Can you be the Judge of that?
Yet again teenagers are at the forefront of plastic surgery gossip. First the Italian government reported they were going to implement more stringent cosmetic surgery laws to prevent teenagers from dabbling into surgery at a young age, now the question has risen amongst media circles and industry pundits that teenagers are not old enough to choose whether or not they should be allowed cosmetic enhancements. At such a young and vulnerable age, a decision like plastic surgery is far too complex.
Modern Medicine released some of the research saying, "Researchers who recently conducted a review of the literature on teens and cosmetic surgery (with a focus on breast augmentation and liposuction) found that teens are mental and physical works in progress. "There are significant physiological and psychological changes that occur during puberty," explains Anisha Abraham, M.D., M.P.H., associate professor of pediatrics, Georgetown University Hospital, Washington, DC. "Women can increase their breast size; they can gain weight. One recommendation is to certainly wait until a young woman is perhaps at least 21 before considering either liposuction or breast augmentation, simply because she is still going through pubertal changes."
These issues are not solely based on maturity levels and mental state, they are also based on through the research about physical characteristics of teens. They are far less developed, meaning it is not safe to perform such intense and vastly altering procedures on them.
