Nothing Says A Mother-Daughter Bond Like Matching Breast Implants
Daniella, 21 years old, told her mother that she was committing to breast implants after years of torment and bullying over her small chest. And her mother’s first response was not support — but envy:
“I was so envious when my daughter told me she was having a boob – but only because I’ve wanted it myself for 30 years. I’ve been flat chested all my life and unfortunately I’ve passed the genes down.”
The pair scheduled surgery for the same day and are apparently delighted with the results, having increased their 32As to a C and D cup respectively. The mother credits her little girl with giving her the “push” to get the procedure, as after four babies, self-confidence didn’t seem like a priority. While it’s disappointing to see a media spotlight placed upon mothers and daughters who bond over something as menial as breast implants, their shared experience is just one of many in a new cultural narrative of mommy-sanctioned nose jobs, breast implants, and liposuction. Not only is mom okay with elective surgery, she’s paying for it and getting said silicone for her daughter just in time for the junior prom.
Oh well, at least she’s not seven years old.
