This study addressed three questions: (1) Do adolescents undergoing plastic surgery have a realistic view of their body? (2) How urgent is the psychosocial need of adolescents to undergo plastic surgery? (3) Which relations exist between bodily attitudes and psychosocial functioning and personality? From 1995 to 1997, 184 plastic surgical patients aged 12 to 22, and a comparison group of 684 adolescents and young adults from the general population aged 12 to 22 years, and their parents, were interviewed and completed questionnaires and standardised rating scales. Adolescents accepted for plastic surgery had realistic appearance attitudes and were psychologically healthy overall. Patients were equally satisfied with their overall appearance as the comparison group, but more dissatisfied with the specific body parts concerned for operation, especially when undergoing corrective operations. Patients had measurable appearance-related psychosocial problems. Patient boys reported less self-confidence on social areas than all other groups. There were very few patient-comparison group differences in correlations between bodily and psychosocial variables, indicating that bodily attitudes and satisfaction are not differentially related to psychosocial functioning and self-perception in patients than in peers. We concluded that adolescents accepted for plastic surgery have considerable appearance-related psychosocial problems, patients in the corrective group reporting more so than in the reconstructive group. Plastic surgeons may assume that these adolescents in general have a realistic attitude towards their appearance. are psycholog
ically healthy, and are mainly dissatisfied about the body parts concerned for operation. corrective patients more so than reconstructive patients. Introverted patients may need more attention from plastic surgeons during the psychosocial assessment.

Summary

Using a multi-methods approach (for example, ethnographic interviews, participant observation, content analysis of television shows), I explored Latina women's experiences with the plastic surgery industry. This article illustrates how multiple actors - doctors, beauty pageant promoters, stylists, beauty queens, media and plastic surgery consumers themselves - construct notions of universal beauty. The reality television show Dr. 90210 and the Miss Universe Pageant competition are analyzed to understand the ways in which multiple actors/agents influence Latina/o beauty ideals and how these in turn influence plastic surgery practices. This article also explores the ways in which ethnicity, race and cultural ideals disrupt, and at times, shape plastic surgery practices. What I call the Maja woman emerges as the universal beauty ideal for Latinas. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]

Summary

Cosmetic surgery stands, for many theorists and social critics, as the ultimate symbol of invasion of the human body for the sake of physical beauty. Interpreted as somehow qualitatively different from other efforts at altering the body, plastic surgery is considered to be so extreme, so dangerous, that it leaves no space for interpretation as anything but subjugation. While such criticisms are compelling, they tend to operate at either the grand level of cultural discourse or the highly grounded level of physiological effect. As a result, they leave out almost altogether the experience of the women who themselves have plastic surgery. This article draws from qualitative interviews with 20 female clients of a Long Island, NY plastic surgeon to explore cosmetic surgery as an occasion for autobiographical accounting and a particular kind of account of the self. Interview data suggest that plastic surgery allows women who undergo these procedures to successfully reposition their bodies as “normal” bodies. At the same time, it also requires them to create accounts that reattach the self to the surgically-“corrected”—but potentially “inauthentic”—body by invoking both essentialist notions of the self and corresponding notions of the body as accidental, inessential, or degenerated from a younger body that better represented who they truly are.

Summary

Asymmetrical breasts are an aesthetic problem for teenagers that should be dealt with by a plastic surgeon before it causes significant psychosocial problems. Incision placement is crucial, and attempts must be made to ensure that the scar is well hidden.Eleven teenage girls with asymmetrical breasts underwent unilateral reduction mammaplasty of the larger breast, and four of them also underwent augmentation of the smaller-than-normal contralateral breast with a gel-filled implant. A submammary incision was made for reduction mammaplasty, and the natural elasticity of the young skin was put to good use.There were no postoperative complications, and all the patients were highly satisfied with the final results. The scars are invisible, concealed in the submammary crease.Reduction mammaplasty is feasible for teenagers. The author recommends the procedure for correction of breast asymmetry to avoid emotional and social problems in the adolescent girl.
