Plastic Sergury at age 15 1/3 years old?

Question

Im getting plastic sergury this year. I made a deal with my parents that if the procedures I want dont HAVE TO be done under general anethesia..that they would pay for the procedures and let me get them done. So yeah, I know rhinoplasty isnt ALWAYS done under general, it can be done under local with some sedation. Thats on my list...but i need to know if the other things on my list are under the requirement. (Meaning, can be done under anethesia(s) that isnt/arent general.). Id love to know if the following serguries I want done reach my requirement.

-Rhinoplasty {x}
-Breast Augumentation
-Tummy Tuck
-Eye lids lifted
-Lip augumentation

Theres more but they arent surgeries. take this as a mission.=)

Please no negative comments!

Answer 1

I'm also 15. I know you might feel as if you need the surgeries, but listen to me. It's gonna leave a bunch of ugly scars that'll be there forever. I would wait until you're 18 at least. That way, you'll be almost done growing, and you can see what REALLY NEEDS to be done. Don't do anything that you might end up regretting later on. Seriously, in your teens, you still have a lot of growing to do, bothe physically and mentally. (not that im saying youre retarded :P) Anyways, this is just my opinion, and i guess you know what needs to be done for yourself. if you decide to go on with the procedures, make sure it's a good, reliable surgical teeam who's workin gon you. Once i heard about a girl who got a boob job and the doctor botched it so her boobs were uneven. one was 2-3 inches higher than hte other! so she went to get them fixed and she got an infection. it was totally gross. finally, she ended up getting them removed. If you wana see, i saw it on dr phil, so maybe its on his site. it was on in september-ish. Good luck!

Your parents need to be checked into psych ward or have DSS called on them for doing something to make you hate your body so much.


I am not against plastic surgery by any means - and would maybe consider it for myself at some point. But you're too young and this means three things.

1) it's a physical risk. You're body is still developing so putting it through such a harsh ordeal could do lasting damage.
2) You're body WILL change as you finish developing. Making changes to it now could lead to you being unhappy in the future b/c your natural state will be different than it is now.
3) If you're this concerned about making drastic, surgical changes to your body now you might need couseling.

People with body image problems can become addicted to plastic surgery b/c they are never satisfied - no matter how much money they spend and how many times they go under the knife.

I'm being harsh b/c I feel so strongly and want to get the point across that this is a REALITY CHECK. I URGE YOU TO SEEK PROFESSIONAL HELP. A professional can help you get perspective and be a neutral party to discuss everything.

Good Luck.

THIS IS NOT A NEGATIVE COMMENT! but I do want to tell you that if you are only 15 years old then you need to wait because you body will change and change until you about 18 or 19 years old. I am not saying that you will be perfect by the age of 19 and you don't need the surgery, I am just saying that if you get it done now, you will probably undergo a lot of complications by the time you are older. I know a 16 year old that got a tummy tuck and didn't need one and her body kind of stretched and not only did it give her gaping holes and rips in her skin it also gave her HORRIBLE stretch marks on the places she had intact.

Answer 4

I'm sure everyone here will agree with me when I say that you and your parents need to really think this over. For the tummy tuck, you don't deserve to get one if you can't lose the weight on a healthy diet. For gods sake, what do you want to look like, a piece of plastic? You seem to me like a fake person, with very low self esteem. All these surgeries are just going to make you fake, not pretty and confident. Only you, yourself can make yourself feel pretty and confident. A doctor and a scalpel cannot. I hope this knocks some sense into you, if not, all I can say is that I tried...

Answer 5

At your age, you may not be done growing. I'm sorry, but there just aren't any positive comments for a young lady your age who wants to change this much. Unless you need reconstructive surgery, which your list is not, it is very unwise. I am seriously concerned that there are underlying issues here.

A second point is that I would question the ethics of any doctor willing to perform these types of surgery on a 15 yr old girl.

Answer 6

Please don't take that risk this early in your life. Plastic Surgery is serious surgery as is any surgical procedure. You are so young and have so much of your life still to live. Please check out plastic surgery that has gone bad...I know that sounds awful, but you really need to see what would could happen if things didn't go right. I know you said no negative comments, but I had to speak up. Sorry I didn't say what you wanted to hear.

Answer 7

This is not negative this is more a question:

Wouldn't it be better to wait until you are older to see "how you turn out" and then decide if you still want the surgery or how you want it done?

Answer 8

no negative comments? that's all your gonna get . you need to grow up and grow some brains. and you need to realize that plastic surgery isn't going to fix all your problems.

one word of advice, kiddo. turn off mtv, and all the reality plastic surgery shows and think this through.

either that or put a paper bag over your head, if you're really that ugly.

Answer 9

your way too young
your body will change and it will keep on changing for the rest of your life!
i have a big nose and i just deal with it
your boobs will probably grow, if not who cares
exersise to loose your tummy
who the hell cares about your eye lids
and who gives a f*** about your lips

this isnt a negative comment
its the truth

Answer 10

Why do you think that you need "plastic" surgery? You are only fifteen. Why would your parents even approve? You must really hate yourself to want to change all of that. Love yourself for whom you are. Start from the inside. Trust God to help you. I wish you well.
