Teens and Plastic Surgery



According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) there are many different reasons why teenagers opt for plastic surgery. For most teenagers it is a way to fit in and be more acceptable to their friends and peers and a way to boost their self confidence. In the year 2005 alone more than 300,000 people under 18 years of age opted to undergo plastic surgery.

For some of this teens, the procedure could be as simple as dermabrasion ( a simple procedure to help smoothen or lessen the appearance of acne scars) or it could be as major as nose reshaping (Rhinoplasty) and breast augmentation.

One of the things that a teenager should consider before going for surgery is the cost and real benefit they will get from this cosmetic procedures. It is important for them to understand that undergoing plastic surgery is not the only solutions to their problems and should not be the only option they should consider. They should have realistic expectations of whatever benefits they would gain from it. It is important for parents and doctors alike to determine whether the teenager who wants plastic surgery is mature enough to understand the accompanying temporary disfigurement and discomfort they will have to endure while they are recovering from surgery.

Male breast enhancement surgery is not about giving a man what would be considered womanly breasts. While most typical conversations surrounding breast enhancement centers around breast implants to give larger breasts, this is not what male breast enhancement does. Male breast enhancement is not going to enlarge the chest with breasts but rather the surgery is going to enhance a man's chest with muscle tone. A lot of men will hit the gym in an attempt to give themselves that muscular chest. The sad part is though that a lot of men will still never achieve the desired look no matter how much they work out at the gym. It is when the gym and all that weight lifting fail that cosmetic surgery can help to give a man the look he is desiring. This form of cosmetic surgery is also used not only to give a man a masculine chest but also to correct certain chest deformities that a man may have.

Pectoral implants are used by surgeon to
give a man the appearance of highly placed firm pectoral muscles. The implants are made from solid silicone. This silicone have been safely used for decades in the medical field. Unlike the implants that are used on women, these can not leak or rupture. Therefore they can safely use silicone versus the use of saline solution in women's implants. Since women's implants can leak or rupture they no longer can use silicone gel inside those implants. The implants can come in an assortment of sizes and shapes and are used to imitate a man's own natural shape of muscular pectoral muscles.

The procedure for pectoral implants is done usually in the surgeon's office or an outpatient center. The procedure last between 1 and 2 hours and the patient can go home shortly after the surgery is done. During the surgery the surgeon will make incisions in your armpits to gain access to the chest muscles. The implants will be placed underneath the naturally existing muscles in the chest. The surgeon will check to see if the implants are even prior to stitching up the incisions. You will then be watched for about 2 hours for any complications before being sent home. Common feelings after the surgery include feelings of being hot or cold and nausea may be felt. These are considered common and normal feelings.

While the materials used for this procedure have been used decades, procedure for male pectoral implants is still considered reasonably new, according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, in 2006 over 400 men have had this cosmetic surgery performed. The numbers that are reported for 2006 are double that of the numbers in 2005 for male breast enhancement surgery. To be a candidate for this type of surgery a man should be free of all diseases. Asthma and high blood pressure can place a patient at risk of complications during surgery. Therefore it is important to discuss with the surgeon any pre-existing medical conditions that may interfere with the surgical procedure. Plastic Surgery Influences
