The breast implants procedure is most desirable procedure among women of all age, to bring back the old good breast shape after multiple pregnancies, or to give the never-achieved size and shape to those whose breasts might be underdeveloped.
Dr. Kevin Tehrani, the founder of Aristocrat Plastic Surgery & MedAesthetics and one of the best plastic surgeons in New York, was recently asked a breast augmentation question by a very young girl.
Can You Have a Breast Augmentation Consultation at 17?
“I turn 18 in December and I’ve always had this crazy plan that I will have the surgery on my eighteenth birthday and use Christmas break to recover. Now that its actually getting close to that time, I’m wondering if its even a possibility? Would surgeons even consult me at 17 without a parent there?” a RealSelf user asked.
“It is perfectly okay to have breast augmentation at age 17 or 18 years of age. If you’re currently not 18, even your consultation will need to be presence of the legal guardian or your parents. You should have a frank discussion with your parents regarding your intentions and I am sure if they are shown the pros and cons appropriately and speak to your doctor about it, you will likely have their support.” Aristocrat Plastic Surgery & MedAesthetics’ Dr. Kevin Tehrani said.
Breast Augmentation is a surgical procedure to enhance the size and shape of a woman’s breast by inserting breast implants behind the breasts.
