That refers to both Jasmine Tridevil & her chest; the chest that now has three (3), count 'em one, two, [three breasts](http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/09/22/woman-gets-third-boob-jasmine-tridevil_n_5862184.html)! > [@HuffPost](#): > > She told Real Radio 104.1 that she reached out to more than 50 doctors before one agreed to perform the surgery. The operation involved taking skin tissue from her abdomen, adding a silicon implant and grafting it between her two, natural breasts. > “It was really hard finding someone that would do it too because they’re breaking the code of ethics,” she said. Really, more than 50 docs? That’s perseverance! > [@Jasmine Tridevil](#): > > A Florida woman spent $20,000 to get a third boob surgically implanted on her chest in a twisted attempt to look less attractive to men. > > “I don’t want to date anymore,” Jasmine Tridevil, 21 Methinks this might backfire. Guys, do you want to date a girl with _two_ cleavages? ---

I don’t believe it’s real. The story is far too sketchy. And surely it’s not even medically possible to lop off enough skin for a graft to make a breast? I doubt the shadiest of surgeons would consent, even if it were possible. Even if it was true, I guess she would have succeeded in her goal. I sure wouldn’t want anything to do with that woman. ---

Without knowing if it’s true or not, 21 seems awfully young to be making such a drastic change that would be with her for her whole life. > [@](#): > > “I don’t want to date anymore,” Jasmine Tridevil, 21 If only there was some easier way to achieve the same thing. ---

I realize that one probably sourced it to the wire & others ran with it w/o checking it themselves but there are numerous legitimate news agencies running this story. I find it interesting that a person with the last name of Tridevil has 3 boobs. Yeah, it was destiny. :dubious: ---

Sure it’s possible - doctors reconstruct TWO breasts all the time for women who have undergone double mastectomy. It can be a rather involved process but it certainly is possible. ---
