16．Internet data shows that younger adults have become the main audience crazy about changing their appearance．Once the world of the female in her fifties，plastic surgery（整形手術(shù)） has become the focus of the younger Internet users．
The recent death of Stephanie Kuleba，an 18-year-old high school cheerleader who died as a result of plastic surgery，brought our attention to the fashion of becoming a more"ideal"body among teenagers．In fact，search data confirms this phenomenon．One of the most popular sites visited from the search term"plastic surgery"is the official site of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons （www．plastic surgery．org）．Over 25% of the visitors，which is up from 19.6% two years ago，fell within the 18to 24years old．
Plastic surgery has become an American obsession （癡迷）．Checking other countries，such as the UK and Australia，the 18to 24-year-old's being interested in plastic surgery is an obvious US phenomenon．Unlike the other groups who visit sites related to diseases and keeping healthy，younger Internet users rush to sites that deal with personal appearance，such as those focused on body-building，weight loss and skin-care，and obviously plastic surgery．
While television on surgery may be driving the interest of a younger audience，one factor appears to be a key in preventing such teens from changing their bodies：the failing U．S．economy．There has been a decline in all plastic surgery topics over the last year．While older age continue to search for information on procedures such as liposuction（抽脂），it's younger Internet users who in tough economic times are focusing on improving their outer beauty，though at a discount price．
