Mum buys girl boob job at 16

Amanda is youngest Brit to have op

By Rachel Richardson

THIS is the 16-year-old girl who's become the youngest Brit to have a boob job -because her mum wanted to make her HAPPY.

She bought the teenager, identified only as Amanda, the £4,000 op in Belgium to boost her from a 32A to a curvy 32D.

Mum Alison arranged it there because the procedure is BANNED in Britain for under-18s. She wanted to lift Amanda's spirits after her parents' divorce. And Alison had also had a boob job in Belgium five years earlier.

Speaking for the first time about the op, Amanda said: "I was 11 when Mum had her boobs done and I always thought, 'When I'm older this is how I want to look, to have big boobs.'"

She confessed: "I saw the change in her. She was unhappy before, but to see her happier made me realise that I'd like that one day."

Amanda told an ITV1 documentary: "I woke up, saw my mum and looked straight down. I was like 'Oh wow!' I could see they were a lot bigger. I didn't care about the pain. I was really happy."

But the controversial case has sparked outrage among medical experts. News of the World's Dr Hilary Jones said: "This is morally and ethically wrong. At 16 this girl is still developing.

"If she was unhappy with her breasts then she may have self-esteem or psychological issues. It sounds like she may have needed counselling, not surgery."

But Alison said the op was right for her daughter. She added: "Until you're in the situation and you've got a daughter that's unhappy then you can't judge anyone for what they do to make their kids happy."

Teen Boob Jobs: Too Much Too Young is at 10pm on May 15 (ITV1).
