A popular Florida teen is dead after complications from a breast augmentation.

The 18-year-old apparently died from a reaction to anesthesia during the breast surgery.

The family attorney says a rare genetic disorder triggered by the anesthesia may have caused her death.

She underwent surgery to fix a birth defect of asymmetrical breasts.

She's 18, she didn't need her parents approval! She's an "adult" legally.

pertaiing to the question asked if teenagers should be alowed to get cosmetic surgery! Yes they should if something on your body doesnt make you happy get a newer better looking something! Beauty is something people will kill over! and its not like the media is filled with normals! everywhere you turn there are new fashions, produts, and foods to help people look better. its not easy being americas youth and having half of all your friends being overweight!

Its not anyones fault more than the parents. No decent parent wouldn't give it a second thought after the answer no.

The parents should tell their teens how unique and wonderful they are, that they dont need to change anything. Then when they get older if they still want to change their bodies, go for it.
