The increasing prevalence of aesthetic medicine among adolescents poses critical ethical, medical, and psychological questions. Social media-driven beauty standards compel young individuals to seek treatments for their beautification.1 The recent ISAP 2024 Survey highlighted the distribution of aesthetic procedures performed on individuals aged 17 or younger, revealing a notable prevalence of interventions at a stage of ongoing physical and psychological development. Rhinoplasty (i.e. non-surgical nose reshaping) emerges as the most common procedure, with 45,512 cases representing 4.2% of the total, followed by botulinum toxin injections (39,440 cases, 0.5%) and liposuction (22,959 cases, 1.1%).
