Australian State Bans Cosmetic Surgery for Teens
From ABCNews.com
With one Australian state's announcement that cosmetic surgery will soon be banned for most teenagers, some surgeons in the United States applauded the move, saying similar legislation in this country would make sense.Others, however, said such a move here would do little if any good — and it could even make it more difficult for kids who have a legitimate need for cosmetic procedures to get the surgery they desire.
The decision, which was made late last week, would place cosmetic surgery and tanning beds out of the reach of those under 18 in Queensland, beginning in the middle of this year. The new rule would not affect a teen's ability to have surgery to correct deformities or disfiguring injuries, and it would still leave room for an undefined list of procedures to improve medical, psychological or social well-being.
Would you support the idea of a similar ban in United States?
I agree in most cases that teens shouldn't have plastic surgery. Just recently I watched a video on YouTube about 14 year-old girl having fat removed from her cheeks, then chin implant and now a nose job. Now that's over the top. It's a different story when a child has ear pinned, but to get all these procedures while you are still growing is not right.
14 and all this work??? That's just way too young!
