Abstract:
This study aims to provide a brief review on the subject of aesthetic procedures. Worldwide information from 26 scientific articles and nineteen other sources was used. Definitions were sought, a historical review of cosmetic procedures was carried out, and the types of cosmetic procedures were separately analyzed; statistical data, the legal and ethical framework, and factors associated with cosmetic procedures were analyzed. Cosmetic procedures are at the individual's choice and are aimed at improving a person's appearance for cosmetic rather than medical reasons. Adolescents, on the other hand, experience changes that occur at a biological and psychosocial level; adolescents indulge in a multitude of cosmetic procedures worldwide despite legal and ethical restrictions due to psychological and social factors. Cosmetic procedures have multivalent physical, mental, and financial effects upon the well-being and life of adolescents. Therefore, concerns and questions arise.
