The search for aesthetic surgery among adolescents is growing every year. According to the Sociedade Brasileira de Cirurgia Plástica, there has been a 141% increase in the number of procedures performed on young people aged 13 to 18 in the last ten years.???? ⠀ This data proves that improving appearance is a frequent concern for this patient profile and, in some cases, aims to minimize the chances of possible bullying attacks at school and in other social centers such as gyms and clubs, for example. ⠀ Some of the most sought-after surgeries are otoplasty to correct the so-called???? “prominent ear” and the treatment of gynecomastia – breast enlargement in boys. It is important to remember that any plastic surgery in adolescents can only be performed with the authorization and accompaniment of guardians. ⠀ ????Unfortunately, we live in a world where bullying is frequent, and if we can reduce these impacts from the beginning of adolescence, I believe we can contribute to a mentally healthier future. ⠀ #plasticsurgery #plasticsurgeon #health #adolescents #selfesteem #bullying #gynecomastia
