At 24, Lucy Doig is determined to make a change to her body that she’s dreamed about for years. After struggling with a flat chest since her teenage years, she hoped her body would change after having a baby. However, when that didn’t happen, she decided it was time to take matters into her own hands. Lucy is now seeking help from strangers to fund a breast augmentation, and through a GoFundMe page, she aims to raise £7,500 to achieve her dream of fuller breasts.
Lucy’s journey with her body image has been shaped by the constant struggle with her small bust. “I’ve always wanted a boob job,” she says, recalling how, as a teenager, she was convinced that if her breasts didn’t grow on their own, she would get surgery. Her mother assured her that her body would eventually catch up, but by the time she reached her twenties, Lucy realized her chest wasn’t changing. Even after the birth of her daughter in 2019, it became clear that her bust wasn’t going to grow without intervention.
The cost of breast implants, ranging from £3,500 to £8,000, has always been a barrier for Lucy. As a result, she turned to crowdfunding, setting up a GoFundMe page to raise the necessary funds. Lucy, who is currently not working, received an initial donation of £10 but remains optimistic that the remainder will come in as people understand her decision. She’s candid about her reasons for seeking surgery, explaining that it’s not about vanity but about feeling more feminine and confident in her own skin.
Though Lucy has never undergone any cosmetic procedures, her goal is simple: she wants to look in the mirror and see the woman she envisions herself as, while she’s still young. “I love everything about being a woman, and I want to embrace it fully,” she explains. Lucy envisions a D cup size but understands the challenges of achieving that due to her slender frame. While she jokes about the potential of her surgery becoming addictive, she clarifies that she isn’t looking to emulate celebrity figures like Katie Price, but simply wants to feel better about herself.
Despite facing insecurities about her body, Lucy has used humor to cope with her situation, even poking fun at her small bust on occasions like Pancake Day. However, for her, this isn’t just about physical appearance—it’s about confidence, self-expression, and feeling empowered as a woman. Lucy’s story is a reminder that for many, body image is a journey, and for some, surgery is a path to achieving the confidence they de
serve.
