Chester - A 12-year-old girl who started secondary school only this term is to become the youngest person in Britain to have a breast implant, after suffering "enormous psychological distress" over her appearance.
An expanding balloon of silicone filled with saline solution, adjustable through a tiny button in the side of her breast, will be inserted in a £1,000 operation paid for by the National Health Service.
The operation will take place in January after final talks with the girl and her mother. Both are committed to the surgery, which will correct abnormal lack of growth in one breast.
