In the last decade, the landscape of aesthetic medicine has shifted toward a younger demographic. This article explores the precipitous rise in cosmetic surgery and minimally invasive procedures among teenagers. Driven by social media "filter culture," peer influence, and the normalization of "preventative" aesthetics, the trend raises significant ethical and psychological concerns. Through a review of 2024–2025 procedural data and psychological literature, this paper identifies key drivers and suggests a framework for clinical screening and parental guidance.
