Two on the back, not just one. And before I forget: _When God created woman, She had not two breasts but three. When the middle one got in the way God performed surgery. Women stood before God with the middle breast in hand. She said, “What do we do with the useless boob?” And God created man!_ ---

The [local news](http://www.abcactionnews.com/news/region-tampa/doubts-raised-about-tampa-womans-surgery-claims) reported that she was using a different name last year when she was interviewed about making some guy who hit her hold a sign and wear a dunce cap in public. She sounds like a real attention seeker. I think it’s a prothetic because they would not only have to graft enough skin and find something nipple like for it but the other boobs might have to be made smaller or moved over. In that picture of her where she’s wearing the choker, something doesn’t look right about her neckline. And here’s the kicker, she doesn’t want attention but she’s shopping a reality show? I kind of have to agree with everyone else commenting on the facebook page for the local new station, why is this news and if this woman is seeking attention why are they giving it to her? ---

An acquaintance posted this on a group Facebook page yesterday and it smelled like BS to me then. If she wanted to be more unattractive to men why would she add a breast? IMO, that would make her 33% more attractive. ---

> [@Wile\_E](#): > > I think it’s a prothetic because they would not only have to graft enough skin and find something nipple like for it but the other boobs might have to be made smaller or moved over. Although it now seems certain that her claim is so much bovine fecal material, this IS possible… if anyone seriously wanted to do it and could talk a doctor into it. As I said - breast reconstruction IS possible and is done every day. If surgeons can find/graft enough material on a cancer patient to give her two new breasts (or breast-like lumps) then doing a third on a healthy woman is entirely possible. In the article itself it’s stated she used tattooing to create and “areola” and a “nipple” - which is also standard reconstruction and in fact there is at least one tattoo artist that now _specializes_ in such tattooing. As for finding room between two natural breasts - after the effort of making breast #3 sure, they could shift things around a bit on the two natural ones. So, no, this story is not true BUT it is, in fact, _plausible_ from a technical standpoint. ---

If she wanted to be more unattractive to men why would she add a breast? IMO, that would make her 33% more attractive. D- on percentages. It would be 50% more attractive (3 is 50% more than 2). Then if she lost one, she would be 33% less attractive (2 is 33% less than 3). See how that works? Some people will believe anything. That’s my comment on this story. ---
