Is 18 too young for a boob job?

naomisharp123
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.
