A dermatologist and psychologist warn parents about the risks of young girls seeking lip fillers and Botox before 18, influenced by social media trends. Dr. Cristina Safta highlights that while aesthetic procedures are legally permitted from 18, many minors pursue them, often in unsafe environments. The health risks include irreversible tissue damage from excessive injections. Young patients often desire features resembling celebrities, but professionals stress the importance of natural harmony in facial aesthetics. The pressure from social media creates unrealistic beauty standards, leading to a cycle of comparison and insecurity among adolescents. Many associate fuller lips with social acceptance, but these procedures can exacerbate emotional issues rather than address genuine aesthetic needs.
