Abstract:
Perceived or real physical defects may be important for an adolescent trying to establish self-image and adjust socially. Port-wine stains, breasts too small or too large, ethnic nose, prominent ears or chin, excess of adipose tissue-all these "defects" can lead to loss of self-esteem and have severe consequences with regard to an adolescent's development. This chapter discusses surgical procedures that can help adolescents change their physical appearance and consequently improve their self-confidence and social integration.
