Is it possible to have a breast augmentation at 17 with my parents' consent?

Any elective aesthetic surgery in a teenager is done with great consideration. However many teams particularly preparing for college choose to have a breast augmentation with the consent of the parents.

You will get many opinions concerning this too. It is not unreasonable to have a breast augmentation with the parents consent at age 17. I typically recommend that 

Although you can do this, I recommend waiting that one extra year until you are 18 to go through with a breast augmentation procedure. Continue to think it through for the next year, maybe even meet with a couple surgeons and find who you like, but in my opinion it would be best to wait until after you are 18 to have the surgery done.

The FDA approved saline implants for women 18 and older and silicone implants for women 22 and older.  That does not mean it is "illegal" to perform breast augmentation on those younger than those ages, it means it is "off label" for a doctor to do it.  In other words, if the doctor and patient (and the minor's parent in this case as the patient is still a minor and cannot consent to anything legally), a patient under 18 can have breast augmentation.  That said, this is a really rare instance.  Definitely consider waiting until you are 18.  And please find a board certified plastic surgeon with a good reputation.  Best of luck to you.

There are several opinions you are likely to receive relating to this question.Basically it is personal and individual as to what age women get breast implants due to differing rates of physical maturation between women.It is true that the FDA recommends women be 18 to receive breast implants however this is a recommendation not a law. As we all know and understand, government recommendations are for the masses and not the individual.There are also recommendations from the FDA as to which type of implant- saline and silicone - you receive based on your age.Having fully developed breast at the time of surgery is important and that is one reason 18 is the suggested age. Another reason is that you need to be mature enough to understand the long term consequences of this surgery. It can be wonderful but does require more surgery throughout a woman's lifetime.If your parents agree that you should consider breast enlargement - you could visit a local board certified plastic surgeon in Marietta to get more information and options explained to you and your parents. You may chose to act on that information before the age of 18 with your parents consent or you may chose to wait until you are over 18 and get the procedure without needing their consent.This Forum on Real Self is a good way to get basic information but does not come close to what you will learn during a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon.Good luck with your search!

as bodies are changing and growing.  Though it is likely you will have the body shape you describe, its still best to wait until your development is done as it allows you to have the best result possible.  The padded bras of today easily provide you the look you want with your clothes on.  Be patient and when done growing, the go for it.  Also, you can have silicone 'off label' if you ask your surgeon about it.  It could void the warranty but your surgeon should be able to get clarification for you on that before going ahead with the procedure.  And if you want to give yourself the best chance at breast feeding, avoid the nipple incision.

You can get a breast augmentation. However, it would be best if you waited until you were 18 years old to allow your breast to fully develop. This will allow you to select this best size for you. The FDA recommends saline implants after 18 years old and silicone implants after 22 years old. If you operate outside these guidelines the FDA would consider it an off label use. This means that you would not be eligible for the warranty on the breast implant offered by the breast implant companies and the surgeon may require you sign a release. 

While it is possible to have breast augmentation with your parents' approval  you would have to be seen in person.  If you are still growing then I would wait a bit longer until you are 18 or older.

Yes, in some circumstances a seventeen year old can get breast implants with her parents permission.  Saline implants are approved by the FDA for patients 18 years and older and Silicone implants for patients 22 years and older but surgeons can use them "off-label" if they determine that it is appropriate.   Criteria usually require that the patient be physically and psychologically mature enough to be a candidate.   If there is an physical deformity such as a profound asymmetry then it can be deemed reconstructive as well.

The FDA has requirements of 18 years old to get a saline filled implant and 22 years old for a gel filled implants. If you have a genital abnormality then this age differentiation can be altered. I would not suggest doing a breast augmentation in a patient under the age of 18. Nothing is illegal but you want to make sure that your breast grows is stable for at least one year.
