Is 18 Too Young to Get a Lip Reduction?

User Avatar
Reee
I am an 18 year old female and was born with large lips. I have been thinking about lip reduction for a long time and was wondering if I am old enough to do it. Sometimes my lips feel tired if I am talking a lot, and it slightly interferes with my speech. I spend a fortune on chap stick trying to get them moisturized and it makes me self-conscious when people stare at my lips rather than my eyes. Am I too young?
