young injection and scalpel addicts

Fleshy lips, generous breasts, smooth skin. On social networks, beauty is often stereotyped. Plastic surgery is no longer taboo, even among the youngest. At 21, this young girl is already used to injections. In the syringe, hyaluronic acid, a molecule with moisturizing properties, which inflates the lip artificially. “I had really, really thin lips. For me, it was a complex”, she justifies herself. Her friend, also 21, received an injection a week ago, and half-acknowledges the influence of social networks on her decision.

Fake unscrupulous practitioners

In 2019, 18-34 year olds gained one place in the ranking of the number of cosmetic procedures. They are now 50-60 years old. The doctor even says sometimes to refuse minors, and confirms the rejuvenation of his patients. Among her patients, there are also young professionals, such as a 25-year-old woman, complexed by her dark circles, who she says, “serve her at work”. And for those whose image is the main working tool, surgery and aesthetic medicine are often like second nature. Lately, many patients have been victims of fake practitioners who are unscrupulous about the hygiene and quality of the products injected.
