During ages 13-17 adolescents grow and change rapidly due to hormones. It is impossible to exactly predict how a person will develop because we don’t grow in patterns or all develop the same. Plastic surgery may interrupt or jump ahead of a teen’s development. An adolescent could later regret the surgery due to unforeseen changes. If a teenager has surgery to enlarge her breasts at 16 for example but develops larger breasts at 20 she wasted money and needlessly put her health at risk. There wasn’t an apparent flaw in this argument to me.
The layout of the second part to my argument is:
(i) Teens are people
(ii)People should make decisions to protect their health
(iii) Plastic surgery has many health risks
(iv) Thus teens should not have plastic surgery
Teens like people of all other ages should make choices beneficial to their health. Someone should choose a salad over fries because it’s better for their health. Plastic surgery poses many threats to our health. Risks for common plastic surgeries “include infection, damage to skin, nerves, or vital organs, fat or blood clots”, excessive fluid loss or accumulation, and implant leakage.

She will always believe something is wrong with how she looks because she won’t accept herself. A high self esteem consisting of self love and acceptance is important for reasons I stated earlier. To prevent this from happening teens should not be allowed to have plastic surgery.A problem I found with premise 5 was what proof is there that this cycle will occur? Are there any studies to support
