Principais procedimentos estéticos realizados em jovens e possíveis intercorrências

Abstract

ABSTRACT The search for invasive and/or minimally invasive aesthetic procedures is increasing among young people, based on dissatisfaction that arises throughout life. They reveal like never before the desire to change their image to improve self-esteem, achieve satisfaction and physical and mental well-being. Every day is a new product, a new trend, a new technique. This study is a narrative review of the literature, aiming to analyze the main aesthetic procedures sought by young people, their impacts on self-esteem and possible complications. The procedures most sought after by young people are: botulinum toxin, fillers, peelings, traction threads, polylactic acid and polymethyl methacrylate. For aesthetic procedures to offer visible improvements in appearance, it is crucial that young people are aware of the risks involved, such as adverse reactions, infections and dissatisfaction with the results. A cautious and informed approach is needed when considering such interventions, including consultation with qualified professionals and assessment of risks versus benefits for each individual patient. Keywords: beauty standards, young people, self-esteem, aesthetic procedures, complications.
