High School Cheerleader Dies of Apparent Breast Surgery Complications, Friends Say

Has she tried physical therapy?

There isn't anything that will help this. I had a reduction and it was the best thing I ever did. Imagine having to wear a bra all the time, even when relaxing at home. Imagine that you have to wear a bra under a nightgown if you want to look nice and not like a cow. I had my reduction over 10 years ago and it's only now that the lines on my shoulders are going away from the bra straps digging in my skin.

I'd go topless if I could, I'm so happy with the freedom of having normal boobs.

I doubt she had the resources to pay for her own breast surgery. After all, it would not be covered by insurance.

I am neither an editor or a judge.

[SoothingDave]

And men, how many of you have seen a women remove her top and then privately thought to yourselves, "She's hot but she sure has ugly boobs!"

At that point, who cares? Boob job boobs are for public, not private consumption.

[Xenalyte]

We’re not blaming her for having an allergic reaction. That would be stupid.

We’re blaming her for having unnecessary elective surgery, which was a choice she did not have to make.

[SeaHawkFan]

In her reserved "senior" parking spot, the one where she parked her white Lexus every school day, friends placed more flowers, teddy bears and pictures.

Organizers charged $1 for each candle at the vigil - money that will be given to Kuleba's family for expenses.

As if her parents need the money. They certainly no longer need the Lexus. In fact, their expenses will be noticably lower. I would assign much of the blame to the parents for this death, although the doctors/clinic will be rightfully hammered in a civil action.

[CDHart]

Some doctors are building their own surgery centers separate from a general hospital. They say that there is less chance of infection and of course, they make more of the money from the insurance company. But if complications arise, there may not be trained personnel ready to jump right in.

Yea It’s just sad. I have a daughter and would climb over a mountain of broken glass to dissuade her from NEEDLESS surgery like this. She was a very cute woman.

What happened that caused your daughter to no longer be a cute woman?

[stuartcr]

Is a license or special training required to assign blame?

[Phantom Lord]

You know why women have breats? So we have something to look at while talking to them.

I laughed before I smacked myself.

[spectre]

Maybe she had one breast slightly larger than the other and her parents gave her breast augmentation as a graduation gift?

Who knows?

[littlehouse36]

I know many girls who have had breast augmentation. I’ve known them before and after, and I have to say it rarely improves their looks. Especially on pear-shaped woman (i.e, the type who look very cute wearing overalls) — the new chest just throws everything off.

Just my .02.

[SoothingDave]

Maybe she had one breast slightly larger than the other and her parents gave her breast augmentation as a graduation gift?

Awfully shallow if her parents thought it was such a big deal. Nobody's perfect.

[Drew68]

At that point, who cares? Boob job boobs are for public, not private consumption.

They can be for both. I'm sure there are many women out there who have removed their tops and seen that look of disappointment on the face of a man they are about to be intimate with. Sad but true nonetheless.

[SeaHawkFan]

The family's attorney, Roberto Stanziale, told WPBF that the teen began having problems about one hour into the operation, which he said was meant to fix a breast deformity.

Just read this. Maybe we should be a bit more understanding of the reasons for the surgery; assuming the family attorney is being truthful.

[SoothingDave]

Assuming “deformity” means something more than “one side was slightly smaller than the other” or some other trivial imperfection.

[spectre]

Maybe it wasn't her parents who insisted on the surgery?

You'd be surprised how self conscious a young girl can be if she thinks her breasts aren't even. I know most of the women reading this know someone who can relate to this problem which is very common but not talked about openly.

I close friend was in a car wreck as a kid and because of injuries, one side simply didn’t develop. And yes, we live in a boob fixated world-— as any Hooters thread will show you here.

[najida]

I’m sure women are equally saddened when pants are removed also, maybe they’re just better at hiding disappointment.
