Teens and Plastic Surgery
Everyone, it seems, wants plastic surgery, including teenagers. Nearly 40% of all teenagers polled want some form of plastic surgery, and nearly 350,000 have already undergone a procedure. The pressure they are under to look beautiful is not always healthy for teens, though. The focus they put on looks and beauty is so strong that many young women, and even some young men, are striving for perfection at any cost. Many dangers, such as infections, scarring, ruptured implants and more, are overlooked by those desperate enough to do anything to better their self-image. And while some are willing to take the risk, the price they can pay is very steep.
Clearly, plastic surgery is a decision both parents and their teens must consider carefully.
