i dont get why someone this young would get breast augmentation???? one of my frind new this girl and he said she was one of the popular girls in school..... all the guys liked her and so many people wanted to be like her.. and she was a really down to earth girl... her life was great.... but she didnt like the way her boobs looked so she wanted a boob job... i think it was really bad what had happened to her... i am srry if u guys new her..... it look like she was a very kind person... she died to young...

she died from malignant hypertension which was triggered while she was under anesthesia, what they aren't telling you is that the facility in which she recieved the augmentation did not have the proper medication on hand in case of this reaction. the meds serve as like an anti-venom for a snake bite, once injected it brings you out of sedation. it's the doctors fault she's dead for not being properly certified and prepared for an allergic reaction.

its not the point...this tragedy opened up alot of peoples eyes..whether she died from the anesthesia or not..its rediculous that she put her life at risk.shes 18 and shes still a little girl. her parents are sick for letting her get them done, boobs are completely overrated. no one cares that much about what yours boobs look like, love your body the way it is, and the girl who said she got breast implants at age 17, your pathetic. your boobs probably werent even fully grown yet, spend ur parents money on something useful

There was no deformity for petes sake, it wasnt life threatening. So she had an inverted nip and one boob a bit smaller than the other....whoopie!! Guess that calls for a implants...Pathetic. She obviously liked showing off her old ones. Can imagine what she would have done with the new set. Put yourself out there like this and expect criticism...

Three things jump out at me from this article (ok...maybe 4 LOL).

1) 18 year old getting needless surgery. Yes, they say that this was a "corrective proceedure", but from the looks of her picture, the breasts that I see spilling out from her very low cut dress seem fine enough. Her body isn't finished developing yet and perhaps her very slightly smaller breast would have adjusted with maturity.

2) A Lexus? Really? An 18 year old kid driving a Lexus? I think perhaps the values in this home are a bit shallow.

3) read point #1 again. She's 18 years old and she's dressed with her boobs hanging out. She couldn't have been that embarrased by their appearance. It seems that she was very willing to show the world what she had.

This is a very sad story and my heart breaks for her family. Cosmetic surgery is being taken too lightly these days. Surgery is surgery. If you're not happy with what you have, get a Wonderbra! Don't go under the knife for something so frivilous.

I think it's ridiculous for an 18 year old to have breast implants. No one's breasts are perfect, and they do have bras to help out. If I ever caught my daughter dressing like the two girls in that picture, I'd be very upset. I understand about having low self-esteem, but to go under the knife to correct something that's completely mental, is completely stupid.

if she died from anesthesia complications, her death had nothing to do with her breast implants. she more than likely had malignant hypertension, in which she could have died regardless of if she was having breast implants, her tonsils removed, or any other type of surgery or procedure requiring general anesthesia.

This whole thing is disturbing to me! What parents would let their daughter get this kind of surgery at 18???? I am very sad for the family and wish that this never happened but maybe it's a lesson learned for other young girls who are wanting to have this type of surgery done. God bless this family!

Spend the money on specially made bras to even things out. When you are so young, you don't know if nature will take care of it without risking you life. The risk is not worth it for any reason. And YES, it is vanity. If it is that important to look a certain way, it is vanity.

If this was anyone else, you probably would be making a big deal....would you?

I'm surprised at how evil people are. This girl is laying in a coffin and people seem to be more concerned with her looking trashy in a photo. Wow. She was an adult and so wasn't Kanye West's mother, bottom line is they both died. We're not talking about an underage 15 year old here. She was just getting a correction, Kanye's mother was nipping and tucking everywhere, but because she's a mother, and she's old it makes it okay that she died? Sick sick people.

I couldnt have said it better. The only shallow people here are you people putting her down. What if this were your daughter? I think its shallow and disrespectful beyond beleif that youwould say hatful things about a people who just died! I am appauled at Americans sometimes. My condolences out the friends and Family of this teen.

Age had nothing to do with this particular incident. She had a REACTION to the anesthesia, which would have happened at 18, 21 or 50! It is very rare, but still a risk and this was just a very sad thing to happen to such a bright young woman.

She was correcting a deformity anyway, so I think it's unfair to call her shallow. Just because she didn't want to continue with something that made her feel embarrassed and less confident.

Besides, on the issue of plastic surgery in general, don't we all do pretty much what ever is within our means and wants to look better and feel more confident about ourselves? Wear make-up, dye our hair, buy expensive new jeans, try the latest cellulite cream? Just because someone has the money and desire to do something more drastic and permanent should not be seen as any more shallow than anything else. Because we all do it in our own little ways.

I feel sorry for this girls family, but they should have made her wait until she was over 21 years old to have this surgery. If these girls did not like to show there breast and wear revealing clothes it would not be a problem. Too many of these young girls are dressing like they are strippers instead of young women. When the parents put their foot down and stop the madness all these breast implants and other plastic surgeries are going to stop. We as women and mothers have to reinforce to our children that they are perfect and beautiful without all this madness. I blame all these so call movies stars who have breast implants that are so big that is all they have going for them. We need to teach our girls to have faith and self esteem about themselves, not that sh** they see on tv. Look at what is going on with Lindsey, Brittany , her sister and all the other young girls. Their lives are spoiled and they are nothing to look up to . Please before any more young girls die parents please try to talk to your daughters,tell them that their bodies are still changing and give nature a chance to fix whatever they think is wrong. Please, we cant afford to lose our future, please I will pray for this family and all of you that feel you must look like something that is not real.

the girls in that picture look so fake. they're going to grow up looking like Pamela Anderson. Yeah, i'd be really happy about that. Poor rich girls who want to look like tramps. There is much more to life than fake boobs, your Lexus and the popular crowd. Grow up!
