Potential Effects of Teen Surgery
First, I strongly believe any teen who wants surgery should first have psychological testing to determine the real reasons they want it.
I also feel that a parent should accompany the young person to the consultation with the surgeon. It’s important to ask if the teen can really benefit from the surgery and to discuss the risks and complications. Many might not consider the seriousness of any surgical procedure and not understand that their will be some pain and discomfort afterward. In addition, the desired results don’t appear instantly. It can take several months for the face to return to normal and this can often be a problem.
It’s not as simple as it may be advertised and there are long term effects to be considered. The best thing for you to do if your teenager wants cosmetic surgery is to inform yourself, and your teenager of the financial and medical implications this surgery may take.
