What is the minimum age to have breast augmentation?
Eighteen is the minimum age that I recommend for breast augmentation. This is my policy and the policy of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. The reasons are: 1) Teens and their parents may not fully realize the risks associated with implants. 2) A teen’s body often has not yet fully developed. 3) A teen may not be psychologically ready to handle the outcome or potential complications.
