When Layla Heyer celebrated her fifteenth birthday four weeks ago, she didn't want clothes, jewellery or make-up. Layla wanted a new nose, and her parents paid for the operation. 'It was the most fantastic present', says Layla. `It's my body, so I can change it if I want. Now I really feel a lot happier´.
Doctor Hal West was Layla's plastic surgeon. `In the past my patients were older´, he says. `But now I see about twenty teenagers every week. they want to be more attractive, and that's OK. But we can't solve everybody's problem with an operation. one mother wanted surgery for her eleven-year-old daughter, who was overweight and `not popular enough´ at school. In my opinion, that's irresponsible´.
Plastic surgery can be dangerous and painful but it is common in the USA and Brazil, and it's also becoming more popular in the UK. A British magazine recently asked girls, aged thirteen to fifteen, for their opinions. Forty percent wanted plastic surgery. Only eight percent were happy with their bodies. But why?
Maybe there are too many images of ` perfect people´ in magazines and on television. People see these images and feel ugly. Doctor West confirms that people often bring pictures to his clinic: `Boys sometimes bring pictures of Brad Pitt´, he says. `The girls want Jennifer Aniston's nose or Jennifer Lopez's curves´. But will these people be different after their operations? You don't need a perfect body to be beautiful or happy.

Quan Layla Heyer va celebrar el seu 15 aniversari fa quatre setmanes, ella no volia roba, joies o maquillatge. Lyla buscava un nou nas i els seus pares van pagar l'operació. `Era un regal fantastic´, va dir Layla. Es el meu cos, el puc canviar si vui. Ara em sento millor.
El doctor Hal West era el sirurgia plastic de Layla. `En el passat els meus pacients eren més grans´ va dir ell. Però ara jo els veia 12 anys més joves cada setmana. Ells es troben molt atractius i més bé. Però nosaltres no podem resoldre tots els problemes amb una operació. Una mare buscava cirurgia per a la seva filla de once anys, que era obesa i no era popular en l'escola. La meva opinió es que, es que és irresponsable.
la cirurgia plastica potser perillosa i dolorosa però és normal en USA i en Brazil, i també és molt popular en UK. En les resvistes Britaniques preguntaven a les noies entre 13 i 15 anys, la seva opinio. El 40% buscaven cirurgia plastica, només el 8% era feliz amb el seu cos. Però per que?
Pot ser hi han moltes imatges de `gent perfecta´ en revistes i en televisió. Les persones miren imatges i es senten lletjos. El Doctor West confirma que la gent porten fotos o quadres a la clinica.`Els nois avegades es volen semblar a Brad Pitt´ diu ell. `Les noies volen tenir el nas de Jennifer Aniston o les curves de Jennifer Lopez´. Però la gent se sent diferent desprès de la operacions? Tu no has de tenir un cos perfecte per ser bonica i feliç.
