Hi, my boobs have been the same size since I was 13 and even when I was younger I wanted my breasts enlarged. I am quite a "chunky" girl and it's always knocked my confidence. I turned 18 in July and I'm in the process of finding a surgeon. Is it too young? Also how long on average is it that I need to wait for surgery after consultation? I only have a certain timescale I can get off work. Thanks.
Answer: Age Appropriate Breast Augmentation Naomi. I appreciate your concern, but you may consider modest weight loss first to maximize your result and boost your confidence. Be sure to consult with a board certified plastic surgeon. Good luck!

Answer: How Young is Too Young for a Breast Augmentation? Thank you very much for your question. In general, you are not too young for a breast augmentation. The Food and Drug Administration recommends patients be 18 years old before receiving saline implants, and at least 22 years old for silicone implants. You should schedule a breast augmentation consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon. At this time, the surgeon can review your medical history, and perform a physical examination, to determine if you are a good candidate for the procedure. If so, he/she will have you try on implant sizers, which will help you decide on the best size implant for your body type.

Answer: Consultation needed If your breast have stopped developing and you are doing it for the right reason and discussed it with supportive friends and family then there is no problem to consider it from 18 - do your research and get a few good opinions - do not rush it as it is for the rest of your life

Answer: Breast Augmentation Thank you for your question. If you feel that you are ready for a breast augmentation which is a personal choice not based on a specific age (as long as you are of legal age) I would recommend an in person consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon. Best wishes.
