Dad Threatens To Cut Off College Money For Daughter If She’ll Do A BBL Like She Has Planned

Plastic surgery is a highly divisive topic – everyone seems to have an opinion about it, but these opinions differ significantly. Some people think it’s perfectly acceptable, while others consider it one of the worst decisions a person can make. 

These differences were highlighted in today’s story. In it, a dad and his daughter had very differing opinions on one popular plastic procedure, and their disagreement went so far that it started to threaten the teen’s future.

    In his eyes, the procedure is way too dangerous and is just not worth it

    The OP’s daughter is supposed to go to college soon. Her grandfather left all his grandchildren some money for school or a house. Over 10 years since then, the post’s author has been adding some money to that fund, expanding it. In addition to all of that, the daughter has been saving some money herself. 

    So, one day, the father decided to ask her what she was planning to do with all the saved funds. And he found out that she is planning to get plastic surgery, or a BBL to be more specific. 

    This terrified the man, as he had heard rather a lot of bad things about this procedure, and thus didn’t want his daughter to do it. He started telling her she shouldn’t do it, because she looks fine as she is, but her rebuttal was that it was her money, so she could do whatever she wanted with it.

    That’s when the dad decided to go a harsher route and threaten her that if she goes through with it, he won’t be paying her college expenses. This infuriated the teen, as she couldn’t believe he would go back on his word just like that. 

    On one hand, we see where the father is coming from here – BBLs are, in fact, dangerous. During this procedure, the fat from other parts of the body is transferred to the backside to increase their size and create a more rounded appearance. And since in recent years many celebrities have been getting this surgery, it has skyrocketed in popularity, even though the risks of complications are high.

    In fact, it’s not simply dangerous – it’s considered to be one of the most dangerous procedures one can do due to its high mortality rates. You see, during the surgery, the fat is injected there with a long metal tube. It can be hard for surgeons to know precisely where they are injecting the fat, as this is rather a “blind” technique, where they go by approximation.

    Thus, there’s a possibility that the fat might be injected in the wrong place. For example, blood vessels, which the backside have a lot of, are linked to the vein directly connected to the heart. If fat is injected into them, it can obstruct blood circulation, which may be fatal or, in the “best” case scenario, serious complications. 

    So, it’s normal for the father to be nervous about his daughter getting this surgery done. Plus, as some netizens pointed out, 18 might be slightly too young an age to get it – what if her body naturally gets curvier, like she wants, over the next couple of years?

    At the same time, it’s kind of unfair for him to cut her college fund for this and stunt her future plans. As other netizens said, maybe finding a better way to convince her against this idea would be better than blackmailing her like this.

    Which side are you taking? Please, share your thoughts with us!

    Netizens were split in their opinions some agreed with the dad, while others said he shouldn’t blackmail his daughter

    I'd do two things. Number one, I'd tell her she has to go to a therapist, because wanting plastic surgery of this magnitude at 18 is far more likely to be body dysmorphia than any legitimate need. Number two, I'd tell her she needs to wait until after she graduates from college. At 18 your brain is not an adult. Your prefrontal cortex isn't fully jelled until 25, so 18 is not a time to be making this kind of possibly life threatening decision based on vanity and neurosis. Otherwise, I'd tell her I will not pay for you to go to college. If you're old enough to p**s away money like this, then your old enough to live with the consequences of foolish choices. Nobody owes you college. It's a privilege not a right.

    And on top of that, celebs have been having their BBLs removed in droves. While lots of ‘em haven’t been happy with ‘em, big bottoms is no longer a trend. If this little dope doesn’t know that, she may find herself a laughingstock among her peers. (And I won’t even get into the horrid stench that seems to come with ‘em; I can’t tell you how many articles I’ve seen that say it’s much harder to keep your bottom clean when there are filled plastic casings mooshing their cheeks tightly together.) This seems to be a horrible decision for several reasons, not least of which is her family being wildly unhappy with it. (I keep thinking of all the, er, oral shenanigans she’ll miss out on if she’s stinky! I’m feeling sad for her in anticipation of the loss. 😰)

    BBL is an extremely dangerous surgery and no decent plastic surgeon in the US does it. OP can't stop her, but he should at least make her aware of all the risks and side-effects (you know, like death). $12,000 is nothing for a surgery like this, and what if corrective surgery is needed? How will she pay for that?

    BBL - b**t lift, not back lift - is insanely dangerous. The result is ugly as sin.
