We don’t perform liposuction on teenagers or the elderly unless it is medically necessary. Young people haven’t stopped developing and growing, and enlarged breast tissue is common in teenage boys (much to their chagrin). As we age, our ability to heal slows significantly, so performing non-essential cosmetic surgery is inadvisable. We don’t have age restrictions as much as stage-of-life guidelines. In Australia, surgery cannot be performed on under 18s without a three-month cooling-off period as mandatory. We may also request a psychological evaluation if necessary, to keep our patients safe and ensure treatments are not being undertaken under duress or for regretful reasons. We respect everyone’s right to choose their pathway in life; however, it is our duty as medical practitioners to be diligent with patient care.
