Presenter: With us in the studio today is Dr Edmond Hunt, a very experienced plastic surgeon. He is here to speak about teenagers and plastic surgery. Dr Hunt, welcome to the programme. Tell us, has plastic surgery always been so popular?

Doctor: Thank you. Plastic surgery is becoming more and more popular nowadays and many young people are using it to change the way they look. Of course, body image and physical appearance have always been important to teenagers, but now it seems we live in a society where even more importance is placed on being beautiful — in the media, in advertising, for example — which does nothing to help teenagers, many of whom already have a very poor body image.

Presenter: So, is plastic surgery the way to make ourselves attractive?

Doctor: Now, I would like to make a distinction between the two types of plastic surgery and I think we need to be clear about this. First, there’s what we call ‘reconstructive’ surgery which is done to correct defects on the face and body. Examples of this include physical birth defects and injuries like dog bites or burns. This kind of surgery repairs parts of the body. The other type of plastic surgery is called ‘cosmetic’. This kind of surgery involves changing a part of the body simply because a person isn’t completely satisfied with it, for example nose jobs or liposuction (the removal of fat from the body)

Presenter: What is your top priority when assessing a potential patient’s need for plastic surgery? 

Doctor: Of course, the well-being of our patients is always our most important concern. There is some concern that the glamorous image of cosmetic surgery as seen on TV can encourage people to change themselves without reason. Teenagers may suffer from low self-esteem and choosing plastic surgery is not always the answer to their problems. Often talking to a therapist, dieting and exercise are the solution, for example. We must judge each case individually and help people make the right decision. We must also make sure that the individual has finished growing and is mature enough emotionally to cope with the stress of the operation.

Presenter: I see. And how do you decide who to take on as a patient?

Doctor: All potential patients go through a series of interviews and those under the age of eighteen need a parent’s signature. It is essential that we talk to parents as cost is also a main factor. If the patient is suitable, we then help to find a suitable surgeon to perform the operation. He or she must find a certified surgeon, that is to say, one who is qualified to perform the operation well. After all, these operations are expensive and there is some risk involved.  

Presenter: Any words of advice for young people considering plastic surgery?

Doctor: A word of warning, if I may. No amount of money can buy you happiness. The most expensive cosmetic surgery does not have the power to change who you are inside. A common myth is that we can make people like us more by changing our appearance. Our teenage years are a time of development, of personal discovery. It takes time to understand who you are. Remember, people cannot and should not judge you on your looks alone. If they do, they are not worth knowing.

Presenter: What about those who insist that plastic surgery is perhaps the quickest and easiest way to change the way we look?

Doctor: Some would say that today we have the power to make ourselves happier with our appearance and we should take that opportunity if we can. Ultimately, the decision to have plastic surgery is a personal choice. If you have any concerns, speak to your parents, or your doctor. One thing is certain — you should think carefully before you decide.

Presenter: Thank you for your time and valuable advice, Dr Hunt.
