Is There an Age Requirement for Plastic Surgery?

Thank you for your question.  We generally recommend that development of the body be complete prior to attempting cosmetic plastic surgery.  This may occur at different ages in different people - likely anywhere from age 15 to age 21.  Additionally, surgery performed upon anyone under the age of 18 requires parental consent.

Thank you for your question.  Generally speaking, there is no age minimum for a plastic surgery procedure and every case is evaluated on an individual basis.  It is important that a patient has matured both physically and mentally before an elective procedure is performed and this is part of the consideration when consulting with young adults for a cosmetic or plastic surgery procedure.  Parental consent is required for patients under 18 years of age.
