The media makes it out to be a big story that teens are getting cosmetic surgery in larger numbers than ever. However, this is far from the truth. Yearly data, is increasingly showing a reduction in the percentage, as well as absolute numbers of these surgeries. Only, very essential surgery should be done for teenagers. The consult should be done in the presence of a parent, and even if the teen is above legal consenting age, parental supervision is still needed. A cooling off period, informed consent under parental supervision, and a time to rethink is essential. If a problem is severe enough to cause psychological problems, a psychologist can help in arriving at a decision.
媒体大肆宣扬青少年接受整容手术的人数比以往任何时候都多,这成了一个大新闻。然而,事实远非如此。年度数据越来越显示,此类手术的百分比以及绝对数量都在下降。只有非常必要的手术才应该为青少年进行。咨询应该在家长在场的情况下进行,即使青少年已达到法定同意年龄,仍需要家长的监督。冷静期、家长监督下的知情同意以及重新思考的时间是必不可少的。如果问题严重到导致心理问题,心理学家可以帮助做出决定。
