Is 18 too young for a boob job?

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!

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.

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

Thank you for your question.  You are definitely able to get a breast augmentation and is a decision that should be between you and your surgeon.  It depends on who you choose for your surgeon how far out they would be for surgery, and that is something you can ask as you call around.As you are looking for the right plastic surgeon for you, make sure you choose a board certified plastic surgeon.  I have actually put together a breast augmentation planner, to help women like you who are starting on the journey of a breast augmentation procedure.  It is full of information and details of what to expect through the process, as well as lots of resources to help you find the right doctor and do your research.  You can download a free copy of yourself today, at aBetterBreast.com.Best of luck to you!

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.
