More teens wanting botox
The Advertiser - March 17, 2006

Australian teenagers are heading to plastic surgeons requesting botox injections to prevent wrinkles, a Sydney-based specialist says.

Tim Papadoupolos said the Australian Society of Plastic Surgeons was concerned at the increasing number of teenagers asking for cosmetic procedures such as botox injections and liposuction. "They only have wrinkles when they frown or whatever but they want to stop it early," he said. "I don't think that that's acceptable to have injectibles done at such a young age."
