Plastic surgery by teenagers is a widely debated topic. Youngsters are under immense pressure to look attractive and to be more confident in their circles. The report, based on a survey conducted in the U.K., said that girls start thinking about plastic surgery procedures at the age of just 17 and undergo the first treatment at the average age of 21. An article in the Daily Mail throws light on some of the important points in this report: 

Only 17% of the girls said 'never' about plastic surgery

Even in the U.S. and other countries which lead in cosmetic surgery, more and more young people are going under the knife. It’s crucial that such aspirants are

thoroughly evaluated to determine if their expectations are realistic and if they are physically mature to undergo the procedure.
