The president of the Cosmetic Physicians Society of Australasia, Dr. Gabrielle Caswell stated that, “Children should not receive cosmetic or surgical procedures of any kind unless there are compelling medical or psychological reasons to do so. They watch the Kardashians and come to me with pictures they see on instagram of models - they want to look like that”. Her organization attempted to pass a ban on health practitioners from performing procedures such as liposuction or lip augmentation on teenagers. The ban would put physicians in jail for two years if they treated a child before they reached the age of 18.
