Our healthcare system at work! Stuffing bags of silicone into the breasts of the vainglorious. Another perfect reason for the continuance of the allopathic oligopoloy.
Sorry my English is not good enough to understend the last sentence.
But really, what does our system have to do with anything. Rich kids watch lots of makeover shows, want to look like movie stars and have money to pay for it while their permissive parents agree to pay for whatever the kid wants. It seems like more of a problem with parents’ permissiveness. I don’t think my mom would’ve taken kindly if I had asked for plastic surgery as a birthday gift.
Usual supply-demand. Can plastic surgeons survive just doing surgery on people with real problems?
It’s a far bigger problem in Korea.

You mean teen cosmetic surgery, or inane non-sequiturs from the fevered imagination of those who see an “allopathic” conspiracy under every rock?
The doctor says some teens are very mature at 17 and can consent–but the mature ones have enough personality development that they don’t feel a strong need to look like someone else.
Except in the case of actualy deformity, this is bad medicine. And the idea that he can screen the patients psychologically is as ridiculous as a psychiatrist doing liposuction. For one thing, his has a strong financial bias to find them all suitable. Any adolescent considering plastic surgery needs some indepth time with a psychiatrist who doesn’t have dog in the hunt.
Didn’t even read the story. The graphic/foto was enough to tell me there was nothing there to comment on. So there you have it. You deserve NO COMMENT!
I am a teen (male, non-ugly, non-fat, non-smoker) and I’d do it, provided there was minimal risk involved.
It’s not because I am shallow or lack self-esteem; I am and I do, but that’s not the reason I’d get cosmetic surgery. It’s not to look like some celebrity or to pander to my vanity.
The reason’s quite simple: all else being equal, the more attractive people go further in life. The trade-off is small in comparison with the edge you’d get.
Hey Andy, have you looked at the list of the top 10 billionaires in Forbes magazine. They’re not handsome. They’re just very smart in their field of expertise. (Of course, they’re not ugly.)
