The best advice I have gotten about helping a friend or family member through a hard time, like a loss, is not to ask them what they need but to just do it. It can be really hard for some people to accept help, or to even recognize/remember what they need help with. Don't ask her if she needs anything, just be there and do it. Bring her groceries or a meal, come over and offer to clean while she takes a nap or watches a movie or something. If she has other kids - esp young ones who might not understand fully what is going on - go over and take them out somewhere for a few hours. If they are involved in activities like soccer or piano lessons, show up to drive them. There really isn't anything that will ease the hurt of her situation, but you can ease the burden of everyday life as she deals with the hurt.

But you could argue the same thing for any cosmetic procedure. If you have B cup boobs, which is normal, but you want DDs, is it ethical to expose them to the risk of surgery to satisfy their vanity? Brazilian Butt Lift surgery (BBL) have high rates of post-surgery complications (incl death) but are still performed regularly.

Not sure why people in this thread are acting like this one doctor is at the core of all that they think is wrong with cosmetic medicine…

I have two things to say. Firstly, The Way Way Back was the best movie I saw all summer (and I saw A LOT of movies). It was funny, charming, entertaining... It was all the good adjectives. So thank you. I couldn't contain myself during the scene where we first meet the cross eyed kid. It was SO funny! Honestly, you guys did an amazing job, thank you for putting this into the world! Second, time for an actual question (this is an AMA afterall). Would you ever consider writing a sequel? Maybe the kid returns the next summer to work at the park again or something like that.

DD boobs on the same person who previously had B and got an augmentation would be bigGER.

Obviously size is subjective in general but if you go from one size to a different one within a day because you get literal breast implants, congrats you now have bigger boobs.

What made you pursue academia/research as a career?

In HS, when applying to university, I always thought it was something I'd be interested in maybe pursuing. Absolutely wholeheartedly believed I'd at least go to grad school. I'm now halfway through my undergrad and can't imagine spending even an extra day than is necessary in school for my degree.
