Impacts of Plastic Surgery on Adolescents

Abstract

As time passes and the medical industry develops, plastic surgery grows worldwide as it expands further among all genders, races, and even ages. Plastic surgery is no longer a medical operation for adults but is also taken very commonly by adolescents, as statistics prove. However, as plastic surgery can bring irreversible impacts to a patient, like any other medical procedure, it is essential for the public to be aware of the results that the surgery may get, including both merits and demerits. Particularly for adolescents who are not fully grown up, the abundance of knowledge about the impacts plastic surgery may bring to one’s physical and psychological body can improve their mindful decisions on the surgery. To discover its influences on adolescents, this research looks into the categories, current situations, motivations, advantages, disadvantages, and dangers of plastic surgery.
