According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) statistics, more than 331,000 cosmetic plastic surgery procedures were performed on people age 18 or younger in 2005. If you think that’s quite a lot, then think about how that would soar high this year, considering that more and more teens are getting thrilled about getting their bodies done or look like their favourite model or celebrity.
Though this has not been strictly followed, there are actually specific guidelines on teen cosmetic surgery that cosmetic surgeons need to really obey.
A breast augmentation blog shares these important details:
Inappropriate operations for teenagers:
• Breast enlargement is not done before the age of 18 because late development may occur
• Liposuction is not a solution for unwanted baby fat. Most teens experience major changes in the body shape for several years
• Cheek implants produce subtle results. It is unlikely that the average teen is able to evaluate the benefits adequatelyAppropriate operations for teenagers:
• Rhinoplasty is the most common cosmetic procedure requested by teens. The nose has finished most of its growth by 13 or 14 in girls and 15 or 16 in boys
• Otoplasty (ear pinback) is one of the few operations performed on young children, even as young as 5
• Breast reduction can help girls as young as 15 who are embarrassed by very large breasts. They may have shoulder pains, breathing difficulty and embarrassment in social situations. Even though operations to correct breast asymmetry can help girls as young as 16, most doctors would wait until full growth has occurred
• Gynecomastia (Excessive breast development on men) is common in teenage boys and often disappears on its own. If severe the excess tissue can be removed as young as 16
• Chin augmentation may be suitable after the age of 15. Chin implants are often inserted at the same time as a rhinoplastyTeens need to be continuously guided and enlightened as they make decisions for themselves. As they struggle with their growing bodies, they end up thinking about things that they want to have and want to be. They are susceptible to depression and emotional support is often the one that is lacking, that’s why they demand on getting cosmetic surgery as if they are just asking for a new dress.
Plastic surgeons, on the other hand, should also reconsider before admitting a young patient for a purely cosmetic procedure. As much as everyone’s opening up to the benefits of cosmetic surgery, there still are limitations to this area. And these limitations need to be specifically addressed before irreparable damage can occur because of unnecessarily crossing the line.
