Can I Have Plastic Surgery at 14?

Thanks for the question. You have to be older than 18 years old. If you’re an older than 18; you’re a good candidate for breast augmentation. I wish you all the best.

Breast development continues throughout a woman's life, with a first stage of maturity achieved at 19-20 years old. Asymmetry is also the norm for women, as no breasts are perfectly symmetrical in size and/or shape. Don't worry, because some asymmetry is perfectly normal and you may find that it is evens out as you age. I suggest you wait until you're about 19-20 before considering surgery.

If you have a severe asymmetry between your breasts, this can be fixed at virtually any age, as long as you and your parents understand that further revisional surgeries might be needed in the future as your body develops.  Good luck.

Severe breast asymmetry does definitely affect women's self-esteem and is one of the few times that I do elective breast surgery on minors. Having said that, I don't think that you can be confident that your breast development is complete at your age. If you have the surgery now, and your breast continue to grow, they may become more asymmetric again. I would recommend waiting at least a year to assure that their growth has stopped.

There is no age limit for breast augmentation. However, most surgeons will not perform breast augmentation surgery for women have not had full breast development. For women under 18, you will need parental consent.
