My daughter is a 9 year old model for children’s catalogues

October 4, 2010 by Dr. Schoenfeld

Question:
My daughter is a 9 year old model for children’s catalogues. I’ve gotten a few complaints from photographers about how her lips are too thin. I don’t really want to be the kind of mom who promotes child procedures, but I think having plumper lips might help her career and college fund. How young is too young for a lip augmentation with fillers?

Answer
I would strongly suggest not only avoiding dermal fillers for lip augmentation in your nine year old daughter, but, avoiding any cosmetic procedure in children other than those that are specifically designed to address a significant deformity which left untreated would have serious social and emotional implications.

I went to Dr. Schoendfeld to have a Septoplasty/Rhinoplasty and I couldn't be happier. He called to check up on me multiple times after my surgery to make sure I was doing good and I love the appearance of my new nose. He was able to make it fit my face and make it look as natural as possible while still fixing everything I wanted to be corrected, I am also able to sleep so much better at night since I can breathe out of my nose with ease.

Dr Schoenfeld is a fantastic doctor. He is respectful and makes an effort to get to know his patients. He is experienced and quite good at what he does. I had seen him for several years for Botox and fillers and was always happy with the results—very natural and never overdone. I had some jowls and neck rings developing, and these were beyond anything that injectables or good skin care could fix. I knew I could trust Dr. Schoenfeld to fix these problems and to deliver an aesthetically pleasing and natural looking result.

I am a busy person with a career and many other obligations, and I…
