Core Viewpoint - The article discusses the rising trend of cosmetic procedures among high school graduates during the summer after college entrance examinations, highlighting both the popularity and the associated risks of such medical aesthetics [1][2][3]. Group 1: Industry Trends - There has been a significant increase in cosmetic procedures among high school graduates, with some hospitals reporting a 10% to 30% rise in student patients during the summer months [3]. - The demand for cosmetic procedures, particularly among high school graduates, has led to a 30% increase in business volume for cosmetic surgery departments during the summer, with estimates indicating this trend is on the rise each year [3][5]. - Popular procedures among this demographic include double eyelid surgery, botulinum toxin injections, and hyaluronic acid fillers, with botulinum toxin being the most sought-after in recent years [3][5]. Group 2: Medical Risks and Considerations - Experts warn that the notion of "no risk" associated with micro-aesthetic procedures is misleading, as these procedures can have complications and should only be performed in qualified medical institutions [7][8]. - The physiological structures of minors are still developing, and their aesthetic perceptions are not fully formed, making them susceptible to unrealistic beauty standards influenced by external factors [9][10]. - There are potential psychological impacts on minors if the outcomes of cosmetic procedures do not meet their expectations, which can lead to emotional distress [10]. - Medical professionals advise against cosmetic procedures for minors unless there are significant physical issues that necessitate intervention, emphasizing the importance of parental guidance and education on healthy beauty standards [10][13]. Group 3: Types of Procedures and Complications - Cosmetic procedures are categorized into surgical (e.g., double eyelid surgery, rhinoplasty, liposuction) and non-surgical (e.g., light therapy, injections, thread lifting) [14]. - Non-surgical procedures, while generally perceived as less risky, can still lead to short-term complications such as skin redness, swelling, and long-term issues like pigmentation changes and scarring [14]. - Injection-related complications can include unevenness at the injection site, granuloma formation, and in rare cases, severe outcomes like skin necrosis or blindness [14].
