Teen Plastic Surgery


Let's discuss why teenagers are getting plastic surgery! In 2003, over 74,000 plastic surgeries were performed on teens - a 14% increase in just three years. The number shoots to 336,000 if you include cosmetic procedures like chemical peels, microdermabrasion, and botox! What is going on? This article tells the stories of a few teens who decided to go under the knife. They describe underlying issues like low self-esteem and social isolation, which should be addressed through counseling, not surgery. What an extreme, expensive, and unhealthy band aid for a problem that is NOT only skin deep!
