In all fairness, the procedure being described here is plastic surgery when, for example, one breast is not developing. All they are doing is correcting an unfortunate defect so the teen can look normal.

This is rather different from someone with a small B getting ’upgraded’ to DD.

A teenage girl who grows only one breast is going to be horribly embarrassed about it, and it could certainly affect her self confidence and self esteem as she grows up. I see no reason why she should have to go through school being teased, only to have this adjustment at 18.

Instead of opting for drastic and permanent measures like surgery, perhaps a helpful corrective undergarment could have been used to help these girls overcome the embarrassment of delayed and mismatched breast growth. When these girls grow up and their bodies develop further they might again have to face the same problem of uneven breast sizes all over again!

I guess the surgeon involved sums it up pretty well. There is a lot of stigma attached to appearance and it is not him who is at fault. Physical defects can lead to inferiority complexes in life and better than that are the surgeries. It at least makes a person capable of standing at parity with others in a society.
