Woman with 32K breasts launches breast reduction appeal

A young woman with a 32K bust has launched a desperate online appeal to fund a breast reduction operation.

Jasmin-Alexandra Vlassi, 20, from Stonehouse in South Lanarkshire, says she ‘can’t remember the last time she was happy with her body’ and is asking strangers to help her raise the cash needed for the £7,000 operation via a crowdfunding website.

The 20-year-old also has Chronic Recurrent Multifocal Osteomyelitis (CRMO), a rare bone disease, which she says makes the pain from her breasts even worse.

So far Jasmin, who says she is ‘not the richest of the bunch’, has saved a £1,000 deposit for the procedure but is asking strangers to help her raise more.

Donations have already flooded in, far exceeding her initial £100 target to raise a total of £270. 

Writing on her GoFundMe page this week, Jasmin said: ‘I have always hesitated to make one of these pages as I know there are people that deserve help so much more. 

‘I have had to make the choice to go private to receive a breast reduction I have longed for since I was young.

‘I won’t write my sob story as I don’t want to bore anyone, I would love if anyone could spare even a tiny amount to help towards the cost. I have a £1,000 deposit to pay and the other few thousand I will be able to pay up. 

‘Any help would be grately [sic.] appreciated and if anyone has any questions or anything please send a message! The amount of girls I’ve had saying they’d like to do the same is unreal. I’d love to help anyone I can.’

Jasmin admitted she was 'petrified' about setting up the crowdfunding appeal, adding: 'I started to notice that I was different in PE class when at 13 years old'

And writing on Facebook after launching her appeal, Jasmin explained: ‘After eight years of struggling to breathe, to move, to do certain activities, settling for clothing that just “doesn’t fit”, unwanted comments, feeling so worthless that I believed all I was good for was two lumps on my chest.

‘I am finally getting the chance to change my life. I am so happy I’ve wanted this so long!! 

‘I am sad to be giving up some very amazing things in my life for a while as I’ll need time to heal, but I know this is the right decision and I can’t believe it’s finally real after years of being told No. I can’t wait to finally feel comfortable in my own body!’

Speaking to the Daily Record, Jasmin admitted she was ‘petrified’ about setting up the crowdfunding appeal, adding: ‘I started to notice that I was different in PE class when at 13 years old.

‘I felt embarrassed to run in front of the opposite sex, so I’d do anything I could to get out of taking part.

‘I set [the appeal] for £100 on Go Fund Me because I don’t want to ask too much of people. I know it’s just after Christmas and people have their own things to deal with as well. 

‘I need to pay a £1000 deposit, and the operation cost depends on whether they feel my breasts need to be lifted or not.’
