Girl’s Death Sparks Public Interest
The recent death of 18-year-old Stephanie Kuleba has sparked countrywide interest and concern about whether, we as a society, are provoking, allowing and enabling our children to go under the knife at too early of an age.
Although the Stephanie, who was the captain of her cheerleading squad, appeared to many on the outside as being “perfect� she apparently didn’t feel this way and made the decision to have corrective breast surgery.
In the aftermath of her surgery gone wrong and sudden death, many Americans are asking questions like: Why would a parent allow her teenage daughter to have surgery to “enhance� part of her body? Especially when it may not be done developing?
Number of Surgeries Rising
According to the American Board of Plastic Surgeons, an estimated 12 million cosmetic plastic surgeries were conducted in the year 2007 alone.
Data shows that this is a seven percent increase from 2006 and a 59 percent increase from 2000 with the most desirable surgeries being face and chest surgeries.
The Surgery Debate in America
The current debate regarding surgery in the U.S. stands between elective surgery and cases of young girls, like Stephanie Kuleba, getting nipped and tucked.
Kuleba is now known as the face of cosmetic surgery and the importance of making the right decision for both yourself and those you love when it comes to “perfecting� your appearance.
