Too young for cosmetic surgery?
The tragic death of a 14-year-old girl in Mexico has sparked public outrage.
A teenager recently died in Mexico, reportedly after having cosmetic surgery. Paloma Nicole was just 14. Her dad claims he didn’t know she was having surgery until after she died. BBC Global Affairs Reporter Mimi Swaby joins us to talk through the details.
#Lasniñasnonecesitanimplantes (girls don’t need implants) has also been trending. We hear why some people online are so angry, and why the Mexican president Claudia Sheinbaum has even commented on the case.
