If I Get Liposuction, Will My Teen Want It Too?
Parents are often warned that their children will follow their example
, be it for better or worse. This is why so many children develop the habits their parents had and have the same priorities and concerns as their parents do. What the parents do greatly determines how the child develops and the habits he/she accumulates throughout life. If one parent has made the decision to undergo liposuction, this does not mean that the children will immediately want the procedure performed on them also but there is a greater chance of it especially if there is a teen in the house who is dissatisfied with his/her own body and wishes for something different. These types are already prone to ask for liposuction and it may be hard for a parent who has undergone the same procedure to refuse.Helping your child to understand the reasons why it may not be safe for them to undergo the same procedure is a somewhat touchy subject but must be done. Just saying no without any explanation will probably make your son/daughter even more upset than what they feel already. Trying to work through problems without creating more upset feelings especially about something as touchy as a teen's body issues and liposuction is ideal.
Explaining the reasons behind liposuction, why it is best to wait until you are an adult to undergo this type of surgery and that healthy living is optimum and ought to be developed even if you decide on liposuction are a few things you and your child can discuss when they approach you asking for the same procedure you underwent. This does not make you a hypocrite. Explaining things in a way your son/daughter can understand will make everything easier and keep them healthy.
In exploring the option of liposuction for yourself, it's important to keep your priorities in order. Understanding that this is not an "easy out" or a way to circumvent healthy eating habits and exercise will make it easier to reach a healthy decision and it will be less complicated to explain to your child if ever he/she encounters body issues and wishes to undergo some type of cosmetic surgery.
Make the healthiest decision for your family and your family's budget if ever exploring the option of liposuction for a minor. Budgetary concerns are concrete and very valid reasons to either not opt for something or to seriously consider it. Walk your son/daughter through this decision making process once they ask to consider liposuction as an option.
