Summer is Apparently the Season For Teen Plastic Surgery

Because summer vacation can last from six weeks to three months, this is the popular time for teenagers to have plastic surgical procedures. Obviously, having these cosmetic procedures in the summer allow for more time to heal, without interfering with school, and giving teens a chance to do this without friends or classmates finding out. Plastic surgery in the summer allows for students get a brand new start when the fall semester starts. There are many reasons why a teenager would want to have plastic surgery in the first place. Some teens are bullied by some facial feature and decide to fix that problem. These procedures can include breast augmentations, nose jobs, lip fillers, and more. In the recent five years, teen requests for plastic surgery has risen 20 percent.

One 17-year-old girl who refuses to be identified, decided she wanted her breast implant surgical procedure kept private, so she opted for having it done during summer vacation. She wore a A cup side and wanted to wear a small C cup. The girl believed people wouldn’t be able to tell if it was a breast implant or the natural course of nature, and her secret would be safe.

A 16 year-old girl played sports, such as soccer, softball, and basketball from the time she was 8-years-old and ended up breaking her nose, becoming all bumpy and mangled up. She was bullied for the way her nose looked. She decided to get a nose job, over the summer, to straighten out her nose.

Jen was 15 when she had plastic surgery done on her nose. After being bullied about her large nose, she tried wearing padded bras to avert the attention her nose was getting. Finally, she decided to improve her life by getting a nose job.

Boys are also opting for plastic surgery. In the case of Jon, he was troubled by his large elephant-like ears and always being teased for them. At first, he decided to grow his hair long to cover his ears. At age 17, he and his mother opted for him getting plastic surgery, and now he couldn’t be happier.

Many plastic surgeons believe the rise in plastic surgery among teens today is because of their celebrity role models. Kylie Jenner, for example, underwent lip injections to puff out her lips when she was 17.

Hip hop sensation, Iggy Azalea displayed her new fuller lips and larger breasts on the cover of this month’s issue of Seventeen magazine. Doctors screen prospective patients to find out whether they really need plastic surgery or copy their favorite celebrity.
