Patients almost always come back to doctors reporting how the procedure changed their life and how much more confident they feel around people they used to

For many years , women have experienced the pressure to fix their bodies to perfection with plastic surgery.

The author’s points were made clear and I constantly found myself trying to say that cosmetic surgery was okay for teenagers, but had trouble believing it myself. Looking at sources that showcase the expense and the wide variety of procedures available for adolescents helped me develop my paper. Since I made a shift, I was able to refute any oppositions that could have been made against my argument since I had originally had similar thoughts. Consequently, I analyzed many sources to find credible information to support my

Famous actress and model Patricia Heaton once said “Plastic surgery is like the big elephant in the Hollywood living room,” (Brainy Quotes). For celebrities, a plastic surgery operation is just another trip to the doctor’s office. After all, in this day and age, image is everything. We see this in high profile professions, and in large cities across the country. However, recently in Beverly Hills, California, girls as young as 16 are getting nose-jobs as a “Right of Passage” to fit in. This is a trend that has moved beyond the big city, and with 250,000 teens getting cosmetic surgery a year, it’s becoming all too normal. Bullying, media, and just plain vanity are causing children and teens everywhere to go under

More than ever, millions of young adolescents are seeking out plastic surgery because the influence of the media. Teenagers are finding more imperfections with their body and are less and less satisfied with their appearance.

In today 's society teenagers are striving to become as perfect as they can be when it comes to their physical appearance.It is more clear to see what the “perfect” body is supposed to look like, we see it every where, on billboards, T.V, and in magazines.

When speaking of past there was a great sense of taboo when even considering plastic surgery for adults alone, let alone for young adults. Now though, when speaking of plastic surgery in the modern day and age it is part of the common culture for adults as well as young adults due to the rise in influence through celebrities, media, and pop culture.

My research paper is on the topic of children receiving plastic surgery under parental consent. Though these surgeries are labeled as cosmetic, some come with extreme health and mental benefits. Some procedures include fixing cleft palates or lips, birth defects of the face or skull, and gender reassignment. This topic has been an issue since plastic surgery has begun. It might not have been as prevalent in children or as complex as it was in the past, but it has always been there.
