Amanda (16): "I am sixteen years old and I wore a size 36G bra. I weigh 122 pounds, so you can imagine how much pain the size of my breasts caused me. I had neck, back, shoulder and even head problems. I was unsure at first about getting a breast reduction, but I sat down with my doctor to talk about it and we decided that since I am so involved in sports it would be best for me, and even my coaches supported my decision. I mainly want to say . . . it was the best move I ever made."
Suggested Procedures
In our teens, peer acceptance and a positive image are more important to us than they have ever been before—or probably will ever be again. Many teens are self-conscious about their physical differences, whether it’s a large nose, protruding ears, uneven breasts, or skin problems. Some of them develop a poor self-image or even suffer teasing and bullying by their peers.

Plastic surgery can shape the nose, reset the ears, and balance the chest, so that teens can focus on school, sports, socializing, and fun. And certain minimally invasive treatments, such as laser hair removal and medical skin care, can improve the appearance and health of skin. These procedures help boost confidence during these critical years of development.

Combined with good teen health—based on a balanced diet, lots of exercise, using sunscreen, and avoiding smoking—cosmetic procedures help many teens feel more comfortable and confident in their own skin.
