subject: Minors & Plastic Surgery.......*** [print this page] It can be a tough world out thereIt can be a tough world out there. Adolescent pangs usually accompany the growing up process. While the teenage years find a lot of teachers and parents with their hands full of contrary behavior, they have to take care to understand their wards before taking any decisions.
The pre-teen and teen years is when the human body is under-going much change and the human mind is the most impressionable. Plastic surgery, like binge-shopping and energy drinks holds an appeal of its own for this group.
There are parents who dont hesitate at all before gifting their young teenage children plastic surgery vouchers for a high grade or a passing out ceremony. While ethical plastic surgeons do not entertain such requests, there are doctors who willingly perform surgery on young bodies.
The minimum age requirement for performing cosmetic surgery of any kind is eighteen. For children under eighteen, parental consent is mandatory for a plastic surgery procedure. Generally cosmetic surgeons perform a reconstructive plastic surgery on children if there is a physical deformity or an inherent physical problem involved.
If you are a parent and your teen is clamoring for a boob job or a nose job, its time to take a stance. Protect your child from the knife today and give them a proper perspective on the implications of plastic surgery. They will thank you tomorrow.
