Abby Wu was just 14 when she had cosmetic surgery for the first time.
After receiving hormone treatment for an illness, Abby’s weight increased from 42kg (6 stone 8lbs) to 62kg (9 stone 11lbs) in two months.
The change hadn’t gone unnoticed by her drama teacher.
“My teacher said, ‘You were our star but now you’re too fat. Either give up or lose weight fast,’” recalls Abby, who was preparing for her drama exams at the time.
Abby’s mother stepped in, taking her to get liposuction to remove fat from her belly and legs.
Abby remembers her mother’s words as she waited in the clinic in a hospital gown, nervous about the impending operation.
“Just be brave and walk in. You’ll become pretty once you’re out.”
The surgery was traumatic. Abby was only given partial anaesthesia and remained conscious throughout.
“I could see how much fat was extracted from my body and how much blood I was losing,” she says.
Depends on their height. But a 14 year old having a 50% increase in weight in a short period of time would be something that you would check with a doctor on. If she is average height for a woman in China (about 160cm) then it puts her at the upper limit of normal BMI. But at 14, that puts her at risk of obesity as an adult.
Things are always a bit more gray if you don’t have all the details.
While I give you that we don’t know the details there’s the chance this is not the case yes but, coincidentally my daughter is 13 and she is like 150% heavier because she is just growing she’s 1,65 (while I’m 1,69 for reference)she just grew from looking like a child (1,20) to a young woman how the fuck that’s not normal?. And please don’t use BMI is proven Bullshit.
