    The trend of young girls having breast augmentation has become quite alarming especially when an 18-year-old cheerleader from Florida named Stephanie Kuleba underwent a breast augmentation surgery on March 22 and died.

    Dr. Frederick Lukash, a plastic surgeon, said that he has performed many breast augmentations on girls under the age of 18 for a number of reasons.
