Young Adults Approve of Cosmetic Surgery
Who do you think is most likely to ge cosmetic surgery - someone who is young or someone who is older? There are varied statistics on plastic surgery procedures depending on the type of work being done and the reason for the work but a new study suggests that younger adults are more liekly to be generally accepting of cosmetic surgery. Whether it's for themselves or done on others, the younger population just doesn't have as many hangups about plastic surgery as some of their older counterparts might have.
"It makes sense that young people are the most approving of plastic surgery. Twenty years ago people thought only movie stars and rich women had plastic surgery," said Foad Nahai, MD, president of ASAPS. "Now people grow up knowing friends and family who openly talk about the plastic surgery procedures they have had or the ones they plan to have in the future." (source)
It's not just the younger population that's starting to become more accepting of cosmetic surgery. Over three fourths of the American population would be perfectly fine with having those they know be aware that they got plastic surgery. Women may be slightly more likely to approve of plastic surgery than their male counterparts but the difference between the genders is strikingly small. These days, plastic surgery really is something that's accessible to all different types of people. That's a major fact in contributing to the idea that people aren't as afraid of or judgmental about it as they once were.
