People are still developing in their teen years, and may also feel pressure due to their peers to rush into these surgeries as there is no other "alternative". It is best to wait until they are in their 20s before embarking on these painful, expensive surgeries that may not be necessary. I can understand if it's medically necessary, as was the case with the young lady whose big bust was hurting her back, but if it's only done in order to minimize teasing or for appearance's sake, it's obviously a different case.
Malignant Hyperthermia (MH) is an inherited muscle disorder triggered by certain types of anesthesia that may cause a fast-acting life-threatening crisis. The incidence of MH is low, but, if untreated, the mortality rate is high. Great advances in our understanding of MH have been made since it was first recognized in the early 1960s, but the nature of the fundamental defect(s) is still unknown.
Founding in 1981 MHAUS promotes optimum care and scientific understanding of MH and related disorders by encouraging medical professionals and patients and families to prepare for MH through education and testing and by providing life-saving services such as the MH 24-hour Hotline.
