Why The Need for Careful Evaluation
While adult clients are thoroughly evaluated by Dr. Tehrani during their initial consultation, special attention is given to teens as their reasons for having plastic surgery may be quite unrealistic. Teens may wish to improve the appearance of a certain body area to fit in or to become more popular with their peers. For this reason, experienced plastic surgeons will spend lots of time with the teens to explore their level of emotional maturity as well as their expectations.
However, with the right reasons, plastic surgery could actually improve a teen’s self-esteem and confidence.
Common Plastic Surgery Procedures for Teens
-
Rhinoplasty or nose-reshaping surgery is quite popular amongst teens and is often performed between ages 13 to 14 in girls and 15 to 16 in boys, when the nose has already fully developed.
-
Otoplasty or ear surgery topped 2012’s most popular plastic surgery for teens. This procedure is often performed for children between the ages of 5 or 6 which will help the child avoid potential emotional trauma from teasing and bullying in school.

Gynecomastia or male breast reduction treats overly enlarged breasts in boys.
-
Breast reduction in female teens is done for girls who suffer from too large of breasts which may cause shoulder pain, back ache, and discomfort.
