  3. Cosmetic vs. Reconstructive Surgery • Cosmetic Surgery • Principle purpose is to improve the appearance • To improve self-esteem • Reconstructive • Performed on abnormal structures of the body • To improve function, but may also be done to approximate a normal appearance. http://wwwdelivery.superstock.com/WI/223/1458/PreviewComp/SuperStock_1458-1042.jpg

  4. Plastic Surgery and Teenagers • FDA guidelines suggest waiting until 22 years of age • For most surgeons, 16 or 17 is not an unreasonable age for many procedures, but each decision must be approached on a patient-by-patient basis http://elevateroanoke.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/plastic-surgery.jpg

  5. Rhinoplasty • Makes up more than 50% of teenage plastic surgeries. • To straighten the bridge, remove a hump, reshape the tip or open breathing passages. • Generally not performed until 16 years old. http://www.artsjournal.com/bookdaddy/Home_Photo_books.jpg

  6. But is that old enough? • Composed of bones of the nose, upper lateral cartilage, and lower cartilage • Growth of the nasal bone is completed around 14 or 15 for girls, a bit later for boys • New studies showed that anteroposteriorgrowthcontinues in both males and females after skeletal growth is complete • Hyaline cartilage continues to grow, even after surgery http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/images/ency/fullsize/10172.jpg

  7. Breast Augmentation • Breast development can continue into the late teens and early twenties. • Breast augmentation has a very high complication rate • Based on the implant makers own studies, the FDA concluded that about 40% of augmentation patients have at least one serious complication within three years after getting their saline implants. http://wwwdelivery.superstock.com/WI/223/1672/PreviewComp/SuperStock_1672R-8505.jpg

  8. Breasts are tear-shaped glands that cover a woman's pectoral muscles and are suspended over the rib cage, held in place by supporting ligaments and muscles • Types of implants: • Subglandular: directly behind the mammary gland and in front of the muscle • Subpectoral: under the pectoralis major muscle. Because of the structure of this muscle, the implant is only partially covered. • Submuscular: placement puts the implant behind the chest muscle wall. http://www.bustwithattitude.com/breast-anatomy.jpg
