How old do you have to be to get a fat transfer?

Question

I'm almost 15. and my breasts are a cup size different and I was wondering if i could just put some extra fat from my thighs or something and put it on my smaller breast since i figured it would be safer than saline or silicone. thank you :)

Legally, you need to be 18 as a minimum.Medically, it may be wiser to wait till you are in your early 20's.

Tracy Kayan, MD · Answer

Breasts continue to develop well into one's early '20s, so I would wait until you are at least 18-20 years old before considering any surgery. Fat transfer is a viable option to correct asymmetry, but the jury is out as to whether or not it is "safer" than a silicone or saline implant. Implants have been proven to be safe - fat transfer is fairly new technology, and once done cannot be fully "undone."
