Top plastic surgeon calls for botox and filler ban for under 25s

One of the country's top plastic surgeons has called for Botox and cosmetic fillers to be banned for young people under the age of 25. Consultant plastic surgeon at the Blackrock Clinic, Dr Siún Murphy, said the cosmetic procedures should only be carried out in exceptional cases for people under 25 years as young faces are still growing until that age.

"A lot of 18-year olds aren't fully grown yet,” says Dr Murphy, who is a member of the Irish Association of Plastic Surgeons.
