Abstract
The teenager is more and more in search of cosmetic surgery. The current societal mode favors this evolution. There are, however, a variety of demands, from disabling major disgrace, through the desire for aesthetic consumption, to unjustified demand in the patient with dysmorphophobia. Information and consent of the patient and parents are mandatory. Cosmetic surgery is legally possible in minors but while it is possible for other therapeutic decisions, there is no anticipated medical majority for cosmetic surgery. Parental consent remains mandatory. The surgeon must also agree to perform this act, but he must take into account the maturity of the minor patient before giving his consent to the requested surgical act.
