Cosmetic Industry Offers Promise of Perfection for the Young
This article discussed the financial aspect of teenage surgeries. Younger people, who are the main customers, sought the cheapest ways to achieve the look they desired. Motivation to change their body was due to low self-esteem and confidence relating to their appearance. "In chat groups, girls exchange tips on what they were charged and how one clinic reduced their costs to match another's price. But in this busy commercial marketplace, leading plastic surgeons and others worry that medical standards can slip." Only 71 out of 619 private clinics closed after inquiry from the Care Quality Commission inspections. The rest either did not take part or refused to answer. These results brought up questions about how 'clean' these clinics truly were. Quality of the surgeries are brought into question due to the lowered costs for teens who are desperate. Cutting costs lead to lower quality surgeries which furthered the health risks for the already self-conscious teens.
This article emphasized the importance of choosing a well-known surgeon to receive the best surgery possible.
