14 year old with uneven breasts after recovering from anorexia? Could I be a candidate with parental consent?

Question

2 years ago I was hospitalized for anorexia. I have sinned gained weight and am now a healthy weight. As I gained more and more weight my breats got more uneven which was odd because before I had anorexia I had two pretty symetrical C cup breasts and now I have one a cup and one c cup. Ive been a healthy weight for a year now and my doctor said I probably am done growing for the most part. I want to augment one with either saline or fat injections. Could I be a candidate with parental consent?

I would recommend you wait until your are 18 or closer to 18. If a psychiatrist were to recommend this sooner than a plastic surgeon may consider it but your better off waiting in my opinion. Best wishes

Most surgeons will require that you legally give permission for an elective surgery that will change the way you look. Should you want silicone gel implants, the FDA recommends that you be at least 22 years old.

The answer would depend on many factors. In general you are too young for surgery  at age 14 since you are still growing. You will need to see a board certified plastic surgeon to examine you and discus your options. I would recommend psychological evaluation before making any decision.
