Word of the day – uniboob

From the surgeons interview quote below, I assume that uniboob is actually quite common in plastic surgery circles :

The procedure was supposed to be simple — swap out a pair of leaking breast implants for a brand new set. But for Dinora Rodriguez, a 40-year-old stay-at-home mom from Los Angeles, this simple cosmetic “fix” was the start of a plastic surgery nightmare.

“My breasts looked really bad,” she says. “It looked like I had one big breast instead of two. And the pain was terrible.”

According to Dr. Anthony Youn, a board-certified plastic surgeon in Troy, Mich., and an msnbc.com contributor, Rodriguez’s surgeon left her with a bad case of symmastia.

“It’s a uniboob,” he says. “It’s where the implant pockets are connected in the middle — and they definitely shouldn’t be.”

I think the “and they definitely shouldn’t be” there is a case of stating the bleeding obvious.

      microdave – “it could have been worse” was exactly what I was thinking when your link opened 🙂

      I think the phrase “more than a handful is wasted” applies there but for different reasons than the usual huge jugs scenario!
