This article explores the growing prevalence of cosmetic surgery among teenagers in the digital age. It highlights the role of social media, modern beauty standards, and psychological influences in shaping adolescents’ perceptions of body image and self-esteem. The study is based on a qualitative review of academic sources and recent online trends. The results suggest that constant exposure to filtered images, edited photos, and influencer content significantly contributes to body dissatisfaction among young people. Consequently, this increases their interest in cosmetic procedures at an early age. The article also stresses the importance of developing digital literacy and psychological awareness to address these challenges.
