Is 18 too early for a breast augmentation?

freyjabjork
I'm a 18 year old female looking to get a breast augmentation after I graduate high school. I can never get cleavage + the fat ratio between my upper and lower body has always bothered me (breasts are 34 B and hips are 42 inches). I have been researching since 15 and know that this will help my body image immensely. Living in New York, there are multitudes of opportunities to get the procedure but, is this too young? What are the risks/cons to getting a breast augmentation so young?
