The new Instagram and Facebook rules preventing under-18s from seeing posts about cosmetic surgery are welcomed but could go further, with 74 percent of Brits calling for an age limit earlier in the year.
Cosmetic Surgery Solicitors launched a petition with the government-approved register of accredited practitioners, Save Face in February 2019, following a national survey of more than 1,000 people.
74% of respondents agreed that there should be an age limit on content that promotes or demonstrates the effects of cosmetic procedures.
The most popular suggested age limit should be 21 years old, with 35% choosing this option:
The survey also asked respondents if the images posted on social media of cosmetic procedures influenced how they felt about their appearance.
Our petition called for an age limit of 21, which would go further to protect even more vulnerable young people from making snap decisions that could seriously impact their health and quality of life.
The new restrictions only apply to under 18s that have declared their real age to Instagram and Facebook, so it is still crucial for parents of teenagers to remain vigilant and speak to their children about safe habits online.
