Looks are apparently on top of the shopping list of teenagers these days as many more of them seem to be opting for cosmetic surgery. Ajay Kashyap, Cosmetic Surgeon at Apollo Hospital, revealed that he was seeing younger patients in high numbers these days. “I have seen a huge increase in the number of cosmetic surgery cases. Four years back, I had rounded about 80 cases, but now it is 120 cases a year,” he said.

The pressure to look good and thrive in friends ‘circle is a trigger for this rise in the number of teens opting to go under the knife to get that perfect nose or that perfect chin.
