I just turned 18 and would love to get Breast implants before college because I am a nearly an A at this point and the rest of my body is not small so I am disproportional. I am about 5'6 and 128 lbs. I am very active and work hard on my figure but feel I will never be fully satisfied unless I get a breast augmentation. My family members and friends are unsure of the surgery; however, I know that this is absolutely the right decision for me.

Answer: Speak with your parents, then a surgeon... Several variables should be considered when determining the appropriate age for breast augmentation surgery.As a general rule, it’s important for patients to reach both physical and emotional maturity before proceeding with surgery.In addition, it’s also important to follow the guidelines established by the FDA whenever possible. Physical maturity is important because operating on the breasts before growth has stabilized can adversely impact the surgical result.Emotional maturity is also extremely important.It’s very important that younger patients understand the significance of their decision and how it may potentially affect their lives. It’s also important to follow current FDA guidelines.The FDA recommends that saline implants not be used in women under 18 years of age for cosmetic purposes.In contrast, they recommend that silicone implants not be used in patients under 22 years of age.Each patient’s situation is unique and several factors may alter these numbers.In younger patients with congenital breast deformities or post traumatic deformities, surgery may be indicated at an earlier age.If you’re considering breast augmentation and are younger than 19, it’s important to first discuss the issue with your parents.If everyone agrees that breast augmentation is an option, consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon would be appropriate.The vast majority of patients who undergo breast augmentation at this age report high levels of satisfaction.

Answer: Recommended Age for Breast Augmentation? In regards to timing of the operation, this will vary from one patient to another and is a decision that should be individualized. If you have reached your physical “maturity”, proceeding with surgery should not be a problem. Parenteral or guardian consent will be necessary for patients under the age of 18. At some point, seek consultation with board certified plastic surgeons who can demonstrate significant experience helping patients in your situation. Ask to see lots of examples of their work and communicate your goals clearly. In my practice, I find the use of goal pictures helpful during this communication process. I hope this, and the attached link, helps.
