Plastic Surgery and Teens

When you think of plastic surgery you think of older men or women getting something done to their face or body. You don't nessisarily think of the word teen. Suprisingly many teens under the age of 18 do recieve plastic surgery. In the year 2000 the number of teens under 18 gettingplastic surgery were 306,000. This went up to 333,000 in 2005.
Why do you think Teens get plasic surgery?
Many people think it is the same reason why adults do. They do not feel good about their apperance. The most common plastic surgery in teens is a rynoplasty. A rynoplasy is the reshaping of someones nose. This is very common because it is the safest and easy to acomplish. Also because many teens dislike their nose. Another common one is breast reduction in both males in females. Females breast can become to large and they need one to do a sport or because it is evry uncomftorble for them. Males can get it because some guys devolop breasts and feel very uncomftorble. Another type many girls get is a breast augmentation(also known as a boob job). Many girls do this after they graduate high school, wanting to have a "new iamge" in college.
What doctors do
If you're considering plastic surgery, talk it over with your parents. If you're serious and your parents agree, the next step is meeting with a plastic surgeon to help you learn what to expect before, during, and after the procedure — as well as any possible complications or downsides to the surgery. Usually the doctor will sit you down with your parents and see if you can physically and emotionally handle it. They will ask you questions regarding your helath and well being.
My Opinion
Many people think plastic surgery is a bad thing. That people should be happy about their apperance. I think it does not matter. If people want to get it they should be able to. I think under 18 is a little young, but if it's what they feel is best then go for it.
