When is Too Young for Plastic Surgery?
If you have a daughter who struggles with her self-esteem and would like to undergo plastic surgery, it can be hard to take her seriously and come to terms with allowing your teenager to undergo such a drastic change. However, plastic surgery doesn’t have to be a negative thing, and in fact, it can help to change your child’s life and lift their spirits. But when is too young to get plastic surgery and how can you know when to put your foot down?
- Late Teens
Let’s face it, if your preteen or even fifteen year old daughter comes to you and wants a breast augmentation surgery done, you’ll likely laugh a little and change the subject. However, when it comes to your 17 or 18 year old daughter who lacks a self esteem due to their small breasts, it might be something to consider. As your daughter’s body develops more into a woman, you might want to start to consider the prospect of plastic surgery. However, make sure that you speak with an expert surgeon who can give you advice on your daughter’s growth and the possibility of their growing breast tissue affecting the implants.
- What Is the Real Reason?
If your daughter is known for following everything her friends do, you might want to reconsider getting her plastic surgery— especially if it’s a trend among all of her friends. However if your daughter has been insecure about her nose or breasts for several years and would like to make some changes, then it might be worth considering. Just make sure that you sit down with her and have multiple conversations over a long time frame to make sure that this is a decision that she will be happy with for a long time.
- Think Temporary
Teenagers like Kylie Jenner have blown up the Internet this past year by hopping on the injectable wagon. As far as plastic surgery for teens go, if you’re uncertain about the permanence of the procedure, consider letting your daughter do something a bit more temporary like lip injections. Only lasting anywhere from 4-12 months, lip injections are a fun way to enhance your daughter’s face while not making any permanent decisions.
Plastic surgery is a touchy subject for just about anyone, but even more so for parents of teenage girls. If you and your daughter have considered letting her get plastic surgery but are still unsure if it’s the right decision, try the above information to help clear your mind.

Want a Smoother Forehead? 3 Ways to Get the Results You Want
Nothing can age you quite like your driver’s license— and the wrinkles on your forehead. Similar to how you can gauge the age of a tree by the number of rings it has, you can also gauge someone’s age by the wrinkles on their face. If you are sick of being classified by your age or even a little bit older due to the amount of forehead wrinkles you have, it’s time to take matters into your own hands.
Botox
Everyone and their mom has heard of Botox. As the most popular facial filler on the market this wrinkle filler isn’t’ going anywhere. By making small injections of Botox into portions around your forehead and eyes, your doctor will be able to smooth out those aging wrinkles in no time. And, you can start seeing full results of Botox in just a week!
Chemical Peel
Chemical peels aren’t just for sun damaged or acne prone skin. In fact, chemical peels are a great way to speed up the production of collagen in your skin and stimulate growth of new skin cells— leaving you with less wrinkles and a younger looking you. The chemical peel process works by having a doctor or aesthetician apply the chemicals to your face and letting it sit on your skin for 5-10 minutes, after which the chemicals will be washed away, then within the next few days you will notice your skin start to peel and sluff off. This is an indication that the chemicals are working to reinstate the production of newer and healthier skin, which will give you less of an appearance of wrinkles.
IPL Photofacial
An IPL photofacial is a facial treatment that uses an intense pulse light to target the top layers of your skin and boost the production of collagen. After just a few treatments, you will notice a diminished appearance of fine lines and wrinkles across your forehead. The best part about an IPL photofacial? They don’t require any downtime or recovery time, so you can reapply make-up and get back to your regular schedule almost instantly.
