In recent years the demand for aesthetic interventions has greatly increased, and among these Breast Augmentation is the most frequent.
I think it absolutely correct to withhold interventions of Breast Augmentation from girls who are less than 18 year old.
This is a deontological and ethical principle that, like all professionally correct specialists, I have always personally followed.
The scientific rationale is that before the first 17 or 18 years the mammary gland has not yet exhausted its potential for development and the prosthesis may negatively interfere with this natural process.
Speaking as a parent, I would also like to add that at a psychological level, wisdom and maturity are often not optimal at young age, and sometimes the parents are plagiarized.
It is therefore, very reasonable for the Ministry of Health to address this problem.
I believe that the best way to do this is to incorporate this principle in the Ministerial Guidelines regarding this type of intervention. (Limited to cases of breast augmentation for cosmetic reasons, except in cases of reconstructive surgery, or surgery required for severe obsessive psychosis, linked to the perception of self image, determined by psychiatric certification, to be individually evaluated from time to time).
I do not think, however, that there is reason to specifically legislate on the subject; otherwise hundreds of other rules relating to the scientific and ethical correctness of the diagnostic or therapeutic medical choices should be issued.

There isn’t a day that a newspaper or a magazine does not speak of botulinum toxin, this wonderful substance that can give us a sweet “stretch of freshness " that, when used with skill, can be also very natural.
