Cosmetic Surgery Before Seventeen: What's Right & What's Not

Mustafa Al Saeed

Many people nowadays think that cosmetic surgery before the age of seventeen should not be allowed.
Over the last few years many specialist hospitals have been built, and a lot of people have had cosmetic surgery, and it is dangerous. It is extremely likely that no one wants his children to make some bad change, to do something dangerous. While some teenagers think their faces are not good or there are some mistakes in creation nobody knows about the effect in the future.

First of all, it is certainly true that people can change their bodies and faces. While the features of a face come from God, and this is not their choice, human beings believe they can change the creation for the best, but in fact it is to the worst. On the other hand any one before seventeen years old should not be allowed to have this surgery even if their parents agree. In Lebanon many teenagers who are 13 to 17 years old go to change their bodies every year, similar to some celebrities. I have seen many teenagers girls who are from Lebanon have their breasts, lips, and haunches enlarged. A point in support of my point of view is that many people blame themselves and want to get their past faces. I watched a program that had an interview with some people who had cosmetic surgery when they were teenagers. They said they would be happier if they hadn't had that surgery. What’s more almost every cosmetic surgery has been done using some chemicals such as silicon or plastic, and they affect human beings. Many researches prove they cause cancer and many different types of diseases like itch. The desire to look like a star is very dangerous for normal people, because some hospitals do not have good treatments. Every one has a perfect body when he is born.

On the other hand some children have accidents or fate changes their bodies, which has caused deformities for them such as cuts in the ear or nose. No one likes to see a deformed face, so a lot of hospitals, governments, and people agree with that. Furthermore the environment affects children with such as fatness or hair that becomes hard to manage. In those cases, children or teenagers have been changed to the best, because those problems are not from the creator but from people. Ironically, children's need of cosmetic surgery has not been supported, while children who do not need cosmetic surgery have had billions of dollars invested in them, especially in the western countries and the Middle East.

In summary, there are 2 choices to everything, one is good and the second is bad. I have never ever seen people who paid to change their creation to the best (they believe that) who are happy with the new look. I have seen many stars that have had cosmetic surgery before seventeen years old and they blame themselves because they said people before seventeen do not have enough awareness.
The cosmetic surgery is good for children who have deformities and bad for child who want to change the creation.
