Abstract

In India, children's cosmetic surgery is becoming more and more common as teens choose to shape various body parts for a variety of non-therapeutic reasons. This article explores the causes of youngsters in India, a nation without extensive regulations controlling the industry, having a greater desire for solely cosmetic operations. The legal framework that controls a minor's ability to make decisions about getting cosmetic surgery and the significance of parental consent are also covered in the article. The benefits and drawbacks of the consent method for minors undergoing cosmetic surgery are examined. Emphasis is placed on the necessity of establishing a regulatory framework that controls children's access to cosmetic surgery while accounting for the various ethical and legal issues surrounding these operations. There are also suggestions for creating a legislative framework that shields kids from the risks associated with cosmetic surgery.
