreversible to start with and they will be lucky if the scar isn't extremely obvious.

Need more fidelity in the statistics. There's legit reasons for mastectomies in kids but the list of reasonable justifications is short. Basically cancer.

they are telling on themselves by pre-empting their own admissions to chopping off tits with "b-but but, there's also this OTHER fucked up thing happening!"

like so you know it's fucked up, that's why you're pulling a whatabout.
