Is there an age limit for cosmetic surgery?

Generally, cosmetic surgery has age restrictions. The treatment scope of cosmetic surgery mainly includes trauma, diseases, and congenital or acquired defects and deformities of the skin, muscles, and bones. The general reference price for cosmetic surgery is 3000-10000 yuan per session. Improvement is usually noticeable 1-3 months after surgery, although symptoms such as redness, swelling, and pain may occur. A detailed explanation is as follows:

The minimum age limit for cosmetic surgery is 18 years old. During adolescence, the body is still in a growth phase, and tissues and organs such as bones, muscles, and skin have not fully matured. Performing cosmetic surgery at this stage may not only affect the surgical outcome but could also negatively impact normal physical development. Therefore, cosmetic surgery should be performed only after reaching adulthood. At 18 years old or older, the body has largely completed its development, making cosmetic surgery relatively safer with better results.

Prior to undergoing cosmetic surgery, a comprehensive physical examination and evaluation are necessary to ensure the individual meets the surgical requirements. It is also important to choose a reputable, licensed aesthetic medical facility and an experienced surgeon to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the procedure. Post-surgery, it is essential to follow the doctor's advice and instructions for proper care, keep the wound clean and dry, and avoid complications such as infections.
