A ban on cosmetic treatment for children and teens has been suggested after it was revealed that a third of youth here approve of it, according to a survey reported in the Singapore Medical Journal. That would be jumping the gun as only 1 per cent of youngsters, by their own admission, had plastic surgery. The number could be higher but is unlikely to match the scale of such surgery on American patients below age 18 - about 230,000 cosmetic procedures in 2011. For now, compulsory reporting by plastic surgeons giving Botox jabs and offering double eyelids and other such fixes to the young would suffice.

The results were published in the Singapore Medical Journal. Only 1 per cent said they have had cosmetic procedures done, mainly to the face, but the team implied that the figure could be higher, saying: "A major limitation of the present study is its dependence on honest responses." Although more than a third approved of youth going for cosmetic treatments, almost two in three...

Image via: mlive.com The billboard was spray painted to include "You're beautiful!" and the two muffins shown atop a pair of jeans were also given smiley faces.
