If an operation can give people a younger face or body then they will have it and not worry about the dangers or the cost. People have always looked for eternal youth and maybe they have now found it. As well as trying to look younger, people can have a lot of other operations. They can become bigger or smaller.

More and more men are choosing to have surgery, too. The most popular operations for men include changing their nose or ears, and fat reduction. It is also worrying that many young people are having surgery. It is becoming so popular and cheap that some eighteen-year-olds are getting operations as presents for their birthdays! However, these operations can be dangerous and they can also cause a lot of pain. Sometimes the operations go wrong and the person may look worse than before.
